Quakeworld uploads

[Berzerker]

Just to remind you that id software also made another game called (Quake). You can't leave out Quakers of which I'm one. I've been a Doom/Quake fan forever. Both are just as good as the other. My first id game was Doom but my heart belongs to Quake.

Quake... already has its own database of user maps, though?

 

You see, here at Doomworld, we specialise in another little game that id software released way back in '93, a full three years before Quake! They called it "Doom".

Sure, and good for you. But how is this relevant to the idgames(1) archive? Perhaps you haven't (recently) looked into its purpose?

 

Quake is covered in another archive on gamers.org, idgames2, but that was frozen nearly 22 years ago.

 Then it should have been named Doom uploads. I meant no disrespect towards Doom or you, the forum or anyone on the the forum.

So I'm just going to be brutally honest towards you for a second. That was an uncalled for response and made you sound like an A$$HOLE!

I know where I'm at! I know what this forum is for and does.

I was only pointing out that Quake was also an id software game and it wasn't listed. It was only a suggestion to Xymph that's all. It's his site, he can do what he wants with it. I like both games, I play both games. I probably bought and played Doom long before you were even born. I preordered it in the 90's and had it in my hands before it became what it is today.

That was just my opinion ...nothing more, nothing less.

If you can't handle someone else's opinions in life your gonna have a tough time around others because I'm sure your gonna run across a lot worse than adding something to a list.

id games (software) includes Quake. So when I looked at your site I noticed it was missing. Look I get it, Your all Doom lovers and I am too.

But to me it's like you left something out. When you speak of id software you have to know that Quake was also a very big game for them. It was also popular and still is. I place no preference on one over the other. When they come out I'll buy either.

As I said Xymph and Jimmy I meant no disrespect but I also didn't deserve to be talked down to about liking both.

I like how you supposedly knew that-contextually-bringing up Quake in this thread is utterly irrelevant, but you decided to do it anyways, then get annoyed by Jimmy for making a cheeky remark highlighting your rather odd display right now.

[Dragonfly]

It's the way you said it. "omfg don't forget about people like me who are into a completely separate niche game even though we already have our own solutions waah" doesn't prompt positive discourse.

I didn't know Biodegradable that "Quake" was like a four letter word around here. When I talk about gaming I'll include all the games I like. I'm not just a one game gamer. Hell I like GTA 5, Mad Max, and plenty of other games. I've been a gamer since before Doom came out. To me gaming is gaming. As long as you like the game it's none of my business what that game is.

But again I didn't deserve that.

And to me it was the way he put it to me. I took it just the way he meant it. So I responded. Go back and listen to the tone in his post.

 You see, here at Doomworld, we specialise in another little game that id software released way back in '93, a full three years before Quake! They called it "Doom".

I know when it was released, I was there. It was condescending. It sounds like "Let me set you straight". I don't need to be set straight on anything.

[Redneckerz]

If we took the name idgames upload (or Doomworld.com/idgames) literally, then i would also make a case for the following:

 

 

I mean Hovertank 3D had a mod. Why aren't we covering it?

 

Joking aside, the reason that idgames is the way it is named stretches back to Doom's origins. Here is a DoomWiki article detailing its history.

If that's the case then why are you then persistent in your suggestion in your response?

You talk as if you are unaware of who Xymph is yet you feel the need to keep on pointing out that please, do not ignore Quake. Obviously we all know what Quake is - There is a DoomWiki article after all.

You are intermixing your original suggestion with the supposed talking down by Jimmy to proceed your point. The latter isn't relevant to your suggestion but pointing out why you think Quake is missing even when the man himself already told you as much about it makes this suggestion more a demand than anything else.

Suppose you are right there. But then:

Yes, you actually need to, because everyone here is comfortable with the current name. You seem to differ, despite that there is an archive of Quake content available - Quaddicted.

 

There isn't a thread there by you claiming the same but for Doom.

[Berzerker]

I wasn't aware Redneckerz that mentioning the (Q) word around here would make everyone go ape. It did say id games, did it not.

No, I don't know who Xymph is other than reading his posts on here. I don't see where that has to do with being talk down to about mentioning another game.

I came here for the mapping and Doom has the latest version of id mapping included in Doom.

But it sounds like you can't talk about any other game on here other than Doom. 

Aren't Doom and (Q) related in what the theme of the game is (?) Player goes after hoard of monsters on a planet to save earth (?)

Sounds awful similar to me.

look I said I meant no disrespect already. It's just another game. Your all acting like saying the word was a crime. Jesus ...Ooops sorry probably a no, no too.

[Jimmy]

I'm sorry if me pointing out that we're Doomworld and not "Q***world" makes me an asshole.

 

Tbh thank you. "Quake is a four letter word" is a sentence that has brought me much joy.

Yes, that absolutely is happening. We are livid, mental. *

 

*Pointing out the obvious, i am being sarcastic. Please don't use an ad populum to enhance your point. Nobody is going ape, i am simply giving you pointers and countering your argument - like every discussion would do.

Alright, here is some context, because it has quite a lot to do with what you are suggesting.

With version of id mapping i have to assume you refer to the latest entries. Inevitably, the name of that game is a four letter word.

 

Ofcourse we can talk about any game here, see Everything Else.

That's true. The overall concept is roughly the same.

 

What has that to do with your suggestion, though?

[Berzerker]

Jimmy I didn't see the harm in mentioning another id software game. I thought we all where gamers here and game lovers.

I apologized for calling you the (A) word. Many a year I played both and still do.

[Major Arlene]

Sir, we play Doom here.
