MIA (?) Mappers

[DooMBoy]

Just wondering, I've played some excellent levels by some relatively little known people, such as Sock, Pixel Mage Rex, and Micheal Mesko. What happened to these people, and where are they now? They just seemed to have dropped off the face of the earth.

Pixel Mage Rex

Beats me, but tell him to finish his Millennium map if you find him.

[Naked Snake]

Doesn't he post here as ReX?

[DooMBoy]

BBG, ReX is Rex Clausen. Pixel Mage Rex's real name is Quigshuo Wang, FYI.
What about those other guys?

[Arioch]

quig?

Qing.

Pixel rex posted not too long ago, I don't remember what nick he used. As for Sock, I know only one map by him, a pretty old one (but good for its time) called Room 101

Hey come to think of it, where's Paul Corfiatis?

[Little Faith]

He has never really been a forum personality.


His homepage is still up, but I don't think he has made anything after 2002ado.

[Job]

I've always liked his Ultimate Doom style. Though I figured he never really was on the forums.

As far as I know Michal Mesko's mapping days ended with an_coop2.wad. I love his levels.

[myk]

Actually now I remember clearly. I saw Mr. Wang on freenode, not here (where his account is on lurker status.) He doesn't seem to be into any sort of DOOM activity.

What about Lu_Wang?

btw. Doom posts go in the Doom forum.

Could be one or more of these reasons:

1) Life
2) 9 Year old game
3) Anonymous called the police on him
4) Car accident

[boris]

Yes, Pixel Rex was on IRC not too long ago.

5) shaviro is an AOL user

1. Hasn't stopped me yet
2. See above, but what's your point? You're doing RTC-3057, for a nine year old game
3. Wonder who it could've been....
4. It's a possibility

[boris]

Maybe they left because they couldn't stand fucking long pointless sigs.

[Shaviro]

1. Well you are not Mesko
2. Well I am not Mesko
3. It was a joke
4. It's the only way Doomers die :(

[boris]

Oh and I think the last map Michal Mesko made was the one in 10sectors.

A glorious way to leave the community!

Indeed, especially since he was the winner :D

Who? Boris or I?

[DEMOn]

Sock was MIA in 1995.
Msquid rules.

[Stealthy Ivan]

What about Mike Reed, he made some kick ass levels, and then fell off the face of the earth?

[toxicfluff]

Didn't Dario Casali win the ten sectors contest?

Dunno about any of the others, but Sock (presuming it's the same one) is making excellent Quake3 maps and texture packs.

[Little Faith]

The Casalis were already long since gone when the ten sectors contest ran.

[kristus]

Pixel Mage now goes by the nick Quingy on ICQ.. I have him on my list and he's online pretty often.

Lu can not log on to freenode for whatever reason.. Haven't talked to him in a few weeks since my computer have been bugging me..(IE I don't have ICQ installed atm)

Michal Mesko made the winning map of 10 sectors yes..

Dario and Milo Casali I haven't heard from since Half Life.

Sock.. I've never heard from.

[DooMBoy]

You know, it sucks to hear that such talent as Sock and the Casali bros. have left the Doom community. :(
/me sheds a bitter tear
