Holy Flurking Shnit

Dude, calm down. I haven't got anything against the video, it was cool. But I'm not gonna go putting [joke][/joke] brackets in front of everything I don't mean seriously. Sometimes these things are up to you to figure out and not jump to conclusions. ¬_¬

[AdamW]

what you said was "there are people with less of a life than me", with no indicators of jokiness or sarcasm. that's clearly insulting, if also self-deprecating. as bahdko says, you may not have *meant* to offend, but what you said clearly *was* offensive.

[netnomad312]

It's the internet... unless you plan to clearly write "this is a joke" beforehand, you can't totally convey what you mean. I would HOPE that, having "insulted" myself as well in the same statement, it would come across as a joke. But apparantly not. Can we change the subject please? This is getting rather ridiculous.

[Linguica]

Wah wah wah, if you look up "no life" in the dictionary you'll probably see a picture of a guy still playing Doom in 2004.

It's mind boggling it's 10 years later and we've STILL got this game on our hard drives and STILL playing it!

It will be the year 2015 and we'll STILL be playing it!

[Bloodshedder]

Who has less of a life: people who say other people have less of a life, or people who argue that they don't not have a life?

[Fletcher`]

I don't have a life. Ling stole it from me years ago. You cold and soulless bastard you :P

Considering that people still play Pac-Man, I'd say certainly.

[AdamW]

nah, ling, there's a picture of a guy who runs a news site catering to guys who still play Doom in 2004 ;)

try to run it with "-width 640 -height 400" in addition to your normal parameters.

I think it's -width 640 -height 480 that solves those problems. That has always worked for me, anyway.

yeah, I stand corrected.

[Hellbent]

The only speed run that I did that I thought was decent was map18 on UV. I ran it in 27 seconds. I don't think I still have the replay though.

Question: When Vile did this 29:56 speedrun, did he have autorun set in the config somehow? How is this done?

Oh... and hi Erik

[AdamW]

hellbent: set joyb_speed to 31.

record for map18 is 21. I can manage 23. You've got a way to go yet :)

[Hellbent]

O_o

thanks for the info.

[AdamW]

btw, I'd been playing a couple of years before I found that out, so I'm now so used to it that my little finger still holds down the ctrl key permanently when I'm playing, even though I've had that autorun trick permanently in my config since 1996...:)

[VinceDSS]

same here, I hold the Shift key all the time :)

[Grazza]

Heh, I recall someone once claimed that they had the shift key permanently taped down, and that was the reason they used full caps whenever they posted.

[Vile]

Sounds like a guy named cholo that used to be in stx... he racked up quite a few hours of qwca but he had one distinctive trait:

<DC`cholo> i cant believe i used to tape my shift buttom down
<DC`cholo> god ;(
<DC`cholo> man i didn't know there was an option about making +speed automatilly
<DC`cholo> ppl were telling me why u yelling and shit

Then again he was always strange...

<DC`cholo> u can become retard it like the black boxer
<DC`cholo> mohame lali
<DC`cholo> or some shit

(there's a whole quote bot devoted to him)

[Opulent]

some players still don't use joyb_speed 31.
certainly makes SR50 easier...
