The /newstuff Chronicles #219

[lerner]

It's good to see another CTF megawad out there, and the concept of Rex's map sounds interesting, otherwise it is a typical week bloated with a few too many 94/95 maps.

Why is it everybody blows off my map :(.

[cyber-menace]

The review mainly does it. It didn't appeal to me so I ignored it. I usually like to play unique ideas and concepts instead of the same old gameplay over and over again.

[sargebaldy]

The review obviously doesn't seem to be a good thing to go by, since his map has absolutely nothing to do with the Gauntlet.

Lutrov and Jow? I don't know what you're smoking, but the only Lutrov map up there is Lutrov and Cyber-Menace. I'm not Jow... anyways enough of my ranting.

I had made a map with Jow a while ago this year, so I think he got a bit confused. :D

It's nice to see that people like No Brakes. Me and Cyber put a lot of damn effort into that map. It started production last year.

Also, these reviews are not very good...

Well then, what i've learned from this expierence (sp?) is that I should look at every wad in XWE. :p

All I know is that I'd be pissed if a map I made and spent a lot of time on got a shitty review like that.

Don't look at the me, the last time I did a /newstuff was almost 60 /newstuffs ago.

So uh, why doesn't whoever keeps uploading all these old levels just upload ALL OF THEM and get it over with.

[Szymanski]

I've re-uploaded my DM maps with the permissions changed, so they can be used/abused as people want. No need for a review.

[sargebaldy]

I don't see the point of whining about all the old uploads, people do upload for reasons other than the /newstuff chronicles. The Jim Flynn map, albeit crap, is historic to some for being a Jim Flynn map so I'm glad it's in the archives. Whether or not it actually needs a review is another question.

Probably because it's different people occasionally finding stuff they'd like saved in the well-known archive? Plus it's not like flooding Ty and some reviewer with 2000 randomly uploaded files is a very civilized thing to do.

Just got around to playing ReX's Wicked_7 and thought it was a pretty fun and good looking map.
