ZDaemon Thursday Night Survival #240 - Vispire

[TeamTNS]

(bonus screenshot - watch your steps when you're using sr50, folks)

It's not often we do speedmap WADs on TNS but valkiriforce proved that he did not forget how to make good old school maps in his 2 years long hiatus and that he can make them when given a limited time as well. Hope to see you on Thursday to help him give this sweet mapset a final test before the release on idgames!

Pistol starts in Pain rotation should be... interesting, to say the least.

Imagining map09, lol.

Posting a backlink to the Vispire thread here. Feedback on the wad and possible bugs are best reported directly there.

Hey guys, I' m very sorry the front page news bulletin was late this week - I passed out far earlier than I intended last night and slept right through my newsie alarm. It won't happen again!

[Tristan]

Peaked at 36 players, so it was a solid turnout anyway. Very fun session overall actually! Currently close to starting the fourth rotation.

Some of Salty's antics:



He was trying to write MEMFIS, but the map ended early :(


This map could be exited in about 5 seconds. Measures were taken to stop this happening.

I wish I was conscious during these, the dick shooting medkit jizz cracked me up

It's still going, you know ;) The dick screen may be only a minute older than Eris' post.

[Doomkid]

I've been at work for 3 hours now, sadly :( All I ever make it to is FNF and ZDS, even then its unfortunately rare..

[Tristan]

Actually that particular shot was edited in after I made the post :)

I see. That's unfortunate :( Though you can always quit and play all the TNS you want xD

Ah, didn't notice that :)

I hope that, after that post, people won't think that TNS is only about dick jokes. That would be a very sad, limited, and inaccurate image of what we actually do, because the truth is that we sometimes throw in a fart joke too.

[SilverIce]

Here, have a gold obit:

Here's some preview clips of the highlights from Nevanos

Looks like I finally stopped falling and learnt to fly :)

[valkiriforce]

Had a lot of fun joining in on my first Thursday Night Survival; definitely gonna remember those highlights from MAP09. Thanks again for the invite! :)

[kuchitsu]

Lool, nice with that rocket. :D

[rhinoduck]

@DaIcemann76's screenshot: And here we have the fart joke!

@Anima's death: For a short moment, I was confused what that rocket was doing there. Then I realized he shot it himself and probably forgot about it in the heat of the moment or just wanted that sphere too badly xD GJ Anima indeed, this will be hard to top.

@valkiriforce: Glad to hear that, we had fun too :) So thanks for the wad and thanks for coming, it's always nice to have the authors join us. Btw, feel free to do that anytime, we post what we will be playing each Thursday here in the MP section, usually about a day in advance (=Wednesday).

KD, you should add a new paragraph adding a teamkilling ladder (Salty checks his glasses) :P

[Keyboard_Doomer]

There indeed was some harmless^* teamkilling going on dominated by the saltiest member of TeamTNS.
Well, judge for yourself by the number of teamkills:

25 Salty
6   Malfunction
5   rhinoduck
4   sid0rv
3   HD9
1   ErisFalling
1   HexTheRex
1   Keyboard_Doomer

Spoiler

In ZDaemon when you're killed by a teammate you don't actually lose a life in a survival game. You respawn again with 100 health, 0 armor and all your weapons, keys and other items you picked up are hopelessly lost :)

lol, I remember how disoriented I was the moment I entered MAP01 facing a wall, and turned to the right only to get blasted immediately in the face. I'm looking forward to seeing what was caught in those highlight moments.
