Because playing with strangers isn't as fun

I used to be a PC gamer a long time ago, but mostly shooters. (q3A, Unreal Tournament, yes ,that long ago) Truthfully, I played games mainly to test my machines and never got beyond reasonably good, but not great.

Time is an issue for me lately, but I might be up for learning something.

I'm not a big fan of Steam, I do have a standalone no install version of Q3A I goof around with here and there still and is still alotta fun. It will also run on just about anything now.

I played Unreal Tournament, yeah the one that came out in '99, a lot

Took me a while to get used to UT2004, but I played that quite a bit too (offline - got owned too much online)



Yes, I like deathmatch ffa type shooters

Oh , you know then. I might have a copy of that still too. UT I mean. As far as I know the server piece should still work.

I played 2004 quite a bit too. I was friends with the GMC crew. Giant Map Clan. They were all 99 though. They let me in on their practices at which time I was instantly reminded of how good I really was not. Gunz, B and Handyman were great guys and taught me a lot,(especially B) including that I would never be as good as them. Those guys were on an absolutely different level.

Q3A is a mouse/WSAD/space bar FSP. Just in case you didn't know that :)


I know :teehee: I tried it before, is that the one that runs in sort of its own browser environment? It was tough, but I tried it out because the original Team Fortress was based on the Quake engine, I think, so I wanted to try rocket jumping

I guess I also have Unreal Tournament 3: Black, but I didnt get into it like I did UT2004 - probably because of life circumstances and lack of time though

I never saw a browser based version. It was an install, but somebody rigged up a no install version that runs in Win10. I'm not sure if it's using Open GL like it used to or if it's Direct X now, but it works. It did have rocket jumping, but I blew myself up half the time trying it :D

What was really a blast was Mr. Pants Excessive Overkill mod for it. Everything full auto :D

I've never had this problem before. I upload the file, like I've done thousands of times (plenty of disk space), but I when I go and check the folder it's not there. There's always an answer.

I loved TFC!!! I played it from 99 to 04. Was in a very competitive clan and we set the record for most league matches played. Those were great guys and a great time. We held get togethers every year. I miss all of it.

It works! Do you mind if I share the link with my friend?
Oh no of course do. It's so old now that licensing won't be an issue. I owned like 5 copies I got in different tins and packages and stuff anyway.

One thing. At least for me, it seems to auto select a decent resolution and if I change it, it flips out. I lose like 2 of the axis on the mouse and goes in circles.

I set mine to run in compatibility mode for Windows 2000, and it works great now

Now why didn't I think of that? :D I assume you mean in the executable. I will do that when I get a chance.

yerp, I had the same problem you did - 1/3rd of the screen missing, I couldnt find a mouse cursor anywhere, tried guessing where the Accept button was lol, yeah that wasnt doing the job

not even windows xp mode compatibility was good enough

Let's don't get carried away LOL! I was never better than a bit above average and I've barely touched it in like 15 years.

I know better than to let the word "promise" fall from my keyboard, but I'll play it with you, even if I have to install Steam. Which I never had an account for. Keep in mind, the only games I every really played were shooters. I'll have to learn the controls and everything.

I think you mentioned something about playing in a "clan's practice" and "learning things" which are both things way above anything I did in Unreal

but it'll be fun

It's quite a simple game really, one reason I like it so much

the other reason is the characters are cute as hell and many deaths are funny, for some reason

They helped me get better, but my 8 or 10 months hanging out with them consisted largely of me providing target practice I assure you :D They were just cool friendly guys, unlike a lot of other clans. B (Brandon from Minnesota) was probably the very best player I ever personally encountered. Another one was a 16 year old girl named Natalie from the BOC clan (they had uniform skins and were easy to spot in the wild) who also was an unstoppable monster who practiced constantly. Her older brother wasn't a real good player, but he was a great map maker.

I wanted to setup a one on one triple jump/ low grav/ high speed/instagib shock rifle match between Brandon and Natalie which would have been standing room only for spectator spots, but it never happened.
 
Hello everybody,
For internet gaming, I'm looking for a friend. Although I like multiplayer games like [PUPG], I'm willing to explore new things. I'm not seeking for someone that is extremely competitive because I play video games casually. I'm just looking for someone to play with and speak with while doing so.

I play Super Animal Royale, it's a battle royale type similar to PubG but... different. it's on Steam free to play: https://store.steampowered.com/app/843380/Super_Animal_Royale/
