LAN-party 8.10.2005:
It was just Slappy and me at first. I was schooling him in the campgrounds tournament mode. grande came in to spectate about half way through the drubbing. Then it was grande turn. Same map same mode. Slappy got to watch as showed grande how to perfect the fade-away rocket frag. About half way though the match, grande started begging me to change the mode to FFA. I complied with his request. The FFA game ended something like this:
ominous quake voice: one frag left.
sparrowlegs: Who wants to be the winning frag!? grande? Slappy? Where are you guys?! Cowards. Ah! Thanks Slappy.
sparrowlegs: 30
grande: 17
Slappy: 10
New map (Dead of Winter) same mode:
ominous quake voice: one frag left.
sparrowlegs: Who wants to be the winning frag!? grande? Slappy? Where are you guys?! Cowards. Ah! Thanks Slap....
ominous quake voice: you are tied for the lead.
sparrowlegs: Huh!?!? WTF!? Who...(direct rocket shot out of nowhere!)
grande: OTFL
grande: 30
sparrowlegs: 29
Slappy: 10
ouch.
New map. Apparently grande knows The Dead of Winter too well.How about one of the Sokar maps. Not the one Ca1amity likes. The other one. Red armor room behind glass with three teleporters to he get out. Mega health up on the highest platform. You know the one.
grande: 30
Slappy: 21
sparrowlegs: 15
Hunter: 14
Fuck! New Map! How about the one that Slim Shady told me about. A small space map with lots of jump pads. Quad damage. Weird teleport madness near the RG. You know the one. If you don't just ask Skinny. I performed my usual tricks: running, strafe jumping. Unfortunately, there was nowhere to run or jump... And grande is snipping me from...oh I've fallen off the map again. Slappy got the quad...and I'm dead. I'll hop on over to the teleporter/RG/hell. And I've fallen off the map again. OK, I'll just power up here, hit jump pad to get the Mega Health...and grande had nudged me off the edge with the RG. Fuck!
grande: 19
Slappy: 14
sparrowlegs: -3
This isn't happen. This isn't happening! Must end game with positive score... I just need to stay alive and snipe Slappy...and grande has snipped me again from nowhere. Alright, I really wanna quit...but that would me make me like snuff. But if I end the game with a negative score, then I'm like Slim Shady! Must stay alive...go for the red armor...and I've fallen off the edge again! FUCK!

I hate LAN-parties.
good job 'legs. No see if you can do that, oh, about 100 times in a row w/o quitting.
ReplyDeleteI feel as though I should go out on a high note or something. perhaps retire my mouse pad or turn in my uber-geeky zero friction mouse skates.
ReplyDeletethe best part of the LAN-party was listing to sparrowlegs and the cries of anguish that would echo throughout the empty office. if we could chart the amount of smack-talk on the y axis to the time played on the x axis, we'd go from off the charts high at the beginning to pointing directly at the floor at the end -- which is where I expected to see a chalk outline after we finished the last space map.
I think this brings the all time total to:
sparrowlegs - 100
grande - 2
I expect the retaliation at the next LAN-party to be swift and unmerciless.
I have new rule for myself. I shall always practice with CPMA level bots. No more of this level 3 bullshit.
ReplyDeleteBTW, grande. If you want to try to beat my personal bests, here are the specifics:
ReplyDeletePRO-Q3DM6, Tournement Mode with a 10 minute limit, Doom level 3: 45 frags, 0 deaths.
The pyramid map, FFA Mode with a 30 frag limit, level 3 bots: 32 frags, 0 deaths.
yeah, I'm thinking that your record is safe as far as I'm concerned. I certainly need to learn my way around PRO-Q3DM6 much better!
ReplyDeleteSo you gave it a try?
ReplyDeleteSo, you're saying you killed 3 bots with your final shot?
ReplyDeleteYes. Power up. Get the quad. Then stand at the end of one of the really long walk-ways and wait for the perfect rail shot.
ReplyDeleteno attempts yet. I'm just basing that on the beating that I took by you that evening. I'll give it a shot one of these days.
