Finding the best CSGO gambling sites in 2019 is not that easy. CSGO gambling has had a chequered past to say the least, with many sites being shut down and penalised because of illegal activity.

There is clearly a demand among some Counter-Strike lovers to bet on their favourite game but for the sector to be sustainable long-term, CSGO gambling sites must comply with the laws - primarily for the safety and security of esports fans but also for the sake of themselves.
Quake Champions - Ranger Trailer, Previews (85 comments)
Posted by Badb0y @ 15:00 CDT, 3 May 2017 - iMsg
Another trailer for Quake Champions is released. This time for the beloved, teleporting RANGER.

From his origins in the original Quake, to his time spent in the bloody halls of Quake III Arena, Ranger is a legendary character who’s returning to once again wreak havoc in the arenas of Quake Champions. With his Dire Orb active ability Ranger can teleport to impossible ledges, dodge incoming attacks and much more. For more see bethesda.net.


His backstory in QC:
Ranger has been fighting for his life ever since he passed through the Slipgate and into the Dreamlands two decades ago. He cut through countless horrors to find four eldritch Runes, and laid waste to the All-Mother, Shub Niggurath, which gave him access to the powerful Dire Orb. Now, time and delirium have taken their toll, stripping Ranger of his memories and name, leaving a soldier hell-bent on survival. Only a photograph of a family he no longer clearly remembers serves to help him retain some of his hope and humanity.

His backstory in QIII:
Originally a slipgate explorer, the man called Ranger has faced and escaped certain death a thousand times on a thousand worlds. His experiences have left him more alien than human now.

There are some new previews out in the open. i guess this is done with the official approval of id Software.

Get your rig ready because North America’s largest LAN party is set to return to Dallas for its 22nd year. QuakeCon 2017 will take place August 24–27 at the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center.

An annual celebration of games and the people who play them, QuakeCon was founded in 1996 and has grown to become a major event that draws fans from around the globe. More than 10,000 gamers attended last year’s festivities, participating in the LAN party and partaking in a wide range of activities, panels, tournaments, workshops and exhibits from leading tech companies showcasing the newest hardware and gaming accessories. Over the years, attendees have also been treated to exclusive presentations and hands-on for several of Bethesda’s upcoming games, including DOOM, Dishonored 2, Quake Champions and more.

Do we see more of Quake Champions on QC?
What Pro Tournaments will be held?
Will there be Pro Tournaments for Quakelive and Doom 4 MP?
I guess the following months will answere this.

QuakeCon 2016 will offer "a special look" on Quake Champions. Only for QC participiants will be show events about the new Prey and Dishonored 2. New Prey Gameplay Trailer is also up.


For now lets watch the new trailer and start spread more speculations. Theres also a topic on the forums about the trailer.

Quake Champions is playable on QuakeCon behind closed doors, no press allowed: "Willits also surprised the crowd with the announcement of the first public exhibition match of Quake Champions, to be held live on stage during the QuakeCon Finals Party on Saturday night. A select group of competitive players will face off to give attendees an exclusive preview of what to expect from the new Quake." (Bethesda.net)

Updates

- QC showmatch not via livestream (plusforward)
- Articles pcgamer, -ign-
pcgamer:
Unlike other shooters with unique characters, the combatants in Quake Champions will all be fairly similar and armed with the same weapons. Some variations exist: Anarchy, a character on a hoverboard, is even faster than the already speedy Quake characters at the expense of armor and health. Sorlag, a large humanoid lizard, has a area-denial acid spit attack that can be used to protect power-ups and weapons from falling into enemy hands.

Gustafsson released Q1 SP Episode (10 comments)
Posted by Badb0y @ 10:56 CDT, 2 July 2016 - iMsg
In celebration of 20 Years of Quake, Executive Producer Jerk Gustafsson from MachineGames (Wolfenstein The New Order 2014), released a custom singleplayer mappack called "Episode 5: Dimension of the Past" last week. It contains nine small to medium-sized levels of various themes including a start map, a secret map and a deathmatch arena.


The mappack is a mix of Quake 1 original and later fan mapping trends. Unchanged are the Q1 textures, monster, sounds and soundtrack, to get the retro feel alive. The gameplay is very fluid. It also has good visuals and nice ideas and fights in it. Some secrets are hard to find. I played Q1 right before the new mappack so i can say for sure its a good one. For reactions of the release surf to the mapping site func_msgboard.


Get it, play it, celebrate Quake!

Cacowards 2015 (Doom 2) (9 comments)
Posted by Badb0y @ 10:27 CST, 11 December 2015 - iMsg
Doom 1 got 22 years old, on december 10th (doomwiki). Over this weekend Bethesda does a price cut on the Doom franchise in steam and merchandise in the bethstore.

Time for the Cacowards 2015!
Well this is like the Oscar show for the Doom Classic community, where the best custom Doom 2 maps & mods get awarded. Like every year, it is worthwhile to play these diamonds, because they look out from the crowd of new content. Congratulations to the nominated. doomworld starts with a quick summary what has happened in the Doom community this year. I would like to push you all in a direction, maps which i like. Sadly i haven't played much of the newer maps this year yet. But the winner descriptions are pretty clear, so choose the ones you like.

I'm in the hope that Doom Radio does a podcast in the future about the Cacowards. Jehar @ tastyspleen will do a special this sunday over twitch.

Doom - Cacowards & unseen Artwork (43 comments)
Posted by Badb0y @ 08:59 CST, 11 December 2014 - iMsg
The winners of the annual Cacowards for Doom Classic are determined.

With the Cacowards (doomwiki) the Doom community honors the best maps & mods of the year. With the predestined winners also non Doomers can get a glimpse of how far Doom Mapping went after initial release. As expected for me, under the winning mapsets are Adventures of Square, Going Down, Monster Hunter Ldt. Comments can be found in the news topic. Direct to the Cacowards 2014.


In celebration of Doom's 21st birthday (shareware December 10, 1993), John Romero shows off some never seen before stuff out of his archive.

It's a little sensation for me. We see unused textures like bushes/way signs/backgrounds, scans of the models, proto typ of Skulls and BFG, alternative bloody death animations from Marine and Pinky, proto Logo/Font/Boxart, sketches, Spiderdemon originally had a magic attack, dinosaur toy legs were used for Pinky Demon, unimplented gun shells. The scans of proto Doom can be converted to have new old textures and animations for upcoming community projects. This is historical relevant game content that will be used. Doomworld collected Romero's links. So there is only one wish left, please Mister Romero, give us a new map!

QuakeCon without John Carmack (94 comments)
Posted by Badb0y @ 07:52 CDT, 13 June 2014 - iMsg
John Carmack via twitter
"Since the question keeps getting asked -- no, I am not going to be at Quakecon this year. My 2.5 hr talk at SMU should still be released."

The talk at the Southern Methodist University took place on April 25th and has not yet been published (people.smu).

John had tweeted several times in the past he would keep his keyspeech aka techtalk at QuakeCon if Zenimax even let him. But recently Zenimax sued John for a Virtual Reality code copy (bluesnews ZeniMax vs. Oculus, Oculus responds). Who knows, if it had not been for the current action he might have gone to QuakeCon.

John Carmack on Leaving id (112 comments)
Posted by Badb0y @ 07:37 CST, 5 February 2014 - iMsg
In an interview with USA Today, John Carmack said he wanted Oculus Rift VR support in future id games like Doom 4. His plan was a partnership, a deal between Oculus and id owner Zenimax. But this wouldnt happened with Zenimax. So he left id in November 2013 to work fulltime at Oculus as Chief Technican.
"I would have been content probably staying there [id Software] working with the people and technology that I know and the work we were doing. But they [Oculus, Zenimax] couldn't come together on that which made me really sad. It was just unfortunate. When it became clear that I wasn't going to have the opportunity to do any work on VR while at id software, I decided to not renew my contract." (John Carmack)

Joe Goss from Tritin Films (Escape from the Bastille, Arenas) had said that he would make no longer Arenas movies, but still bring something shorter in the future. It happened. See for yourself what happens to Orbb. Thanks Earth Quake for the news.

Update: According to Joe's youtube comment he is working on Arenas Season 2! Arenas S2E1 is one year old.
