Today could be my last day..... (24 comments)
Posted by sofiene @ 23:35 CST, 2 March 2017 - iMsg
I rarely post in Esreality, especially in the " Column" section, you guys might know me as the one who loves Quake 2 or the one who got invited to DreamHack but didnt go or smth... but anyway, i dont have much time to type all of this since am off to the Clinic.

Basicly, today can be my last day alive, the main reason is : i have a f***ed up back, my back is really screwed and i was not able to walk for almost a year now ( all i can do is walk for 5 meters or so, that's my maximum ).

And i have been in severe pain for years, i have 3 herniated discs ( which made me feel alot of pain in a single leg ) and i have an another condition in the bones of my back ( which made me have severe pain in both legs and the lower back parts ).

I went to many docs over the years and each one gave me painkillers and asked me to do some treatements etc... but over the years, my condition has gotten worse and worse, from being able to go to school and play Foot-ball ( soccer ) to barely able to go from a room to an another ( my current condition ).

The latest doc i been to checked my medical files and gave me treatments as well but neither did work, she was going to start injecting me with cortizon ( to at least make the herniated discs less painful ) but she said that it is useless, the main problem is not the herniated discs, its my whole back, it kinda needs to be " re-build " ( no its not scoliosis ).

I went to the hospital and they told me that they will do the surgery, i kept waiting for more than a month and i just couldnt take it anymore, since i sleep only 2 hours a day due to severe pain, and i went to the hospital and the surgeon just looked at me and said " you can move your legs right ? then you are fine, i cant do anything to you " which just freaking pissed me off !!!

Went to an another surgeon, he is a famous one, he checked my files and said that my condition is bad indeed, and the surgery is not that simple, even if i travel to europe or other countries, there is no" new technology " that will make it easier.....he said that i might end up in a wheel-chair or "fragged"....and in case i come out alive, my recovery time will take 6 months.

He did his study of my case and my surgery is due to Saturday morning.

Am not scared or anything, actually, am happy that i will do this surgery, the pain is so freaking HUGE ! seriously, its so strong, both legs and lower back, and the thing is, it lasts 24/7 , everyday every night every freaking hour ! the pain is so strong and annoying and painkillers do not work anymore, seriously, i dont know how to describe it but its like, my legs are getting ripped apart over and over again for the whole day and the whole night, and you cannot get used to the pain ! never ever !!

I was planning to go to Quake-con this year, for the Quake 2 anniversary tournament ! ( if it happens ofc, they didnt announce anything.... cmon ! you made one for Quake 1, make one for Quake 2 too ! :( ) and i was going to get a new PC in order to be ready for Quake Champions... but yeh, all my savings are gone now, thx body, gege lol

Anyway, i hope my surgery will go well, if so, ill probably pop-up in here after 2 or 3 months from now, if not, well heh make a fragmovie or smth about me lol but yeh, hope it works.

And i hope they make a Quake 2 20th Anniversary Tournament at Quake-Con this year, if i cannot attend due to recovery or to death, at least make a last Quake 2 tournament at Quake-con ! :)

And i hope Quake Champions will be awesome ( make smth related to q2 in it plz, and hope its not an another q2dm1 remake ) make a grunt champion or smth.

Biggest love to the whole Quake 2 community, you guys are the best ppl ever ! play more q2, its awesome :)

Anyway, got to go now, hope that i will see you guys in few months :)

Today we, the Q2 scene, present to you a new and latest released frag movie. This is definitely one of the best and perhaps THE best Quake 2 Frag-movie that you will ever see. This movie was supposed to be released in 2005 (Trailer) and now after more than six years, here it is.
The movie is about the Poland Armia Krajowa clan which is one of the best polish clans back in the days and maybe one of the best clans around in that time,here is a note from them about this release :

"We would be very pleased if you let know all your inactive q2 buddies about this release. The movie was supposed to be finished and published in sprint of 2005. Now, after more than six years, we guess we owe them a few frags. Armia Krajowa."


The movie is a little long but it is not boring at all. The sound track is really nice which suits the movie pretty well. The frags are awesome with insane air-rockets and amazing rail-shots and let's not forget the old-school grenade frags which are always a pleasure to see. This is not The Final Act, this is definitely The Final Art.

an another Q2 Quake 2 movie was realised,this one was made by Polandven, the frags,which were done by the same person,take place in the most famous map in Quake history,we recall Q2DM1 AKA The Edge ( and in a slightly modified version of it),here is a note from the author :

"THE FRAGS' is a q2-frag movie, It features some of my frags during lan and net games on 'Cato dm1' and 'the Edge' in 2010/2011."


The movie is in a good quality with The Glitch mob music used in the sound track

some new Q2 Quake 2 movies were realised,one of them was made by the old-schooler Hungary dud4 with some nice air-rocket frags and awesume rail shots,here is a note from him about this movie :

"i've quit the game 3-4 years ago, and made this from my fellow demos to 80% 3 years ago..
I decided to finish the fellow 20% last month, to get rid of many uncompressed files from hdd. as the name tells, it's not a serious production, just a short mix of funplay.

i'm not coming back, just a final goodbye to this awesome game..


Original post : q2scene


both movies are in a good quality and a unique style,worth watching.
