oh finally something for my crappy polish connection!

hahahahah, finally something worth laughing

haha :D

first the #promode nerd table, and now this? I <3 u :D

stream/link is broken? :(

edit: nm works now :)

Stermy comes across really well in this interview

LOl, Stermy mentioned he wears black socks :)

Nice interview.

i wear black socks

OH NOES I HAVE THE WHITE ONES ON!

oh shit !

oh shit! fire zeh misziles!

But, I am le tired.

ok take a nap then fire zeh c/i/g/a/r/e/t/t/e/s misziles

somebody set up us the bomb, make your time. mmmmove Zig

wtf^^

TAKE OFF EVERY ZIG

fucking kangaroos

whats everyone getting all worked up about, are those even stermy's words

that didnt come across quite as arrogant as it first sounded :)

somebody teach the kid to pronounce 'socrates'. no respect :F

That is how you pronounce it, americans pronounce it wrong.

it's called bill and ted's excellent adventure.

you're a disgrace to all gamers :(

wasnt socrates a greek philosopher before he reincanted into an american gaming nerd?

socrates was an american gaming nerd before he went back in time to own ancient greece

He also had the time to play some football as well.

is that a subtle reference to Monty Python?

if so, [+] for you :]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates_(football_player) :o

yes, a geek philosopher

Beats Wheat's old "suckerteez" pronounciation imo ;)

way better then TSNs LW shoutcasters that said "catocks"

Seems like a nice guy :)

great interview. a few loaded questions, but that is expected.

.

cuz stermy is too hot for your harddrive

becuase the GAYlord's internet connection is crap and I rather just have the streaming flash video up first before the larger downloadable video files... The only thing that was worked on this trip has probably been Slasher's interviews.. the WSVG are like gestapos when it comes to video... PQ4 has had a terrible experience at this event which will be discussed in an article here on ESR in the coming days.

Nice interview, some good points.
Anyway, what are the other interviews we will see? Toxic \0>

maybe someone who actually can speak english?

tbh his english is very good for an italian. believe me, ive heard italians speaking 10 times as bad than him :P

The weirdest shit about english in my opinion is that in the netherlands even the worst bum in the country speak beautiful, fluent english. That always amused me :)

i think it really depends on how comfortable the person is at speaking the language. i know a lot of ppl that knew lots of spanish but the were just so uncomfortable with speaking it, it just got all choppy and they would not try to develop an accent.

We have all the good stuff in holland :)

we have to, we are a 'trade' country, lot's of ppl from holland can speak properly english, german, french, and sometimes even spanish. we own

lot's of ppl from holland can speak properly english, german, french, en sometimes even spanish.

The exception that confirms the rule then ;)

i said we can speak it, not typ it ;)

TYPE!!


sry :)

haha yeah saw it when i posted it, was too lazy to edit it though :\

but you took a longer time to reply saying you were too lazy to edit, smart one

haha :D
at 'that' time I was lazy, an hour later i was non lazy again, or something :x

In France, we fuck english, german, italian and sometimes even spanish girls (a lot more tbh). We're a 'sex' country.

Gratz for speaking so many languages, virgin.

haha that was a great reply, [+] for you ! :)

Ted Nugent on deer hunting:

He was being interviewed by a British journalist. The journalist asked, "What do you think the last thought is in the head of a deer before you shoot it? Is it, `Are you my friend?` or is it `Are you the one who killed my brother?'"

Nugent replied, "They aren't capable of that kind of thinking. All they care about is, 'What am I going to eat next, who am I going to screw next, and can I run fast enough to get away. They are very much like the French in that way."

Yep French think about what they will eat next while Americans think about how much they will eat next.

Quality vs quantity.

dude his english is fucking good.

His english is very good and he has a very stylish accent, in my opinion.

haha toxic always gives the most boring interviews out of all the players, he's talented, and a nice guy, but I think once you see one interview, you won't want to see another one, EVER :D

might be true, but with the that he got, he dont need to make good interviews :D!

Well, initially it was just a joke that i was gonna do this, but this thread was too good of an oppourtunity to miss out on.

(17:50:59) (@iTG`djWHEAT) i like stermy
(17:51:03) (@iTG`djWHEAT) if i was gay
(17:51:06) (@iTG`djWHEAT) i would totally ask him on a date

me 2

must be bisexual to have feelings for another man :s

At least it's the same species . . .

i've heard that 80% of the society could be considered bisexual =o

.

say what?

I always knew I was special.

ever since your parents sent you to a special school

100% truth.

So you are NOT gay ?

gay, but only if stermy is around.

I wonder if psychology as a science recognizes a term "selectively gay".

So you mean gay men want to have sexual intercourse with ALL men ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality

Maybe i want to have a relationship (being it romantic or sexual) with a human being because of its personal qualities ? Ah, forget it...

Hey, that was educational! Can we conclude DJWheat is pansexual? I assume that doesn't exclude being married and the fun stuff it supposedly includes...

This all makes sense now !

How do you think I feel now I know about this shit? Who knows what he was thinking here:
http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=946164

Oh, that could use a little photoshop/gif action there :)

There is one somewhere :(

owned by an SK player. As great as Fatal1ty may be, the FAT squad have a long way to go before they can be mentioned in the same sentence as SK.

you just did

wow, you are a sharp cooky!

cookie.

he probably meant in terms of success and not in terms of spam or other crap

talk about a wild guess :P

good and interesting inerview
seems to be a nice guy

I think he seems like a nice and sensible guy.

seems like a great guy, and obviouly a great gamer :)

stermy get your own account

italian player and speack english :nono:

asddas :D

we can see that...

hahaha

Stermy uses 4.2 sens, quick everyone change to it so you can hit 66% rail too.

Also I can't wait for the match between Cooller's English and Stermy's English, although I expect Stermy will win that one.

your english is nothink on lan

overused.

overused but GOOD

agree to disagree. :)

ok lets have an internet argument

so you don't want to agree to disagree?

no i want strife, en garde!

you're a bloody man.

4.2 at 400 DPI should be around 22cm/360°

nerd!

here's a [+]
nou niet meer zeuren

ik zeur niet :<

More like 540 degrees / 45cm

Perhaps, but at which sensitivity notch in the drivers would that be set at? He could have his set to like 3 or 4 for all you know.

Why I cannot download this? There's no link on planetquake.net to direct download, only stream wtf? :p

what's wrong with the stream?

I want to have this on my hard disc mate :)

Streams are alaways "buffering".

Don't know how to d/l it but if you don't want the buffering just pause it for a while, go get a tea or something like a pepsi with ice considering that fucking hot weather and after a couple of minutes just hit play.

The file will be uploaded later tonight, the connection WSVG provided for the press was terrible, on top of the censorship and restrictions they put on them, last WSVG event for PlanetQuake

Who the fuck are you?

the workaholic !

Great interview!

Now we just need interviews w/ Lost-Cause and Ztrider.

agree

interresting interview and nice answers :)

good job on making a nice guy come across as arrogant, roger and slasher.

I don't think he seemed arrogant :x

ye didn't sound arrogant

what the fucki son, he sounded cool man.

the post for this article was edited after i spoke to slasher - part of the topic was "stermy discussed why f-players are better and more professional than other gaming teams"

if you had seen the first several replies to this article, you'd know wtf i'm talking about. the original post was really bad, and the initial responses were deleted after the post was edited.

;)

Please make available for download :X

I dont see why people are still determined to undermine Q4. It's the game for, at minimum, all of this year... deal with it.

undermine? i'd say the majority of the community dislikes or outright hates q4 for various reasons, most of which can be summed up as "we have the perfect engine already, and perfect mods built by the community, why'd you have to fix what wasn't broken?"

go ask the best duelers, off the record, if they like q4 or are just playing it for a shot at the money. you will never be able to publish the replies for all to see if they trust you enough to talk to you, but none of them will say that they love q4, because all of them are q3 holdovers. they already played the most competitively successful game on the best engine to date, and they know q4 doesn't come close to any of the other quakes.

(EDIT: also, duelers might be the only ones making money, but there's more to competitive gaming than 1v1. what do TDM players and CTF teams think about q4's further dumbing down of team play due to the ignorance of raven? i can tell you what most north american teams/players think)

quake4 was undermined the moment that raven put it on the drawing board. if you don't believe that then you are sadly mistaken. raven got the job because they can deliver it to the publisher on time and john carmack is too busy building rockets to worry about the multiplayer community.

why should we deal with it when it's so clearly obvious the game is busted? mod teams have done for free what raven couldn't do for untold millions of dollars.

just because big money decided that it was the game of the year, all this year, doesn't mean we have to deal with it. it's a slap in the face to those who thought that competitive gaming could be about anything more than selling some hardware. how is play supposed to evolve when game mechanics change every five years?

and to the people that say "well dreamhack and lanwar have shown that watching q4 can be fun": i don't give a shit about how fun a game is to watch. i don't buy games and upgrade my computer to watch demos and streams of TSN. i buy games to play them, and i can't stand playing q4. it's a goddamn abomination.

fair enough but the q3 community has been dwindling for a while now, it's only since the release of q4 that there has been such a strong push to bring q3 back.

also, what i mean by undermine is...
q4 is the game for this year. it's a pretty much well known fact that q4 has problems and that not everyone enjoys playing it. what i'm trying to say is why bring up the subject at one of the biggest q4 events of the year. it's just seems that the q2/q3 lovers will take any and all opportunities to further bury q4. there is nothing to gain at the moment by doing so.

After most people saw how frustrating painkiller was to play, then they move on to what possibly could be the worst game ever played at a major tournament that wasn't a WCG which was so bad it WASNT EVEN ACCEPTED for WCG, id guess people are a bit upset? :)

it was frustrating to play? rofl the game had a learning curve equal to that of ball-and-cup, the game was easy too to play, not frustrating. People just didn't like getting owned by someone who had a clue how to play a fast game.

by frustrating i meant, you have full control, then 100damage stake rips your face off

If you have 100 HP and Gold arrmor you dont die from a stake, same if you have MH and silver.

In q4 you get raild a few time after you have controle and die. In PK it takes som mad skills to hit alot of stakes, becous it isent instant hit, it dosent land wher you aim (becous of its banan like movement), and everyone moves alot faster with 100% aircontrole.

And tbh the stake was one of the best things in PK.

well the point is that u have a luckbased weapon that makes 100dmg as a respwn weapon.
so lets say that its a final and u just killed your opponent, its 9-10 1min left, u have 90hp and the guy respawns behind u.
in any other game 90hp would be a pretty decent to spawn rape him whit but in pk u could be killed by a lucky shot in the back.
other then that there's nothing wrong whit the stake gun, just not as a respawn weapon.

That game needed a Respawn weapon like that, becous of the fast movment that lead to alot of spawnrapeing. That weapon gave you a chans to get back into the game.

It would NEVER work to have a weapon like that as a start weapon in any game but PK. But in PK it was perfeckt.

it works in in qw and CPMA so no its was not "needed" and map control is a part of fast paced games. strong luckbased weapons will never be suited as a respawn weapon.

Imo you cant compre PK to CPMA. DM psycho had like 5 spawn points, and 3 of them wher in the same room (or 2 in 1 room but you could see the one in the smal room next to GA from the 2 other spawns).

Almost every map was smal and had teleporters leading to the other side of the map. spawn rapes in CPMA has nothing on the rapes in PK ;D.

as a side note i think every game should have a stake gun instead of the rail, becous the stake is more skill based then the rail.

i'd say there is alot more spwanrape in CPMA and alot of smal maps but thats a part of the game, get mapcontrol and be able to take advantage of it. getting killed by a lucky stake is frustrating when u where suppose to spawn rape him and stuff like that are not suppose to happend in a competitive game. thats was probably why most of the world tour players (if not all of them) thought it was a frustrating game.

See Vo0´s comback on Psyhco PK movie.

link me.

You make it sound like everytime you are going to rape somone you get staked, and thats not the case.

If you controle the Gold arrmor you can take 1 stake in the head and still be alive, and 2 stakes in a row is kinda rare.

The stake gives the other player som hope (not much but som), to get back into the game even tho the other player has both Gold and Mega.

and u make it sound like everytime u respawn u get spawn raped and its impossible to find a weapon in time.
all i'm saying is when u play for 150 000$ a lucky respawn stake should not be possible in the a tight game. that kind of respawn weapon is just not suited for a competitive game.

i guess Vo0 uber respawn kills someone in that movie your talking about? that can be find in random picked CPMA demo aswell and imho its a part of that kind of fast paced dm game.
and even if its ultra exteme in that movie of yours they should have fixed the spawn points, having the stake gun as spawn weapon is not the solution.

No you wont get spawn raped every time, and the stake is not random luck weapon. It has a set weapon trejectory so you can predict wher its going to land, and wher you need to fire to hit with it. But unlike other weapons it takes alot of skills, and it can be dodged.

So all in all its a nice and balance weapon.

If you have less then 140 gold arrmor (think that was enuf to survive a stake) and 100 HP you shouldent go hunt for spawn fraggs if you dont want the chans that he kills you right of the spawn.

In the end the chans that you kill him befor he stakes you (realy fast rockets + the RL has a chaingun as altfire) is kinda slim.

never mind...

ffs.
from your post, people would probably think that everyone can hit 90% rail. rail is skill and it doesn't have anything to do with luck.

(q3 is skill and it doesn't have anything to do with PK,also.)

Whether dumbed down or not, q4 was/is never going to be very big. It's still just DM. The people that don't have 3 hours every night to practice have moved on.

Im not sure if thats what you meant, but practice time has nothing to do with the gametype.

3 hours a night isnt much compared to what top CounterStrike and warcraft3 players do (not to mention the korean StarCraft players....).

not exactly,
I was more referring to the whole 'play to win'. There is no 'play for fun' type players. In CS you can go into a pub and be crap and still have a great time. Try it in q4 and you will spend a day trying to get into a server, and when you finally get in, 15 minutes trying to find a gun.

ah ok :-)

Thats because a starcraft game can last an hour. Quake players can lose an entire game with one wrong turn, CS and WC3 players can make 10 mistakes and no one notices

you obviously never played starcraft

Or any other game for that matter...

full agree =(

I think you can't blame raven for everything, I know one of the leveldesigners there, and he's told me that id was very hands on throughout the production, deciding about this and that etc. Like for example, Lost Fleet had 2 yellow armors and a different layout to begin with, but "item control is lame"(someone from id actually said this) and then they had to change it to one armor.

They were also responsible for the rail ledge up there on The Edge, above the jumppad and one jump away from the quad.

If id got this involved in the leveldesign, I'm pretty sure they were this involved in the rest of the game as well.

thanks for clarifying that. i suppose id is as much to blame as raven then.

just check their beautiful game called doom 3 .. but q3 was not perfect if u look at the mg damage which makes low ping matches cess

the engine was perfect though. and cpma was the perfect game made on the perfect engine (havent played the new versions of it but it was the most fun).

Indeed CPMA is the perfect game on the perfect engine, it's a shame nobody is willing to give it a shot. More speed and excitement of painkiller/quakeworld with the weapons and balance of q3 but on new unique maps.

come to europe :D

btw there's a CAL league with CPMA coming up, there's alot of NA people signed up, you should too :D

Awesome guy stermy is <3

Stermy is cool !

seems like a pretty nice fella

I got some good laughs from some of the things he said. Like AMCS..."1 frag and hide... I CAN DO IT!" lol

Wanna see interview with fat TOXIC :P !!!

Seems like a great guy :).

oh god a few americans have turned this newspost in an a q3 and q4 battle again :< quit it!! Quake 4 is great!

So you change the wording on your post then have the gaul to delete my comments?

.

ye the sound went out of sync but came back

ye i had that too then went all out of synch

well he said that he seriously spends a lot of time on esr... and erm something about how some ppl dont know how to reply

ye i got that much and that he doesnt wear white socks orso lol then it went all weird... maybe it was just the streaming :)

maybe stermy did some free advertising for esr... some ppl didnt like that

hehe

fact is the truth was so shocking it had to be edited out!

yeah, sure RogeR1, make it look like an accident.. you're not fooling anybody

lol, its obvious he wants Q3 back too. Every top player wants Q3 back. Same for almost all the quake comunity.

Resuming: Everyone that has a clue wants Q3 back.

r4nger:
"it's only since the release of q4 that there has been such a strong push to bring q3 back. "

Thats pretty obvious imo. Big events quit Q3 as the main 1v1 game. People didn't whine about it because they where waiting for "the best QUAKE experience of them all wrapped up all in one." (c) Tim Willits. And to a player that has a clue, that means:

GTV, Q3 alike or better netcode, brightskins (ffs, even PK had), playable maps, more models, the same smooth feeling as Q3, a sound system that isn't huge crap (resuming, the same good things that Q3 had). Those things where basic, and those things should have been out of the box if they cared about MP.
So, avoid the "it taked years to improve Q3 to what it is nowadays" pointless argument , because they had osp has the perfect example of what a competitive 1v1 needs.

9 months latter and Q3 its still far from anything you want to mention in terms of solid engine, competition, and fun to play/watch.

So, when the rest of the comunity and big event organizators realize that its the best option for competitive 1v1, im sure we can expect a Q3 comeback, and to stay as the main 1v1 game for long. Because swithing every year or two to different, beta development status games is what makes this a joke.

Thanks.

i agree with a lot u say here.... but watching these pro players play q4 1vs1 is very interesting... i also would like 2 add that q4 1vs1 requires a lot of skill... theres litle/no room for mistakes...

still the same ppl like cooller toxic etc come out on top so this means there is a way to be consistently good at this game....just like q3...but with q4 its just much harder

respect to these players that were somewhat forced 2 play this...instead of q3

tip for the pro players:watch out for fatal1ty cuz hes almost ready to dominate this game =)

and oh yea...well played Stermy!

"lol, its obvious he wants Q3 back too. Every top player wants Q3 back. Same for almost all the quake comunity. "

Yeah, everyone likes what he is used to. Same with q2 players when q3 was released. Btw. ztrider said in an iview that he is enjoing q4.

Why dont u play q3 when u enjoy it when there is no big tournament going on ? Because u like the competition, not really the game. Its bullshit that so many people whine about q4 since his release and want q3 back without even playing it anymore. And btw, this people will never attend an big event.

"[...]because they had osp has the perfect example of what a competitive 1v1 needs. "

But not out of the box. Still q4 has brightskins and why do u need more models if u have brightskins ?
The only thing that missing is gtv and some minor bug fix.

And since we should stay with one FPS game for a long time, it seems like q4 is the game who will.

i don´t remember ztrider saying pk sucks or is a bad game. it seems more like he is not the whiner boy and just adjusts to the given circumstances. maybe that is his key to his fast success in q4.

tbh i did not expect him to do that good but i really enjoyed watching his finals vs stermy even though he lost and the stream was crap.

Yeh im sure he's gonna whine at a game he placed well in for most of the year and won a ton of money.

I'm inclined to say PK was a far superior game to Q4.
If PK sucked then so does Q4, at least PK was fun to spec and spawned a World Tour?

What's Q4 done?
Spawned a bunch of whiners and a few measly prize purses 99.9% of you reading this are not good enough to win.
Oh and given hardware sharks like creative an excuse to flog you technology you don't need by threatining idsoftware with a law suit.

It all sucks. And Ztrider can whine when he wants.

some people like zyz did whine about random stakes and other stuff last season

if you want q3 back so much and know so many other people who want it back too... why dont you guys just get together and play it instead of whining about it on this board?

i dont enjoy playing quake4 online (or more like, servers that give me less than 100 ping are always deserted)... so i went back to playing quake3 on lan with my friends

its harder to win at q4 now cuz players are just better in general. there are more pro players with pro sponsors nowadays... everyone bootcamps months before tourneys... etc... i dont think the game itself is any less consistent than q3

Did he say i want to thank all the dieing people?


respawning ftw

stermy is my fave player right now GO STERMY

ok now a spanish guy is taking over this newspost with stupid q3 debate! =\

GO STERMYYY!!! <3

be carefull with what you post ; he reads it all :B

Interviews with Lost Cause/Forever, 2GD/Ztrider, Toxic, Socrates/Nomadic/cl0ck/destrukt and mojo will be up later today/tomorrow. more videos would have went up during the event but the upload SUCKS here and also capturing the video fucked the stermy interview a little, but can be fixed when the pq3 guys arrive home later today.

Looking forward to them. Also dont listen to the people that say your leading players into saying they dont like Q4. It's a legitimate question and Id like to see what all the top16 players think.

GET EM ON THE SITE! + for your work btw

go Slasher, great iview!

great interview, now go make a long and good interview with toxic =)

thanks.

to be honest i think that's the most sense any professional gamer has talked for a long time. Everyone whining that q3 is better than q4. If people dont stop whining all the time eSports will never fully get into the mainstream.

I agree with stermy
go stermer ^^

E-sports??? you mean people still have faith this will ever become serious, hehehehe.
Should be around the time duke nukem forever gets released, they'll start a professional league with its multiplayer and every contestant is filthy rich and drives a ferrari. :-)

depends on your definition.
If you mean that there are people playing computer games as a profession than I would stay it is happening...

i mean it will be more publicised and televised than it is now and the media will recognise it more as a sport.

ah ok he got some iview training :D good work fata

stermy rocks

Slashers voice sounds sore. As if he's been sucking on the cock a tad too much. Good indept interview, though.

cool interview, stermy seems to be a nice fellow

2gd i-views rock

ey i want this :| it's gone
