One of the most efficient killing machines I've
ever seen in Quake was the
daughter of our tech support lead (way back in my sysadmin days). The
nerd rage that would flow on the net when someone discovered they'd been
repeatedly and brutally hammered by an 11 year old wisp of a girl wearing
pony tails and a frilly pink dress was *epic*
I nearly fell out of my chair in a fit of laughter the
time I heard her
mutter, "Quit running! You'll only die tired!"
ROTFLMAO. That's going to keep me snickering for a long time. That line
could come from one of the better SF stories I've read, say Walter Jon Williams
or John Scalzi.
Thank you.

was still insanely funny though. We dubbed her "Elizideath". :)

o wow theres a blast from the past i forgot all about good old days of quake.
anyone here ever play red faction?
11:51 p.m.
My friends and I really loved the red faction demo. *Everything* could be blown up. Was
fun as hell and you could burrow your way into a wall and end up diving through the
ceiling on to your opponents. Several of us ran out to buy it when it came out and found
they made a bunch of objects immune to ammo in the release :-( totally different game
than what we had set out to buy so we didn't make that mistake again with their
releases.
Otoh I still love the "summoner geeks" video.
