AMID EVIL

Current Mood: Retro-ish

by

With all of the website tweaking and email server shenanigans I’ve been wrapped up in I haven’t had much time to really play anything lately. I finally managed to play a few games today to take the edge off. I did Okami at lunch on the new laptop, AMID EVIL in the afternoon, and finished off with Quake 3 with Yutram and a bunch of bots. I want to add more content to the main Quake 3 server, and maybe check out some other mods, maps and gamemodes.

By the way; I recently fixed the email server. For some reason I only had outgoing working but managed to science it out with some proper DNS sorting. We’re not on the new one yet, for some reason my ISP and domain don’t seem to be getting along and I think it might have something to do with the recent domain transfer from Bluehost to Network Solutions.

Anyways… you can all email an ear full now if needed (you know who you peeps are).

I was AMID EVIL this evening

This wasn’t one of my best streams. AMID EVIL runs nicely, but I can’t seem to both record and stream it at the same time. So in the future I’ll have to remember to use the laptop as a streaming medium while recording locally. But regardless I did have a smooth stream (although playback looks a bit grainier than I’d like it to be, probably a CPU setting under OBS). I’ve been playing a bit of this over the weekend and I really like it! People were always trying to copy DOOM and Quake but never really paid as much attention to games like Heretic which were essentially the same thing but one uses magical weapons and the other guns. Playing it gave me old school vibes that you would get from playing Quake, Unreal or Heretic/Hexen.

It seems like the further I go in the trippier it gets; I enjoy every moment of it.
