I’ve started to play QuakeWorld - trito

Many of us girls have the Quake series very close to our hearts, since many of us got hooked playing FPS games because of Quake.

I’m no different. The game I fell in love with was Quake 3. After playing Quake 3 I tried other FPS games as well, such as PainKiller, Doom3, Unreal Tournament 3 and so on. When Quake 4 became the big FPS tournament game it was natural to swtich to that game.

So what’s up now? After WSVG shut down and basically all Quake 4 tournaments ended, I’ve been back playing Quake 3. Mostly I play Clan Arena since it’s great fun. I’ve also been playing some Threewace CTFS and I was happy to see that many of the people that used to play CTFS 4 years ago are still playing.

Even if I’ve been playing Quake 3 and 4 quite a lot these last years I’ve never tried QuakeWorld or Quake 2, not until last week. I saw there is a big QuakeWorld LAN coming up in Stockholm in one month. It’s called QHLan and they will have some QW tournamnets. I haven’t played in a tourmanet last months and I really miss it, so I’m planning to learn QW in one month and compete in the 1v1 tourmanet.

December is a really hectic time at my work (I work as a video editor and camera man at television) since we have deadlines coming up before Christmas. I work 60 hours a week, but I’ve still had some time to download and try QW. It seems to be a quite fun game, but learning the new movement will be a challenge. I’ve been jumping around on the trick jump maps trying to learn how to bunny jump and I’m improving every day. I’m happy to see 2 of the QW maps are the same maps as in Quake 3, so I won’t have to learn completely new maps.

My expectations are not that high for this tournament. I won’t stand a chance against the good QW players. To be realistic I won’t even have that much time to practice because of work. But I still want to go there and do my best and if I manage to win just one game I will be happy.

Are you a QW player and want to play me (and kick my sorry noob ass)? Contact me in #g0d (0=zero) at Quakenet on IRC and we can have some games. Remember I’m from Sweden so I only play on EU servers.
