Ok, back from New York now. It can stop being Monday. The New York trip was pretty awesome. Here is my account of things. Got on plane. Landed. Rode in car to Pseudo. Once there I was amazed at the place. This place was like a Quake worship hall. The only things missing were the young virgins (unless you count the 311 guys). Quake was blaring out of every system there, people violently spasming at incoming rockets, everyone oblivious to their surroundings. We walked around this roomful of Quake addicts for a while, admiring their skill and cunning (with the exception of the 311 guys). I met up with my clan guys who were very excited at all the bloodshed. The cooler clans there had even made up their own clan logo shirts (I guess if 311 had been cool, they would have done the same... but since they stole their logo from someone else they would have been arrested). Finally got my chance to re-match SwanSong. This was a *hard* match. If Swan had not made one little slip in the middle of the game he would have beat the shit out of me. As it was he blew himself up (I think) and then the game was in my hands. I would just like to point out that I believe Swan to be my only true DM equal. Now there was this one guy there... Thanos who beat me pretty well, but I would be willing to bet that given a re-match his grenade dropping tactic would fail him miserably. The 311 guys beat the DR guys in a match but I think maybe our guys had more to drink (we *could* drink since we were all over 21... unlike most of 311... they even told Cash he looked too young to drink) Anyway, the night ended with dinner and getting locked out of the building where my bags were. Fun. Overall everyone I met was very cool. I slipped Blue a bunch of money so that he would say nothing but nice things about me from now on. Disruptor and I missed our chance to go out and pick up underage girls... but there's always next time :) Did I mention that 311 blows? note: For those of you who are too lame to get it... this is a joke. Nothing I say here about 311 really matters. John Cash and I are having FUN. Joke. Humor. Laughter. 311 is cool, just as all the other clans are cool. I just happen to work in the same office as someone in another clan from my own. Creates an interesting atmosphere. I love John Cash in a way only two men can love each other. I love all the guys in 311 just like they were my own little "clan brothers". If you can't take the "humor" don't finger me. --- -American McGee (american@idsoftware.com) id Software ftp.idsoftware.com[192.246.40.6] id "Official" anonymous FTP site ----------------------------------------------- For the latest info on DOOM, QUAKE and other id news, FINGER help@idsoftware.com -----------------------------------------------
