Qexpo Day 2
Megazoid at 2.20
PM
Well, Qexpo kicked off smoothy. The final count is 70 booths in total. Content ranges from competely new
Quake executables, to very strange booths containing just a single word. A few little hitches with the
Qexpo page where quickly sorted out by Horn. Some booths were definately caught with their pants down, while
other were very finished, and releasing unseen maps, engines & screenshots from the start. A healthy spirit of
competition between the booths has formed, which is great news for Quake junkies like myself.
To pick booth highlights is near impossible. I strongly suggest looking at ALL the booths. Content will be changing
on a daily basis, but I have knocked up a list of 20 booth picks that stand out at the time of writing.

Qexpo Starts
Megazoid at 3.46
AM
Let the Quake 5 year celebration commence. More than 50 online booths have been created by Quake modders, mappers, & assorted
Quake 1 junkies. Over the next 10 days, these booths will be displaying previously unreleased Quake material, new maps, new mods, and future releases.
Qexpo dedicated QuakeWorld servers, competitions & chat are running as well.
Today is classic mods day. So, the two official QExpo servers, located here: 63.105.232.10:27500 and
www.innergamer.net:27500 will be running mods like Zerstorer DM and classic HeadHunters. Sorry chaps, these
are QuakeWorld servers, but if you can bring yourselves to load the evilness that is QuakeWorld (hehe), you
might find you enjoy yourselves.
The official Qexpo Chat room is on irc.innergamer.net in #qexpo
Already released is a new DM map by Dan 'CardO' Shannon. If features very nice 3 level egyptian temple architecture.
You can download Stinger (carddm2) from Qexpo or directly from

PerQuake & Qexpo Week Begins
Megazoid at 2.30
AM
This news is a little old now (my fault for not checking around enough), but well worth taking a look at.
Enigma Quake have done a review on a new
weapons modification mod, PerQuake.
PerQuake (6.34MB) is, in the words of Enigma Daedalus, "kick ass man". Enigma Quake
scored it a massive 9 out of 10, and I have to agree, it's well worth the download. As with a lot of mods, it's probably best played on the
Quake engine modification TomazQuake. For more details and the direct download, warp on over
to to the Enigma Quake site.
Qexpo starts THIS WEEK!. Woohoo! Events kick off on
Friday 20th, with Classic Mods Day. Don't miss the 5 year celebration of Quake.
