Hey Thorin, as someone who has no idea who these people are, I really enjoy their interviews. It's a cool glimpse into the past that I had no idea existed. Keep em up!
Wow man, thank you for all these great interviews with all these great Quake legends! Hope you going to do more, maybe one with Immortal? Great stuff from Makaveli, and he has such a deep voice :)
I started playing Q2 when I was 13 years old, in 1999. You are filling the gaps, within the stories of my life! Thank you! Makaveli, sounds like a great guy!
Awesome interview. Makaveli was a true great of the late golden age of Quake 2. Peak Makaveli (99-2000) would have annihilated peak Thresh (98) since the game had moved on incredibly since he retired. Although Purri and Damiah Q2 took duelling to a totally higher level years later.
I used to play on Jade Garden back in the days when k9 members were all playing on there. I miss those days! I remember playing 1v1. I wish I could bring those days back!
I get a lot of inspiration for improving my own game listing to this episode of reflections. I also very much enjoy hearing hearing all of the history.
having never herd of "Makaveli" before i must say he seems like a great guy! and also theese last Reflections have been really entertaining and enlightening! mad propps and keep the god job up
+SaftKalasEmil Yeah, its worth pointing out though that he was alot more cocky when he was younger. He has matured alot since then, its a nice thing to see.
Dennis = Thresh Kurt = Immortal It was a bit difficult to follow the interview at first because interviewee was using names I wasn't used to, so maybe when you do more of these could you make sure to remind us who's who?
Duncan, you should give a call to Ola Moum aka Element to make a Reflections episode. He used to be one of the most interesting dudes around in the esports scene. It would be cool to hear his opions as an outsider and making comparations with back then in the early years and now.
Anyway, I'd say the machine gun issue was mostly fixed in quake live, as it deals only 5 hp of damage, instead of 7. You don't get many machine gun frags in quake live; you also don't get nearly as many spawn frags as in q3, thanks to the better respawn system.
Good interview. I have no insight about video making but you can insert some short videos related to the interview. There might be many volunteers at esreality community to help on that. We are old idd.
Maka remember smoking out on sat of one of those old CPL tournaments think maybe babbages CPL. Now all of Texas is flat just Dallas!!!!maybe it was frag 3 never forget you versus immortal q2 in match1 map sorry you didn't win that one dude I've still got recordings from back in the day ...do remem our 4v4 woopin your ass they were reallying to much on u .....how did counterstrike go from some little tourney to take down q3..... Did you ever beat immortal or fatality but you vs immortal at I think razer CPL damn I miss those days
