Been playing it since summer 08. Anyone who registered for QuakeCon got a free invite.
alias: n0d

The reason some of you guys haven't heard of it is because its still in beta but don't worry I have a feeling it might get stamped soon.
PS. Fatal1ty is a joke :rolleyes:

Finally! Someone that has the same thoughts I do.

The only thing he wants now is just those checks. He doesn't even have the skill to game anymore. I bet if I had the time to practice I could at least get him smoked. He faces these people that have no gaming experience just to show he still has the skills...You playing against n00bs.:shadedshu:nutkick::slap::laugh:

Sorry that was my rant.

Man back in the day I considered going pro with Quake 3. However I'm so out of "rhythm" now a yard nome could beat me.

Going pro takes so much time, effort and money its a lifestyle change. You HAVE to live, breathe, shit, and eat Quake to be a pro at it. 6-8 hours a day of practice/playing. Then you have to support your own traveling expenses until your sponsored, oh, and you have to WIN. When I was 16-18 I could see myself being a professional gamer. Now that I'm in my mid 20's with a 40 hour a week job, a life, etc.. theres no way I could keep up. I hold my own vs the non-pro's, but the real pro's beat the shit out of me. And I've been playing quake competitively since I was 14, almost 12 years total.

I'm with yeah.

And it is very hard to become pro. Some people just come naturally. If you go to a big LAN and keep winning and if they have pro's there, you might get noticed.

Like right now Fnatic is hosting a tournament for people to play under them, easiest way to become pro.

I just had a look at the QuakeLive site and the counter on the site will expire @ 12:00am tonight but on the quakelive twitter page someone posted that the open beta will start in about 4h from the time posted (33 minutes ago) so around 7:00pm EST.

I'm confused.....

Quakelive is going to "public" beta at that time ,hence why the site is offline currently while they prepare it for going live.
but as mentioned the times are rather confusing,so ill leave it and check tommorrow to see if its up and running.

So, hypothetically speaking.. I have no clue what this is all about really...

What I understand is that whenever this opens up all we have to do is open quakelive.com and we will be able to login and play the game?

No downloads, no clients.. just web based quake awesomeness?

And if the game is free why do they have a beta? Wouldnt it just be v1.0 ?
