Hello and welcome fellow gamers and gamerettes. Michael "mickzerofive" Jenkins here from Aus/NZ Quake Live community 4Seasons Gaming.
Final week to get your videos in for the Logitech Play of the Year competition. We've already had an abundance of quality frags and plays and if you would like to have your chance to win you're running out of time. Good luck to those who have entered, the final 10 will be released early October with the 3 winners selected shortly after
Entries Open: September the 1st. Entries Close: September the 30th.
What to include
* Your Gamer Nickname/Alias
* Your Country of birth and/or residencey
* Your bad ass Play Optional: First/Last name
Important things to remember
* "Play" does not just mean Frag, my Panel range from experience in all game types and ofcourse all situations, cluthes, team downs, flag caps so give us something special to watch
* No Frag Reels/Movies/Production pieces, let's keep things real and short guys/girls one play per video
* You don't have to include fancy slow mo or different angles, but you can
* You don't have to include dramatic or interesting sound tracks, but you can (just remember to credit original artists or youtube might remove your video)
* Keep your video under 5 minutes
Gaming Panel Voting Commences: October ** note: there will no longer be public voting due to smart cookies attacking polls easily. Instead the Gaming Panel will pick the final 10 and then pick 3 from that**
thats actually an oldschool trick that have been abused a lot through the years I think I have around 10 frags exactly like that during tournament play :o) its very effective
favourite plays i used do in q3 were something like if you where on ztn gren platform and you could hear one strafe to the left from mh tunnel and you knew they wanted ya or didn't need lg or similar, you'd rj up through the tele platform and belt into the pg room lg blaring and the enemy would be just getting to the archway at the top of the stairs from lg. in the right circumstances the other player would like dubbhya-tee-hatech - uno frag to moi.
and other numerous ones when damaged players are after getting health bubbles. the better ones were you have to wait slightly longer.
basically when you completely out witted someone. would have to be a tightish game to be satisfying though.
i also enjoyed dm6 b2r or opposite rail kills/hits from shards - but they're bread and butter
oh and pg kills against stacked opposition due to positioning - awesome. not sure if its possible in ql. decent chezch players used to always get me coming from mh to ra on dm6
DON'T MEAN TO BE NEGATIVE AND I LOVE THE THINGS YOU DO <3
...but "open to multiple/any games" (like Fat's etc) usually seem to turn out with some insanely random play and game winning :( surely the "panel" will be a good thing though especially since they're publicly announced and shown to be... well, gamers i guess (don't recognize half of them but that's not neccessarily their fault :x)
all of them come from a very vast and experienced game collective. A few are community owners, one multi-game shoutcaster ceo, tournament organisers and newsers

I hope it doesn't count against me coz all my quake videos are muted. Reason - I don't have a sound card and Fraps + Realtek HD onboard audio is just fail.
Also, my COD4 vids have a crosshair in them because they've been recorded using COD4player (which is a demo playback software) and fraps. The sad part is, COD4player introduces a crosshair of its own, making the unscoped sniper vids just lose their meaning.
I was confused there a bit. I don't play this game so i was like...
'So there are 2 planes? and 1 guy sniping at 1 of the plane, but the guy in the first plane does a loop the plane following him gets shot by some random guy?'
But then i was studying that shit and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.
ROFL what a fucking MOVE.
He jumps out of his plane while its doing a fucking loop, then shoots a rocket into the plane following him, and falls straight down into his plane after it finishes the loop?
