Devil grin Rock vs Techno: Redux - aka "You're only oldsk00l when..."

There are a multitude of measures around the old NZ Quake community to measure the extent of your “Old Skool” factor:

Strip.Net
gen.gen
Goose and the nascent Paradise-to-be
5am clan matches
and, Abaddon's Quake News.

These are just a few.

If these measures are familiar to you then you'll remember this old chestnut... what music is better?

Rock or Techno...

Well, it's been brushed off. The flags have been placed and the fight is back Rock was the winner on the day, but Techno was never completely annihilated as it should have been.

The arena: UT2K4

The Protagonists: Team Rock vs Team Techno.

Where: Your PC for now, but coming to a server near you!

Valhallen, of the loudest scream, has been working on a tribute to the old days and the old players, and now it is finished. If you remember the fun of the old skool days and have UT2K4, then download this baby and have a laugh, a cry, or a scream and gets to fraggin' once again.

There are cookies all throughout this map. Check it, and have some fun again.

For someone so firmly in the "rock" camp, you did a pretty sweet job on the techno sections val

I think we've got a closet raver on our hands here

Hey hey HEY NOW Mr Code ....

That's going just a little far!

I had good advice on that, in fact I had my very own Techno Advisor Chicky who helped me, because basically I had NO IDEA what a rave looked like, left up to me it would have been all smoke and no textures, with more pills.

Val(erie)Hallen has produced some backgrounds from his Clan Crypt of his pretty fucking awesome Rock v. Techno UT2k4 map.

Go here:

http://sv4.3dbuzz.com/clanUED/blogs/index.php?blog=17

also, there's a small movie in the works for those who want a taste of the map without having to download the full thing... but then after seeing the movie you'll download it anyways...

I finally made time to have a look at this yesterday and it's an awesome map - well done Val and crew

I started to panic when I couldn't find an Eddie window, so I was somewhat relieved to stumble across it......

A lot of time was spent on the window decisions... but Eddie was never, I repeat, never out of the equation.

Don't listen to him. he's still pissed I never included Phil Lynott

But he is right, Eddie was NEVER out of the question .. he did start out as Aces High Eddie tho ...

[edit]and RvT is famous in Germany (yah yah, play ze fucking music) - got word today that one of the biggest gaming magazines over there is gong to feature it

Aww, you guys are great - I can't think of a better Eddie to have on that window, so you've done good I should point out that when I said "panic", what I really meant was "start preparing a murderous rampage". Thankfully, I was able calm down again.

Now I need to check out the rest of the UED maps....

The indominable Rusty .. ex-flatmate and all round Whooshy Guy, just sent me an email ...

How is this relevant you ask?

Well in it were the results of a Google Search on RvT ...

Them crazy Germans love this shit.

Roughly 2500 Downloads in just over 2 weeks ...

Can someone tell me if it got played at the Hub just gone? And if it did, how'd it go? Did the Rockers Pwn?

And yes, Trooper Eddie is totally Mabd's credit .. as I said, he was originally Aces Eddie.

Should have put Styx in really ... Domo
