Read
your comments on deerhunter. I would agree with your comment
on how the game tends to run slowly on even the biggest
P.C. out there. The trick to the game is that you really
have to think like a deer hunter. For the first few days,
I too seemed to wonder about for hours without seeing anything.Then
you start learning the "accessories" (tools of
the hunt) and start baggin the bucks. I do have a question
for you. We are searching for a game that is somewhat of
a kickoff of the deerhunter. In this game, the deer shoot
back. Have you heard of this game and it's title. If so,
please drop me a quick line. Thanks.
I
think the game youre talking about is called Natural
Fawn Killers and the demo came out a couple of months
ago. All joking aside, it actually is kind of fun, if youre
not easily offended and you like tasteless humor. In this,
you play the deer, and shoot the hunters. Check it out at

. Deer Hunter itself is rather boring. At least this
one has a fun twist to it.

Dear
Bobbi,
One big thing
I noticed you might not be aware of is The CLQ, (Champions
League for Quake).
http://www.theclq.com
No more logging
into a server and not worrying about being ranked. If the
server you're playing on is sending a heartbeat, then chances
are you are being logged, recorded, and sent to CLQ HQ to
be added their simply gigantic database. Just take a look
around and you will see how the days of anon gaming are
over 8( Here are some links to your records. Remember these
are for anyone using the same name you might use so the
records might be flawed.

I know the
CLQ well, and left it out of the article for a pretty good
reason...I believe using the CLQ as an accurate depiction
of ranking players is a huge mistake. Just take my record
as an example (which you so kindly provided links for).
Now, as Bobbi it lists me playing TFC and Quake
III, which I do, but also Lithium, Jailbreak, and Action
Quake II, which I have never played. So theres
another Bobbi out there, so thats not accurate. Then
look at PMS-Bobbi. According to that, the last time I played
Quake III was in July. I play Quake III, if not
nightly, then pretty damn near it. The reason Im not
showing up on the CLQs rankings is because I probably
dont play on servers they track.
In other words...the
only people with really good rankings in the CLQ are those
who make sure they always play on CLQ servers. While the
CLQ is a great idea, in practice, it just doesnt work,
there are just too many servers out there for it to track
them all.
