It's a strange situation, mapping for a game that is almost 20 years old because at this point, it's really just the hardcore players playing right? So, it makes sense that mappers would make maps for the hardcore crowd. However, I did attempt to record myself playing RJ Zone and it did not go well...
I watched Daz play Masque of the Red Death by Tronyn on his channel recently (a map Tronyn requested above) and I was like...whew, maybe next year! Looks tough!
Wanted to also note that you can now reach the channel now by going to gamegrave.tv and here's a direct link to the Quake Grave playlist.

Daz's channel is great, I love his videos! I'm trying to approach it from a different angle though, just having some fun. =)
]]>If you are just getting back into Quake but want to play something that will provide an epic view, I'd suggest CZG07 "Insomnia," Kinn's "The Marcher Fortress," Necros "Dawn of Eternity" or my own "The Masque of the Red Death."
]]>I am getting back into playing Quake (I used to play a ton of TF back in the day! ;) and I've been wanting to do a video game channel on youtube for a while. So, I decided to dedicate some videos to me playing custom quake maps. I'm not very good at the game, or at setting up the game really but I am recording myself trying to play these levels through. Some I make it, others...well, let's just say it doesn't go too well. It's called Lame at the Game, or for quake Lame at the Quake.
I wanted to ask everyone here what they thought would be some good maps to video myself playing? I know that a lot of the newer maps are pretty hardcore and long (I tried RJ Zone last night, and I still haven't gotten through it!) and they might make good video by punishing me but I can't really upload several hour long videos! HA!
You can check out my channel here: http://www.youtube.com/lameatthegame watch a couple examples and tell me what you think would work. Thanks a bunch guys and I'm super pumped to be playing Quake again! Yea!
