I interviewed American McGee about Quake

Spirit — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 15:30:17 +0000

because I had so many questions about Quake and he seemed like a good victim for my over-zealous enthusiasm. Oh and also this year is Quake’s 15th anniversary, today in 1996 the shareware was released. I did not play Quake until ~2000/2001, lame isn’t it? Anyways, here you go: American McGee on Quake. Enjoy!

An interview with mexx

Spirit — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 21:48:34 +0000

Last year Marcus “mexx” Dromowicz popped up in the quakeone.com forums, setting some things straight about Abyss of Pandemonium. I could not let the opportunity slip and asked if I could interview him. He accepted but I did not notice the reply for a week, then I forgot, then I remembered and forgot again. Finally some time ago I sent him questions and we chatted a bit. So, without further ado, dive into my interview with a Quake legend: mexx.

Last chance for Coop & more Interviews

Spirit — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 10:39:41 +0000

The coop server will be gone in about 3 days, so if you want to play some, be quick.
I posted more interviews, check in the QExpo Booth which ones are new (lazy? me?).

And the rmx pack has finally been released (QExpo Booth), I’ll (probably) make a news post somewhen later (told you I wasn’t lazy). It includes a fantastic, well balanced, nicely textured, incredibly detailed map with magnificient brushwork by yours truly… *cough*

Maps! Updates! Interviews!

QExpo 2008: Interview batch #1 – DaMaul, gibbie, Jago

Spirit — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 09:04:05 +0000

QExpo 2008 has started and I released the 3 of about 20 interviews with old and new Quake mappers: DaMaul, gibbie, Jago.

If YOU are/were a Quake mapper too but did not receive a notice from me about this, then a) a spam filter ate it (gmail surely did), b) I did not have your (proper) email address or c) I inexcusably forgot about you. Don’t be shy, contact me. :)

Interview with Kell

Spirit — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 10:41:16 +0000

I interviewed mapper extraordinaire Kell: Interview with Kell.
No new descriptions this time, sorry (you can always submit some ;) ).
