In summnation I'd find it slightly less embarrassing to be known to drive an XR2/3/4/6/8 than to be known as the Overlord of the UK Quake World Custom Map League! |

Did find quite a few other Overlord.UK's though, one seems to be a big XBox fan (I draw the line at that). |
My Xbox is a great DVD player...

1. Lordy's real name is Phil Web. Incorrect. It's "Webb" actually. HTH 2. Lordy used to be a serious computer geek more into computer games than cars. Incorrect. No, hang on - that's quite possibly true actually. 4. Lordy was Chief Admin of the UK Quake World Custom Map League Oh no, you've outed me, I feel so dirty. It's a good job there isn't a wiki page or anything out there on the internet giving full details. Oh, there is ? Bugger. http://wiki.qwdrama.com/UKCML 5. Lordy once hosted website http://www.overlord-uk.com/ sadly now defunct :-( Very sad indeed, from my perspective. The great age of Quakeworld died as the internet took off and started to become flooded with morons ('lo Ken). I am a habitual hoarder though and still have a copy of it, along with demos of every QW game every played in the Thrash. You've got me reminiscing now, I may go and watch some later. ...embarrassing to be known to known as the Overlord of the UK Quake World Custom Map League! Actually I'm quite proud of the fact that, as a young man discovering the internet, I organised and ran a nationwide competition with members not only from across this country, but from across the globe (bloody foreigners don't appear to understand the meaning of the word "national". It was an achievement large enough to get noticed and supported by three internet providers, put it that way (bearing in mind that this was 1999 and ISPs were not 10 a penny back then). Coupled with the fact that between us we travelled around the country together hosting many LANs at each other's houses. As far as online buddies go, we were a tight knit bunch. But, assuming you are actually the real Ken, you wouldn't really know about friends. Ah well, you know what they say - "few more years under the belt and it will become clear". -- Lordy.UK |
Must have been fucking frustrating at times playing over the net in those
dark 56k modem days :-)
More a Duke Nukem / Dungeon Keeper fan at the time myself..

No not really, the games were written for such slow connection speeds.

Best thing is, you can "acquire" the games for free!

Sorry I didn't finish it. Actually I can re-phrase it.
I buy my favourite software, I rent games I'm unsure, and if I ever try a
pirate copy it's on somebody elses' hardware... :-)

That deserves a well exercised "heh" you know.
Sell the Subaru, buy a B5 Passat with Alfa Romeo running gear and a Primera
badge, nothing could be quicker.
