I posted this up a while ago when we first made it, but a lot of people I am showing that visit ESR are like omg never saw it etc.

Just a small video if you are keen to get your friends interested in quake, of course it does promote the community made it but the emphasis behind the video is pretty clear.

Everything matters!

Obviously we couldn't run through every little thing that happens in quake but i'd say we picked the best ones :)

Video: Everything Matters
Community: 4Seasons Gaming

feedback is more then welcome, we may look at getting another one made at the end of the year!

p.s. no it's not supposed to be a frag vid, more of an inspirational hey guys lets play quake :)

In Mid June 2009, 4Seasons Gaming was founded by an aspiring gamer by the name of Michael, aka Mickzerofive. Longing to build a place that would be considered the hub of the Australian Quake Live scene, Mickzerofive saw an opportunity and went for it.

The first month of 4Seasons Gaming.com registered only two hundred and fifty unique visitors, with approximately eighty registered users. Disheartened but still strong willed, 4Seasons Gaming continued running Quake Live competitions and tournaments down in Australia, and like the saying goes; 'Build it and they will come'.

Sixteen duelers soon became thirty-two, which then became sixty-four and is now one hundred and twenty. Four teams became eight, then twelve, and the roster is constantly growing. The one-man organization soon became a fifteen-man team of dedicated collaborators. The community that was first created to please our Australian participants soon became a viewing portal for international players and spectators and, in January 2010, 4Seasons Gaming will register in excess of four thousand unique visitors from all around the globe.

It is through this and future videos that 4Seasons Gaming will revolutionize the way the world sees Quake Live. Get the message out that Quake Live is no longer just a place for those who are most skilled or most experienced, but a place for players of all skill levels that love all game modes.

For it is with this small act of compassion that we will inspire others to contribute to this community, and those that we inspire will motivate others in turn. Eventually, through this process we will take Quake Live to places never thought possible. When you bear witness to the end result, after seeing all the cogs in motion, you will realize that you have been a part of something great.

We thank all our followers, both Australian and International. We support all communities that support Quake around the globe. If you're thinking about doing something for the game, just do it!

Enjoy the video!

rapha: "always believed I'd get there" (139 comments)
Posted by Thorin @ 07:52 CDT, 19 March 2010 - iMsg
IEM IV World Champion United States of America Shane "rapha" Hendrixson is featured in the first of a three part video interview in the SK Gaming 1on1 series. QuakeLive's #1 player talks about his rise from an unproven up and comer to the top of the competitive scene in around a year and a half.

How did the experience of losing amongst other things at his first event, ESWC Masters Paris, help him? What part has practice with United States of America ZeRo4 and Poland av3k played in rapha's progression as a player? Asked to pick three maps for a tournament which one current rotation map does he select and which two from Quake 3's past?

The interview can be watched on SK Gaming.

NDML9: Invitational (19 comments)
Posted by CAREEM @ 22:19 CDT, 17 March 2010 - iMsg
There was no official game some time in Q2 Quake2. Why's that? Oh, right, the last NDML season was canceled after only 8 teams signed up... Q2scene spent a year (sobbing and) waiting for the NDML9 to come. And here it is! A few days ago, Belgium Gravgon announced he is looking for active teams to compete in a new season of the league! The number of teams, which was not enough for the league to be run last year (8), was said to be enough this year. But as it turns out, it's not that easy to gather 8 nations to play.

This spawned a discussion what to do so the league starts and, as Gravgon put it, doesn't feel "forced" with half-active teams and imaginary countries. That's when the NDML9: Invitational idea emerges, but that leaves a bunch of questions: who to invite, on what conditions, what would be the league layout, considering the small number of teams. How would you like the league to look like? How do you see it? Post your ideas!
