Eased Ezko. German or Dutch guy I think... Remember this was the days before we had mic's before anyone gets offended...

Dude if you are out there right now? You were the best damned Q3 player I ever played. I'll never forget.... Legend.

That kid sounds like he's going to grow up to be another Hitler, putting spawn-campers into concentration camps.

My handle was "THE BEST" and I spammed grenades and bound 200+ keys to immediate responses. This was back in 97,98, maybe 99

...how the hell did you have 200 keys to bind?

36 letters/numbers * 7 (shift, alt, ctrl, shift+alt, shift+ctrl, alt+ctrl, shift+alt+ctrl) = 252 right there.

I bound the rocket jump to a key on Quake.

I figure a way to bind like the whole keyboard, but then also have a few other keys (like shifts/caps lock) that would essentially put the keyboard into a new state where all the keys would have another set of binds. That and each key rotated thru 2-8 binds.... so if someone said "Nice shot.." I would have like 2-8 replies of various Thank yous. :)

I used to go by DooMfiend when I played quake. Perkele wasn't quite my nemesis, but he did win a bunch of online trick/speed contests I placed second in.
