Nah, I primarily went to show my friend that I wasn't just BS'ing about how 6-7 years ago on TEN (an online gaming network) I had a 600 win streak in one on one games before I finally hung it up (in doom, doom 2, and duke 3d) and went to play quake 1 on the internet. I played some of the original UT after that but basically stopped playing games. I actually had never played quake 3 against real players (only bots as practice 2 days before) prior to that day.
Funny thing is the only people to beat me there was a kid who scored some quick frags (5 w/ quad) but then RAN from me the rest of the level.. final score on that was 5 to 4... I had him and he just kept running until the timer ran out :-/
The second was actually my friend from work. He's one of the best I've ever played and it was a helluva match. Unfortunately his skills were far more honed & he knew the levels alot better so he beat me 3-1 (I actually had -2 and came back to 1 so had I not fallen in the lava 2x it would have been tied
).. but that's ok, I'll get better and beat him next time (like I always do
)..
