Call me a geek or what have you, but I like the Quake II logo (don't play computer games anymore, did when I was younger however...), so out of this strange spalt (I think) of wood, I made this:

Might stain it a dull aqua green soon like the logo is on the CD :lol:

Greatest game ever.
I was once going to cut out the Quake 3 shape into my computer case waaaaaaaaay back when the PC modding scene started.

Cool

Well good! Haha.
Cool thing about Quake II + Both the add on packs - I utterly LOVE the music on them so - put any of these in your CD player, skip track one, and hey presto!

Still playing Quake 3 here :) Quake 2 was where it was at though, and i have to agree that it had the coolest logo! The Half-Life logo is really up there too, both are nice and simple :)

I really like Quake Live, I need to play it more.
Just wooped my brothers ass at Quake 2... good game, good game.

$%&#in awesome!
I loved Quake 2, used to play online a lot my alias was ukwan.
Played for [WDB], ^V^, [3] and [CoG] over the years in 4v4 TDM.
Won the Savage Cup with WDB and got them into the 3rd division of UKCCL back in the day when [CS] reigned supreme, although I never rated [CS]... Acura, CoG and FED would of slapped em silly given the chance to climb the leagues.
Once beat exor in a duel too and if u knew the final score, that was no mean feat haha!
*drifts off back into his lost youth of online gaming*

Thats pretty cool!
Not what I would of done, I'm not enough of a game geek, but it looks well done :)

Nah, i'm using ioquake3 (on the mac), nothing serious, just DMs on the large maps with a collection of bots, i'll check that out though, cheers.

Beautiful piece of wood...it would have done a nice body cap for a custom guitar too :lol:
-
That's pretty cool. +1 Kudos to you.
-
:lol: thanks all. Got some stain for it yesterday to make it dark-aquaish colour like the actual logo.
I did used to live on this game, really liked lots about it, the arcitecture (spelt wrong probably) being one odd thing I liked :lol: if my band thing ever goes to plan and I have lots of money s'guna be a strange house I have made :lol:
The wood's quite strange, got some more lumps of it but using that to make the world's dodgiest book shelf :lol: there is more of it I'm able to aquire - s'only from the local countryside/woods haha.
-
I really wouldnt make any load bearing structures from spalt.
It WILL break.
-
:lol: We shall see, too late now, haha, literally just have to glue it together and stained the Quake thing earlier and it's taken away all the spalted line things :( bit of a bummer.

You could sand it back.
I cant recall seeing a spalt with a stain on it. Maybe it doesnt work?
-
Me neither and thus I recon you're probably right :( could indeed, might do so.
-
sand it back and you will probably find a nice amount of colour residing in the spalt
spalt gets a bit spongy so it probably soaked it all up. i am surpirsed by the complete coverage though, what did you do it with?
having said that, every piece of spalt is different. i would do a bookcase from something like spalted beech at an early stage of its spalt but not from maple at the point where its nearly completely rotted away - take each piece as it comes
-
Nice Thomann box there too ;)
-
It's just some stain I got from B&Q but it'll be nice if the - 'sand it for the grain and it'll have still hopefully have soaked in' thing works out :) Shall try later... Might need to put another coat on first where some bits are a bit dull/cr@ply painted :lol:
Nice Thomann box there too ;)
Nice observation :lol:
-
sweet :D I think i had a demo of quake II which came free with a computer magazine, i seem to remember running around with a nailgun thinking i was badass... :lol:
-
:lol: this shows how bad I was on it but Nailgun must = Quake I not II, ha.
