My contribution to woodwork
« on: May 20, 2009, 10:58:17 AM »
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.

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 :)

$%&#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!

 :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.

 :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.
