Right or wrong, I consider the sentimental sappiness of scar3crow and Sajt to be the heart of the Quake modding community along with the expected witty FrikaC humor and LordHavoc going into details of his genious way of thinking.
The short version of this poorly worded post is that I am curious if any of the forementioned are going to do or say anything during Quake Expo.
As Func_Msgboard has its various mapping heroes of yore, and even though I do not consider myself part of the "in crowd" of Quake modding [because ... well ... I'm not and kinda do my own thing really ...], I am just wondering whether or not any of the forementioned people who really have carried the flag all these years have something they are doing or saying during Quake Expo this year.
In fact, consider this more of a rhetorical question and a hope rather than something to respond to. In many ways on the engine side, things feel warm and toasty with living legends like MH and Spike still actively sharing their wealth of wisdom. And in the mapping community, you have the likes of Necros and Tronyn (and even Metlslime) releasing maps giving a sense of continuity.
I'm not going to claim this post is very well focused. I just in my heart would consider a Quake Expo without the above (plus probably Error, CocoT and Entar) to feel slightly lacking of the grand wizards we've all come to love over the years.
/End sappy but true post. To some extent, there is a craving for the presence of the old school championship football squad making a cameo.
