Guess who it is!
First person with the correct answer gets a cookie!

Reference Pic.
Don't touch that reference pic if you're guessing! :p

Oh, and BTW I don't have any photos of me on the internet, so anyone wanting to draw me - sorry!

Yahtzee has been working his hands off at AGS and has produced a demo of his next game!
http://www.fullyramblomatic.com
It is on the home page.

What do you think of it?
IMO it is great idea and any game of Yahtzee's is worth a try.

Do whatever Barbarian said becuase he knows what he is talking about obviously. I had a problem similar to yours, actually pretty much exactly the same. (except I wasn't game to go on the internet) I just salvaged what was most important to me (My Documents, AGS stuff) and burnt it onto a CD. Then I formatted my hard drive and started from scratch.
If you can get rid of the spyware that's great but use what I said as a last resort.

I personally used Spybot: Search and Destroy, HijackThis, AdAware, AVG Antivirus, and some other spyware tools, but it still couldn't get rid of it all. So get rid of what you can and go from there.

Good luck.

What I saw was

Oh, bring us a frickin shotglass;
Oh, bring us a frickin shotglass;
Oh, bring us a frickin shotglass and a mug of good beer
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some;
We won't go until we get some, so bring some out here

Just make sure you read my sig!

That is probably the funniest thing I've seen all month! Poor, poor, Indiana Jones...
Absolutely hilarious stuff, thanks for showing me!

Changed my name and trying again...

I go to "internet" then click "specify" and then type in "207.44.202.82" then press "fight" and then it brings up the "Connecting to 207.44.202.82" screen and there's text that says: "Awaiting Challenge...1" and the number slowly goes up. It doesn't seem to drop me or anything but it just stays there.

EDIT: Oh, and just in case you're wondering, my copy of Quake 3 Arena is perfectly legit.

First of all, oh sure your copy is legit nah I believe you.
I can't see why it would not let you connect unless it has something to do with where you live, and we can't help that. I have an idea that might help us see what the problem is. How about you find a server you can connect to, then I will see if I can connect to it too. We can then see if it has something to do with your end or with the server's end. Or something.
Thanks.

  That is weird. Can you try again now and I'll see if there is any signs of you actually connecting then dropping out. Then can you describe what you see on your screen. Also in setup player change your name to Geoffkhan or something that I will recognise as being you.
Thanks.

It works for me. Have you tried waiting to see if it frees up?

It should say something like: Showing x out of 1500 servers. or something like that and x keeps getting higher as more servers show on the list. I will look for another server now that we can connect though the ip with, because I find it easier to connect directly rather than manually searching through a list populated by about 1500 servers.

EDIT:
The server is:
OPC|Q3*FFA
207.44.202.82

It has Punkbuster Enabled so ensure that you do too. Try the ip address first, if that fails try looking for it. I'm in there now, bye.

EDIT2: How is this for a time again?

10:00am Saturday 24 December GMT.
To convert your time and find out how long it will be go here.
Get ready to frag!

I'll see you there!

You will probably have to look for it in the multiplayer menu as sportyjay has said. I won't be there for a while as I'm going for a drive with my family. I will probably be there when I get back though. Until then, bye.

Ok, I have sorted out some problems with Geoffkhan and after interrogating him I realised that we all don't have the same version. Well duh mozza. So I have updated my version to the latest and I strongly recommend you update yours here. It is the id website.

Now with that version you should find that there will be a lot of servers so try just going specify and entering the ip address first but if that doesn't work try waiting until the name pops up.

The server is called "MODESTOLAN.COM QUAKE" and the ip is 66.52.66.40.
The server is open now and is not private it is just one I picked. It is just normal deathmatch and I'll be there.

There is a Q3A server which is free now but anyone could join it at anytime. It is called Ravens Downunder and the IP address is 210.49.198.215
If you want to join now go ahead because I will be there. Max of 6 players. It is the server I am almost always at when I'm online.

Hey, let's build hype for "The Town on the Edge of Darkness" while we're at it...

I'm all for that.

BTW I have one of the KQ games but could never get it to work on XP

My pc isn't showing up with names of servers which is common, just a Quake bug. Can one of you connect to a server and give me the ip of it. The ip shows at the start of connection. Sorry about this.

EDIT: It is getting too late and I'm getting tired. I won't be participating tonight if anything happens. I'l try and work it out for another day.
Sorry.

The stupid server is down. Try 68.98.75.241 it is a CTF but it is something. See you there.

I'm really, really sorry, couldn't get the server to run. I found a server that was virtually free. Go to multiplayer and make sure it is on internet. Then click specify in there type 202.210.241.31 in the ip box. See you there? Please post before going on there so I know if there will be anyone in there.
Thanks.

I can get a private server up and running in a few hours. It will be called AGS Server. Server should be up at 10:00am Wednesday 21 December GMT.
To convert your time and find out how long it will be go here.

Be there if you can and I will try to be there.
I will try to find out the IP as soon as possible.

If there are any problems I will post here but if the server is not up at that time you can assume it won't be ready until I say so in here.
Thanks.

Get ready to frag!

I have been looking around and will post the IP address of an empty server. Or if anyone can set up a server themselves would also be good.

Nikolas: Sad, sad story. Oh well. Hopefully this will continue and become a regular occurence. We might even be able to run our own server for as long as we want!

I don't think I can organise other games because I don't have them all. Or haven't even heard of them.
Also, if your name has a "(?)" beside it, eg:

Flukeblake (?)

please either PM me or edit your last post saying that you are interested by saying something like: "I am interested." or something I can easily interpret.
Thanks.

EDIT: It is probably just easier if you PM me.

Definately Gordon Freeman. Pretty much anyone from Half-Life or Half-Life 2. Except not Mossman, she's a bit weird  :

From adventure games, I like Trilby (5 DAS), Tork (sp?) (Calsoon), and Rob Blanc.
