ENGLe570 here, the first time I played Quake III was back in 2000-ish. Back in the day, we weren't able to play it online but usually, go to internet cafes and play it via a network. Years later, I wanted to have this sense of nostalgia and bought QIII via Steam, then I discovered this forum and have been playing with the community edition (excellent stuff!).
I believe I have been playing in team deathmatches for 4-5 months easy, I'm a noob but I have improved a lot. Still remember asking back my teammates what unfreeze was!

Thanks for accepting my silly jokes during the games, love you all, you crazy people!
