From what I've heard, the government should be reining back on demolishing the hutongs. Probably realised they'll be a big draw with all the tourists who'll be coming here for the Olympics in 2008.

I should get some photos of them before I'm transferred from Beijing. They're the one thing I don't have any pictures of.

Did you get out to Xinjiang while you were here?


Well, that's good news at least. Haven't been to Xinjiang. Spent some time in Beijing, around Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and a few other places. It's been a few years since I've been there so can't remember all the places exactly. I *do* want to go see the Huangshan mountains sometime... they are some of the most stunning mountains in the world.

A loooong moving train, with so-so details outside so you could actually enjoy it. :) The tracks should go in a loop or something, so your map wouldn't have to be ridicously long. There could be a bridge and a tunnel, oh and fighting on the rooftops. You would have to dodge when going under the tunnel or you would get squished. Also to encourage staying on the train if you get off you get gibbed. :D

Someone should make it, maybe use the TA terrain capabilities (but it should be a Q3 map anyway, so it would get some playtime hopefully). :p

Levellord did a map that looked like a naked chick.. you could see boobs and ass in the architecture.. it was hillarious. Not realistic - and certainly not set 'inside' a person, but I thought id go ahead and mention it anyway :) I guess that could also count as a comedy map tho :D


lol... yeah... this was the one with the plasma ejaculation, right? :icon19:


Sounds interesting... link? :paranoid:

I think it was Pete Parisi who did something like this, although more abstract. Was it the "Meat" series? Kind of rings a bell.

A possible alternative might be something like the Underground where you can move from one station to another either by train or on foot (below or above ground) so that you'd have a circuit. A straight out train map wouldn't really offer much gameplay.

Holy CRAP!!! I totally forgot about that space map in "Scourge of Armagon"!!!!! That really WAS the first space DM map ever made. When Quake 3 came out I had totally forgotten about that map. It's amazing how even though I had spent probably hours playing that map, the memories were lost until right now when I looked at the screenshots. Man, that was a while ago... I'm getting old.

Kat did a cave map a while back, and i'm pretty sure i've seen others; inside the computer's been done at least 3 times.
