Posted about World of Padman before, but felt like posting about it again, this time with a video of gameplay.

If you like lighthearted games and arena shooters, it's well worth giving a look. Also I love the attention to detail on the first map in this video, putting jump pads on the mouse traps is so good.

World of Padman is a delightful freeware arena shooter with an impressive amount of work put into it! It's meant more for multiplayer, but the bots are pretty fun to play against too!

Such a goofy fun game, definitely suggest giving it a try!

World of Padman – A Freeware Fun Shooter!

Not me, "solving" my OpenArena problem by downloading several different builds of multiple Quake 3 sourceports, trying to get some combination of them and mods that run the way that I want. Latest is downloading the development nightly build of the Omega modification custom engine, which is in itself based off Quake3e, which solved my problem of it not running singleplayer games in regular Quake3e for OA, and of the previous stable build of Omega having broken sound codecs and doing a super loud buzzing in the menus.

thankfully all of them run multiplayer normally, no matter the mod. which is good, because I prefer playing Ratmod. Genuinely my favorite mode of playing Q3 now.

Decided to "fix" my Quake 3/OpenArena problem with the console screwing itself up. Instead of using ioQuake3 sourceport I just decided to stick solely to Quake3e instead. It doesn't suffer from the same bug and honestly just works and looks better, like having widescreen support standard.

Been playing a lot of Quake3/OpenArena this weekend. Well, that and other arena shooters, bouncing between them depending on mood and availability of multiplayer servers. Surprisingly, OA does have a lot of activity and I can usually find at least one server with people. Even if it's mostly the same 10-20 players, there's always someone on, and they're actually pretty welcoming. In fact, this showed me I am not actually that bad at arena shooters, I can sometimes even be top 3 in the server (but not win, those guys are really good)

I really want to play more UT2k4 but I seriously cannot get much play online of unmodded deathmatch servers. It's mostly the big modes with vehicles or freeze tag arena. UT'99 always has more people playing.
Also I gotta figure out a set of keybinds to switch weapons rapidly, now that I got used to the Quake setup of Q/E/R for rocket/lightning/rail I need something similar on other arena shooters.

Oh yeah, Xonotic is actually really fun when played with actual players too. It gets stupidly fast. But it often has less players than the other ones I mentioned.

I finally found an open Quake 3 Arena lobby to play with actual people that didn't 100% destroy me
the catch: after installing literally all versions of Quake that I could think of.... it was on OpenArena at 3AM
the opensource clone that hasn't seen an update since 2015

anyway that was really fun and now I want to be able to do again. Now time to go watch the F1 Japanese GP Qualy, which is the whole reason I stayed up this late tonight!

Aha, I also have acquired (thanks to a certain Steam guide) a massive (500+) pack of deathmatch maps and bots that work with them for Quake! Now I can practice my rocket jumping and not-falling-into-lava skills at anytime!
