I haven’t played this since the time I ended a friendship over the phone while fragging.
It had nothing to do with the game, but I’m pretty sure that was the last time I ever logged into it.
Fucker literally offered me 20 bucks to convince my sister (who he had never really met outside of maybe seeing her at school) to go on a date with him.
Anyway, I fucking instantly and wordlessly hung up. I asked him to repeat it to make sure I hadn’t heard him wrong or to see if he was kidding, and he doubled down on it. Hung up and never talked to him again. I knew him from high school and given when Quake Live started, (and how early I tried it) it was several years after I would’ve graduated college (if I ever finished it).
I hadn’t even talked to him for a while, it was kind of a “hey how you been” kinda call/conversation until he brought that up. Never heard from him again. Heard a small mention of him from a mutual friend that he felt bad about it but I don’t care. I wouldn’t have cared if he offed himself about it, I am still just as pissed today, and if I ever have to interact with him again I will let him know exactly who I am and what I remember about him.
But given that I barely played any Quake games, this story is what I think about when QL gets brought up.

I hope he’s still depressed somewhere.
