Nabbe interview @ qw.ru
Quakeworld.ru with another interview featuring the oldschool Swedish player Nabbe. The interview is originally in English, but Centipede has translated it into russian and is available in it's original format on quakeworld.ru as soon as the admins wake up
Questions done by xpr blaze and Centipede, answers by Nabbe!
1. Tell us a bit about yourself, your interests, future plans, what you like doing in your spare time besides playing QW.

-I often use the name Ozcar biceps when im out meeting ppl and stuff (ppl are afraid of that name..dont know why), but my off name is marcus L and i dont play qw , i just abuse it. my future plans is to get a volvo(using custom saab atm),dog and some manbabies with my girlfriend, it klicked between us when i did deepthroat. I play in a band bec im so famous and soon we are going for tour around the corner. And i love the smell , when you been on lan and going home and you just wait like one week to take a shower ..thats skill.


2. When did you start playing Q1/QW and what made you get hooked on it? There were a lot of other games.

- I really dont know which year it was but we did play blood alot, and one day a friend did come to a lan and said i take all of you in quake easily , so we started to play quake instead. It was far more faster and fun than blood and i cant really say there was alot of another multiplayer games similar to quake back then.

3. There are a lot of people who consider you to be one of the most intelligent players. In which aspects, in your opinion, does you way of playing differ from the others'? What do you pay special attention to while playing?

My tactics depends mostly on hearing sounds and youre not facing a computer. You gotta be a step further than your opponent, and know what he might do before youre gonna face him.

4. What, according to your broad experience, could you characterize as the main components of teamplay?

Its all about spamming in the right moments and have a solid team that knows their shit , and dont need lessons in tactics. i did whine often before when i did see my mates do some crazy fkd up retard stuff , you gotta be stupid if you dont know how to play after 30 years of playing, but now im retired and the new whinechief is da XAntoM. Whine=you are best and your mates dont know a shit.


5. How many clans have you participated in? Who exerted the greatest
influence on you?


Cant remember in which clans ive been in , but my first online clan was the finnish fallout clan , and the clan that had most influence on me is the clan Lege Artis in the early beginning with me akke pietro and dag.

6. Estimate the current situation in the QW-community. Such projects as Qwdrama, Wiki, Goldrush, Fotw, have given the community the second wind. What in your opinion do we need to improve to attract more players?

don't have any opinion about these projects more than the ppls behind these are great and it does a lot to the community.

7. Tell us about the situation in Fragomatic: why did Mem come back in Cmf? Where has Valla gone? What do you think about Mrlame's prospects in your team?

I guess mem wanted to play 4on4 and cmf was her choice . Valla have discovered a new hole in his guitar that he is trying to get babies with. And i think its great with mrlame joining the squad, hes a true lamer.


8. Describe briefly every member of Fragomatic.

Thats hard hmm.. Xantom is a good solid player that you always can depend on and dont often do mistakes that are crucial, always play good imo to. Xterm is very solid player to but more defensive player, hes the opposite of Xantom. Inferno is a nice guy, i love him. When hes playing good hes godmode but often he sux and play bad, to much other stuff and less qw is his problem. The player in fom i do get the most tactical respond with ingame is Interceptor, hes aim is so nice and hes tactical movements are even greater , and i understand him 100% ingame. Valla is the man who has the weapons when you're just getting spawnfragged , takes quad and owns them all and we have maplock. And last we have Riker, he and valla plays similar. But riker is so bad and annoying sometimes that i could spawnfrag him in 10 years and still feel happy about doing it after another 20 years.

9. The Fragomatic's lineup looks very formidable by names, who do you think are your main competitors in NQR?

Its TVS for certain , especially milton seems to be in top shape and hes a really fast player that you dont wanna face ingame.

10. It is generally accepted that it's impossible to succeed in QW without permanent practice. How many hours a day do you practice / used to practice? Is it crucial to play against stronger opponents to improve the player's skill? Who were your teachers when you were starting to play QW?

I did like play everyday when i was a hpw , but my dad did found out my skilling improvements and tooked the modem from me and my bro, but as you know quakeplayers are smart , so we opened the modem and tooked out the icangointernet thingy inside and putted some shit into it so he wouldnt notice it. My teacher was my bro and hes teacher was me. we sat 10 minutes each and played all night long and and when one of us lost we did fight with each other if we looked at each other in a wrong way or something after loss.


11. What do you think of the Russian QW-community? I think there are quite a few good players in Russia, but we have never won anything serious (except for Doom who won Summerjam 2). Why do you think it's so? (shitty connection doesn't count). Detailed answer is welcome

I think your qw.ru should be in english aswell, so ppl outside russia knows what is up in vodka. You have xeon , b1aze, xpr, gorgoth and some other good players. You have Different playstyle , most of the russian players i specced are worse than riker in suicidemission. Overall the russian players have better aim and teamplay then the rest, just that it doesnt feel like you do the right choices when you play etc 4on4 ... play more serious thx!. And don't drink and play , it doesnt mix.


12. Can you give a piece of useful advice for rookie players?

Learn how to aim first then tactics, and just practice , its and old saying but so true.

13. Can you remember the funniest moment in your QW-career?

Yeah it was semifinal , think it was nqr when i Played with Lithium with white effie and riker ,against The orkney clan with dag and decider was e1m2. i just owned them 1on4 in the end, after that dags msg med and wanted to start a clan with me .... Lege artis. And other fun as hell time was against tvs when Riker decided for us and in some crazy way did make the game of the year when tvs leaded the game with 2 frags and 5 sek left or something. Cant explain it , gotta see it!


14. Who, according to your opinion, is the best 1on1 and 4on4 player and why?

Paradoks is the best 4on4 players these days , he can hold the ra side whole game with only sng and gl and make bunch of frags , hes the mastermind that plays very intelligent. Imo opinion the best 1on1 player is a player named fluffy ..end of story

15. Name three perspective players, who could consolidate their positions in div1.

Riker(we borrowed him from div3 topteam) , mm and idonthaveaclue.


14. Favorite teamplay map?

e1m2

16. Favorite demo?

none

17. Which devices do you use for the game?

p4 3.xxghz , turbo with 3 squirrels high on shit. and crt 19" and a steelpad and earphones and a mouse intelli v1.1 from microsoft and windows from microsoft.

18. A few words to your readers and fans :-D

Keep the spirit up , and dont do drugs , give them to me.

As you can probably see its irony all over. I suck at TP and Xantom NEVER whines... All lies.
