The Dramatic Bits

*********************************

This is my 4th Game Map Of All Time

My first map DMEmptyNest was met with a stunning display of apathy by friends

and enemies alike. I had co-workers test it for me and I've since had to spend

all my time in the office hiding in the broom closet. I attempted to create a map

where the world was an obstacle to overcome in order to get around to killing the

folks in the map with you, and for this transgression I have suffered much.

I was young then and didn't know any better.

My second and third maps shall never see the light of day. The second because after a

ten hour qvis3.exe session, I decided there was more than likely somehting wrong. The

third because; while I still like the basic idea, was turning out dull and uninteresting.

I am older and wiser now (HA!) and I still wanted to create a map with an environment

that stood up and said, "Here I am. I WILL affect the way you play!" I've also become

quite attached to playing arena-style blade duel maps on Sparrow's Nest. Cogz is

the result of these two minor obsessions. I hope you enjoy. If you don't enjoy... don't

play it (although my co-workers are speaking to me again after playing it, so that HAS to

be a good sign).

*********************************

THANKS! ...and I mean that

*********************************

Thanks goes to to SparrowSlain, Flaming She Devil, shokugE, Hem ROID, and the other fine Blade

Duelists who inspired me to get back to map creating by providing me with a group of people

I look forward to getting killed by.

PLAYING THE BEAST

*********************************

Single Player: Nope, well yep, but no, not really, I mean you CAN, but why?

Co-op: Co... who? Ah, that would be a not on your life.

Death Match: Yes, I'm afraid so... it has 10 portals. you decide how many people YOU want running around on it.

The Why: 1) This is for my father who said I'd die by the time I was thirty. This is for my mother who tried

to smother me in my sleep when I was 4 years old. This is for my grandfather who took me on a hunting

trip at the age of twelve and got me drunk on rotgut. This is for my teachers who said I'd end up in jail. but most of all, this is for the leprachaun who tells me to burn things (thank you

Simpsons)...

The What: Platforms, and not the ugly kind from the seventies.

2 Armor

2 Health
