Heh, Episode 2 isn't known as a "slog" for nothing. I expected it to be the most painful one and it surely delivered. I enjoyed seeing other dimension monsters all over the idBase levels - it's an epitom of Quake's style, mixing sci-fi with dark fantasy elements.

Yeah, these containers may be rare, but this option could lead to some crazy things. We normally treat them as stationary explosions, but if they can be moved, then perhaps they can even be used to set up ambushes (most likely in E3M1, since its containers are most conveniently placed).

There were a few stray shots... and an axe murder (oops!). You can think of those as bad karma for your dead teammates in X-Wing, heh heh. But hey, other players are always more helpful and less obstructive than any AI-controlled teammate.

I think Minion is correct - ceasing all work on the Wiki isn't a solution, it's just an escape. Leaving won't improve the Wiki, it would hurt it. I can speak from personal experience too - there have been times when I turned my back and walked away from things I was heavily invested into, thinking it was "for the best", but it never was. Nothing good came out of it, only deeply held regrets and obsessive thinking over "what could have been" scenarios. When you last had a hiatus, it was very sad for me and Rottweiler. The place felt barren.

Okay, we both know you can be a little difficult at times, you have your quirks and limitations. But there is one detail that makes all the difference (for me, at least) - you're not doing it on purpose. Your "weirdness" is not something you do out of vanity or malicious intent. It's just who you are. I have known people who would act strange on purpose, trying to get attention or, even worse, pity from others. Now that is something despicable... Others won't always find it easy to adapt to your quirks, but that's more their problem, not yours. You should never feel obliged to change who you are just to accommodate others. You are doing something great here, so you have no reason to feel guilt or shame.

Don't worry too much about your mental health - I have known people who can truly be called "damaged" and make you look pretty fine by comparison. I had a friend who once helped me crawl out of a depressive episode, but he himself had drinking problems and kept sinking deeper into them as time went on. Or a classmate of mine who got so obsessed with status, prestige and valuable possessions that he never returns to this country anymore, not even to visit his parents - that's how morbidly ashamed he is of his origins. And, of course, my, ahem, "girlfriend" that I told you about while we played, self-conscious to the point that she could barely speak in front of other people, and could only be friends with me because I didn't judge her (even when she gave me bleeding wounds with her fingernails). Also remember that guy, Hawki - now that's what a cold and unwelcoming admin looks like. Even I feel intimidated by him.

In short - don't EVER think that you're a bad or unhealthy person. Cause you're not!
