That's one DM and one CTF level for Quake III in one scoop. The skins for the Conni custom model have gotten some attention as well with a facelift for Soul Catcher and a peek at the next skin pack. A review is up for the Doom Plasma Rifle model for a classic touch in Quake III. That's a pretty good little trip right there, so hit Bane Forge today.

Quake 3 Menu v1.05
Alot of people seem to have liked the last version of Quake 3 Menu, so the new v1.05 should go over well. This easy to use in-game bind menu has gone through some bug fixes and added more servers, an advanced config setting and support for the latest version of FlipCom.

Yup, another Quake III log analyser has hits the streets, and the newest is called JLogAn. Features for JLogAn include:

Shug's New Batch
Shug's Crib O'Wunda for level reviews has four recent Quake III reviews and a new "Readers Top 5". The way levels for all three Quakes are done at Shug's is that no level is reviewed that would not come out favourably. No real score is given, but all that you find are top notch and playable till your hands ache. Drop by and say hi to the gang at Shug's, they're a new site here at the "big fuzzy".

Coliseum 2 Self Installer Plus
The Coliseum 2 Mod for Quake III now has a new way to install the Mod. Available now as a self installing executable that has options for a desktop shortcut, program listing and Mod Specific GameSpy Tab it couldn't be easier. This is not a new version release for the Mod, just some installation goodies and a good reason to try out Coliseum 2 if you haven't already.

Mod Centre Open
The Quake III Mod site formerly known as the "Mod Top Ten" has under gone some changes to the site and name. The new Mod Centre is now open and featuring new interviews and reviews. Interviews with the teams of the Urban Warfare and Crime Team have been added most recently with some exclusive shots along side the Urban Warfare piece. All your regular favourite features are still there in the new setup, so drop by the new Mod Centre for a look around.

LvL's First Auto Load
With LvL's Tigger-oN and Mandog being on vacation, we have the first "auto posting" going on at the LvL today. It seems to be working like a charm and here's the first list of Quake III levels for you to check out:

* The Lenghtned by Deathmonger (Space DM/Tourney 2-4 player)

Lee's Mod Facelift
The Quake 2 Mod known simply as Lee's has had some work done to bring it to version 1.01. This single and multiplayer Mod that works with bots has had some major fixes and feature tweaks in this build that you should check out. Teamplay has been enhanced and even the bots handle it much better. Changes to the HUD and Mod GUI make it easier to get in the game and include more options. Check it all out at Lee's.

A Little Q3A Barbecue
The Fresh Team has another level released and this one's for some very fast Q3A DM. A small, good looking level called Moonlight Barbecue is the treat, and having just three players in makes for some frantic action.

Get Some Human Debris
The new site to get launched here at the "big fuzzy" is Human Debris, and they're a spot worth visiting for alot of cool stuff. Some new Quake III levels await you along with updates to the tutorials for making a "Sticky Grenades" and a "Jump 'n Gib" gun. New versions are also available for their Mods:

SOG's Rifle - All players have a high power rifle, with very low amount of ammunition. This is a game of skill where every shot counts. SOG's Rifle has new sounds and models. The modification works with all maps, bot's and all styles of Q3 game play.

Q3 Platform Game - This modification transforms Q3:Arena into an old style 2D platform game.

OSK - OSK stands for One Shot Kills. OSK contains 10 different version's of Instagib. The modification works with all maps, bots and all styles of Q3 game play.

Human Debris is like a shopping mall for Quake III goodies.

More shots are posted at the Painkeep Arena page, but at the time of this post, the page was unaccessible. The QuakeFiles.com page is fine though.

Spankenstein's for Three

Skinned Turkey
The Turkey Manor has the results to their Quake III Skinning Competition. Twelve skins were entered in the contest and three winners were chosen to reign in the areas of "Most Original", "Runner Up" and "Best Overall". Some awesome work came out of this contest, and a few very original ideas came to the surface.

Crank Up the Turbine
The Mean Arena has a taste of their UT to Q3A partial conversion project for you today. The Unreal Tournament level, DM-Turbine has been converted for Quake III as Turbine Arena and is available for download.

More Urban Terror Candy
The Urban Terror Mod for Quake III in the "realistic" vein has reached Alpha6 for closed testing and is getting closer to Beta 1 and a public release. There's some new screenshots on the site featuring a new level, Rommel and some game models. This Mod is coming along nicely, and I just can't wait to see the comments when it goes public.

Heros Keep Guide
Hellhound's Guide to Heros Keep or Q3DM9 is the latest in the level guides aimed to help you know the soft spots in the Quake III levels. This one has pics and tips for getting the uppper hand in those servers and was done by LuCiPh33R.
