And Escape from the Bastille was also released at the Con - better have high-speed access if you want to download it.

Oops, I found them. The whole listing is here: ftp://161.184.117.156/. I think the championship match is ftp://161.184.117.156/fatal1ty-vs-ZeRo4-ztn3tourne y1-fatal1ty-w1_1.dm_66.zip or ftp://161.184.117.156/fatal1ty-vs-ZeRo4-pro-q3tour ney4-(ZeRo4)-g1v2_1.dm_66.zip.

heh, Thresh quit...

Thresh, the guy who started Firingsquad (actually, it used to be Thresh's Firingsquad), quit about a year ago... IIRC he just wanted a change of pace, and wanted out of the hardware review business.

How to view the demos

[Viking Coder]

First, you need to have Q3 on your machine. Then, install

http://www.orangesmoothie.org/downloads/beta/osp-q uake3-0.99v3.zip

by unzipping it in your Q3 directory, with file paths preserved. Then, install

ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/quake3/win32/q3po intrelease_129h_beta.exe

by running the executable and telling it where your Q3 directory is. Then, if you want to view the demos really easily, install

http://www.geekboys.org/geekplay-29/index.pl?downl oad=http://www.geekboys.org/geekplay-29/download/g eekplay-29-1.0b1.zip

by running the installer from any directory and telling it where your Q3 directory is.

Then, all you have to do is download the "demo" files from

http://stats1.zone.com/tournaments/QuakeCon-2001/s coreboard_0_0.html

By clicking on the "stats:1" link, and then scroll down, and download one of the demo files, like the file

http://stats1.zone.com/tournaments/QuakeCon-2001/d emos/fatal1ty-vs-ZeRo4-pro-q3tourney4-(ZeRo4)-g1v2 _1.dm_66.zip

for instance. Be sure to note that there are two files for every match - one from each person's point of view. Getting the file from the winner is more fun! Then, all you have to do is unzip the dm_66 file, and then double-click the dm_66 file in order to view it.

Note that these instructions worked for me, and are not necessarily going to work for you! All of this of course on a Win box.
