Nonetheless, you have to appreciate someone who can qualify through conditions like these: And have a look at dandaking’s railgun accuracy on almost 2.Here’s the final frag, capped with a shotgun and a dial up internet quality ping of 2. here. Absolutely ridiculous.The qualification is a bit of vindication for dandaking as well, who played in the first North American qualifier only to be knocked out in the third round.A small contingent of Australians have taken part in both qualifiers so far, but dandaking is the only one so far to get within a whisker of qualifying, let alone actually making it.After all, it’s Quake on 2.

This story originally appeared on Kotaku Australia. At $1. 8,0. 00, Could This Custom Chopped 1.Pontiac Fiero V8 Lower The Boom?I’m going to go out on a limb here and state that I think the Pontiac Fiero is a national treasure. Whatsapp Download Nokia 5233 Mobile No . Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe V8- Archie edition is even more so, but we’ll have to see if its price is asking for too much of your treasure. Sir. Mixa. Lot never rapped that “Baby Got Back Seat Legroom” which is a shame. If he had, he probably would have been referring to a car like yesterday’s 1. Chrysler Executive Sedan, which offered up NBA- caliber rear seat space. Unfortunately for its seller, the other thing it offered up was being a K- car, and while a rare edition of the company’s savior, in the very end, it was still a K- car. That fact forced its $3,7. Crack Pipe loss. Some people claim to work hard and to play hard, and it’s not hard to imagine playing in today’s audacious 1. Pontiac Fiero. That’s owed to customizations both obvious—a lowered roofline—and not so immediately evident—a crate Chevy V8 sitting crosslegged in the back under those now limbo- friendly flying buttresses. Both the chop and the Chevy are the work of V8 Archie, who is pretty much the go to shop for such work. In fact, this specific car—#8 out of 2. Archie has chopped—is featured on their site on the “Chop. Tops Tribute” page. Is it wrong that they even have a chop- tops tribute page? Regardless, this car is described as being in excellent condition with just 1. The blind- me white paint was resprayed just 7. K ago and seems perfectly serviceable. That paint covers a heavily modified GT body, with fender arch extensions and the aforementioned 3- inch lower roofline.

The interior features black leather on the seats and, obviously, headroom issues. The dash features the extra gauge cluster on top of the center stack, and all the plastic bits seem to have held up well even if the styling in here hasn’t. The seller says that the car has been well maintained, and that he’s selling it for his dad, who is apparently getting too old to drive it any more. That’s too bad as it’s obviously a unique ride and looks like it might just be a barrel of Juliard- trained monkeys to drive. What’s bad here? Well, apparently there’s a record of flood damage in the car’s history. The seller however, says that the title is clean. Just who exactly you’re expected to believe remains unanswered. He backs up his claim by saying that the Fiero was stripped to its monocoque frame when all the mods were massaged and no evidence of water damage was evident at that time. Speaking of time, I’m thinking it’s about the hour when we all need to vote on the price tag for this custom Fiero. That asking is $1.
