BASH

The post-”BASH 100″ celebrations are over and done with and we get back to business this week.

Guillermo (aka T3chn0r) and Mats (Space Pig) are two of the most sincerest individuals we have interviewed since the podcast began. Not only do they understand the art and science of scripting — they are both passionate enthusiasts and crusaders.

They have a clear sense of the ethos that modders should follow and are openly critical when they see that ethos ignored by some of their colleagues.  That criticism vanishes in a heartbeat though when you bring up CoD modding.  The term “enthusiast” is too weak a term to describe someone whose day job is programming and whose hobby is as well.  These two programmers do not just show enthusiasm, they are optimists. And that optimism about CoD and the modding community was both refreshing as it was educational.

The educational part came in discovering what the Open Warfare Project, their brainchild, was all about.

Concept and philosophy meet in this mod.

Guillermo came up with the idea for Open Warfare after competitive-play PAM support in CoD4 fell away. He vowed that no community mod should depend on the availability of just one person. Like-minded Mats came along just a bit later, looking to spread the burden of supporting the Tactical Realism Mod.  Competition mod blended with the world of Tactical Realism and another great multi-purpose mod was born.

Listen to the cast to find out how to enhance your CoD4 and CoD:WW experience with Open Warfare!

This week, I again indulge myself (that’s twice in two weeks). I have included a little ditty at the end of the podcast mourning the loss of those whose opinions I disagreed with in the last episode.  I know not to give up my day job.
