=========================================================

		LamerKatz Chronicles

	  "Mix a clan of lamers with KeyGrip2,
	      you'll get crap like this."

=========================================================

*** Installation:

Unzip LKC_CHRON.ZIP to your Quake2 directory, making 
sure you check "user folder names". If you can't figure
that out, just unzip the files anywhere and copy them to
"Quake2\lamerkatz".

There are only 3 files included with the .zip:
	
	pak0.pak   	<--- the demos, sounds, etc.
	lk_chron.bat	<--- run this to start the movie
	lk_chron.txt	<--- this readme file

	.zip file size: 5.8 megs
	movie running time: 12 minutes, 10 seconds


*** To Run the Movie

Assuming you extracted the .zip contents to the right
directory (Quake2/LamerKatz),  simply run LKC_CHRON.BAT
in the LamerKatz directory to start the movie. If for 
some reason the batch file doesn't work, run:

quake2.exe +set game lamerkatz +map lkc_intr.dm2

There are 6 demos strung together to make the complete
movie. If you want to see a specific demo, you can by
running that demo instead of the introduction!

	Introduction:	lkc_intr.dm2
	ImWithStupid:	lkc_imwi.dm2
	Player:		lkc_play.dm2
	Pr0n GuY:	lkc_porn.dm2
	Happy Smile:	lkc_happ.dm2
	Conclusion:	lkc_conc.dm2

I recommend starting with the introduction, of course.
Otherwise you miss part of the movie...


*** What the hell is this?

"LamerKatz" is a fictional Quake2 clan of lamers. Just
about every type of lamer is represented in the clan:
the spammer, the newbie, the guy who talks smack, the
guy who has an excuse every time he dies, the guy that
can't stay out of the negatives...

LAMERKATZ CHRONICLES only contains a small portion of
these lamers, it's really just an extra project I did
to go along with the webpage. You might enjoy the movie
more if you're familiar with the characters first, so
if you're actually reading this file before watching the
movie (yeah right) you may want to check out the 
LamerKatz Webpage at:

	http://lamerkatz.stomped.com

There are even more demos available on the website, along
with funny Quake2 screenshots, stories, quotes, games,
and pretty much everything else you can do with Quake2.

And of course, the page is hilarious... ;)
