Do you have all your weapons bound to specific keys? Or are you still using 
the scroll wheel?

Have you learned to hog the good weapons and armor yet?

I haven't learned how to use things yet. I collect odd stuff and it
gets stored and I don't use it. I have no idea yet how to teleport -
is that bad?

I have to say no, I haven't learned to hog anything. I am learning to
use distance in some circumstances, that works in a one on one. If you
know where he's gonna pop out of, and you stand just the right
distance away, you can pop him but he doesn't hurt you so much. Got to
get it just right though.

If you have the personal teleporter, you activate it with your ENTER key. I 
have ENTER bound to one of the thumb buttons on my mouse, making it very 
easy. Here are some examples of weapon binds.
//weapons
bind t "weapon 4" //nades
bind r "weapon 5" //Rocket
bind g "weapon 1" //Gauntlet
bind v "weapon 2" // Machine Gun
bind w "weapon 7" //rail gun
bind z "weapon 9" //BFG
bind BACKSPACE "weapon 6" //LG  <---mousewheel click
bind MOUSE3 "weapon 6" //LG
bind MWHEELDOWN "weapon 3" //shotgun
bind MWHEELUP ""weapon 8" //plasma
bind MOUSE1 "+attack"
You can manually change them in Quake III Arena\baseq3\q3config.cfg, open it 
with notepad and find the settings there. Better is to create a text file 
called autoexec.cfg and put it in \baseq3. Then put your custom binds and 
settings in that file. that way you won't overwrite them, and you can exec it 
when you play diff. mods.

Don't get too used to sitting and waiting, you need to learn how to do things 
at FULL SPEED, and keep moving. Otherwise, when there is a crowd, you will be 
blasted to bits. But you already experience that, I'm sure. :)

It's like I'm just playing the game and you guys are all playing the
software, that's something you have to beat too.

I like to stand off to one side and blast the others when they're all
involved with each other. But I do have to go one on one sometimes
too. I don't much like it. I'm a third of the way through the hurt me
plentys now.

Quake is a good way to learn how your computer works, and it can teach you 
how to configure things. This is one of the reasons that it's the greatest 
game ever made.

That will get you last place EVERY time if you ever play online against real 
opponents.

I've heard this. I don't think I'm up to real opponents yet.
