This looks cool. It is impossible to play an FPS game properly on a touch screen small handheld device, but this would be perfect for watching demos (match replays). If Quake 3 runs this well then I’m assuming other old OpenGL games like QuakeWorld will be supported too. I look forward to [...]
Wednesday, February 20, 2008 Quake Live, the newest in the Quake series by ID Software, is now accepting beta testers. You can sign up with your email address on the website. Quake Live is a free game, based on Quake 3, fully focused on the multiplayer side of things. Multiplayer games have strayed far from the [...]
Faustov has written up a nice Mencoder tutorial to help QuakeWorld players make movies in Linux. I don’t think I’ll be making any QW movies in the near future, but I’ll bookmark this anyway, since I always struggle even with the basics of Mencoder.
Monday, September 25, 2006 Vin just pointed out that the Cobra-Daa video from 1999 is now on You Tube. Cobra was a volatile Scottish Quake player. Daa was an annoying young Irish Quake player who brought out the worst in people, and liked to wind up Cobra. This is Cobra’s attempt at intimidating Daa:
Slashdot’s coverage of the Oblivion saga continues. Some lawyer named Jack reckons that “the game content will spawn ‘an even worse disaster’ than occurred during Hot Coffee”.
Just to recap on Grand Theft Auto’s mod, Hot Coffee – from Wikipedia:
When installed, it unlocks a hidden part of the game which involves having sex (featuring oral [...]
Wednesday, April 26, 2006 While you’re getting ready to play QuakeWorld, here is something to whet your appetite. x0n has posted on quake.ie about the latest port of id Software’s Quake 1 engine: IF Quake, created by one of the developers of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Jason Bergman.
A few years ago, Text Mode Quake was summonning Satan [...]
Wednesday, April 26, 2006 Any of you who have played a bit of QuakeWorld in the past but found that the standard online was too difficult to compete against – now is a good time to give it another shot. There have been a few mini-revivals over the last few years, but this year in particular a small [...]
ClanBase link to this gem from the study group for gaming culture in Korea: many Korean mothers are power-levelling their children’s characters so that “their daughters and sons can enjoy respectable status in the virtual world without sacrificing their schooling advancement”.
As you well know, many online games require intensive time-consuming for advancing the level. The [...]
Wednesday, April 19, 2006 I never know how to give condolences when somebody who is known on the internet dies. A frowny face on a bulletin board usually seems a little bit disrespectful to me. In the case of the late iTG`Lun, the commentator for radio iTG whose two great passions were motorcycles and Quake 3 Capture [...]
I believe Quake 4’s swan song was sung in New York this weekend, at the ClanBase/GGL TransAtlantic Showdown where a $100,000 purse was on offer. For those of you who don’t follow e-Sports (I use the term lightly), I’ll give a small bit of background. There has always been a high degree of professionalism [...]
