It was a fantastic game - very much a fantastic game experience in particular - pity it is being increasingly consigned to history. 

He's a tall bald man with no neck. They all kind of look like each other. 

What I was noticing was their eyesockets were set at a slightly odd tilted angle. Gunther because he is drawn model on simple geometry where the modeler wanted to emphasize a Teutonic warrior type, Brian because he is a little funny looking.

I am carefully introducing the new design, just now the maps description pages got revamped, check 'em out!

Not much more to say. The map listing is a bit difficult to read, I think because of the column alignments - maybe make them all left justified. 

where the pink syringe? :( 

I wanted to try non-gay for a change. Maybe I'll put it back but no for the next weeks. 

where did you get that title image, 1994? 

 

i actually preferred the half-gay design you had a little while ago -- more brown, but still with the pink highlights and that syringe. 

ugh.

the greenish brown background with the red is not doing you any favours. I suggest going more rustic brown.

And you need to make sure the width of the page is the same as the title logo on all pages, looks very poor when it's not aligned right. And the logo itself is hard to read, the background being much more busy and bright than the text.

I did a quick photoshop to fix up the colors and make the logo slightly more readable.

whether it was gay or not, it was distinctive and unique. 

Change the pink liquid to brown.

Not gay at all.

Willem? :) 

While you are right with the easy readability your version looks like glquake without any full- and overbrights.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Mark Rein already smacked that down. DENIED! :) 

they want their logo header image back. 

Your mum fat. 

I like it. 1994 seems like a perfect design sense for a website dedicated to Quake 1. 

1997 called, they want their "1994 called" slogan back.
I am already using Javascript to help the buggy Firefox render the map description, does that not make Quaddicted next-gen2.0 enough? 

and there are websites that have header images made out of embossed cutouts of quake textures.

that any better? 

If you want to help you will never succeed with such attitude. 

Change the character outlines to white so the letters pop off the logo better. That would be enough to finally make the nay-sayer's heads explode. Or, at the very least, move on to whatever is next on their seemingly endless "Things to whine about" lists. 

is high contrast and busy. The letters are low contrast, darker than the bright parts of the lava but brighter than the dark parts. The old chrome cursive was actually easier to read. 

I agree with the low contrast comment. That's why I suggested pumping up that black outline around the letters. Seriously, trying filling it with white or a bright yellow. Something to pop it off the lava. It DOES get lost and you don't even realize there's a word there for a few seconds.
