Amused me, who knew Reuter's could do tongue in cheek. (and sorry about the url of doom, couldn't be bothered to try and remove the RSS feed referer stuff) 

Was just poking around the Quaddicted archive - couple questions. First, what's the name of the wad used in GMSP2 and Necros' The Living End? Also, does a Quake texture wad exist for the textures from Unreal/UT, or Wheel of Time? 

the textures glassman and i used are 'rtgnosis', and they should be in the listing there (both as 50% sized q1 and full sized iirc) 

or something like that tronyn, originally made for UT. Pretty sure high res versions exist too. 

should have seen necros' post 

know a decent free photo uploading website with generous upload limits? 

Yeh, rtgnosis was originally for UT (or some later derivative) by Undule. The original pack would be on his site if IGN hadn't 'misplaced' the hosted pages...

(You can probably google a copy tho) 

It was for a mod, cant remember the name off the top of my head though. Real Tournament or something. 

imagehost.org is very good. 

imagehost.org is very good. 

And imgur.com is a rising star. 

Fun fact: t was designed by Libertarians, i.e. quasi-ethical anarcho-capitalists. Anyway, I used to score -9.5,-9.5 on that test; I'm probably -10,-10 now :-) 

Although that's a bit too Ghandi for my tastes 

I finally finished another chapter of the software vs glquake series: http://www.quaddicted.com/software-vs-glquake/software-vs-glquake-fullbrights/

Critics, corrections and proofreading are very welcome 

You say "strife" where you mean "strive" at one point. 

Actually videogaming is to blame. I never played Strife but I remember its screenshots. 

Those screenshots are awfully dark, I had to up the brightness in my control panel to view them.

But other than that, a very good read. It would be great to see aguiRe's glquake support fullbrights, as most other engines do.

So lead designer of Deus Ex 3 says: Ion Storm's original was "kind of slow" and had too few "exciting, memorable moments. There goes any hope I could have for that game...

Expect 20 min long cutscenes and Michael Bay style explosions... 

That sucks a bit. Deus Ex really was a very very good game indeed. 

It still is. Each replay I had so far was great. 

For the people in charge if it doesn't have explosions and "WOW, AWESOME, COOL!" moments (think 14 year old after ten cans of Redbull) then its not a good game. 'I don't think we'll be able to sell this'.

Which is why stuff that's subtle or clever has a very tough time getting produced in the mainstream.

Typically a game that is of that ilk will try to hide its cleverness behind the odd generic gameplay setup or special fx fodder - so that the money men feel safe enough to invest.

For the past decade, I have always considered QuakeWorld to be THE ultimate deathmatch game and despite playing other games, I was always coming back to QW for some quick fragfests. I've had a pretty long break (like 2+ years) from QW and yesterday, I played a little bit of QW and a little bit of QuakeLive. I found QL to be genuinely more enjoyable.

Is something wrong with me? 

QuakeLive is much easier to just play a quick game. There are always players in your skill level. There are many game modes. QuakeLive is much better than QuakeWorld in those terms. I do prefer the QW gameplay (physics and aircontrol mostly) though.
If QuakeLive would finally work with the OpenSound System I would play it much more than Quake/-World.
