...that makes Quaek fun?? 

tempted.. i've only actually played SoA out of the four, and have in fact lost SoA.

i may invest considering it's roughly the price of a footlong sub meal deal for the lot

I found this lecture video pretty fascinating/entertaining and it's also closely related to game development (VR). It's pretty long (being a lecture), but at least watch the first 5 minutes or so before you make up your mind. 

Very strange, the Q1 from steam only works in fugly software render mode on my xp system. I like Q1 but it does look horrible. Not sure why, the glquake does not work, oh well. 

I found standard Glquake doesn't work on Win7. BJP's enhanced version does, though. 

If there's a glide.dll (or was it opengl.dll) in your Quake directory, then delete it and see if Glquake works. Then use Fitzquake anyway. 

are present in the steam Q1 directory. (only sysinv.dll, wdir16.dll, wdir32.dll)I tried Fitz and that does not start either. It seems like the glquake part is broken, very strange for a steam app and disappointing. :(

I think I just made fitz my default engine choice for it... put the short cut on the desktop...

I haven't had any trouble with fitzquake085 running from Steam's quake directory, but maybe try creating a fresh quake directory with just fitzquake085.exe and a fresh id1 directory with the pak0.pak and pak1.pak files copied over from Steam.

If that doesn't work something really strange is going on.. the pak files from Steam should be the same as the originals AFAIK. 

Sadly it is the yellow bastard child Quake 2 but check it out: http://code.google.com/p/quake2-gwt-port/
Quake 2 in Javascript and WebGL. 

Built fine but I guess it is working for mac fags only. Even installed Chromium and Chrome with no luck (yes, I saw the commandline switches). 

Saw that too, pretty interesting. I didn't know that WebGL was this advanced already. 

not very interesting (or funny) imho. 

Interesting stuff!! 

GOG has some special offers for spring:

$3 for Fallout is so cheap that I actually consider it more convenient than plugging in my USB CD drive. 

Both Starkmon and APSP2 are at the top of the news thread again! 

diging old awesome graveyards

:) 

it'll be a few weeks at least before I have time, and even then I might have no time until like, July, but...

I'm curious if anyone's interested in the idea of a britney spears of Q1SP 2010. lol. What I mean is, we all have our dream ideas of if W mapper and X mapper and Y mod guy worked together using Z textures and etc... but what if we actually all got together one weekend (maybe I'm getting too much into this speedmapping thing which I never even touched before) and held a nomination and vote, each of us being willing to be voter or participant.

anyway like I said gimme a while but I personally think this could be interesting. 

my time is smaller everyday :! kids and work but i�m always up for some mapping...

Sock I know i�m not a good mapper like others but if you want t try one of mines try tchak

I would participate, I'm a big fan of chain maps anyway, even if they almost never work out. The last chain map I can remember that was actually finished was ... Rubicondom I think? Way back when RPG still fiddled with map editors? 

Who was he pissed at? 

The Martin Luther of Quake? Can't await the posting of his 95 theses at the castle church of Celephais...
