Yeah 
I'm dual booting XP and Windows 7. The only two situations I still require XP is for Fallout 3 (which runs on 7 but stutters like hell, runs perfectly on XP) and bsp2wad.exe doesn't support 64bit, so I can run that in XP. But I just use TexMex instead :D
XP is a great OS, it's useful to have it on my PC for when I need it. 
VirtualBox 
is a pretty good virtual machine, and free. It can do Direct3D acceleration in the guest OS... might be worth trying.

Dual-booting XP and Win7 is probably pretty painless, though, compared to Win/Linux or Win/Mac, since they both can read and write NTFS. 
Isometric Quake Images 
fake screenshots from an isometric quake and quake 2 game:

Nice 
 
Metlslime 
Oh yes, very nice ! A shame there are only 2 shots available :( 
They're Damn Good 
The Q2 one is so authentic with its misaligned textures and no lighting.

The perspective is a bit messed up though (the roof)

Anyone have a link to that site where someone 'took a look at' how WinQuake works? He went over the network code, renderer, etc. On the first page he also had 'The C Programming Language,' 'Graphics Programming Black Book,' 'Real Time Rendering,' and 'Masters of Doom' listed as what he was reading when he wrote the article. 
I'd Like To Take A Moment 
To pimp Sajt's Qwalk converter:

It's fucking great. If you want to make new monsters then it's invaluable.

It's no longer necessary to rely on closed source software made about the same time as windows ME.

It doesn't have a GUI but its not like its difficult to write a bat file.

Thanks. 
Yes 
quiet handy indeed.

abuse: after the small talk of screensizes and an evening on a 3D-anaglyphen site, the textwide of Func fits excactly on my 3:4 screen!

World of Warcraft. 
Minecraft 
 
Your Mom. 
 
 
I would like them to post Speed demos of WoW, Minecraft and your mom now please. 
Random Idea 
since next year is the 15 year anniversary of Quake, would anyone be interested in a voter-decided article (to perhaps draw broader attention) about the best 5 or 210 q1sps ever? 
I Mean 
something meant to pitch what we're doing - in the broadest sense of an atmosphere based form of custom software content from 15 years ago - THE OPPOSITE OF HOW THAT SOUNDS - and the whole FPS phenomenon regardless of ignorant fratboys now - relative to now? 
After Several Hours Of Nonsense 
Ubuntu is finally installed on it's own partition. The actual Ubuntu installation was amazingly easy, but because I wanted to put it on a partition and not use the Windows Wubi installer, I ended up going through all kinds of hassle to repartition my drive because Windows 7 thoughtfully made D and E both primary partitions so I couldn't create another without the drive becoming dynamic (which I did by accident...)

In short, I learned a lot about partitioning today and have discovered that aside from the lack of support for a lot of software, Ubunutu is really nice. It even let me browse the net whilst I was installing it.
