It's much better than Fitz SDL. 

 

And it looks way better than the last time I played it (several years ago.)

It is a whole different game. The name was sold. Kotaku is shit.

And it still is a silly amateur game, I wish I had realised that back then. 

Credit where credit is due, that new console Nexuiz looks pretty good. Nice visuals. Looks like semi-competent design.

You might argue that person X or Y or Z is an asshole, but you cannot argue with results. Historically, lots of artists have been assholes.

Xonotic still has every chance to be a good game. 

should probably come up with a better name though, tbh.

So should RemakeQuake *g*. 

I thought Nexuiz looked great right up to the point where I played it and saw that it was Warsow with weapon bloat and the cool movement removed. 

Also I was thinking about linearity recently myself, mainly because my levels so far are all extremely linear, so I'd be curious what Quake maps people think are a good example of non-linear design. 

All i can think of atm, i haven't been playing muh quake recently. *whips own back with cat of nine tails* 

Stark Monstrosity - Has teh nonlinearity. Also Slave. You make a loop with two or three things which have to be done in a certain order so that you can unlock the next area (or two areas simultaneously ;). 

is a good example. 

i seem to recall 'explore or die' was non-linear 

Flash Game fun 

looks very bad 

Could have sworn I'd played Slave but I loaded it up and it rang no bells :p will check it out then :) 

didn't Day of the Lords have some nonlinearity in parts? I can't remember but i think you could visit the 4 corner towers in any order...

Also e1m5 is a good basic example of giving you two tasks and you choose the order to do them in. 

...but I can't remember which one o_O

Forcing prisoners to play WOW is cruel and unusual punishment 

But ... 'normal' people do it by choice on the outside! 

The trading of virtual currencies in multiplayer games has become so rampant in China that it is increasingly difficult to regulate.

Yeah, I suppose only the government or correctional services could take responsibility for such cruel and.. oh, right. 

Random wtf:

If only gold farming were regulated! That would fix everything!

*facepalm* 

What was that?
