Wondering if there chapel is just the tip of the iceberg and there are catacombs going miles deep inside the volcano.

I bet there probably is :}

If that's not the epitome of "omg sum1 needs 2 map dat", I don't know what is.

Speaking of quakeable churches in France, I give you The Black Cathedral (actually it's called Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral)

The reason it looks like some kind of Elder God shrine is because the town of Clermont-Ferrand is surrounded by volcanoes and the entire cathedral is built out of black lava stone. 

I need to go to France! 

Is that a cheese icon? Well it is for this post... 

long ago, some heretics decided that cheese fueled mappery. these renegades were most decidedly wrong, but their propaganda lives on

Clearing out an old hard drive I came across these from a quick trip to Barcelona a few years ago.

I reckon that if Gaudi had ever played computer games, Quake would be his number one!

Seeing that really makes me want to re-install Minecraft, but if I do that I'll be its slave for weeks. Dilemma. 

That would be an awesome Quake map: "The Venice Area"... 

Of a level from Painkiller. 

They're still milking this thing? Lol.

Yeah, I've been there once, really impressive.

it looks very cool.
