Nice, but skill 3 is actually easier - they don't rush you and kill each other more, try on normal. What engine is that btw? Its almost unplayable in fitz, but runs fine in DP for me.

this is because of all those penis posts, isn't it. 
 
Any way to remove pause from Darkplaces demo? Or maybe some other engine that plays DP demos and doesnt stop on pause?

Wow that is an evil ending, also keep making the playthrough video's. They are awesome to watch during a coffee break. :) 
Question 
what mid-level/standard gaming graphics card would you guys recommend? it's finally time for a new desktop pc... I probably won't get the time to play skyrim until the summer but that's definitely one I want to play. that and new FPS games, though the settings don't have to be cranked or anything. 
Graphics Card 
HD 6950 270$
GTX 560 Ti 250$
HD 6870 210$

Each ~10% faster than the lower one. 
What Lightmill Said 
Though the next gen technically just hit. So give it a couple of months and the last gen cards (as above) will probably drop in price.

Or just get a Radeon 7970. I saw one in the UK for �440. Which is a lot. But it's a really fast fast card. I think they will do a 7950 soon, and that will be probably 90% of the speed of the 7970 but about 60% of the price, hopefully.

oh and for sp gaming it makes sense to stay a cheap couple of years behind. buy used hardware etc. 
Yeah 
my gtx 460 (oooaalld) can still run the latest games on high (not 60fps, but close) so a 560 will probably last a long time indeed.

I wouldn't spend too much though, apparently a new console generation is expected at the end of this year (or is it next year?) So you may want to save your monies and do a big upgrade after those come out to match the new specs. 
What Is Up... 
With all the epic posts lately? Don't you people know I have the attention span of ... 
Just 
bought a Radeon Saphire HD6850 for �120.
A month later the HD7970 was launched.
I have only a cheap Computer from 2005, so the tophat won't last for me. 
Funny Video: 
 
I have de-emphasized the Quake soundtrack (as it was suggested in QuakeSpasm's readme) and what a result it is - there are indeed many cues that I haven't heard before. 
 
The internet throws a lot of technical mumbo jumbo if I search how to do that. How did you do it and how are you sure it was done correctly? 
What Does De-emphasizing Mean? 
 
 
I've used this little utility called WaveEmph which can be found here. It also tells what pre-emphasizing actually is and gives the fundamentals of the de-emphasizing process. Basically it puts back the treble that was buried owing to the production methods of the time. The utility itself is easy to handle but requires an additional system file (msvbvm50.dll). Also it must be run under compatibility mode to overcome a critical error.

As for the other question, I'm pretty sure that it accomplishes what it sets out to do as I clearly hear some cues in the tracks (when played through QuakeSpasm's SLD - which were faintly audible before - especially on track6 (e1m1). My older .mp3s (that were running fine with mp3 supported Fitz) were coming out poor under QS, so I've re-ripped the tracks and de-emphasized them - now they feel like enhanced (albeit slightly). The strange thing is, neither Foobar /w ASIO coupled with an X-Fi Titanium nor my Sony NWZ Walkman produces the same sound. 
I Meant... 
QuakeSpasm's 'SDL'.
