Nice find !!! 

I recently went dual monitor. On my new monitor (backlit TN) when I spread my fingers and wave my hand in front of it I can clearly see temporal aliasing, on my old one (5 years, edgelit TN) I don't get it at all. Anyone else try it and share results? I'm curious. 8-B 

who didn't wave his hand in front of his screen? 

tried with a guitar, while jamming on milkdrop.
Unfortunately it was a tube screen and I'm glad it didn't electrify my waves. 

 

Carmack on why he thinks Linux emulation of games is better business than Linux ports

http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/17x0sh/john_carmack_asks_why_wine_isnt_good_enough/c89sfto 

Properly evangelized, with Steam as a monetized distribution platform, this is a plausible path forward.

Is he saying Steam + emulation is the best solution ???
Valve's Linux games are native afaik.

I truly do feel that emulation of some sort is a proper technical direction for gaming on Linux.

Hmmm.... He sold his company, so money is obviously more important to him than the thing he loved. When he sold iD, he lost his right to mouth off too imho. Or at least be taken earnestly. 

Even if he hadn't sold his company, it employs 200 people and projects take years and cost millions. If they were independant money would still be a huge concern. 

 

Why wasn't this news?

Amazing webgl port of Quake that runs in Firefox and Chrome.

Anyway, Quake is still much better native, but this is really fantastic work by the guy that made it. Seriously incredible port - especially when compared to other webgl games. Crazy how well it runs.

Shame running in a web browser makes input all wanky.

'Remote Gopher Troopers' gave me an idea... 

I went to Netherlands in December 2012 to meet Rutger Baks. Eventually we found the fun of Quake and recorded some coops mostly on dmc2 map pack + one sp demo by me. We tried to find Orbs to join the fun but that bastard never replied to my emails. For dmc2m4, there is one missing demo because Rutger was unsatisfied with his run and deleted it. We could not repeat the time later though.

Without further rambling, the demos: http://nahkahiir.thps3.net/quake/dutchcon.zip 

Dmc2m3 client demo is missing too. A map which I really disliked speedrunning... Still, the missing demo is Rutger's. :) 

Server demo. On the left side of my brain there is nothing right. On the right side there is nothing left. 

WTF?!?!

that bit of flesh in the Shamblers claw must be what was left of the other guy who brought a stick to the fight. 

But yeah that's pretty much a smabs
