The quotes from Carmack do more for me to explain what's going on than anything said so far.

seems like those are mainly if you have your own server or have direct access to the server os? when i look at server hosting options, i've never see grails.

and also web2py vs .net? i've looked at some comparisons, but they don't really mean much to me as i'm a noob.

No dubt that what they do is a big technical achievement. I see they're hiring Linux filesystem (Btrfs) gurus

Could someone nicely shop some Quake monsters over the enemies in a 500x375 version (scaled/cropped, whatever) of

It's been my professional life for about 10 years so I guess I must see something in it :-) I've mostly avoided web dev stuff though. What are you trying to do?

it's a school project for an actual client who wants us to create a dynamic website. i'm in a group so we'll probably just go php or asp/c# but i was just looking for opinions on other stuff.

Python is more of a real programming language than PHP so if there is going to be, well, real programming involved then it would be better IMHO. But if it's just getting some crap from the database and mashing it into an HTML page, PHP is probably faster to get going. I don't know anything much about asp/c#. C# is also a real programming language of course, but probably one that requires a bunch more typing than Python :-)

i've used django a tiny bit, seems solid. Plus the general opinion seems to be it's comparable to Rails, which I've used a lot and enjoyed.

This Youtube video is a year old, so maybe you've seen it already. It was new to me. It's 55 seconds long and titled 'Undead Scrag.'

I was coding up a new type of zombie and left the head alive in a similar way, except it chased the player and was able to bite them.
It couldn't be killed because it was dead...
It made me laugh so I coded up zombie splitting - a lucky shot would split the zombies torso from its legs, and the upper half would run on its palms after the player and do small leap attacks.
Good times.

I believe it was a known bug to id and is why the scrag green goo attacks checks if it has health before creating the projectile.
