Oi, Fog 
I wish the fog banding in quake weren't so bad, the only fog colors that look good to me are very dark and very subtle but that's asking for green and orange stripes :(

can we have -64bpp please? just, you know, add more bits. 
Fog 
or add dithering. I wonder if that's tricky to implement. 
Dithering 
DX10-generation video cards (Geforce8800/Radeon HD2400) removed all dithering for 16-bit color, so it would have to be reimplemented via post-process shader, which is possible, and I have also done it in GLSL before.

It helps to know the time context when that bit on the QIP page quote was written when cards had dithering and Maddes was using a Voodoo-based card which doesn't support 24/32bit color anyway, hence the whole misleading "no difference" thing. Further to the fact that Voodoo cards dithered and THEN filtered their image to mask the dithering leading to their infamously blurry appearance.

and GLQuake defaults to 16-bit color since that's all 3dfx could initialize on. Gotta leave out the hassle of setting -bpp 16 for those mainstream performance-desperate 3dfx users.

Hey all.

Had to reinstall a lot of programs recently, and I've lost my EntEd reg key. Any one know where I can get one?

Cheers. 
Upgrade To Entspy?

Way To Go OTP... 
Seanza had been sending verbal abuse to TotalBiscuit constantly before he replied with that, admittedly tasteless, comment. 
Yeah Sure. 
Maybe if that dude didn't spend so many years in a business he wasn't suited for, he'd be okay right now. 
 
People aren't perfect. It's difficult to impose such impossible standards on someone, I've said far more reprehensible things in my lifetime but the difference between me and TB is that he's (internet) famous.

Having every single one of your comments criticised is not normal, there's something inherently wrong with the way we treat famous people and have these exacting standards to which they must adhere. 
PuLSaR 
That tone is awesome. I loVe the map. Reminds me of Aliens for some strange reason. Nice work! 
TotalBiscuit. 
Decent layman's-style Starcraft commentary.

Decent down-to-earth game first looks / reviews.

That's what matters to me. You can take your interweb DRAMAZ and shove it. 
I Hear That Shambler 
People aren't usually very well equipped to deal with verbal abuse properly.

Hell I'd rather judge the man by his work anyway, he does great things for games journalism.

The same is true for Phil Fish, the guy is clearly a talented developer, who cares if he thinks japanese developers need to try harder. 
Up All Night 
Off my pickle. Sock - how dare you have a real life! I'm resisting the temptation to keep working on my map jam map. I feel 'I have done it now', 'it was only ever meant to be a quick thing' etc.... 
 
I was going to mark Willem's post in the jam thread as the first use of the n-word on func.

I was terrifyingly wrong:

Got My Results Back For The FdSc Degree I Spent The Last 3 Years Doing 
My overall average grade was 69.72%, which is an upper second. Or an upper-upper second to be more precise. But I just bumped into my tutor who told me it would get rounded up to a 70%, which will make it a 1st! So I'm pretty happy about that today...

It worked, too, QuakeC now looks a LOT less intimidating lol :) 
Congratulations! 
Well done! 
 
Good effort calibration there Ricky :) 
Congrats! 
my degree (10 years ago...) got rounded up to an upper second ;) Was very relieved about that, since there was a bunch of math shit that I hated and thought I had failed. First is way more pwn though. Well done. 
Thanks Guys :) :) :)
