That looks nice! And I haven't even got around to Nehrim yet which I've been planning to. Brings back the feeling of Morrowind to Oblivion, especially with the Dwemer ruins. I should reinstall Oblivion ASAP. Keeping my eyes on this. 

the best place to dl Q2SP maps? Like Spogsp, for example. 

and also play through Morrowind.

even to this day, i still have better memories of morrowind than oblivion. 

Drew, I'd visit http://tenfourmaps.telefragged.com/php/main.php

Can't think of anywhere else that still lists Q2.

Or even try my site on this page: http://www.electricescape.com/etherealhell/ratings/quake2.php

This has a list of most Q2SP maps worth playing, but the links could be outdated now. 

not on my real comp now but pretty sure the 104 ones are non funcitonal? 

use 10-4 for reiews, this might help for downloads.

spogsp1 is in the spog directory. 

I downloaded R1Q2 because the regular engine does not work on windows 7, apparently. It seems that it's sp only though. Am I wrong there? Any reccomendations for alternative engines? What is the fitzquake of Q2?

And for that matter, what is the fitz of Hexen 2?

R1Q2 sourceport has sp, I'm just a dink I guess. 

Try Hammer of Thyrion for Hexen II, it's near-perfect.

Lots of new footage, especially of environments. I'm getting quite excited now :) Some of those areas looks drop dead gorgeous 

Yeah I saw that, October can't come soon enough. But I'm sure I won't have beaten the SHIT FUCK TON of games I need to play atm, but Rage really is on my top 5 list right now. Only a month before Skyrim... 

looks awesome. i like the rocks 

but, like the vanilla variant, it is not working with vista... probably just my computer skills again.
anyone know if you can make steam automatically launch a sourceport instead of vanilla? It's much nicer than having a desktop brimming with icons. 

Steam -> library -> add game (bottom corner) -> add non steam game 

duh

YARR! 

Dunno, doesn't look all that exciting and I didn't play Planetside 1. =/ 

I'm probably thinking back to Planetside with the rose tinted spectacles of +4 nostalgia ;)

But it was really quite something back in the day, like battlefield only with hundreds per side. If SOE don't balls up this sequel it could be something quite special! 

Darksiders. Looks like fun. 

Stalker series.

Now to find the time... 

I would recommend an xbox pad for darksiders however, the combat feels a lot better when using a pad to control it (one of the few games I feel comfortable saying that about!).

To be fair I only used the kb controls for a few minutes so maybe they are not so bad :)

Have fun with stalker :), SOC is awesome, clear sky not so much, and COP is awesome also. I think the first one is my favourite, so many good moments I remember having, one of the most atmospheric games I have ever played. 

Yeah so Planetside 2 seems to be a direct remake of Planetside with some new mechanics to fix broken things from the first one like generated missions. 

Looks like it might be a diversion from the general meh-ness of games/first person shooters:

While I'm not a 100% sold on the art style it still seems a lot more interesting than all the generic stuff being pumped out.

(oh, and that rage stuff looked pretty nice too)
