Gaming now on debian :) It’s really cool! Also looking on quake live review

I’ve never jumped in the Quake wagon. I remember massive LANs of Quake 3 when I was student, but I never took interest, probably because I always ended up with a negative score on these annoying pitfall maps. Online FPS play is not my thing as I like to take my time and study a situation before running in guns blazing, so I usually end up being easy sniper prey.

About Duke Nukem, I think the franchise is still pretty solid. Gamespot’s character battles had him go as far as the 8th greatest video games heroes of all time, so it’s not like everyone has forgotten about it. Releasing Duke Nukem Forever seems impossible now but I doubt there won’t be any new game based on the license.

@ Square:

Same here. I was never huge Quake fan, but I’m finding the live version to be tremendous fun. Perhaps it’s nostalgia?

@ Debianero Rumbero:

Btw, does anyone have rights for that franchise now or is it in legal limbo? Not that I’d expect anyone to pick it up – it would be a bad investment. I mean think about it – no matter how good you could make it, it will never be good enough – not after so many years spent as vaporware.

Have to agree with you about farcry2, it is naff.

I’m still waiting for Duke Nukem… forever ^_^

I’ve been hooked on Quake Live since the Linux release came out. I’m not sure why, though, since I wasn’t too into Quake 3. Perhaps it’s the statistics. :D

Anyways, I’m more of a CA player but I do hit up the FFA servers every now and then.

It’s interesting the way they’ve integrated the game with the browser, though. The game data is stored locally and launched via the website. No flash, no java, no junk. Just Quake. ™

Anyhow, I’m ‘squarehimself’ in-game. See you in the Arena.
