The FUTURE of Quake 2.

I'll be the caretaker   I pledge to keep playing here as long as they are up.  Or untill I die.

Maybe not always every single evening like I do now,  but enough.

No worries, Q2 is addictive!

"Addiction has been defined as "A primary, chronic disease, characterized by impaired control over the use of a psychoactive substance and/or behavior. Clinically, the manifestations occur along biological, psychological, sociological and spiritual dimensions (2)." While there is currently no category for video game addiction in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (3), which is the manual utilized to diagnose psychological disorders, video game addicts are often described by clinicians in the field as displaying many symptoms characteristic of other addictions. These behaviors include failure to stop playing games, difficulties in work or school, telling lies to loved ones, decreased attention to personal hygiene, decreased attention to family and friends, and disturbances in the sleep cycle (4). Withdrawal symptoms can even include behaviors as severe as shaking (5). "

I'm finding it amusing that games sitting on my hard drive are being given documentaries about their cultural and technological significance in their historical context in YouTube videos. Diablo 1,Quake,2,3. The late 90s sinking out of reach,out of sight for all these youngsters. My room mates and I playing a cat and mouse death match on home made DukeNukem3d build engine maps,on dial-up!

And the joyful absurdity of coming home from a long night's work tossing boxes around, filling a bowlful of good weed as my computer boots up,and with coffee in hand,it was time to spike the caffeine with adrenaline. All the strange models,the ability to change the .wav files to anything you'd like,so each model had it's distinctive sound,often intentionally silly. I even made my own skin and it's floating out there on the server.

Remember the Toxic Monkey cartoons? The website changed names years ago and they were lost. I still pop here and read stuff,but my gaming console of choice is my smartphone, and it is also my IP,and playing Quake 2 through it is possible but pointless. I poked my head in Quaketown,and appreciated the work. But my long commute leaves me little time for it. I play some Mech game on the bus,and my favorite weapons are dual BFGs,the developers definitely copied the mechanics. So every bot I vaporize I think of you guys.

HAHA! Yeah I think so. If it's the one that used video clips from old Indian/Bollywood and Kung Fu movies where people added their own subtitles. Although you said "cartoon"... that sounds vaguely familiar too. Good times.
