Leaked Quake IV Screenshots

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the check-these-out dept.

An anonymous reader sent in some Leaked Quake IV Screenshots. It's odd how the Quake seems to be converging both topically and visually with Real Life.

    If anything, this deserved a quickie. Most definently not a full post. It wasnt even remotely funny, if I wanted to see that I would look at pictures of kids playing commando or something, which I wouldnt want to see.

    Is it just me, or don't those kids look a little young to be piss drunk...

    Indeed. http://www.geocities.com/aragorn_39th/me.html... Birthday: 12/05/83 living in the UK.

    Anyone know the drinking age there?

    This raises an interesting point.
    Im 16, and i've got plenty of pictures of me wasted. Can they be held against me?

    IANAL, so advise away...

      Hey, not everyone in the world has as braindead drinking laws as the US you know (cheap shot, I know).

      Ok, I don't know what the age is for the UK but it's generally 16 in European Countries. Some are verry liberal, like France or Spain, where nobody will ever think of checking your age before selling you alcohol (i.e. if you've got more than 2 hairs under your chin*), whereas I hear some others, like the Scandinavian countries try to discourage it as much as possible trough heavy taxing and probably more strict age checks.

      I guess you just found your next travel destination ;)

      Just don't drive afterwards ok?

      *: That's only for one half of the population, of course. For the other one, the criteria is wearing a bra ;)

      PS: I live in Switzerland, btw. We're very liberal on that front (and others), too.

      Here in South Dakota, USA, driving age is (or was, when I got my license) 14. Drinking age is 21.

      And of course, people are usually drinking and driving a good while before that point. Thus, one of the reasons that the minimal age for driving was upped a year, and SD has one of the highest driving accident fatality rate.

    Um. If he's the model I have to use, then I'm gonna skip buying this game. And those weapon models, while innovative, need a little work. Where's all the gibs?

    And the dog has issues. All little dogs must die. At least I'll be able to vent frustrations on the little beast. The AI could use a little improvement, too. Seriously, when the bots start turning away from you, you know there's something wrong with the botskill.

    One last Q: What does he do with the pink alien blow-up doll? Er. Nevermind.

    In my experience, it goes something like this (split among myself and two (moderately) willing participants:

    1 liter jolt = Slight jittering, clenched teeth. Balloon animals.

    1 liter jolt, 1 glass of hard liquor each = Twitching of random parts of my body, General euphoria. Videogames upside down (maybe the tv or us, who knows).

    3 liters jolt, 3 glasses hard liquor each = Life is generally good. Definite need of urination (mild to annoying). Break out the spray paint, go find the neighbor's annoying dog that barks at four f_cking thirty in the morning and color his butt.

    4 liters jolt, 6 glasses hard liquor each = Break out the camera, baby! (and generally the bowls dubbed 'Ye vomitoria').

    I admit it, I was suckered by the first two screenshots.

    I thought the first one sorta reminded me of Q3DM12 (err... the one with the rocket launcher in the middle of the green slime pool).

    I thought the 2nd one had a really good texture map of grass.

    It all goes to show that what you think you're seeing has a large effect on what you actually see.
