Nick G Superstar writes "From the site: 'NPRQuake attempts to capture the elements of different drawing techniques, and immerse the viewer in worlds drawn entirely in the prescribed style. If you have ever imagined running around inside a painting or a drawing, you are beginning to get the idea.' Warning: the site is slow." Update Remember this story when we first ran it? Hemos doesn't. Obviously he was a bit pre-occupied this morning. Wonder why.

*sigh* /. repeating.... by Intosi · 2001-09-22 01:09 · Score: 3, Informative

I remeber reading this article on Slashdot, which covered exactly the same site... I thought Slashdot was about stuff that matters, not about outdated stuff...

Quake as Art by No+Such+Agency · 2001-09-22 01:27 · Score: 3, Interesting

Ooooh! I can't wait for a 3D shooter in the style of Picasso's "Guernica", or Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase". How about an axe-only level done in the style of medieval paintings? Of course, concerned parents everywhere would scream bloody murder at Hieronymus Bosch Quake.

In the same vein by mattbee · 2001-09-22 01:34 · Score: 3, Interesting

So it's a repeat but if you've read down this far, check out the surreal Pencil Whipped, a 3D shooter whose graphics were all done by a man with a pencil and a fevered mind.

Cartoon Quake by Midnight+Thunder · 2001-09-22 02:40 · Score: 2

The only thing missing is Cartoon Quake, where it would be rendered to look like a 2D cartoon, a bit like the latest Zelda for the GameCube.

Hemos is pre-occurpied? by TenderMuffin · 2001-09-22 02:54 · Score: 5, Informative

Speaking as someone on the inside, I DO know why Hemos is pre-occupied... His wife just gave birth to their first child, a beautiful young daughter. Congrats, Hemos :) :)

Re:Old News by Gordonjcp · 2001-09-22 03:11 · Score: 2

That's it *exactly*!! When I first saw it I couldn't quite place what it reminded me of, but you've just hit the nail on the head with that.

OK, so I'm off to get "Take On Me" off Audiogalaxy...
Re:What is going on with Slashdot? by SmileyBen · 2001-09-22 04:04 · Score: 2

Oh, sorry if that came across as anger - it's more a little disappointment.I really am smiley!

My point, you see, is that even if you missed it, it isn't news. There isn't anything new about this mod, it's months (years?) old. We have serious tech news, stuff that's really important (that matters), about things as they happen, and bizarre noise running through the news feed of stuff that just isn't about new stuff, just sorta things that are going on...
Slashdotted by nick_davison · 2001-09-22 05:56 · Score: 2

On the other hand, the site fell victim to the /.effect and ended up unaccessable the first time around. It's nice to have the chance...

...oh damn, it's slashdotted again.

Guess I'll be adding it to my bookmarks and waiting.

But it wouldn't be the BFG, it'd be the BSG, for Big Smurfing Gun...
