Textmode Quake 2

This is perhaps the biggest ever display of time-wasting I have ever seen. This project, I can safely say, is useless to pretty much anyone. If anyone else thinks differently let me know. (Note: the fact that text-mode makes you 1337 doesn't count!)
Excuse me while a go write a program that will help Windows render my wallpaper as a text box of ASCII characters...
Apparently it's slow enough without color.
I've not played it, and it seems neither have you, but I do know that there is a graphics library to allow any program to be converted from VGA to ascii, I don't know if this builds off it or not.
Wow, what a totally useless post. Well anyway, this is Slashdot, so I guess I get to wildly speculate. (I should have tried to pass it off as if I knew for sure though, in true Slashdot style)
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
Don't tell me you forgot: 6. Everyone you've slept with (or lack thereof).
Yes. Trash the partition and install Windows or MacOSX.
It isn't even playable.
Um, the one crayon quake mod was much better. In fact at least it was playable.
Slashdot sucks my ass.
