Animate Quake2 Characters On Your Desktop

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the face-it-you're-not-exactly-finding-aliens dept.

Ant points to the new release of amor, called: amorMD2, "Amusing Misuse of Resources -- MD2 edition, which "reads Quake 2 character files and makes them dance around your desktop for your amusement. It will run on any Posix system which has KDE/Qt installed (ie, most Linux distros, BSD's, etc)."

    i suppose the next step will be to make the dancing be interactive? before you know it, we'll have a game on our hands!

      Perhaps eventually we'll be able to position our mouse pointer over them and click, to simulate some sort of gunfire when you want them out of your way!

      Oh, wait..

    Also, isn't Q2 a touch old now? Do people make skins and stuff for Q2 anymore?

    Sure they do, I have been playing Q2 for an hour today wearing nothing but a thong and a small bra, blasting people with my rocked launcher.

    I guess I should mention that the clothing I am reffering to IS the Q2 skin. :-)
