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)."

  5. Win Port? by FortKnox · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seeing as I'd have the most fun having these guys dance around while I'm at work, I must ask when a possible WinPort is available (I can't change my work OS, so don't bother asking why)? I'd read the site, but it got bombed in like 2 seconds of the posting.

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