Original Quake using Doom 3 Technology

tc writes "Charles Hollemeersch is currently developing a source port for the original Quake that adds "stencil shadows". Stencil shadows are extremely detailed and realistic. The results are very impressive. The code is apparently based on the same algorithms used in Doom 3." Sure makes me wish Quake looked this good the first time around, but I reckon my computer wouldn't have been able to render it fast enough to play it, either.

CowboyNeal is posting stories?

I thought that being the last poll option was a full time job.

Man, someone must really have it in for this guy's server. Either that or a person in a position of power is an idiot. hmm... which to believe ?

I think I know what happend!

[teamhasnoi]

I, like, just sold CowboyNeal like, a pound of weed on Monday.
Editors, like, smoke a LOT of weed. Or something. I think Clinton was there.

Firstposters is cool

[LinkDJ]

Maybe if i add to the thousands of people posting about this being a duplicate story, i'll get modded up! YEAH! That's a great idea.

I'm trying to decipher just what politic ideology you might subscribe to. I see anti-communist rhetoric, anti-capitalist, pro-guns, pro-etc, etc...

You are either very ecletic or very confused.

Dear god!

[Exiler]

Leave the poor server alone! Isn't /.ing it once good enough for you people?! /me hugs the server There there, the mean people won't hurt you anymore

for repost cases

[jukal]

like this one you Slashcode developers could develop a robust action-replay mechanism to smoothly and realistically simulate the creation of discussion threads in the original posting. To make the effect more realistic, add a few "repost, kill the moderators" comments.

Aproximating that there is around 67,000 readers who peek into this story at this hour,around 95 people who actually make a comment, 40 people who make a comment but hit the cancel button, and 140 people who try to make a comment but do not come up with anything, this simulational mechnanism could save aproximately (95 * 3 mins) + (40 * 2 mins) + (140 * 4 mins) = 3160 minutes. If one hour of work of an average slashdotted costs $100, the savings would be around $5266,67. Think about the effect on GNP!

Re:Dupe!

[Negatyfus]

I thought the post was very educational. I learned a great deal about life and its complicated facets.

It's nice to see CowboyNeal

[noz]

It's nice to see CBN every now and then. He's funny in the polls, he's funny on his web page, and he's even funny when he reposts Michael's story from less than 2 weeks ago! We love you all the same dude.

Nooooooooo, again!!!

[bdejong]

Actually, it did kill George over there in the 3rd cubicle to the right. The shock at seeing the repeat was too much for his troubled heard, and he died of cardiac arrest on the spot. Blood is on your hands slashdot editors!

Re:Not to be a dick

[Afrosheen]

Poor, poor George. He had a weak heart because he was too fat. Something cool happened though. Alot of his friends in Everquest got together in the shape of a heart and all held hands to mourn his death. 5 minutes later it was a massive free-for-all-brawl as the heart-makers didn't know what to do after the funeral.

They say if you enter zone 15 grasslands just before you see the chapel, you can still hear his heart beat.
