    What is wrong with FPS nowadays, every game gets darker and darker. I have my brightness maxed out on my monitor and gamma way up.

    I heard a myth that game engines can generate more polygons in the dark. Can someone verify if this is complete BS?

    Any news of a mac port for this?

    while there's a thread on the subject of opensource fps engines...

    QFusion is an open source quake3 client, written from scratch.

    Just thought i'd post a link to it,
    cause it's an impressive accomplishment,
    and the source code is beautiful...
    and the engine's speed compares favorably to the real Q3 client.
