      God, I hate when games for linux are only available two full days after their windows counterpart. If linux is EVER going to be a viable gaming platform, we need to demand that it's available at the same time as for windows..

      Ahhhhh, one day I'll be able to make a statement like that with a straight face....

      great job, id!!!!!

    Jack Thompson today publically voiced his opinion against Linux and against Quake in all shapes and forms... quoted specifically he said :

    "Any group of people who advocate giving a Penguin a helmet and a rocket launcher are a bunch of sick fucks..."
