Quake is 10

cyclomedia writes "Late on 22nd June 1996 Quake was uploaded to cdrom.com's archives in the form of 7 1.44MB floppy disk images. Though it wasn't until the 23rd that everyone realised (or at least, that's my excuse for being a day late with the news submission). Cue much aggravation on the newsgroups as eager downloaders experienced glorious 2 FPS gameplay."

It's the FPU requirement......a 486 FPU just doesn't have the muscle to

1) Find a 486DX/66 with 8 megs of RAM 2) Play Quake on it 3) Call yourself an ass-faced liar The DX means FPU.

Quake 4 (aka Halo 3)

[stratjakt]

It's pretty cool, even if they did liberally borrow elements from Halo.

My wife wanted to know what I was making so much noise about, as I frantically shook the mouse and pounded the keyboard trying to get out of the conveyor-belt gurney thing, as I watched the soldier ahead of me have his legs cut off, big needles jammed into his brain, and so on.

Anyways. I'm really glad I downloaded it. Well worth the 25 cents I spent on a blank DVD.

Before you listen to any more drivel by 'AntDude', take a look at who you're dealing with: http://pbx.mine.nu/antdude.jpg. The abortion in the center is 'AntDude'. I won't even get into discussion about him listing his 'sex' as 'female' on his SHITTY 'blog' (aqfl.net). This faggot has nothing better to do than sit on the internet and spew worthless garbage. He's the new LostCluster when it comes to posting utterly worthless tripe. Not to mention his submitted stories! Every single one of his last 10 or so submissions have been tagged as 'lame' or 'slownewsday'. Why does taco even bother posting his shit. Maybe he gets some tiny deformed chinese cock up his taco ass in exchange for some linkspam with google ads? Do the world a favor and never reply to comments from ANTDUDE and mark him as a FOE.
