  1. Not Very Impressing by aaaaaaargh! · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Sorry, I know that some people think you shouldn't criticize any free open source software, but this is really not impressing. It's kind of weird that with all the freedom they had the developers of this game only came up with a generic Quake Arena clone. If that's typical for open source games, then No, thanks.

    I actually find it a complement when I'm kicked for "cheating" when I'm actually not :)
