Google Gets Quake II Running In HTML5
Dr Herbert West writes "A trio of Google engineers have ported id Software's gib-filled first-person shooter Quake II to browsers — you know, for kicks — as a way to show just what HTML5-compatible web browsers are capable of. According to the developers, 'We started with the existing Jake2 Java port of the Quake II engine, then used the Google Web Toolkit (along with WebGL, WebSockets, and a lot of refactoring) to cross-compile it into JavaScript.' More details are available on one developer's blog, and installation instructions have been posted as well."

...and Sergey asked of them: "What is that you have so much of on your hands?" and in unison and with a great shout they cried out "TIME!". And Sergey said to them: "You shall take the shootem, not from the land of ego, but from the land of id, and you shall polish it till it shines on the chrome, and you shall take it on safari, and you shall make it follow the law of web compliance. And they went to the land of id which was the place of doom, and took it with them and fit it to the chrome, and took it on safari and they even had the firey fox following after them, for even the fox sought compliance under the web law. But there was no exploder in their midst, for they were not seekers of the web law but kept to their own and wouldn't listen to any other. And they showed it the the netizens present at the dotted slash, and they said behold, look what the Googlers have done with the doom from the land of id, and they marveled at it and karma was burned and even from Soviet Russia they were proclaimed as new overlords.
you mean we are reaching the performances we had 15 years ago instead of 20 ?
You weren't playing Quake II in a Web Browser 15 years ago, douche.
For the love of God, I hope so.

This is what Quake Live should have been!

Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
