I don't think iPhone and Android will do better in the games department. These gaming suited handhelds are designed for people with better attention spans than a goldfish.
I know it's supposed to be referencing the Tag Team song Whoomp! There It Is, but I can't be the only one who read it as "thereitis", as if it's there just because it's there.
Now if we get a nice wider FOV, some more weapon variety (like "throwers" of material, flame/ice/acid/etlectric throwers/tossers etc), movement and control that don't feel like ass, no "ONE TIME EVER CODE!" dlc, and actual community modding support, we'd be golden.
It's mostly due to colormapping. Quake's palette was arranged in a 16x16 fashion. Try doing atmospheric lighting with 15 gradients of colors + a row of non-shaded colors. It's also kind of a lost cause for colored lighting in that limitation too. Believe me, I tried - the only good color lighting shades on 8bpp come in piss yellow and period red. (This would have sent Pentiums to hell by the way, even if you send that wizard Abrash to knock out x86 asm surfmipblocks for colored lighting)
Also there's been colorless games before Quake's released existence. MechWarrior 2's a good one. Entire palettes are dedicated to rendering the whole level a certain shade of color. No one ever called them out on it though...
Serious Sam is even dropping its trademark color for the third game.
1: why can't I get rid of that stupid Print button by the address bar? and 2: why do I need an HTML page editor in a browser, and why do I need it bound to a freaking command key?
1. You can remove the print button by entering "Customize toolbar" by right-clicking on the toolbar tab waaaaay to the left
2. You can install without composer.
Ironically, the full Seamonkey suite seems faster than the "faster" and "light" Firefox..

Another demo-less bad console port. :(
Jax was MK2 not MK1....

Thereitis for Oxford English 2017.
You're missing an 'a'.
And I won't be surprised if Warner distributes it and it does becomes some Six Flags ride.
Why not Quake Live? Has Notch completely forgotten about that? How does he know the lawyer scrub owns a legal copy of Quake III Arena?
Hope they don't play OpenAre-ah, forget it.
but my computer labs had digital brand Pentium MMX 200s all over the place, preloaded with Windows 95C w/ the crappy IE4 "Shell Update".
Yeah no doubt it's obivously going to involve that endangered species. How this whooshed on everyone here, I have no idea.
Second Life is screwed.
It means it's coming to Linux
Beginnings?
1993's Pentium 60 says otherwise.

My legs are augmented.
Um yeah, nevermind the other "Arena" games that exist.
Robot Arena, Penguins Arena, Rayman Arena, Swarm Arena, OpenArena, probably a few others
Yeah, totally no danger. -_-
once they act on the word "Arena" in relation to Zenimax-owned products Elder Scrolls: Arena and Quake III Arena...
to jump ship to something that actually stays consistent over the years that doesn't try "revolutionizing" for no good reason.
You gotta love those huge .NET runtime DLLs and packages giving a nice big overhead to everything, and those odd looking flat buttons!

My Northwood runs Win98SE fine too. Best Windows FTW

you just stick to the damn tried and true Netscape UI and stop "revolutionizing" anything we're familiar with by instinct.

and I don't know why. Is it the matching lyrical syllables to the Weird Al song title?
