DWTerminator Reviews Quake II Mission Packs

I never could quite dig in with Quake II as much as I did with the original, but I always thought it was a good game. We are talking about the squeal to my favorite game in the history of video games.

DWTerminator breaks down the two commercial expansions packs for Quake II, which are both available on Steam and regularly go on sale for very cheap.

I don't necessarily agree with all of DWTerminator's points, especially that Quake II was a primarily single player experience, but It was really nice to hear someone break these two packs down who has obviously played them both through.

This video is a little on the old side, originally uploaded in 2012, but this channel is still active and this video earned my subscription. Enjoy!

New SuperMegaComics: THE CAT THAT EATS GHOSTS

What a time when each strip from a single webcomic warrants it's own post. However, that is the case with my all time favorite webcomic, 'SuperMegaComics'. This weeks strip.. (Weeks? Months? Years? Whatever..) This time it's THE CAT THAT EATS GHOSTS.

Catch all the wonderful deep thoughts at the SuperMegaComics website.

A Little Source Port Goes a Long Way

I spent the last couple mornings before work playing Wolfenstein 3d. Not the new modern games, but the old DOS game that predates DOOM. One of the interesting things about Wolfenstien is that it's just as much a game about navigating confusing maze levels as it is actually shooting things.

I came across a source port called ECWolf that I was able to install into my Steam directory and rename the executable file thus tricking Steam into running it instead of the old fashioned version. This allows me to enjoy the source port experience while still having Steam count my hours.

So what does the source port provide? WASD controls for one thing. I know that prior to Quake and Unreal, mouse and keyboard were not the prevalent choice for FPS controls, but now I find it impossible to go back to how it was before that.
