Looking Glass is pretty much the reason why Wolf3D exists.

I have been playing a couple of the latest releases but have had to use one of the boosted-limit engines and not my engine of choice, FQ0.85.
Tonight I thought it might be fun to run up one of my old maps and chose a Speed Map from 2005. A soon as FQ started, and before the opening demo was running, a woman's voice started narrating a story. She got as far as, "The next day, as we shared a hot dog and pretzel in front of city hall...", before the ogre's grenades drowned her out, although I could still hear her talking in the background.
I came out of FQ went into Task Manager and looked for any other running programs but there were none.
I ran FQ again and it did it again, and again, and again. To my knowledge, I do not have any talking books on my machine, nor radio, no TV.
WTF?
I Just Re-booted...

So you have James Patterson audiobooks on CD, it's OK, you can admit it.

Ha, ha, ha
So I am describing what's happening to 'er indoors, when she says, "Oh, I recognise that phrase; that was in the James Patterson book I was listening to today."
And where were you listening to it I enquired? Apparently, her laptop batteries were down so she used my all-in-one... and left the 'kin' disc in the player. And the opening Quake demo seems to use track 2 from the Quake disc, and what does track two start with on the Patterson CD... "The next day, as we shared a hot dog and pretzel in front of city hall..."
I suppose I should laugh. But honestly, I thought magic was happening.
Anyway, Johnny Law, how on earth did you get to that answer? I even Googled it earlier when trying to work it out and got a nil return. But then Deaf In Paradise came on (I said DEAF IN PARADISE) and I had to take a break.
Ho hum.

Of the original disk - track 1 is the game data, all the others are the music.
Thanks, this cheered me up a lot :)

Yah I literally just googled that phrase, it turned up the Patterson book when I did it.
