Shamblernaut: The dithering is done by the renderer. Yes, some of those textures (mainly the bricks) doesn't look smooth enough with dithering because their hue & brightness contrast doesn't fit well into the Quake palette.

Bloughsburgh: I'm using a 5000 CBR. Also, when recording another video with the Internet connection disabled I've found out the stutterings eventually happened again.

Without recording, I get a solid 72 fps at 720p.

It may be because I've configured OBS to run in high priority. I'll try running OBS in normal priority, but I suppose this can make the video recording to get choppy. 
 
If you want some good q2 dm action going in the background while you work, there is a pretty good upload of purri v isBjorn on Aerowalk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWCXVMc_EFE 
Romero/Carmack

Adrian Is His New Bitch 
that was a yt comment, i myself am sparse on those. 
 
"Comments currently unavailable." 
Good. 
 
 
"Comments currently unavailable."

Probably too many people pointing out that this Carmack is not that Carmack. 
Wait, There Is More Of Em? 
Prolly blows some people right now. 
You Should See How Many Romeros There Are... 
And not just the ones groping Vondur's arse.

I am totally prepared to give Ron Jomero the benefit of the doubt. Dkt had a lot of cool stuff in despite it's flaws, and I've often said that if at the time they'd combined Dkt's ideas and content with Carmack (the other one) 's engine quality and refinement from the otherwise dismal Q3A, it would have been the best game ever...

Plus he's got to have learnt some humility at some point, right? 
Oh Okay, Just Watched The Video. 
Calling the "no humility" early.

It was basically just a nerdy reference, double that up with the fact that Romero lives in Ireland (which is where that scene was shot) and it's also a teaser because no-one knew A. Carmack was involved...

I dunno, I think Romero learned some big lessons with Daikatana. 
 
Didn't Carmack have an hotel or something like that in Ireland as well? 
Yes 
5-star Heritage Golf & Spa Resort in Killenard. 
I Dunno 
it's not very quakey, but could be a cool map I guess. 
 
Romero is way past Daikatana. He's been focusing a lot on Doom 1 & Doom II stuff for the last� couple years?

He's going back to his id roots, reviewing classic fps design and getting inspiration from the classic Doom communities.

Whatever his new game is, it should be fun.

Quake Hit Top 25 On Gog 
Quake: the Offering hit position 25 in Gog's list of popular games. It is currently on sale as part of the Quake I, II and III bundle and by itself.

I'm not sure how popularity is calculated for the rankings, but I assume it's based on the recent sales numbers. I think it's pretty great if new people are still getting into Quake I, perhaps influenced by the recent mod releases :)

I took a screencap. There it is, in the bottom right corner.

BTW these are being posted in the SA "Early FPS" thread... the guy has lots of super-nostalgia-bomb magazine scans.

If you have SA forums access (or if the Games forum is currently un-paywalled) you can see all his posts at http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3420790&userid=167046 ... he starts posting scans on March 27 (page 9 of his posts).

Thanks czg, I've saved 36 pages of Quake-related stuff from that album. Will upload it later. 
 
Here's the 36 Quake-related pages: PC Zone magazine scans

That imgur album also has a Quake 2 article, but I haven't included it. 
 
Are there some cool Quake demos for protocol 666? 
Crystallize 
Whu?
