Yeah, wizards do that. Just randomly pop through a brush they decide isn't solid enough.
Also, what filtering / graphics options are you using, those textures are really dithery. Or is that just the textures themselves? Hmm, I know I get HIGH ENCODING warnings sometimes but that is because I try to really push the bitrate.
I use CBR and a bitrate of like 12000 to have reasonable quality. I'd like to use VBR but I could never get anything that looked I always used to use Shadowplay for everything because it just worked. But for OpenGL and non D3D games I found OBS to be the champion. Never thought about internet connection though. 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

Probably too many people pointing out that this Carmack is not that Carmack. 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? 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. 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. http://www.hoxar-inc.com/new-page
password is #AN0M4LY^ 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. http://imgur.com/Npr8eBy 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 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.
