That basically summed up everything I wanted to say right there!  What
makes you all knowing enough to pass judgements on games you havn't
played????  I think someone has a bit too much time on their hands to
write a mini-review of all the games that the've never played....

And the fact that many of the details in that load of shit are
wrong... id is doing Trinity, not Quake 3, you moron.  That's just one
mistake.  I am not going to list them all because of two reasons:  #1,
anyone with a brain can read what you wrote and realize that you're
spouting shit and you don't know wtf you're talking about anyway  and
#2, I am not going to waste my time pointing out things to you that
are really more or less rumors anyway, since these games are not even
NEAR shipping yet, and a lot of stuff can change in the making of a
game

Prey & Unreal - undelivered hype machines. Only id has delivered most
of what they promised to (no, not everything but most of it).

What the hell does it matter that Quake was brown and grey? Would some
pink and yellow have made it better game?

No, blue and green, and some light beige.  More vibrant colors.  And why
is it so dark?  And does it have to be evil?  I saw a guy hanging on the
wall, and he was still alive!  And that thing that gives you all that
power is clearly the mark of Satan...  Why all so evil?

Funny.  At a glance, I could see where someone might think I'm being
sarcastic in the above post.  I am, kind of, but in tone only.  The
truth is that I would love if Quake took place in the
Tombraider/Tombraider 2 worlds.

Well, I can agree with your sarcastic statement. Never the less Quake was
and still is a cool game.  And about the "evil" and "mark of Satan" stuff I
like to say that it there just to make you want to kill the baddies...thats
all...yeah, thats a good excuse:)  Quake 2 looks like it is not going to
envolve satanic evil stuff in it, so Im looking forward to it.

Well, all the satanism was John Romero's stuff, and when he went it
went, apparently
