Postby Sync » Tue Oct 18, 2005 5:08 pm

can you believe it's been eight years since Quake II and the first fiery romp around planet Stroggos? well the squips still haven't given up and have constructed a new Makron as their leader, time to burn em down.
Now, I normally am a night owl but rarely do I not sleep because a game is coming out the next day, but thats what I did last night and I'm glad; becaus sleep is for the weak, and the mutant-clown-stroggs are after me in my dreams :hits_self.
playing through on Corporal difficulty with High detail, I may have screens of Ultra High later tonight if my friend lets me borrow his 6800GT so I can run SLI.

When you find yourself in the company of a halfling and an ill-tempered
Dragon, remember, you do not have to outrun the Dragon......you just have to outrun the halfling.

if your system can run DOOM3 it can run Q4 on roughly the same setings, texture detail and shadows can always be sacrificed for performance.

I usually don't pay $50 for a game, but for this one I am going to make an exeption.
A nightingale in a golden cage
That's me locked inside reality's maze
Come someone make my heavy heart light
Come undone, bring me back to life
It all starts with a lullaby
