@austin_walker @bradshoemaker I literally quit FFXI back in the day when I leveled, sold all my gear, bought new gear, died, deleveled, could no longer wear my new gear and had no backup gear. Told my friends I was done and never booted the game up again. RIP FFXI.

@emgeejay He reviewed a video game quite positively in Wired in 1994! I did a video about it once and he sent me a nice email about it while he was still alive

The Ebert video games aren’t art saga is so much funnier in retrospect because he was right about a huge percent of games and also because he was used to decades of saying like 4-5 completely out of pocket things a week on TV without people hounding him like he killed their dad.

@RTwin83 @dark1x i know we did a Q3 TNT somewhere in the 2010-12 range, maybe some others as well. i've been meaning to put up permanent Q1-3 servers just to fulfill my late '90s sysop fantasies, so maybe more to follow

@bradshoemaker @dark1x Did you guys ever stream or do any mp videos of quake? I gave up my premium gb membership ages ago, but I’d go back to see that given the conversation here.

What’s funny is that, in some ways, one could argue that Quake is the most important game ever. 😅

@markcasey @dark1x kinda 50/50 but i think it's a distinction without a difference given the broad nature of the question and that all of the influential engine features were directly player-facing in the context of the game itself

@dark1x when you go point for point on everything it pioneered or brought into the mainstream, i honestly think this is inarguably true, particularly as a lot of those elements still underpin nearly all of the biggest games and most successful business models today

@dannyodwyer I thought about it this morning and I’ve spent well over two months of my life in that place

@dannyodwyer Apparently five years gone was just the right amount of time for me to get super nostalgic about it, so yeah, feeling this hard. Also this is the view out my hotel and it’s like seeing a ghost every morning.

Got to play a chunk of this a couple months ago and I'm super curious to see what people think about it just kinda throwing out large swaths of the RTS playbook. When it was first described to me I think I just said "c'mon you can't do that" like six times in a row.
