Quake Zero Announced
During today's Quake Con keynote the id folks announced that they have a team of developers working on a little pet project called Quake Zero.
QZ will be a free web-based version of Quake 3 multiplayer. Todd Hollenshead told me they decided to kick off this project for several reasons. First and foremost, id hated to see their game, once quite popular for online matches, losing its prominence in the online gaming scene, this will allow virtually anyone with a computer to play matches of their games.
Hollenshead said id also wanted to dip their toe in in-game advertising, and that this seemed like the best way to approach it. So expect ads to be running on the web page when you play Quake Zero,but free games for ads seem absolutely fine to me.

Rocket Jumping Techno Zen
It's Friday. I want nothing better than to go back to my couch and nap away one of the last days of summer. In fact, I think I'll probably go do so — the prerogative of a calling that allows me to sit at the kitchen table in my underpants for half the day. But as I do, I think this Quake 3 rocket jumping video's going to be playing feverishly in the back of my dozing brain. There's sort of a frenetic Zen Buddhism to the awesome purity of these jumps. I'm sure they're probably cheating in more ways than just god mode, but does it matter when you're this damn good?
