I remember there was a time where I was all excited for some footage of a new Tony Hawk game. Now I cant even get myself to bother downloading this Tony Hawk Project 8 footage. Of course I was pretty bored with the Need For Speed series for quite a while until Most Wanted came out. There is always hope?

  Fuck! After taking the time to get fuhQuake set up all fine and dandy, I just realized that the other day I accidently deleted the folder because I'm a fucking retard. :(

    You do have to pay for it http://www.idsoftware.com/store/index.php?view=quake&page=2
    
    $20 and you can just download it right away. Only 25mb! You'll probably want to get FuhQuake too.

      That's kind of a rip, since I've seen a collection of the first three quake games at both EB and Gamestop for $20.

        Damn, I wish my local EB or Gamespot had that. Both my Quake 1 and Quake 2 CDs are fucked.

  Okay, now the server program's just shutting itself off every three minutes or so. NOT GOOD.
  
  I'm sure one of you menz has a better connection than I do. Say the word, and I'll hook you up with everything you need.

  Well that was pretty laggy. Not sure who's server we were on, but my shots barely ever connected so I had to quit (though I did play many rounds).
