Playing Overwatch and Blizzard continues to randomly send me into games all over the world, but mostly GMEC2, Google's datacenters in the Middle East. I'm still having fun, even with my ping at 180ms. Maybe I'll pick up a little bit of Arabic this way like I learned a tiny bit of Russian from Quake 3.
This brought back so many memories. #Quake3 and #UT99 were a huge part of my life back then, genuinely good times.
Now #gameplay footage from #Quake4: The Awakening has surfaced on #YouTube, an expansion that was cancelled after only ten months of development. The footage shows early environments, experimental mechanics and content that was clearly never finished.
Mostly documentary value, but still a fascinating look at what could have been.
Apparently some elements like the Dead Zone #multiplayer mode actually made it into the 1.3 update back then.
Bittersweet to watch.

I was poking around a source port called Quake3e last night. The new renderer can add subtle UT99-style coronal glows to light sources.
It amuses me how much of a tell that is for UT99 environments. Q3A's feel shifts dramatically towards UT99 with these flares turned on.
