Finally finished baking my cupcakes and i must say they taste delicious. I've only had one or two cupcakes from this batch, but i can tell the rest are going to be good. I do wish they hadnt turned out so much like my doom 3 decorated cupcakes, but im hoping the colors and texture are a wee bit differant in later cupcakes. I will keep you posted as i continue to consume this batch. I'll probably have some for breakfast.

I'd sooner staple my scrotum to the ass of a sumo wrestler than play this game.

Got it a couple of hours ago, played some sp and some multi. Multi is pretty fun but it kinda depends on the server you get into, as always you get some servers that have people on them that have been playing quake for years so you never seem to last pretty long. Some other servers you can have a good time on with people that have just got the game and are around the same level as you.

Single player is really good so far as well, the game looks better than doom 3 has more enemies on screen and has outdoor areas but seems to keep a higher frame rate than doom 3 would at the same settings. Playing at 1280x1024 in widescreen format with settings on high with 2x anti aliasing and my fps have only went to 30 maybe on time, rest of the time its been high 50's for the most part. beer:

Love some of the litle one liners as well "how far in are we going? Well put it this way, if we get lost we'l have to be able to speak fluent strog to ask for directions" biggrin:

Its not "just" like quake 3, for a start quake 3's Sp mode was just bot match practice, this has a pretty good sp mde to play through. ive already done the tank and mech sections and had a lot of squad combat and its really good.

The ending blows, but the game is amazing. I just found out that even though it recommends the lowest settings for me I can run it on High at 1152x864 with no hickups.

Not only is SP and MP more fun then Dooms, but it looks better and runs better.
