Description
I can still remember my first schooling in the art of Quake. A young staff writer fresh out of university, I found myself working late one night, and the office Q3DM17 expert offered to give me a run-around and a few tips.
Talk about school of hard knocks. He railed me from a mile away. He railed me while performing mid-air pirouettes. He railed me when all he could see was the pixel on the top of my head. He was a frickin' railgun prodigy, and his name, rather aptly, was Mr Chafe.
Quake Live is basically Quake III Arena playable thanks to some astounding plugin Gandalfery in a browser. It runs like a dream, and it's surely a sign of things to come that a razor-edge, competitive FPS that demands sublime net-coding runs in a browser, and still taps your PC's hardware for its needs.
