I played Quake2 tonight and just like before time passed by too quick. When I checked the clock and saw that it was midnight it starting me thinking.

Anyone remember being able to play this game all day?

Anyone remember having trouble falling asleep because your mind was still running around on Q2dm1?

Anyone remember forgetting to eat and drink?

Anyone remember loved ones getting pissed off at your obsession?

Anyone remember being late to appointments?

Anyone remember getting pissed off at your 56k modem?

Anyone remember packet loss?

Anyone remember...

Must

resist

this...

YUP, but it mostly happened with Quake 3 for me. I never got into Quake 2 Multiplayer.

Now there just isn't time

Action Quake 2, that was my obsession. Seriously it was like a crack habit, I couldn't get by without just a few rounds.

I'd wake up an hour or two early just to play, I'd be playing at 2am, I'd be playing whenever I got the chance.

Everywhere I went I'd imagine I was in an AQ2 map.

I've lived it with quake 2 and I'm still living it with quake 3...

It's not a game, it's a passion for me..

Playing Quake2 has been replaced with having sex with someone other than myself.

yea i remember all that.. mainly the meetings i was already stoned in the golden days of quake2.

we used to meet in the railgun room through the water pool at q2dm1 and sometimes at the conference room under the lava at q2dm8. on rare occasion we also conducted meetings on the rotating pedestal at q2dm5.

I used to have over 600 skins and 275 maps for Q2 why did I delete them? Dumb is me!
My obsession was eraser bots with Renegades maps, plain and simple. :}

Hey you guys fresh kill me if ya want, but is their anywhere's a enhanced graphics download for Q2?

Actually there is:

Quake II Evolved

It's beta, couldn't make it work, but the graphics are impressive. I think it doesn't work because of my video card (matrox G400 max). It should be easier with an ATI of Nvidia chipset based video card.
