I am attempting to figure out what this room is from and someone said they remembered using their gattling gun in a room just like this one in Quake. http://www.our-street.com/monitorroom.htm

Obviously someone has added the logo and maybe even some of the Doppler images. What you say? Anyone recognize this from Quake or some other game?

Thanks for the help.

Heh, you don't want to know.

Sry, I don't actually recognize that room.

There is positively no way someone used a gattling gun in a room like that in quake.

Those are Doom III screenshots.

Are you sure that's a D3 screenshot? That's seems pretty crappy quality to be from D3. If it weren't for the chairs, I'd say it's from one of the older Doom games, because I remember a room like that in the old-school Doom.

You would be correct, I recognize the ceiling tile from Duke.

I'm gonna vote for Duke3D too. Though I'm not 100% sure, it does look familiar and in the Duke style...

Any chance anyone could find that room and copy it and email it to me. This is from a website of a public company and they have put it there to indicate this is part of their company believe it or not. It would be a big help if you could.
Thanks

Your Nick Tracy though, world famous detective. Why don't you do it yourself.

Actually, you are thinking of Dick Tracy plus I am not an experienced gamer. I am trying to expose some unethical and possibly illegal activity here and am reaching out to the incredibly skilled gamers out there to hopefully help out a little.

Oh, be nice Baggie!

Anyway Nick, not sure if you're going to have much luck here finding anyone who knows where the shot is from in the game... I'd suggest that you'd probably have better luck over at the official Duke forums.

Good luck!

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's Tea bagger messing around. Could be cac or...me, but I'm thinking Tea bagger.

BTW, Tea Bagger, I compliment you on that spanish speaking forum bit, that was funny!

Sorry Nick, but the files are the exact same. One is just re-sized. What kind of illegal activity are you trying to get at? To me, what you're saying is complete bs.

I'm with TB.

Of course they are the same. I copied that picture from the page I provided the link to.

I am simply trying to discover the source of that picture.

At first, we thought it was a photo of an actual control room with the logo superimposed on with photoshop or some other software. Then someone suggested it was 100% CAD using architectural software. They concluded this based upon the chairs and the ceilings and walls. Then someone else emailed us and said they remember being in that room in a video game and thought it was Quake.

Others have suggested it is from a emergency control room in Florida or Room 30 at Johnson Space Center. I am simply searching for the actual source of this picture onto which the logo was inserted.

Thanks

Looking at the "Staff" page, it says your president found the company in 2000. Regardless, do you know how old the game that would have used that have been?

Also, why you ask [no harm meant] such a small community here? There is a very small userbase here, as compared to Neowin.net, PlanetQuake, etc.

As to potential illegal activity, I suppose the best thing to do is invite you to read the report we published. Perhaps that will answer the question for you. http://www.our-street.com/featured.htm

We discuss the picture about 60% of the way down the page.

We are a financial watchdog. Hope this sheds some light on it for you.

yup Nick, after further evaluation(and two joints), I think that is indeed duke nukem. Most likely a user made map, prolly some 13 yr old swedish kid as the author, but still...

If you can find him, have the fucker arrested. Last time I saw duke was in kali about 5 years ago.

I hope this sheds some light for you.
