As for my favorite Quake... I'm perhaps still more partial to the original. Haven't played it in years, but my fondest gaming memories are still from that game.

This is the second time i've listened to it - and i can recommend it to anyone who hasn't listened yet.
Informative, fun and intelligent content - and the best part being that its presented by people who seems to love dealing with stuff like this.
Oh, and on a side note - finally i've gotten used to the new shackdesign. Took me a while though, but now i can't even remember why i didn't want it to change in the first place.
