I’m replaying Quake—or rather, finally giving it a proper playthrough since I was a Duke boy back in the day, and even though I too “wasn’t afraid of no Quake”1, I never really looked past the monotonous brownness2 of the first few levels. So I booted up my almost but not quite t … | Continue reading
