Culturally the theme doesn't sit well with north americans, like animal cruelty. But to put in persepective the timeline of the original game we're looking at psychosis, schizophrenia and a big inferiority complex. Knocking the crap out of a few low poly demons still gives us all that same rush though, so it seems like id software was very well named. Shame they dissolved after Quake 1. Honesty I wouldn't trust them to make a real Quake 2. Quake remains it own special time capsule. I have more fun with this game than any other. Is it just me or is the ranger a big antihero?

He fired until empty, dropped the gun with precision. Just a knight, lower class, nothing special. Infected, the rage and hate of the place. He wasn't always like this. Leaning his head on the wall he tried to think back, the harsh edges of the stone a cold counterpoint to the warm images he was trying to summon. Had her name been Marie? Had she been beautiful? Was that a trick of rememberance or a trick of this whole pitiful existance of violence he was trapped within. Were the children part of that same phantasm. Stupid questions. Without worth. Only continued existance mattered now. As if in response to his thoughts a shout came from the end of the hall. Another knight. Would they never learn? Looked like a berserker as well. Machinelike, he dropped to one knee and took its head off. The body kept coming in mid swing, the bloody sword dropping in the last split second from the mailed fingers. With an anguished roar he shoulder barged the charging corpse and took away the midsection in another blast. Ears ringing, he fell to the floor, the shredded remains falling aside. He threw the shotgun aside and sobbed. Inside, a part of him sneered. He wasn't crying for higher ideals or his supposed lost humanity. He was crying for lost dreams. Seeing life on this side of the lens had long stripped away those sentiments, or so he'd thought. Some time passed. He stood up, recovered the shotgun. Needed to eat, losing strength. Looked at the knights destroyed corspe. No way. The portal ahead had endless promise. What it was promising he didn't want to think. Nail that fucker down!

Imagine it jumping out of an (illusionary) window. Of scar3crow's verse I like the one about the power-ups a lot. That grey & crystal(?) knight by madfox looks fricking cool.
