I almost forgot this update.
That's okay, it's contentless.
Another counted day. A new patch and a Rocket Area 4 beta (which isn't compatible with the new patch, ha ha funny) drives me to finish my second run through Quake 4. I've been stroggofied for the second time and it's just as painful to watch. I'm almost dreading my return to the waste disposal facility. The Strogg make living and dead marines into their monsters, their engines, their computers, everything. Everything has that biomechanical look. The "waste" is the leftovers and botched creations. To say that it's gross is an understatement. It's like the guys at Raven Software got around the old drawing board and asked just how visceral could they make a game when they designed the stroggofication process then they got together a week later and asked "Was that really the best we can do to wrench guts and gross players out? Let's kick it up a notch!" Bam. The waste disposal facility. It's magnificent.
