Your conservative nature works well, you show how much you respect how things are done and that you wish to learn in these early stages before doing. It is a bit of a constraint now, but it will pay off later when you know the under-lyings of the Wikia and can write stuff that is compatible with everything else without thinking about it.

Eh, I don't think the journals have a specific requirement to focus on Quake stuff as you are implying. These are like your talk pages and user page, designed to express yourself. Unlike articles, you don't need to be as professional and stuffy here :P. Talk about what you wish.

Hmm... Trent Reznor might have something to do with it, he did most of the sound work for the game. If not him, probably American McGee over John Romero.

I would like to know as well. So far I haven't seen anything confirming this.

You know, you are right, Quake received very little complaint for the animals. Maybe it has something to do with the small amount of them throughout the game. I am not so sure that it is a homage, these are not German Shepherds. Not every dog is going to be a homage!

Shub-Niggurath is extremely interesting. We can find out stuff about her by reading Lovecraft stories, but Lovecraft himself was extremely vague to leave most concepts to the imagination (your sense of mystery you are describing). I do recall reading a story that basically said Shub-Niggurath was the creator of the black plague, this was probably the most detail about her I ever got.

Darkness wasn't my problem with Doom 3 either, that is something I actually like in my games. All people that complained about it being too dark should try Spiral of Degeneration. Now that is dark!

I definitely am curious to see what other unused content there is. I know about the Ogre Marksman, basically a version that is missing its sound effects and obituary.

Qtest sounds should go in Qtest, unless of course it is specific to some entity such as the Dragon from QT.

No problem, I love to ramble as well!
