And it should also be in black-and-white, with some sort of washed-out filter on top.

I have wondered what I'd do if I found out I was an alien. Would I be the benevolent (teacher and messiah) or malevolent kind (conqueror and exterminator)? I've found enough reasons for both throughout my life.

Heh, yeah, many of these folks were surprised that I am satisfied with a machine that isn't top of the line. But since I have a heavy focus on retro stuff, it serves me perfectly. In fact, it is sometimes a better option as some older games might have issues with certain modern hardware.

Well, everyone has genres they love or hate - can't imagine someone who is fully proficient in every single genre possible. But hey, for a guy that really sucked at flight sims you made some quite admirable progress, in a version known for its wacky controls, and several missions that were (admittedly) unfairly hard and had to be redesigned in later editions. There was a time when I couldn't imagine myself playing strategy games, but nowadays I appreciate them quite a lot. There is something really sweet about being an evil droid that invades a peaceful planet... so Galactic Battlegrounds is definitely on the list of things I would love. (Does enjoying this mean I am the malevolent alien type? Hmmmm.)

Yeah, I have seen level bugs in other games based on the Quake engine, where you could quite literally fall through the floor and into the void. Luckily, none of these happened at the very start of the map.

I have noticed that some of the Doom shovelware packs are actually somewhat valued by the community and even sought after as collectibles. But, to be fair, several of them were of generally good quality, both in terms of packaging and the included levels and/or utilities. But I'm old-fashioned, so I just stick to my crazy compilations of horrible 1994 maps that are so hard to identify. Do you think Quake's shovelware packs be considered collectibles too?

Chaotic and hot, since my new room (after the renovations) currently lacks air conditioning. I'd better brace myself...
