"Player" ran out of body parts - how's that for an obituary?

Obituaries were one of those little features that really impressed me when I played Quake for the first time. I would deliberately let myself be killed by certain monsters and traps, just to see the death message. No other game I had played before had them. And guess what - Quake II doesn't have them either; the only obituary you'll ever get is "player died". Lazy developers!

The other thing that impressed me - swimming underwater. Felt a lot more realistic than Duke Nukem's. And drowning was more satisfying too :P
