Heh, thank god indeed, especially as I am not a fan of Rocky in the slightest.

Yeah, nowadays I just live on computers, laughs.

Meh, reading is overrated, I prefer all the content being offered in the game. Now that we can showcase all the details in the game, manuals aren't really worth it, and it is convenient to not need to worry about it.

Indeed, that is something we need to do!

Laughs, yeah, that would sorta be a dark and grisly way to end the whole thing. Sounds actually rather nice, a better ending than what we got in truth.

Indeed, and our turn is coming soon.

Laughs, it is wonderful to know there are other game historians out there and that I am not crazy for living on Quake 1.06 while playing shovelware packs nobody else would dare play.

We should definitely keep comic related stuff on comic related pages, sorta like how games work. They are a separate medium, so they have their own separate pages.

EDIT: So I got PCem out of curiosity to compare it to DOSBox. It seems promising in some ways, I can actually run Quake in higher resolutions than DOSBox without suffering from the severe lag I do in DOSBox. However, I cannot seem to get the audio CD working. I have the audio CD mounted, but it isn't playing for whatever reason, and I am not sure how to get Quake to recognize that in Windows 95. The other flaw would be sound, since it is coming from an emulated soundblaster instead of my Dolby Surround Sound, which means it logically isn't as good.

While sound is inferior, which isn't really the fault of the emulator, Quake seems to run a lot better in truth. Movement seems based on my mouse instead of the clunky DOSBox. For once, DOS doesn't feel clunky, which means all my complaints about DOS might come from using DOSBox. 7.1 surround isn't a big deal in Quake, it sounds relatively decent.

I just need to figure out how to get music working. I can confirm that Quake itself is seeing the audio tracks. It just isn't playing them for some reason. The smoothness makes me wish to change, it seems like it would be less of a headache. More of a pain to set up things, sure, but the end result seems far more playable than what I expected from DOS.
