That's right - there is this evil privilege and we must fight it. Can I get some muscle over here? Ooops, no wait, muscular people are privileged! Argh, argh, what do I do, what do I do???

I suppose the combination of Daum and recording software is at the bottom of this. I have more options since I don't record stuff... plus, I actually like the narrowed screen with the black lines on thesides - it's more oldschool. So r4000 suits me perfectly. So far I haven't encountered anything that doesn't run properly. In fact, DOS Quake is probably slightly easier for me to run than Winquake and other old DirectDraw applications (though there are efficient workarounds for them).

Probably. Hex 2 retains many of Quake's features, while also adding some new ones... I wonder what their effect would be on you. As for the first Hexen - if you feel like it, my free time is from December 17 until January 8. There may be a few days when I'll be visiting my folks, but the rest of the time I am fully available. And fear not - this time there won't be any backseat gaming. The only comments you'll get from me will be snarky ones, and you'll be absolutely free to experiment and blunder on your own (unless you explicitly ask me about something, of course) :P

Yup, I can hear clearly, there is only this slight metallic/reverb thing, which isn't a big problem, but I think you'd be better off without it. Send a link if you make another test video.

Wow, sounds complicated. I've seen, heard and read that people build stuff in this game, though I don't know what the ultimate objective is... if there even is one.

I can play most modern stuff on the highest settings, with a few minor exceptions. In the new Wolfs, for example, the only setting I can't crank up is reflections. This really messes up my framerate for some reason, whereas everything else is on Ultra without any loss of performance. Perhaps my humble GT 740 is ill-suited for this sort of effects.

I felt a disturbance in the force - as if a billion short people cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced... well, I could never become a hardware geek. I am more of a software kind of geek. This could be due to my excessive clumsiness - I can't really handle, assemble or fix stuff, much to the irritation of my father who is very skillful with this sort of stuff (when anything breaks at home, he fixes it). But when it comes to software, I am pretty good with it. Sometimes I can almost feel what's wrong with something just by looking at it...

The first peripheral I should change is most likely the speakers - they seemed good when I bought them, but I've had lots of connection problems. At first one of them played too quietly or didn't play at all - fixed this by connecting and disconnecting the cable a few times (bad contact?). Works fine now, though I sometimes wonder if both speakers play at the same loudness.

Speaking of trying out new stuff - I decided to watch some cartoon show I hadn't before. Little hint - there are three versions of this thing, and I have watched the oldest one (from my childhood), and I am currently watching the second one (from your childhood), and then maybe I'll watch the newest one, which is fairly recent. Can you guess what show this is?
