There is a philosophy among some people in the community, that we should not implement the path of least resistance. Among the people in question, an unscientific determination has been made that the path should have added resistance, presumably for the purpose of weeding out weak, shallow, instant-

The geniuses behind Quake Live thought there were too many players, so they added an option to vote-kick people out of public servers. They use a sampler system to entice people into buying accounts, which has never worked and still doesn't, and yet, like insane people, they continue using it.

Does it bother any of you that so many QL players are delusional nutjobs? If you are better than someone else, you must be cheating. If you are warping, even if it's completely unintentional and beyond your control, you are a cheater who is worse than a serial killer. Maybe QL should devise

dear ID Software owners, dear esr readers, dear quakers, dear warsowians, My bet is that 2013 will be a great year for videogame, eSports, Fast Paced Shooters, and for the whole Quake scene, including Warsow. But first of all, as Warsow's founder, I'd like to tell my endless grati

So, you know, there was another school-shooting thing here. In this case, it would seem we have stepped into a 1990's timewarp, as all the old politician douchebag types who grew up in a golden pre-video-game age are now discussing the serious issue of video-games. Before a motive has even been

ZeRo4, [img1] 1) Complete player, ZeRo4 never had glaring weakness in his game like a lot of top players in early quake. He had the movement,timing,aim the complete package.He also competed at the highest level in CTF and TDM. 2) Longevity, ZeRo4 was competing back in the earliest days of Quak

This season is looking up to be the best one so far, with so many high level teams signing up it's going to be exciting to see who performs to their best, and who wishes the season to be over. Hopefully their won't be any dropouts and we have 9 weeks of pure TDM greatness ahead of us. Pred

This is going to be a short essay. For the first time after an event, I felt that staying quiet and think of the past days was the best I could do. I finally managed to put together a few paragraphs that I combined in this column. I know this event deserves more than what I could capture here, and h

Adroits in Enschede - a simple mans view I am pretty sure Memento Mori will write a literary masterpiece about the event but still I want to give you a little look into my weekend. It is Sunday , 11:33 and I am in the train back home to Germany already. I am really sad that i had to leave thi

From the 34 signed up clans I'm going to try and do a coherent guide to top clans contending for a spot in this season EuroCup XXVI. Mind you the list of clans this season is rather small and a maybe almost half of clans signed up should well be above requirements we think there are for playin

I sense something, a presence I've not felt since long time... I remember that over 10 years ago i played my first Quake 1 game ever in my school. Even if i played using only keyboard (yes, only forward, back, jump and turn left/right, no look up/down) i was stunned. We scream all over the

I first met the game in 2007, when I tested three different full conversion Quake III Arena modifications: OpenArena, World of Padman, and Warsow. Out of these three, Warsow stood the farthest from its predecessor. I found playing it fun, but it wasn't convincing enough to stick around, and the
