"Very soon, as soon as we have the Quake2 engine, in fact, we'll be building a walkthrough exhibit hall, and your statue will be standing on a pedestal for the world to see. The page as you see it now is only a temporary stepping stone until the Quake2 engine arrives. The reason we need the Quake2 engine is so that people will be able to invoke the web browser by shooting your statue, thus accessing your stats, as you see them on the sample page...If you have any questions about the museum, please browse http://www.mama.org/ first. MAMA is a member of AAM and many other museumology organizations, and is a proud part of the Northern California School System's in-classroom art education program. It also runs a childrens' art academy. You'll enjoy seeing this fascinating online and offline museum at work."

As John got older, "I told him lots of times that if he was ever going to make money with this stuff he'd need to be the head of a computing department," says John Schuneman, John's stepfather. "I kept telling him to get into the scientific uses for computers." John, now age 29, never did. He never finished college, or worked for a big company. But he kept his singular focus on games. And for the last five years his stepfather has been eating those words, with pride.

"Okay. Thinking about it I guess the following is a sort of Psteed FAQ. Feel free to include any of this in a Q2 FAQ. The questions and answers have been culled from my inbox and I've left out any names to protect the innocent. But if I do in some way offend someone it was completely intentional. Forgive any redundancy whether it's in this post itself or in a previous post by our illustrious info wranglers such as Redwood or Blue. Oh and BTW, DOESN'T OUR LITTLE GAME WE'RE WORKING ON KICK SOME MAJOR AND TOTAL ASS?!?!? Oh yeah. Thought you'd say that."
