The Quake 2 community — featuring player’s philosophies, revisiting the websites of Quake 2 clans, and returning to the scenes of all-night LAN parties — here are the human stories behind the game. Thank you to so many people, all around the world, who have made and continue to make Quake 2 the most fun game to play on Stroggos — and Earth! You are appreciated.

The Finest and Funniest Quake Clan in Austria: Des Fröhlichen Kasperls Klan — Ennsomnia 2001

On By DondeIn Community, The Quake 2 communityLeave a comment

"Der Gründungsgedanke war Fun, Fun, Fun, wir hatten nie die Absicht zur absoluten Spitze zu gehören und dennoch konnten wir einige schöne Erfolge feiern. Dieser Gedanke lebt noch heute in uns fort, auf den vielen internen und auch auf den Szenetreffen zeigten wir, dass der Spass regiert. Mehr als ein Jahr ist seit der Gründung vergangen, vieles hat sich seither verändert, Leute kamen und gingen wieder, doch fKK ist mitgliederstark wie nie zuvor in diesen Tagen. Ich hoffe noch auf langes Bestehen und eine ertragreiche Zukunft. Long live fKK, Austria's finest and funniest Quake Clan!!"

"A rede ocorreu dos dias 9 a 11 de julho (sexta a domingo), e foi realizada num galpão situado em Pinheiros, bairro de São Paulo. Esse era um galpão que estávamos também testando pois pretendíamos realizar a QuakeNet 3 lá mas queríamos saber como o local se "comportaria" - no que diz respeito a vizinhança, localização, espaço, etc."

"Alexis Ohanian is an activist, tech investor, and the co-founder of a little website called Reddit which saw more than 208 Million unique visitors in September of 2015. The Brooklyn based tech mogul is also an advisor at the legendary startup accelerator program Y Combinator. When not working, Ohanian is known for his work on both digital rights - becoming a major voice in the 2012 protests against internet focused Congressional legislation - and human rights, with his volunteer work in Armenia. Fusion sat down with Ohanian to discuss Metallica, Quake, inequality, and the future of the internet."

"Imagine uma rede gigante, com muitos micros, muitos jogos e a possibilidade de ficar 24hs/dia conectado diretamente com seus amigos lado a lado. Melhor ainda, veja esta rede: Foram 3 dias ininterruptos, 150 quakers, centenas de partidas e uma QUAKENET/2 inesquecível para todos aqueles que compareceram ao maior evento de Quake já realizado até hoje!"
