Archiving the history of the video game Quake 2: created by id Software; customized by the Quake 2 community.
"While he's parted ways with Microsoft, Alex St. John still defends DirectX. He traveled to the Lone Star state to talk about APIs, software patents, 3D hardware, the best talents in the game industry, the volatility of plan files, politics, ethics, and the future of SGI's OpenGL with John Carmack and id's outspoken new programmer Brian Hook..."
"I knew right away he would be coming after me. So I changed my style and waited for him to come. Like I would trap him in a room, and then he’d be forced—because he was down—to be the one that comes around the corner and starts shooting. But I’d be shooting at the corner, so he had nothing to do but take the first shot in the face. That’s how I ended up winning."

"Don't play games with Bridget Fitzgerald. By day, Fitzgerald, 20, a mild-mannered pixie-looking student in baggy overalls, suffers for upwards of 13 hours strapped to a viola as a freshman at the Big Apple's world-renowned Juilliard School of Music... Fitzgerald — known online as Tonka — whispers, almost inaudibly: 'Who can I kill today?' That's her only warning to the soon-to-be smoking carcasses dumb enough to cross her path on the Net in the game Quake."
