Mostly a lurker, and I like it that way

In the main menu of Commander Keen 1: Invasion of the Vorticons, there's an option called "Previews!" (between "Ordering Info" and "Restart Demo"). First it shows a couple screenshots of the next two games. Then a text screen with more details appears. It can be scrolled up and down. At the very end there's a description of what would eventually end up as Quake. It was quite different from what we actually got. Only the "Quake" name survived, I think :)

Does anyone else remember the very original concept of Quake, as explained in the "Previews!" option in the main menu of the first Commander Keen?

  As our follow-up to the Commander Keen trilogy, Id Software is working on "The Fight for Justice": A completely new approach to fantasy gaming. You start not as a weakling with no food--You start as Quake, the strongest, most dangerous person on the continent. You start off with a Hammer of Thunderbolts, a Ring of Regeneration, and a trans-dimensional artifact. Here, the fun begins. You work for Justice, a secret organization devoted to vanquishing evil from the land! This is role-playing excitement!

  And you don't chunk around the screen. "The Fight for Justice" contains fully animated scrolling backgrounds. All the people you meet have their own lives, personalities, and objectives. A 256-color VGA version will be available (smooth scrolling 256-color screens--fancy that)!

  And the depth of play will be intense. No more "whack whack here's some gold." There will be interesting puzzles and decisions won't be "yes/no" but complex correlations of people and events.

  "The Fight for Justice" will be the finest PC game yet.

That "kummerspeck" ("sorrow bacon") really hits home, haha.

Attackers adopted over 1,500 orphan AUR package recipes, which are not official and are not Arch Linux packages.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right" (George Orwell, "1984")

But enough talk... Have at you!

Very misleading title. AUR "recipes" are NOT official Arch Linux packages. Basically anyone can upload stuff to the AUR. Users are expected to read and understand the AUR PKGBUILDs before trying to build them.

Finally, some common sense in this utterly absurd situation. I'm so glad this year's "fútbol" season ends this weekend. AFAIK, they don't break the Internet for Segunda División matches (yet!).

Better an open air museum than a cave of thieves, thank you.

She might not like it, but manga "piracy" _is_ free promotion, and always has been. Nobody would've ever heard of her manga outside of Japan if not for scanlation. "Piracy" gave her an international fanbase, for free.
