Quake Live

Here’s a little gem I screwed with a while back and may get back into with some local guys. It’s called Quake Live. You literally get to play Quake 3 through your web browser. No need to have the actual game. You just have to register a login on their site and get started. Currently, it supports most platforms out there so you can play it on a Windows PC, Mac, or Linux box. You can customize your settings through the web browser. Once you have done so, you can login from any computer and play with your settings any where, any time. It has a built-in stats system to keep track of your progess as well as they made their own in game achievement system if you are in to that sort of thing. Nice way to kill some time or hang out with some friends up for a few good first person shooter matches.
And let’s be honest, it’s Quake for Christ’s sake. Who wouldn’t have fun?!

Bah. For a second there I got excited by thinking it might actually work at school. Unsuprisingly, however, they have the site blocked. I’ll definately have to check this out when I get home, though.
