I used to be into Quake a bit , havn't played it for ages though, and generally don't play many computer ganmes now, the Play station is gathering dust .
Maybe its a sign of the aging process, that games don't really interest me much today, prefer more outdoor pursuits today.

Afaik it all started from quake, My brother was one of the first 50 members on boards, always remember him playing quake over dial-up and then complaining when he wouldn't let me play it.
