: : What is wrongwith quake ?
: : tell me.... ?

: The problem with Quake is that it is a DRUG, not a game.
: In my 3rd year at college, my roommates were Quake addicts - it was sad, they put their social lives and studies behind it. Many freshmen, in fact, drop out of universities because of it. Quake has turned many potential great coding/drawing/tracking minds into zombies.

There is absolute nothing wrong with Quake it self, the problem lays in when you play Quake over the network, coz the game want to have
smooth movements for all players playing the game, which then will take all bandwidth . That makes all other users on the network
to lag. That's why i think most ppl hate Quake players, well, all does not hate them, but most ppl want the network to be used for other
things than games like Quake or something....
