Quake 2 AbSIRD Project


Q2Absird 15Hat’s off to Lewey Geselowitz. I never played Quake 2 — believe it or not, I was a Deep Space 9 guy — but this is the coolest mod I’ve seen for a game yet. Crazy, crazy — I actu­ally expect a dragon to pop out, or an Amer­i­can eagle, or Pamela Anderson.


Quake II AbSIRD is a mod­i­fi­ca­tion of the stan­dard Quake II ren­der­ing engine so that it can cre­ate SIRDS instead of nor­mal 3D envi­ron­ments. This means that you can play Quake II just as you nor­mally would (sin­gle player, net­work play, most mods, etc) except all the 3d objects and char­ac­ters will jump out at you with the full 3D power of SIRDS.”


Jump out, yeah. I still can’t quite fig­ure out how your visual acu­ity is affected by mutants with chain­saws. I know my reac­tion time ain’t that great.
