I started online gaming with Quake 2 right before Quake 3 was released. I was such into Quake 2 that I really didn't enjoy the gameplay in Quake 3. It seemed like an upgrade in graphics but a downgrade in gameplay. I'm not here to debate which game is better because since then I have gained respect for Quake 3.

Since then I was anticipating the arival of Quake 4, never really sure when it would come out. Years passed and there was still no Quake 4, Between my time of my Quake 2 addiction and the Quake 4 release I gave dozens of games a try and had my share of fun with those games, but at heart I've always been a quake player.

Quake 4 has finally been released and it couldn't of been a much worse time. I graduated from a 2 year college in 2003. I decided to go back to college this year. Now I'm starting my first year at WVU and I'm super poor and I haven't played an online game since july. My priories now are; school work, parties and girls.

It's so weird how you can quickly change... one minute I would do anything to play Quake 4 and now I just don't have the motivation to even save up $60 and buy it and even if I did buy it would it even be able to fulfill my expectations?
