ARENAS, a Doom and Quake Movie


Visit the Official site

Doesn't matter if you play ID Software's games since the first Doom in 1993 or if you tried QuakeLive for the first time some days ago: if you like Doom and Quake worlds, you MUST see ARENAS !
And the more you know those worlds, the more you will find absolutely great this work: it takes charachters, artifacts, sounds and maps from Doom, Doom 3, Quake, Quake II, Quake III Arena, Quake IV and QuakeLive, to compose a 70 minutes movie with a charming and coherent story and an amazing animation.

Simply the best fanmade movie ever seen (even better than Dead Fantasy, imho).

Available on YouTube in 11 high-definition single episodes (from 0 to 10), with intro and credits on each one, or in a 480p-70mins whole movie (named "episode 11"), with some deleted footage mixed in.

A BIG thanks to the director Joe Goss and to all the people who worked on it for bringing this pearl to life.

God Speed guys,

IDDQD.

The best Text Editor ?

...once was UltraEdit, no doubt. But you had to pay it sixty bucks.
Then PSPad came. And it was (is) freeware and very good.
But the excellence was reach when a GPL, open source product saw the light: Notepad ++.
Today, lots of people are using N++, considering it the best free text editor for Windows out now, and i guess they're right.

This comparison will show you why:

Notepad++ has code folding, automatic multiple highlighting, column mode, a very rich choice of languages for code-coloring, can compare files in an elegant way, and so on... in addition, it uses a very low amount of memory to work, and it's fast like hell.

Downloading the hex plugin (just copy it into your "Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins" folder), it can hex-edit too (Article on Hex Editor Plugin: )

Let's give it a try, i don't think you will ever come back ;)

Official Notepad++ site:

P.S: It lacks of FTP / SSH connectivity, but do you really need such kind of things on a text editor ? Filezilla is there for that ;)
