Ahhhh, a fellow Reznor fan! I didn't find NIN until my teens, then I went back and played Quake and saw the nail gun ammo box! That's how I found out he did the soundtrack. Awesome video, often thought about getting an old Pentium again myself.
@@bigbeigebox I need to see them live! The production value and the perform is said to be amazing! I've relegated for now to buying the vinyls where I can! (Which by the way, if you haven't they did a gooooood job with all of them so far. Waiting for Halo 17 - Stills to come out!)
I’ve been on the lookout for a CRT but working ones are getting rare and expensive, I remember when LCDs became popular and you couldn’t give CRTs away 😖
I love this video. It feels so nice and cozy. You put in so much effort into the editing and your commentary is so soothing. It really brings me back and reminds me why I love Quake...
I played so much Quake and Quake Tournament. It was so fun getting everyone over to my place, connecting up on a bodged network that ran throughout my apartment, eating pizza, drinking soda, blasting each other to bits in QT.
Quake looks really good in software mode, it's got a great grungy/crunchy feel to it. It's like the whole art of the game "works" in sofware rendering while it's just a little too clean in the higher fidelity of hardware accelerated mode.
I think it's perfectly acceptable to play Quake on Normal instead of Nightmare since we don't need to hear the endless clanging sound of Ogres spamming grenades. ;)
My parent’s second computer when I was growing up was a packard bell pentium 200 mmx, before that we had an 8mhz 8086 from the late 80s, so that mmx machine seemed amazing
I didn't recognize the channel name when i saw a new video in my subscription list. But instantly recognized the voice. Good video, mate! Looking forward to the next one!
I'm a bit late to the party, so you may have already resolved this, but CD-DA was transmitted to the host one of two ways (and it might have been Win98 where the second way was introduced). It was either over a dedicated audio cable from your CD-ROM to your sound card, or.... as CD-DA data over the IDE bus.
I think I had issues in the win 95 days, hard to be sure though, it was a loooong time ago 😅 that could well have been why my pc had issues with cd audio back then though
@@bigbeigebox he made UK garage using sounds sampled from old games like metal gear solid, not on a daw on a plain audio editor. Kind of like the Banksy of organic sounding sampled stuff
His body of work is a bit mental and all over the place, not all of it works (bit like aphex twin for me at least), but there's some great stuff in there. You'll have heard Untrue I reckon.
one guy fixed that ending animation lol
Back in the days I was playing the 1996 Quake Demo on a AM486 DX4 @ 100 MHz with 16 MB of Ram. It was running on DOS in 320x200x8.
Nice, I’ve heard quake can run on a 486, but never seen it for myself. A DX4 100 based machine is on my retro wish list

Yes! Trent and NIN are awesome, and it's such a good sound track. I saw NIN live earlier this year, and they're still amazing

There is something special to play Quake with the hardware of that time, without any sourceports or filtering. Pity you couldn't find a crt also

Thank you so much, that means a lot as I put way more effort into this video than I should have 😆

Totally agree, GLQuake never looked quite right to me, especially the spherical explosions
such a great intro, and a cv11 reference, great work!
Thanks!
The first minute of this video alone earned my subscription
Thanks! The first minute took like 99% of the time and effort, so I"m rally happy you liked it 😄

A pentium 2! With mmx technology?
My first computer was a 200mhz pentium 2… with mmx technology
My parent’s second computer when I was growing up was a packard bell pentium 200 mmx, before that we had an 8mhz 8086 from the late 80s, so that mmx machine seemed amazing
The start of this is like alternative universe The Streets where Mike Skinner is into Quake 2 rather than rizlas and soap bar
That’s exactly what I was going for 😂
@@bigbeigebox bang on the money then in that case, love it

Love the Civvie reference! You got my sub! :P
Thanks! I'm glad someone got the Civvie reference, I'm a huge fan of his channel 😊

Very nice intro
Thanks! 😄
Quake minimum requirements on release was a 486. I was running it on the schools' PCs. Of course a Pentium ][ will run it?!?
Yeah, the PC was definitely “technically” capable, but you never know with old, cheap, used computers that have a habit of not booting up 😅
@@bigbeigebox Iv'e got ya, I have a couple old one's - I want get a couple win95 PCs going since it was my first OS, but it is a pain for sure.
That intro... You're Burial aren't you?
I had to google who Burial is, and now I’m intrigued, gonna give it a listen 😄
