Transmission T²: If Quake Was Made Today

Please return to the battlefield.

For all the flak that gamers of today give old school games in reference to graphics and confusing plot lines, today’s games are actually a massive step back with regards to skill.  Today’s games often have no set amount of lives (and often no penalty for dying), “helpful hand-holding hints” that make games easy enough for toddlers, and plots that run about as deep as a kiddie pool.  Image a game like Quake, made today with today’s intrusions into the gaming experience included?  Now you do not have to, because thanks to YouTube user Kmoosmann we have a video reference.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.
