Ok, so bare with me on some get me up and running noobish questions. Remember I haven't touched a game or a computer in a long how old am I now haha time. To make is a little less distasteful I've added a link to watch before digging into my post www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvhIUObC4Xg
Picked up a pc the other day, interesting experience that was, what happened to win 98 hahaha Its low end but should do the job for now until I scrape a few bucks together and get myself established techie wise again on a practice machine.
Question 1 -
Have Q2 + ( Q3 an Q4 which I never got play ) on order from ebay, did some searching around about getting q2 up and running on an xp system but there seems to be a lot of differing opinions. So I come to the group or individual that wishes to assist me, what is the best format for getting Q2 working and running smoothly on a win xp machine also is anyone who still plays the game still playing it in its pure form or is there one specific port everyone is using now?
Along with this are there any mods that are still being played out there ( ones I am interested in are ) Rocket Arena, Lithum ohhhh that was fun when it was rail only , truthfully though I would prob be up for anything
Question 2 -
Most current server browser everyone is using for Q2?
Question 3 -
Best quake 2 mapping program to use with in xp that will work ( gotta make that dream come true of making my own map and seeing if anybody would play it haha )
Some direction pointing on a couple tutorals might be a little helpful just to get me started.
Question 4 -
While falling asleep, I found myself smiling about some old quake 2 memories that came flooding back. Then I had a fun idea of making a quake 2 movie which would be a combination of my quake 2 experience and my backpacking traveling the world experience. I think it was Keygrip or something like that people were using back in the day, ..any recommendations what would work or still work in an xp world.
Question 5 - Anybody remember there use to be this dude from Aus I think it was, that ran a Q2 trick jump site, can't for the life of me remember his name or the sites name.
I guess that's it for now, ..did some surfing through all the threads or atleast a fair % of them, wow talk about bringing back memories. I can already feel my head pounding from how deep in to the game I was. I need a smoke
Anyone remember the radio shows from www.clanx-d.com/ the first one cracked me up, boy doesss that bring back memories!!! There radio shows might be worth downloading and storing away here on the site. Actually met Rogan, dude is a hoot!!!!
Anyhow thanks for any help to whoever offers it. Oh ya, anyone here playing on Quake Live, what do they think worth it? Saw Julios is still kicking around on there, anyone remember him from Q2?

Just to be nostalgic anyone know where I might be able to pick up an old kick ass win 98 gaming rig or anyone here interested in building me one, I'd pay a fair price for it.
