Just a little word of warning Nexuiz is highly GPU dependant if you want
the nice effects eg lags on my geforce fx 5600XT :-(

"All of Nexuiz is licensed under the GPL, including the core engine, the
textures, maps, sounds, and models. It is extremely modder friendly. Because
of its GPL license status, it can be included in any Linux distros or
packages and is entirely free.
Nexuiz is built on the power of the Darkplaces engine, which is a heavily
modified version of the original Quake. Darkplaces features realtime lighting
and stencil shadows, bumpmapping, gloss, bloom, and totally rewritten network
code that supports up to 64 players on a single server. While quality
gameplay was our primary goal, it's graphics technology and artwork allows
the game to compete with the current quality of commercial games."
And "Quake 3 Source Release Coming!"

"Hot off the presses folks, just announced moments ago, we've got awesome news
out of camp QuakeCon where Pappy-R has just left the QuakeCon Keynote with
John Carmack. The Quake III Arena source code will be released as soon as
they can put it all together! It was also noted that the release "will not
include any PunkBuster stuff in it". Watch for more news on the Q3 source
release as it comes in!"
I'm seriously thinking of a first-party plotter to be called "The Methane
Reclamation Act", starring various politicians plotting and planning to pass
a law to be called in short form, "The Methane Reclamation Act", to recover -
for fuel and greenhouse gas uses - the methane emitted daily by the average
citizen. The Sicillian Option allows one to murder your political opponents;
the Congressional Option allows you to bribe them; the Taiwan Option allows
you to mug them whether in or out of Parliament.
It looks as if it'll take the next eight hours for nexuiz to download ... ;^)
