I remember back in 2000 when I was living in my dorm at Florida State University, about ten of us would prop our doors open and load up Quake III and play hours of deathmatch. Now id Software is releasing it in a browser-based form called Quake Live. Poor college students should read up and prepare to lose days playing this free, but complete version of the game.

I had a chance to check out the Indiecade exhibit today at E for All. Maybe you’re hip to the indie scene: you’ve mastered Mr. Robot and been through the bullet hell of Jets ‘n’ Guns. If you’re like most gamers, though, you’re only passingly familiar with independent gaming. Well, it’s alive and well, and if you are looking for more experimental gameplay experiences or just need something to pass the time before “First-Person Space Shooter #644: Now with More Bullets and Also You Turn Into a Werewolf for No Raisin,” I’ve got some recommendations from the show floor.
