SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."
Old school. IRC!

Generations was a spin-off of the Ressurection mod. The original had an Icon of a red "R" transposed over the green "Q" with the two bolts through the bottom. It had a long, exausting name and was commonly called ROTH, or something, meaning "the Ressurection of the Heroes" or something (pretty damn vague, eh?); they were shut down by iD themselves because they had violated copyrights/trademarks, including by making a complete CyberDaemon and the arena in which you fight him.
They had pleaded with iD for awhile before releasing the source code with changed names and altered models/skins to make it an obvious iD knock-off, and not a faithful reproduction.
Belive me, I followed this damn MOD to it's extinction.
