Falling under the free-to-play, ad-supported business model, Quake Live is about as terrific as you could have hoped for. While it's essentially just Quake III Arena in your browser, that's more than enough to satisfy me and I'm sure many of you too.
Starting on Tuesday, February 24, id Software will be allowing any and all interested gamers to play the Quake Live beta. There's even a nice little Web site complete with a countdown for the occasion.
A word of warning: all stats will be wiped on Tuesday, and anyone who was involved with the closed beta but has failed to play in the last 28 days will lose their account. Which reminds me, I should probably go jump in a quick match sooner than later.

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Except for its lack of mod support, which is understndable given the circumstances.
I, for one, welcome the return of our old deathmatch overlords.
Now to remember to check that site in a few days...
hope to see you all in the open beta.
