Help Wanted
Last month I wrote about an important security update, and we were lucky that the news was spread far and wide but many players still didn’t see it.

VOIP Support in SVN
Lets examine two quick points: Hardcore gamers like choices. Hardcore gamers like VOIP. Based on these theories, ioquake3 is adding VOIP support for the next release. This internal support is going to bring along with it support for (entirely optional) Mumble positional VOIP audio. More nerd-speak after the break, the short and quick of it is,…
