Title: Media sightings
Post by: fromhell on January 11, 2007, 10:15:34 PM
I figured OpenArena is popular enough I figured i'd make this thread for any sightings, hearings of this in any media.

To start things off, zakk pointed out in Games for Windows 1/12/2007's podcast (http://gfwradio.1up.com/) that OpenArena was mentioned 12 minutes in, and is talked about in the last two minutes.

This free-software Czech site has a very positive review of OpenArena.

I mentioned it in a listing of free multiplayer games (http://www.gamecron.com/node/90) that I wrote in my blog a few weeks back.  I hope to do a full review soon.

ahh, yeah, I see now.  Nothing against Warsow, but I can't believe that made it in over Open Arena

with a proper 0.8.0 release some kind of new digg article (http://digg.com/software/OpenArena_Free_Quake_3_Arena_GPL) should be prepared.

Yeah but digg isn't a third party source of articles - just links, and a short description.

Check out the other AfDs above them, which also happen to be mods... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Deletion#August_2_.28AfD.2C_CfD.2C_TfD.2C_MfD.29)

I used to see OA a lot on linux sites and I think it may have been in Linux Journal a few months back, it's cool to see people talking about it :)
