By god, do I love Unreal Tournament 2004. They don’t make them like this any more. But it’s not just the name. It’s the attitude, like a low bitrate voice saying “holy shit” when you max out the graphics settings. It’s the way I can die, respawn and instagib a bot in the space of a single breath.

Months ago I found’s manic pace and the occasional afternoon instagib sessions we’d have at the office when I first joined PC Gamer. But after a couple afternoons poking around dead message boards trying to find the right files and instructions to run a dedicated server, I gave up. The information was just too fractured, and my Linux command line skills were too poor. Even if I’d gotten a server running, I wouldn’t have been able to configure it to my liking.
