Gaming

RealRTCW 4.0 mod for Return to Castle Wolfenstein has a new update in August, big 4.0. Here is a showcase video of the changes and the Mod page itself. This mod is an absolute blast, and I went back to memory lane, especially to the catacomb level, which I have never beaten 20 years ago. Still freightens me to this day. Many graphical and gameplay improvements in this mod. You can use it with the GOG or the Steam version as well (Workshop supported). New language pack for Russian, Ukrainians and French languages (you have to install the mod first).

Btw, GOG sale is still going on, so you can grab Return to Castle Wolfenstein and many other games.

Unreal still feels… unreal. Especially the music.

Razörfist made a very good summary about the Gamescom event.
