It’s not uncommon for me to get asked on Twitter (when I was active there) why we don’t unit test games? They then go on to call me a jerk face and tell me I make stupid games.

The theming felt very fresh for Quake at the time, taking notes (and maybe a few textures) from Unreal. Why are these textures like this?! The texture theme is also a bit of an in-joke within the mapping community. There was gossip about whether McGee was being inflexible, or whether these Aztec textures really were so bad.
