All that chunky goodness 3D Realms is teasing a brand shooter built on the originalQuakeengine. Set to reveal tomorrow, the possibilities are endless for what this new game might be.

I have so many ideas for one myself J. R. R. Tolkien famously wrote his kids a series ofChristmas Letters, telling the story of a far away land inhabited by Santa and a hilarious creature called “the North Polar Bear.” He also completely one-upped pretty much every parent thus far in history in the process, and has probably held the crown since.
