First MNF! W00t! -- 9:15 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I think I'm going to enjoy the new Monday Night Football tandem of John Madden and Al Michaels. Actually, I'm just glad to see football again so I can forget about the neverending saga that is baseball and to tide me over until hockey season starts. This also means that it is almost time for Eeyore and my weekly NFL picks! I bet you just can't wait, can you.

UT2K3 Chat Log -- 9:26 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

In the Infogrames forums there was posted a chat log with Mark Rein discussing Unreal Tournament 2003. Most interesting to me were the comments on the possibility of a Linux client. Here's the scoop (I just yanked Rein's answers to the various questions about whether or not there would be a Linux client):

Unsure if there will be a Linux client for UT2003 or not
Linux server planned, uncertain about Linux client
I would think a Linux client will happen eventually. I'd like to see one myself.
We've already ported UT2003 over to Linux on the server side. There will likely be a client but no promises.
That was UT, this is UT2003. UT was designed around software rendering and Glide. We have designed this particular game (and hence the latest versions of the engine) around Direct3D and they work really, really well together. This time around we would have to work really hard to get OpenGL to be as fast as D3D. We are doing OpenGL (needed for Linux client and Mac down the road if we do it) but it is not a priority and probably won't be ready and debugged well enough in time for retail release.

I believe that Daniel Vogel still works for Epic. He was responsible for a lot of the Linux port of the original UT. If there is a Linux client, I'll probably buy the game on general principle :)
