If you maintain a fleet of corporate Windows PC's like myself, you may have had to configure the Windows 10 Start menu so it looks the same for everyone by default and has corporate apps pinned as tiles. This consisted of generating an .xml file from the Export-StartLayout PowerShell cmdlet, copying said .xml file across to each machine on the network via Group Policy, and telling Windows to point to that file for it's Start menu configuration (well that's how I did it at least).

Microsoft has decided that is no good for Windows 11. Now if you want to configure the Start menu, you're suggested to use Microsoft's very own Microsoft Endpoint Manager, which of course isn't free. Hmm.

At the beginning of 2020, I was just trying to process the catastrophe that was the ‘19/‘20 summer bushfires which had laid waste to much of the bush land near my home on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. The village I live in was luckily unaffected, but people living in surrounding towns and regions weren’t so lucky. Our landscape was to forever be changed, and I was only beginning to come to terms with the reality of such devastation.

This guide will show you how to set up everything on your Windows computer so you can run Quake using the modern Vulkan-based source port, vkQuake.

This guide will show you everything you need to do to get TrenchBroom up and running in Windows so you can create and compile Quake maps.

This is a comprehensive guide which shows you how to download, install and use the right software on Windows to compile TrenchBroom from source.

I'm a bit late on this one, but I thought I'd drop a link over to the yearly awesome-as-ever Xmas Jam map pack. Check out the Quaddicated page or download the zip directly.

Cruising around the internet can uncover some weird , wonderful and obscure things. Luckily for us, one of those things is a "clone" of Quake in the form of a 13KB JavaScript game, playable right in your web browser called Q1K3.
