And what printer. That's the most important component for performance in Nexuiz.

What fun it would be to use a printer for visual output instead of a CRT or LCD monitor. Imagine high-speed, high-resolution printing at 60 pps. This would make converting demos to video faster, since one could simply make a flipbook out of the printed pages.

A few years ago I went to the pub with Ernest Adams, a guy who used to work for EA and has written more computer games than I've played. He told me about the first computer game he made, a car racing game for 2 players on punch cards:

1. The program punch cards were fed into the machine in turn
2. Each player had a punch card on which they would encode the characteristics of their car like gear ratios and wing angles and each would feed their card in
3. The two players would wait by the printer for the computer to randomly generate a course, calculate the cars maximum speeds around it and print out which player had won.

You know, that actually sounds like a better game than anything EA has put out the last couple of years.
