Quake 4

[Michael Butash]

I got the deb package day-of and have it running on my system, but 
haven't been able to do much as I wasn't chosen for the beta, and it 
flags you as such, aborting the app.  I can still get on their 
messenger/im, but I don't know anyone on steam or cared much being a 
windoze walled garden to now.

It did work pretty flawlessly I was surprised to see, at least until 
getting to actually launch a game.
