The I Drink Lava channel has now reached 500 subscribers! Thank you all for your support over these nearly two years. Originally, I was going to share "Corridors of Power" on this special occasion, but I have actually found a much better substitute courtesy of classic FPS fan "vertigo". It turns out that Raze _does_ offer limited support for Ion Fury.

Emphasis on limited, mind you.

Indeed, Ion Fury is in a barely-playable state as it is. The polymost renderer just can't handle Ion Fury and will often display entire areas as just black emptiness. The framerate is even worse than in eDuke32. Autosaves freeze the game for terrifying amounts of time. Most importantly, only 99% of the first Zone is playable. The game just freezes in time before the enemies spawn in. It's unfortunate, but at the very least it makes for a preview of the incredible sound that Raze's OpenAL Soft driver has to offer. The positional audio is leaps and bounds above the original Steam release, which often had issues localizing enemy weapon sounds. The ambient soundscapes can be heard in their full glory, and it's actually quite breathtaking to hear. It rivals Deus Ex in terms of immersive audio.

I can only hope that people from 3DRealms watch this video and take notes for how WRATH: Aeon of Ruin should sound.
