chad and I were playing around with running some of our half-life levels on a Hercules card [KyroII chipset] using the wrong drivers [Nvidia Geforce 2] . we suspected this might lead to something interesting, as they have very different ways of handling OpenGL. at first we thought the screen had hung, then it twitched into action, revealing slithers of the map we'd tried to load. we hit the strafe key and fragments of toothy texture peeled around our dyslexic camera. punching the air like heroes we dumped it onto DV while we fired a pistol into the splitting field and chatted to whatever distressed bots were in there. though the audio was good, we dressed it up further - I added a bedevilled midi theme piece to draw a closer relationship between the 'textile catalogue' nature of Max_Miptex and visions of the 'executive lounge' in the early 80's - when twisted willow, ebony vases and marlboro's were all ok.
we offer Max_Miptex as a kind of 'glitch machinima'.
