Yesterday Google released a video of their engineers playing Quake II using Safari without using plugins. The Engineers used some of their 20% time to test the limits of HTML5. Their results were an HTML5 port of Id’s Quake II game engine! Normally I would not do a post on video games, but this game is programmed and setup to run via a web browser using HTML5. Run Quake II as the Google Guys set it up shows the potential of HTML5 and the future of web design.  Running Quake II  with HTML5 will only run on “modern browsers” such as Safari and Google Chrome.
