And duke nukem forever is still in the same state it was 5 years ago. In production, due to be released... someday... maybe. I added that in as a sort of attempt at humor. I know I'm not very good at it, but just pretend like it's funny and say 'ha ha' every once in a while and I'll feel placated.

i do believe you went a little over board yourself niteowl, he asked specifically for someone to "just pretend it's funny and say 'haha'".


see, a simple haha would've placated him, however, that overabundance of enjoyment that you displayed brought a rouse out of bob more than even he imagined possible.  i say, good job, and applaud your jolliness

So, Doom 3 has a story eh? How unfortunate that it's still "Demons from hell are on mars". Don't tell me that it's good, I haven't seen one good story from Id's direction yet. I'll believe it when I see it (assuming I buy the game).

DooM 3 will be moddable, it's not like Id just abandons a game post-release. They have many patches for years, and always release the mod source for much mod making. In fact, they release MORE source than VALVe does, you can actually do more with a Quake 3 mod than you can with a Half-Life mod.

Also, John Carmack said way back when that when DooM 3 comes out, he's going to release the ENTIRE source to Quake 3 under the GPL, as he did with Quake 2, Quake, DooM, and Wolfenstein.

I am soo gonna get this.

If you can't see the link because it gives you some "You do not have cookies enabled" error, it's just because Best Buy's site is screwy. Basically, it's a Radeon 9800 Pro for $170, after the $50 mail-in rebate. This is definitely what I am buying to upgrade my video card, especially at that price. The only thing left for me to do after I get it is decide what I want to do with my GeForce 2 mx after it's pulled out of my tower. Maybe tossing it in the bonfire at the weekly beach gathering I have with my friends would suffice. >:D

You know Grimm, i used to play CS on a TNT2 video card, with a 500 megahertz proc, on dialup.  if you'd a said that then, i'd have tracked you down, skinned you alive, then fed half the flesh on your bones to pigs while i ate the other half in front of your now lidless eyes...

Now that i've got a substantially better system, i can't say i'd do that any more.  But back in the day, man, it would been bad.



In other news, studies show hyperbole is over-rated, but not by much...

Ingrate.

And Sancho, I hope you're kidding. It's hard to tell with text. But I think you're kidding. How could you say that "good stories are highly overrated" and not be kidding? You couldn't. So you must be kidding. The lack of a smily just confused me. But ok, you're kidding. I can understand that. The storyline often makes or breaks a game. Marathon would only be a little better than the original Doom if it wasn't for the kick-ass storyline, which propels Marathon so far ahead that Doom can only be discerned by a faint, unholy glow in the rearview mirror. If Doom3 actually does well in the storyline department, then we're in for a treat, even though I'm no big fan of survival horror. If I see just one more scripted ambush...

Well, what else do you expect me to do with this old card? It really is terrible for gaming, every game made within the past few years I have to drop a lot of graphics quality to play without slowdown or choppyness. I can't even run the demo for Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, and the demo for Hitman Contracts is loads of choppy goodness.

Put it on your wall. Green is good for the eyes. Heck, my cousin has a very old two-megabyte "stick" of RAM hanging on his wall. It's roughly as big as a modern-day motherboard.
