You kids and your satanic, violent video games! Repent now, stop this filth! Jesus loves all of you!

H..Hold up, a fiend is giving me a violent colonoscopy, I gotta slap him down. 

you wrote fiend, i read friend 

During a blue moon. 

The SDK will include one map with a buggy vehicle. Fred Nilsson mentioned that a monster can get stuck under the vehile's wheels.

hmmm........ I wonder if that's a, "buggy vehicle" or a BUGGY vehicle :)

Other stuff

There are bbout 780,000 lines of code in Doom3. 200,000-300,000 lines will be released.

Doom3 patches will be available for download as a stand alone file and through the game's auto update system.

The SDK will include one map with a buggy vehicle. Fred Nilsson mentioned that a monster can get stuck under the vehile's wheels.

The first Doom3 patch is reasonably close to being done. It will not fix any connectivity issues but rather Multiplayer exploits.

Games are being made using the Doom3 engine that support twenty-four players.

"And a demo of the game for skeptical gamers who demand hands-on time before spending $55 is "imminent". At the latest, said Hollenshead, it should be released next week, with two or three hours worth of gameplay."

When I used to use old compilers that came with Worldcraft 1.6, plus the Ken Alverson qbsp with trans water and hipnotic ents, I saw the number 666 scroll slowly up WC's compile window so often I've become convinced someone at some time added a 'feature' to occassionally spout Satan's very own ZIP code arbitrarily into any given compile output.
I really did see it a lot, though now I use aguiRe's tools my map output has been cleansed.
The Devil is a gentleman, they say, though I can't say I've met the bloke. It's coders that I worry about... 

:P 

That's quite freaky.

On another (not very similar) note, I once had a spooky experience years ago. I was playing Quake on an old Pentium 75 laptop - I had just cleared The Dismal Oubliette with 100% kills, and I was in the final room where you grab the rune after killing the vores. I was just about to exit the level when I heard a Vore's attack sound. I whipped round with a "WTF?" reflex reaction, ready to nail this bastard that I had somehow missed, but there was no-one there. I pulled the console down - 100% kills, like I thought. Puzzling. Again I heard the Vore - its idle sound this time. I moved back into the chamber with the lowering floor, as that was where the sound seemed to come from. I waited for a bit...and waited...nothing. My imagination perhaps? Then suddenly, the phantom Vore once again taunted me with it's shrill battle cry, causing me to nearly fall backwards off my chair. I gathered myself, calmly exited the game, put the kettle on, and watched some telly. 

maybe in my next map, i'll have monster sight sounds play randomly. :P 

necros, i think thats actually a really good idea, it would build tension.

its certainly worth a one-off try at. 

I've already done that 

's truth. 

didn't remember. x.x 

i am back from hawaii and i want to eat your souls et al 

Hawai ?? Really ?? Are you a surfer / windsurfer / kitesurfer to haves holiday in Hawai ?? I'm so jalous not to spend my holiday there... grrrr... i hate you... ;-) 

... I'm so jalous just because it's my dream to ride Hawaian windsurf spot... not more... 

You've just been on holiday for three weeks - don't get greedy ;) 

You are right, I don't have to be greedy.... but Hawai is THE ultimate destination for a respectable windsurfer... and for sure, when I will be a "grown-ups", I will have a trip to Hawai !! ... just hoping I will win enough money to pay the travell... grrrr... 

I haven't managed a holiday in three years. 

Kinn, I couldn't imagine any second that a man can work for a so long time without having holidays !! So, I agree: I can consider myself lucky compared to you... But you know: there is a life after job... Holidays never kill somebody... just think about it... 

I have the game woohoo!!

Now, I want to know how to prepare my system for it. What I'm aiming for is 1024x768, steady 30 FPS, and then the highest settings I can have, preferably 2xAA, and no bloody graphical glitches.

System is:

P4 2.8 GHZ
1 GB Ram
Radeon 9800Pro 256 meg
Windows XP

Everything generally working fine.

Are there any tweaks, tips, tricks, driver updates, setting changes etc etc that I should do/change to get the best out of D3??
