3D First-Person Games, So Far

Posted by timothy on from the run-duck-shoot dept.

Gernot Ziegler writes: "One of my professors (Stefan Gustavsson) has written a good summary that explains the history & technical background/innovations that Doom, Quake & Unreal brought with them when they were released. Check it out." It's a pdf file. Gustavsson ends with a list of hopeful questions about where such games can go, after nearly a decade of running and violence. What I'd really like to see is a goal-free 3D world like the Snowcrash Metaverse, but it will take games to get there ;)

  1. What grade is this guy in? by CaseyB · · Score: 1, Troll
    Not a bad attempt for that grade 8 composition assignment, but why are we peer-reviewing elementary-school essays on /.?

    Beside the obvious factual problems (starting with DOOM?), the grammar makes my brain hurt.

    Who gave this guy his Ph.D? I can even write more coherantly than him, and it is rumored that I am an idiot. I bet he got his degree from the same place I took my TV/VCR Repair courses. Yah for academia!

    Can anybody here recommend some good ones? I hear fucking an eggplant is pretty cool...

      Hmm. I've never tried the eggplant thing.

      The ever popular warm apple pie could be cool, although I've never wanted to waste a pie just to try it.

      Probably the coolest I've ever come up with is one of those "four foot" balloons (the long kind that are about a foot long not inflated). You cut the ends off of it, stretch it out in a length of PVC pipe that is wide enough that your cock doesn't rub the sides (don't let the hardware store guy catch you checking on sizing for this particular application, measure at home). You lube it up with your favorite choice of lube (Wesson oil works OK mixed with butter and a touch of water), warm it up by holding it under warm water, place it in a soft cushioned area (Between two pillows?) and fuck to your heart's content. Add another one to the end opposite you are fucking and you don't have to worry about catching the "run-off" either. Then there is the "hose suck" attachment that you can make that allows you to get a real good suction action very like a tight lucious blow job. You just seal up the end and attach a hose to it and suck as you place your penis at the end of it. Suck/blow/suck/blow and it bounces up and down on your cock until you blow. If you are truly sick, I suppose you could even suck up your cum that way. I hear there are pumps made that can handle the action for you now, although you don't want any cum getting in them.

      There's also the "pasta fuck" method, which I saw described here at one time, but I never had the urge to try that as I was married by the time I read it. But the balloon in PVC pipe thing worked really well for me before I was married. And, if you are too lazy to do that you could always buy one of those nice "ass and pussy" models that the sex shops sell. About $100 and you get a fairly life-like pussy. But you have to clean them pretty good when you are done. The balloon method allows you to just toss the balloon and replace it when it gets dirty.

      Good luck to you. Finding a good masturbation technique is rather difficult. Remember: Panty hose work in a pinch.

    Metaverse? HAH! The metaverse is for SISSIES. You keep your little foofoo avatar playground Timmy. I want a DELIVERATOR so I can deliver pizza's in 20 minutes or less in *style*. That or I get whacked by the mob.

    Little Johnny came home from school one day slightly confused.His mother was Jewish and his father was black. So Johnny says, "Mum, am I more Jewish or more black?"
    "What does it really matter? You'll just have to ask your father", his mother tells him.
    So Johnny's father gets home from work and Johnny asks the same question,"Dad, am I more Jewish or more black?"
    "What kind of a question is that, does it really matter? Why do you want to know if you're more Jewish of black?" asks his dad.
    "Well, it's like this dad. Tommy down the street wants to sell his bicycle for $50, I don't know whether to talk him down to $25, or wait till its dark and steel the fucking thing!"
