Doom III Takes E3 Awards
Talinom writes "This has just simply gone too far. CNN has a story that tells how the video game Doom III by id Software has won the "Best Of Show" award at the E3 convention about one year before its release. Does this mean that Duke Nukem Forever is overdue for its "Game Of The Year" award?" The awards site is E3Awards.com. I don't see how they can give an award called "Best Action Game" to something that doesn't exist as a playable game, but then again looking at the past awards I see Neverwinter Nights won in 2000... in 2001... and in 2002.
Then, boy, your game must suck.
Get a life, you overweight undersexed Linux-loser retards.
Doom III is just the same ugly girl with a lot more makeup.
The first one was only fun because it was new.
Please just let the series die.

Yo, VIP, Let's kick it!
Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby
All right stop, Collaborate and listen Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly Then I flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo -- I don't know Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.
Dance, Bum rush the speaker that booms I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly, when I play a dope melody Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, You better gain way You better hit bull's eye, The kid don't play
If there was a problem, Yo, I'll solve it Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
Now that the party is jumping With the bass kicked in, the Vegas are pumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point no faking I'm cooking MCs like a pound of bacon
Burning them if they're not quick and nimble I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
And a hi hat with a souped up tempo I'm on a roll and it's time to go solo
Rollin' in my 5.0 With my ragtop down so my hair can blow
The girlies on standby, Waving just to say Hi Did you stop? No -- I just drove by
Kept on pursuing to the next stop I busted a left and I'm heading to the next block
That block was dead Yo -- so I continued to A1A Beachfront Ave.
Girls were hot wearing less than bikinis Rockman lovers driving Lamborghinis
Jealous 'cause I'm out geting mine Shay with a gauge and Vanilla with a nine
Reading for the chumps on the wall The chumps acting ill because they're so full of "Eight Ball"
Gunshots ranged out like a bell I grabbed my nine -- All I heard were shells
Falling on the concrete real fast Jumped in my car, slammed on the gas
Bumper to bumper the avenue's packed I'm trying to get away before the jackers jack
Police on the scene, You know what I mean They passed me up, confronted all the dope fiends
If there was a problem, You, I'll solve it Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
Take heed, 'cause I'm a lyrical poet Miami's on the scene just in case you didn't know it
My town, that created all the bass sound Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill Feasible rhymes that you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed, This is a hell of a concept We make it hype and you want to step with this
Shay plays on the fade, slice like a ninja Cut like a razor blade so fast, Other DJs say, "damn"
If my rhyme was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while I kick my juice If there was a problem, Yo -- I'll solve it!
Check out the hook while Deshay revolves it.
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
Ice Ice Baby Vanilla, Ice Ice Baby Vanilla
Yo man -- Let's get out of here! Word to your mother!
Ice Ice Baby Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold
Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold, Ice Ice Baby Too cold Too cold
Games in moderation can be a good thing but the nature of Doomlike creations is to appeal to the basest of human instinct. I've seen it in me (I don't play them now) and in the children of friends. Set them up - let them play - watch the bloodlust form in their eyes. Watch the humanity drain from their faces.
The Romans had bread and circuses - we have TV and mindless, violent computer games. Do the Muslims have a point about condemning our corrupt society? The knee-jerk is "no!" - but look around, look at companies like ID that produce wonderfully realistic simulations of the most violent fantasies almost anyone can imagine. Kids, the Muslims have a point. If this is now our entertainment, perhaps we are reaping what we have sown.
Carmack and most TV executives are - in my opinion - heralds of the Apocalypse. It just may not be the Apocalypse as normally envisioned. Both do nothing but add to the deterioration of society whilst lining their pockets with your misguided cash.
And although I think everyone is ultimately responsible for their own actions (guns don't kill people...), I hold people like Carmack and ID at least partially responsible for events like Columbine.
Concerned and still Human (rare now, soon? well done)
