Rise of the Triad Source Code Released
Woody writes "3DRealms gave us an early Christmas present this year: they've released the complete Rise of the Triad source code in memory of William Scarboro, one of the game programmers who died earlier this year. The source is being released under the GPL, so everyone should be happy. If you ever played ROTT, you might remember that under all of the silliness and gore there was an incredible deathmatch and capture-the-flag element. Discussions are currently starting in the 3DRealms forums. Thanks, 3DRealms!"
This combines my two favorite things, RPGs and Lord of the Rings. I'm there.

For Trent LoTT
my penis rises. Fuck y'all.
--you have been trolled--
Rise of the Triad is arguably much, much worse than DOOM.
Do you think it's really a good idea to release such a violent game for free? Totally unregulated? At least if you're selling a game, you can check IDs and make sure the buyer is over 18...
I'm a little worried about what kind of psychological damage something like this could do to a little kid that stumbles upon this. We don't need another Columbine.
Dragging people kicking and screaming into reality since 1996.
It's called DOOM. BTW the ROTT code was released after GPL Quake, an obviously better 3d engine. In other words, ROTT code is not much of a Christmas present than a piece of Christmas trash, thrown away by the 3D Realms party.
judging by this comment and your sig... i'd advise you to not try and express yourself. i hope you don't think you are funny. . .

of using h-j-k-l to move in vi.

i: what do you do if you happen to want to use the letters h, j, k or l in the file you're editing?
ii: How do you exit vi?
