*sigh* another cliche shot down.
No need to splurge on sunscreen this year - I won't be outside except to go buy more beer!
I had such plans for the summer: Regular cardio excercize, some hacking on a project or two, social interaction... AND NOW ID IS LOCKING ME IN MY BASEMENT WITH DOOM III I wonder how much productivity FPSes have stolen from our lives?

now was that Duke Nukem Forever or Did Not Finish?
"Sanity is not statistical", George Orwell, "1984"
there will be a game that uses this fine engine. Untill then we'll just have to poke at the demo app that ID is including with the runtime.
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
In the third level of the game, when you're going through the ruins of 3D Realms' corporate headquarters, type "idd3d" and you'll get to play Duke Nukem Forever.
No, seriously! I swear!
It's the vaccuum in my bank account, left after I withdraw enough to buy a new video card that can handle Doom III.
BLING BLING. Meet the architecture that's changing everything.
Its the first of the signs of the Apocalypse:
Doom III appears;
then Duke Nukem Forever gets a release;
then Hell Freezes Over;
then Taco actually checks slashdot before posting another dupe;
Then the world is destroyed in a great conflagration, the dead rise, the Messiah returns, four Horsemen, yadda, yadda, yadda
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
That can't be right. I thought the Duke Nukem Forever release was defined as the last discrete event to happen before the universe collapses completly.
"Prefiero morir de pie que vivir siempre arrodillado!"
Duke Nukem Forever jokes just aren't funny anymore. Sorry off-topic.
I don't know either, but I imagine beowulf cluster of these.
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
No cooperative for PC? Is this some kind of sick joke?
How will people ever learn to work together like the Amish if we don't have cooperative multiplayer?!?
.. to update your .finger with some techno-babble. We love it!
(I'm serious, it's been ages, and the new cards he talked about in 2003 are now here, NDA-free)
Belief is the currency of delusion.
It's like a wet dream come true.
I believe that's called "Sex".
Trolling is a art,
I heard he left the project to work on a new album.
What new album? Don't listen to that Trent fanboy bullshit. He won't be making anything new.
I believe they are similar to those recently announced for the next version of Windows.
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
Kitchen sink? Nah. It'll just require the same machine it takes to run longhorn ;)
Everything I need to know I learned by killing smart people and eating their brains.
HL2 would win, nerds (Gordon Freeman) always win when they're in a game/movie about fighting big hulking men.

Doom III this summer, GTA San Andreas this fall... ugh, my girlfriend's gonna leave me.
"Derp de derp."
I guess a Mac version won't be too far behind if there will be a Linux version.
Yah biaatch, thats how it should be. Mac behind Linux!
That can't be right. I thought the Duke Nukem Forever release was defined as the last discrete event to happen before the universe collapses completly.
Nah.. Thats not possible. They need more time.
i cant seem to come up with a sig.
Non no no....that's just the demo.
Activision has also announced that they will be releasing this summer next fall. In its place, look for a rerun of winter 1986, and a short period during which we will have no weather at all, and will probably die.
tell me of this "Sex", oh wise one.

I'd just like to pipe up and say that you are the first person on the internet to spell the word "discrete" properly. "Discreet" means "secret," folks. :)
And to think John Carmack is competing for the X-prize on the side.
He's trying to get of the planet...I think he knows something we don't and his games are an attempt at a warning
I'm sure you and your one button mouse will pwn!
That can't be right. I thought the Duke Nukem Forever release was defined as the last discrete event to happen before the universe collapses completly.
No, no, no, you silly man. First, Duke Nukem Forever get released. Then Slashdot reports on it in an accurate and grammatically correct manner and in a manner adherent to highest ethos of journalistic reporting, and without a biased editorial rant/slant thrown in, AND they promise not to dupe the story. THEN the the universe collapses.
Oh, great. Now the spelling nazis are replying to examples of good spelling too.
Although thinking about it, that might be a more efficient way to do things on slashdot.
How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
Duke Nukem FOREVER - thats how long until the game comes out.
I mod down so you can mod up. Your welcome.

lol mac defenders rule
Wow, you mean just like the FIRST DOOM?
Not at all! Half-Life's secret base is underground, but DOOM's secret base was in outer space. Totally, completely different things.
I am sooo disappointed!
I am very small, utmostly microscopic.
they're trying to promote a kinder , gentler image of a grammer nazi.
how else would you stop the player from swimming out into the ocean?

When Jane initially met Tarzan of the Jungle, she was immediately attracted to him, and during her questions about his life, she asked him how he had sex.
"Tarzan not know sex," he replied.
Jane explained to him what sex was.
Tarzan said, "Oh... Tarzan use hole in trunk of tree."
Horrified, she said, "Tarzan you have it all wrong, but I will show you how to do it properly." She took off her clothes and laid down on the ground. Here" she said, "you must put it in here!"
Tarzan removed his loincloth...stepped closer with his huge manhood and then gave her an almighty kick right in the crotch.
Jane rolled around in agony for what seemed like an eternity Eventually she managed to gasp for air and screamed, "What in the Hell did you do that for?!"
"Tarzan check for bees."
The fact that, as you say, the band's logo is on the ammo boxes for the nailgun would suggest a causal link, don;t you think?
