    In case you haven't seen it, there's a video of the G4 Tech TV show featuring Doom 3 ingame footage. Plasma Gun, BFG, Lost Soul, Reveant...

  5. Doom 3 Unleashes Web Design Hell? by draevil · · Score: 5, Funny

    The gates of hell are indeed open! I think the creator of the midi-tune-playing-in-the-background site escaped from the bowels of hell to create that monstrosity.

    Never mind the minimum-spec for the game, what the hell is the mininum spec for displaying that site? :)

    PS: It doesn't render correctly with mozilla-firefox and version 7 of the flash for linux player.

    I remember setting up a 14.4k modem duel back in the day when online fps was mano a mano ('92-'93??). I'll never forget how cool it was getting the connection to finally take and there we were, two guys on the opposite side of town hunting each other down in the hallowed halls of Doom. It blew my dad's mind - he had no idea such a thing was possible with his computer... That game will always have a special place in this geek's heart... Bring on Doom III!
