History Of Doom Movie Debuts

Rogerpq3 writes "A G4/Tech TV feature on DOOM 3, offering a history of the DOOM franchise in the words of the folks at id Software. The clip can be found on the air on The DOOM Franchise, episode 310 of a series called 'Icons.' The piece offers clips from DOOM 3 and other games, interview footage, analysis and more, and for those without access to the program. You can download the movie at: 3DGamers, Doom3HQ, Doom3.de, Doom3maps.de, and FileShack. It's really worth the download for any Doom and id fans out there. (Thanks: BluesNews)"

  1. DooM by Kleedrac2 · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You know this is one of those games I can never seem to get out of my system. I've bought the game at least 7 times and I still bought that "Collector's Edition" they did a couple years back. I play DooM Legacy (best linux port I've seen.) And I think I still have DooM95 installed on my wife's XP box. What is it that keeps me coming back for more of this game over and over again? Why can't I let this game go? Anywho I'm torrenting this file from 3DGamers and appreciate whoever brought this up as I lost TechTV in my recent move. If anyone knows of a better DooM client than DooM Legacy please send me a link as I still play DooM at least once a week!

    Ummm, as far as I know, if it was pronounced "id", they were doing it right. To the best of my knowledge, id Software gets their name from the Freudian concept referred to as the id. A definition from dictionary.com:

    id, n; In Freudian theory, the division of the psyche that is totally unconscious and serves as the source of instinctual impulses and demands for immediate satisfaction of primitive needs.

    So, unless id has changed their name over the years, I guess technically the show had it right.
