      Confirmed, and it's the original Doom head, but I think that's what you meant.

      I've confirmed what you have posted. At 00:43 frame 23 you can see the original doom guy's face. Its kinda spooky looking.

  8. A safe, easy, spyware free quicktime by poohsuntzu · · Score: 5, Informative

    For Windows users, just install the Kazaa Lite ++ Codec Pack. It's legal (unlike it's p2p software) and includes not only the latest DivX codecs, but quicktime/realplayer Dll's that operate without the quicktime/realplayer software. This means quicktime/realplayer playability and browser streaming without the spyware. They are known as quicktime/realplayer lite.

    Get the 'mega codec pack' here:

    For linux users, of course head here and snag:
    http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/e ssential-20040704.tar.bz2

    Which is the mplayer release of an essential codec pack containing divx, quicktime, realplayer, etc. Those should be extracted (without the sub director in the tar) to /usr/lib/win32

  9. the Doom3 hardware requirements... by Daniel+Ellard · · Score: 5, Funny
    ... are nothing compared to the hardware requirements for hosting Doom3 downloads...

    Sigh. The headline for this articles should read something like "There's a cool file available and the URL was posted on slashdot. Mark your calendar for next week, when the traffic dies down and you can actually download it."

  12. Maybe not so impressive, after all by TintinX · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So I've just BT'ed the movie and - well - quite honestly, from this new (and, I admit) short sneak preview, I am underimpressed.
    Of course I realised that Doom3 was gonna be Old Skool stlyee, but until I saw this clip of prolongued in-game footage, I didn't realise just how 'run backwards through tight corridors shooting at things' is was likely to be.
    Answer (given this trailer) is: a huge, big amount of very lots.
    Call me a traitor but I'm much more looking forward to HL2 with it's human militia, Eastern European country setting and all-round greater immersion.
    I'll give D3 a warez bash and purchase it if I'm still playing after Day 3 (really, I will), but I have a feeling it may be rather short-lived on my hard disk (not to mention the fact that I'm gonna have to endure it on my laptop (pretty sexy, but still...) as I'm away on business for the first half of next week).
    Oh timing - you cruel, cruel fate (possibly).

    My first system was a Dragon32 if you ever heard of such system.

    Oh man, you young kids were spoiled with your fancy 4 voice sound chips, 32K RAM and 16K ROM, Motorola chips running almost a full kilohertz ... when I was a kid the PONG game was about our third upgrade. Not the fancy one with the gun either - just plain pong. And we had to work our way up to that one, after years of Etch-a-Sketch and Lite-Brite. Multi-player combat consisted of fist-fights with my brothers when everybody wanted to play pong at the same time.

    But yea, I'm looking forward to playing Doom III.
