    Yeah! Let's hear it for soda! When I went to college four years ago I was riddled by my pop drinking friends for saying 'soda'. Now that I'm back in Chicago I'm throwing off the shackles of 'higher learning' and introducing soda back into my vocabulary. Excuse me while I go make supper.

    So... when is the Linux client for Doom 3 going to be released? I bought Doom 3 the day it came out (it runs pretty well with WineX...), but, I'm waiting for the Linux version. Anyone know when it's due out?
