Posted by CmdrTaco on from the come-get-some dept.

edawg writes Linuxgames reports that "the Linux edition of Doom 3 has been released by ID Software. Although it didn't ship with a Linux version on the install CD, its still nice to see they release Linux binaries around the same time as their first game patch. Here is Information directly from ID Software."

    So you bought an apple.. in the hopes of gaming?

    And I bought a Yugo so I could join an extreme racing club.

    I love Linux, I do programming work on there nearly every day. I don't own a linux box yet, but I plan on buying one soon so I don't need to pay for hosting anymore. But the fact of the matter still remains.

    When I want to play games, I want to play games. I don't want to be struggling to make those games work when I could run a shitty operating system but have it work properly. I also own an ATI card, and ATI's driver performance is more than below par on Linux.

    Mod me down, I really couldn't care. That's the *only* thing that I don't like about Linux. Games don't work properly, video drivers don't work properly, or they run like shit. Until then, I'll be running Windows XP.

    My new [blakespot.com] dual G5 2.5 is just itching for something to challenge it.

    Well, upgrading Macs is pretty difficult, often nearly impossible. Maybe give that a try.

    No sir! Don't expect me to be easy on you!

    I was expecting the other article to stay on screen a little longer and had put a few karma whoring notes in it, notes I have put in every doom3 articles so far.
    It was a quite simple, low profile, mom and pop shop of karma whoring. Until you came.

    Right now, when people arrive to my little shop of karma whore, they already have posted on your little irresponsible page, and say "doh! The other one was a dupe!" but don't bother to enter my little realm. And right now, I havent received one single point in return of investment.

    So i had 2 ways to cope with the loss in karma whoring margins:
    -either repost everything.
    -or take on you.

    osx does not deserve a version. Sorry, I am very biased. See you in hell.
