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."

To be fair to CmdrTaco, the original article in the link above doesn't show up on my main page on Slashdot, so I never saw the original article either. I just went back through Monday's articles and it doesn't show up there. Only when I click on the "Games" section does it actually appear. Weird. I haven't set my main page prefs to filter any articles out, so it should be displayed. Hmm, slashdot bug perhaps.

Possibly offtopic, but I think all these dupes give the moderators a welcome break from having to hear rants about how Winbloze is teh sux0r.

Not yet but I did get an "Offtopic" already. Guilty as charged.

"... to prove that your really truly one of the cognoscenti."

When all you really have to do is use "your" and "you're" in the wrong places!

I am similar to you, but I actually post now and then. When someone mentions getting "modded to hell", I look for a reason that they should. I usually don't find one.

I try to avoid stuff to moderate that I feel strongly about: politics, religon, Han shooting first. It's hard to mod up a JarJar fan, after all.

Of course, I would moderate yours and my posts as "off-topic". :)

Sadly, I had no idea that I was competing against you for Karma. Thanks to the FAQ, I'm still pretty much confused. Continue to whore if it makes you happy, but if I'm an indirect Kharma pimp, I expect my cut, bitch. ;-)

Mod parent up +1 insightful, +1 funny, +1 interesting, +1 underrated.

Mod parent down -1 offtopic, -1 overrated, -1 redundant, -1 flamebait.

Net? 8 moderators blew their wads....

Well, you have entered a dangerous territory mister, and trying to gather the favor of the slashdot editors by posting dupes was not the safest way to enter this game, as they certainly are not those who matters around here.
Oh yes, you are going to get your cut, and a nasty one, yessir.
