    The old Dooms were hilarious. The facial expressions, the whole senario. I loved the guys shifty sideways glances, and the way the imps keened over and the shotgun went BOOM-CHA-CUCK, in just the right way.

    I chuckle to myself whenever I play it now.

    I also set my monitors settings to normal, but that's another story.

  2. OSS is easier to develop for by Makarakalax · · Score: 0, Troll

    Of course you're ignoring the fact that OSS is a far superior API to develop for, and that OSS is far more mature and thus you are less likely to give the consumer a produce that is buggy if you have OSS support. Thus they put OSS support in first.

    The newest whiizbang-thingy is not necessarily the best choice.
