Posted by Zonk on from the for-your-downloading-pleasure dept.

Ant writes "ReelSplatter.com has a copy of the video showing Bill Gates, dressed in a black trench coat and carrying a shotgun, within id software's Doom. The downloadable 11 MB 3.25 minute Windows Media Video (WMV) file (Putfile has a streaming copy) was used to introduce Windows 95 and DirectX at the Microsoft Judgement Day event on October 30th, 1995. Note: The DOOM game map is episode 1, map 2."

    Personally, I can't wait for the "Steve Ballmer Edition" of this video. Now with extra obscenities and demon-throwing action!

    Either the person playing at the start of the video was using the arrow keys instead of a mouse, or he was really crap at doom. And he just stood there while bill stood right in the crosshairs! What's up with that!?

  3. Bill didn't shoot by BushCheney08 · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can tell that Bill didn't really shoot that dood that came onscreen at the 2 minute mark cos his ammo stays at 33. I suspect that Ballmer must've hit him from behind with a chair...
