id Software Announces Doom 4
spoco2 writes "The id Software site has announced that work has begun on the next sequel to their most famous game, Doom. Will they be able to resurrect the series after what many considered to be a serious misstep with Doom 3? Oh... and they're hiring for the team, so maybe you can steer them in the right direction?"
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I'd been playing DOOM since I played the first one on my old 386, with the graphics turned down enough that it was playable. As soon as I saw DOOM 2 on the shelf I bought it, too. I had hundreds of user-created levels for the two DOOMS.
DOOM 3 came out. I'd just had my CPU fry from its fan failing, and bought a new motherboard and video card. I bought DOOM 3, knowing I had enough hardware to throw at the game.
It required the new Windows OS, XP. Sixty bucks for a game that wouldn't run on my OS. It still sits on the shelf uninstalled. I didn't RTFA, but don't think I have to to know that it's going to require a four CPU machine with a $10,000 video card and Windows Vista (service pack six) to run.
I'm done with Id's software. R.I.P. Springfield Fragfest.

"I had to buy $400 in roses and chocolate to get my girlfriend to go see another movie with me." - by JDWTopGuy (209256) on Thursday May 08, @10:22AM (#23337174) If you have to "BUY YOUR WAY" back into a woman's life? You're obviously in bad straits (to put it mildly) "down there" apparently & are just disadvantaged @ birth, in your apparently being cursed with a SMALL "PENCIL" (& all the while, she's been most likely REGULARLY enjoying a lad with "proper tools & equipment" (by birth), behind your back - because that is how it is pal)
It appears that you are happy ( small, but happy ). As long as your finances hold out, that is.
Honestly/earlier & yes, even now in this reply? Hey - I was just "busting your balls", so - "go easy"! Just like above now in this reply, & in my earlier initial post...
Because, hey - After all, "THE BEATLES" said it best: "Money can't buy me love"... & I'll agree with your latest statement & the fact there is SOMEONE FOR EVERYONE (i.e. - it's ALL relative)... E.G.-> One we all know I am sure (or, @ least hope so (lol, or not))? I've met chicks who are bigger than the lincoln tunnel, & others we're all TOO big for. There IS someone, for everyone, on physical levels too (not just psychological ones).
