I was wondering when this was finally gunna show up on slashdot. Doom 2 is probably my favorite game EVER in terms of hours spent enjoying it, and I've been looking forward to Doom 3 ever since John Carmack mentioned the idea in his.plan. Like A lot of people, I even forked over the money for a total system upgrade just so I'll be able to get decent framerates (Althon2000, Geforce4 Ti4400, 512mb ddr2700)
Anyway, of course I was really excited when people on efnet started mentioning an alpha being leaked, and I managed to get ahold of it that night. So I loaded it up, and played it for a few minutes.. and closed it and deleted it. Yes, it looks great. Very promising. But really, it's not worth the download. There are only 3 levels, and you can tell that even those aren't polished yet. From playing it, I learned that it's a beautiful game and awesome engine, and it's going to be fun as hell. But anyone can see that just by looking at the screenshots that have been around forever. This alpha is more of a spoiler than anything else. Instead of going out and trying to get your hands on it, you'd be better off to just wait for the real game to come out.
Comic book image stealing aside, doesn't anyone find it interesting that the government just gave kids at MIT $50 million to build super robot warsuits?:)
You know, I've been doing this for a few years.. going to parties, setting up a sound sytem, and playing high-quality mp3s for people to listen/dance to. But I'd be too embarassed to call it "DJing". I mean, yes, it's like DJing in a sense where you have to select the music to fit the mood and keep the party going, and have the songs people ask to hear.. but still. It's just fundamentally different somehow. Maybe because just about any schmoe could do it:)

"Marko!" "Poulou!"
if it's any consolation, it's a really nice looking web site.
Where's Robert Zubrin when you need him? :/

But seriously, I think it's time for me to move to Korea. They obviously have a culture much more suited to my kinda lifestyle

/.ers watch BUFFY!? Man, I knew you guys were nerds, but I thought there was at least some intelligence going around in this community. Yikes.
Dude, get it right.
