Doom 3 Duct Tape

Duct Tape mod for Doom 3 assumes that there has to be some duct tape around to attach your flashlight to your shotgun and such. There is also Doom 3 Flashlight + Pistol.
Which brings me to one of my annoyance in Doom 3. In 2004 stardard issue military, and most police, firearms have a flashlight attachment. Even in broad daylight the flashlight is on almost every rifle. So what happend in the furture these attachments become a lost technology? Also if every police show has cops using the flashlight in one hand and pistol how come in the future this is a lost skill?
If the use of flashlight and weapon would destory the “experience” then take the flashlight away but dammit not letting them both be used at the same time is pretty fsck’n stupid.

Doom 3

I didn’t do like many and rush out to pick up Doom 3 on tuesday but waited til last night 🙂 Inital reaction on the graphics, “OH MY FSCK’N GOD! How did they do those awesome graphics” Inital reaction to game play, “OH MY FSCK’N GOD! How unplayable.” Maybe it is my ever worsening eyesight combined with the kick ass realtime lighting and shading. Maybe it is my expectation for the rooms to have a function.
I’m hoping my experience changes the more I play the game but the expectations are kinda low. Though one good thing about the game play was to remind me how great the story and game play was in HalfLife. So how many more days til HalfLife2 comes out?
Dooom 3
Graphic Awesomeness 9/10

Knoppix Meet MAME

Given mithrandir‘s Nickel Arkade the CD bootable Knoppix MAME is a pretty cool find. Through the game launcher isn’t as cool as the Nickel Arkade one.
