tsk tsk, a fair weather friend . . . where will you be if Nazis (this time, Undead Nazis!) start knocking on their door?
But I understand the sentiment -- like in the Final Four, which ever team from my state gets there, even though I'm a Chapel Hill Alum, gets my support.
NCState was robbed!

Chapel Hill alumnus? Cool. I was listening to the radio today and I found it quite amusing to hear all the Chapel Hillians and UNC folks say they were going to cheer for Georgia Tech instead of Duke, just because of the intense rivalry between UNC and Duke. Apparently you're not like that, though, so I can't laugh at you.

Well, I have already played: Half-Life 1, Soldier of Fortune 1, Max Payne (on PS2), Unreal (but didn't have a chance to get too far, probably worth revisiting)...
thanks for all the insight, Call of Duty seems like a sure bet.
ROFLMAO...

3 days ago I got a phonecall from a friend of my older brother's who works in Sunnyvale, TX as a dental assistant. He went to high school with my brother and he hadn't seen him in some time, but they were great friends in HS.
My brother wasn't home so I told him he'd call him back, and that it was good to hear from him. We talked briefly since I had met him a few times, and I asked him if Sunnyvale was near Dallas. He said not really, and that it was just a small town a few miles east of Mesquite, which was the biggest city nearby. The name struck a chord, and I realized it was where id has their headquarters.
So I said, "Hey have you ever heard of id software? They made Doom, Quake, etc."
He said it was funny I should say that because he was at a bar the other night in Mesquite meeting a woman he met in a personal ad who was from there. Apparently he had an issue with a guy who was trying to talk to this woman at the bar, he was interested in her so he didn't wanna let it go so easy.
Things eventually settled down between them, and the other guy felt bad so he wanted to buy him a drink for being a good sport. They got to talking and he told me it was "Christian from id."
I thought that was pretty cool, so I asked him if they talked about Doom 3.
My brother's friend isn't really into PC gaming too much, but he had played the original Doom a few times, so they talked about that a little bit. He said Christian told him that they were coming out with the latest installment of the Doom series.
My brother's friend out of politeness said he would check it out when he was heading to Wal-Mart the next day to pick up some other stuff. Christian then told him, that it wasn't out yet, but would be released in "about a year, year and a half."
Stunned, I said, "are you sure that's what he said, because I've been following the game a bit, and it was supposed to be out soon"
He said he was almost 99 per cent sure that that's what he said.
We talked for a minute or two more, and then I hung up.
I had totally forgotten about it until now, and I still can't believe it, but I can't see any reason why my brother's friend would lie.
=(
So...

Yes, that's what I read in most of "specialized book".. They all said that Doom3 is not yet ready at all... and no one knows clearly when it will be released...
Taking a look at the trailers, you have an overview of the game play... and it seems to be really really good !! I've also heard that some "unofficial" demo can be found... but never I found one... The mystery remains...
WTF Brit's...

Car kills teen mooner
A TEENAGER was run over and killed as he mooned at passing cars during a boozy night out, an inquest heard.
Student Alexander Edwards, 18, and three pals stood in the road exposing their backsides while walking to a party.
Motorist John A�Court was blinded by headlights and ploughed into the lads �like they were skittles� the coroner in Wells, Somerset was told.
He said: �I think about it every day but cannot think of anything I could have done about it.�
Police said Mr A�Court was not to blame.
Verdict: Accidental death.

It is all too true. Sure I'll root for an ACC team like GT and Maryland when they are playing outside the division since divisional dominance makes the hometeam look even better, but Duke is just 28 miles away from Chapel Hill (which I guess explains the intensity of the rivalry), and Coach K is a class act to ever really boo while putting your heart into it (like say, for instance, Bobby Knight).
Update At My Site:
i going to start reviewing maps for the awesome FPS Daikatana!!
Daikatana ripped-ff the 17 people who bought it, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, [no-one can really remember] and was immediatley hailed as being...crap.
Read this pathetically bad marketing blurb that 3 guys threw together one drunken lunchtime:
"Designed by the legendary [legendary according to who, exactly?] John Romero, Daikatana is a first person perspective action, which takes the 3D shoot'em up genre into a new dimension. [the dimension of terrible and overrated garbage].
24 huge levels [filled with green frogs] that span four time periods!!!
Superior artificial intelligence [superior compared to something with the worst artifical intelligence in the world,ever], including dialogue between characters. [they wrote desparately]!!!"
So!!! i am sure there are lots and lots of "D1SP" maps out there. [hehe]
I am happy to start reviewing these maps at my site as a way to draw attention and thank "the talentless idiot with an ego the size of California" for providing [inflicting] on us this truly awful experience.
Waring: after reviewing 2 maps i may have to stop reviewing Daikatana SP maps for reasons of "actually wanting to play a good computer game".
