Can It Be?!? 
Headthump 
whoever greenlighted the use of the diablo-font in that ad should be taken out back and beaten to death, with a shovel. 
Omg Wrath 
i was just about to make a near-identical comment O_o

that was pretty much my first reaction on seeing that ad. 
Headthump 
yes it can be. they annouced there will be a doom3 tourney at quakecon... which is the second week of august... and august 3rd has been a long rumoured release date. 
96k FPS 
Apparently this was done for a contest and it's only 96k - fps, weapons, tex's, etc

Can you believe THIS fits in 96k? How?

Yep, 
that was posted here a month or two ago.
apparently, all the content is generated procedurally on startup. pretty cool.

as for diablo font... i don't know why it is used so much. it's not like it's that good or anything. plus the 't's just look stupid. 
Lol! 
Great comment, Wrath.

You can always download their demotool to gain an insight on how they create their content. 
Doom3 
havent been keeping up with the tech news but will it be able to big outdoor stuff or is it limited to interior designs like quake is? 
Outdoors 
yes it can do outdoor areas fine. 
Outdoor Doomage 
Unless I'm mistaken, outdoors are handled just like id's previous engines, i.e. it's only a matter of polycount - there's no fundamental difference in the rendering of large areas vs. small, detailed areas. 
3DRealms Look For A Level Designer

(Unreal / UnrealEd experience is a huge plus) 
 
"This is a full-time position..."

damn straight. 
Megazoid 
Read the help wanted thread, I posted that awhile ago.

Duke Nukem delays YOU! 
Doom 3... 
...has been confirmed from Activision to hit retail on August 13 here in Norway.

This according to VG: www.vg.no 
Daggerfall GFX Update? 
I thought I read quite awhile ago about a community redoing the Daggerfall graphics, but I can't find anything about it! (And yeah, I mean Daggerfall, not Morrowind, though I read that was updated too...) 
Phait 
Wait, wait, wait. Hold the phone.

You're saying a bunch of unknowns from the daggerfall community (?!) are refashioning a mediocre game that was released a hijillion years ago with new graphics?

Why, I can hardly wait!

(This post brought to you by the Stewie Griffin foundation.) 
 
yeah, just witness what's happened with Quake and it's engine and graphic 'enhancements' 
 
shrugs 
FALLOUT 3! 
See Ya 
In two days, I'm moving house. And at the moment, that means that access to internet is going to be problematic.

Apparently the house has no cable connection; it's too far away from an exchange for DSL, and no wireless broadband services exist here. So goodbye on-demand internet.

Depending on what Saturn technicians say, we may keep the connection, or just declare "stuff it" and go back to dialup (argh.) I've no idea how long it'll take to work this problem out, but anyway it means I may be incommunicado for a few days... or weeks.

Oh well. I've still got a day or so to blather at you if I wish, and plenty of Q3 maps and Q1 and Unreal mods, but I thought you guys should know that I won't be around for a while. 
Good Luck Fatty! 
I hope it all works out for ya dude :D 
Yeah 
I hope we can get cable service here - and no ugly black coax running atop the sideboards either. The olds have come to like the idea of being able to hop on the internet whenever they please and still receive phone calls. 
Have A Good One FC 
Hope you have a smooth move man. GL on the internet business, perhaps not having it will give you an excuse to map a little while you're gone.
