Impending Doom

I haven’t had much time lately to play Doom 3, what with SWG guild nonsense and real life obligations and all. That damn real life can be so time consuming, something you catassers would know nothing about.

Of course, this means that everyone around me has already finished Doom at least five times, all on the nightmare setting, while I’m still stuck in f’ing Alpha Labs at 40 health.

Damn, that god mode setting sure is tempting, especially when EVERYONE feels obligated to describe the ending. In great detail. WTF, that’s like spoiling the end of a movie. Thanks alot, a-holes.

What I’ve seen so far (pitifully little) is simply incredible: engrossing storyline, challenging combat, beautiful graphics, a soundtrack without peer. I’m not very fond of those stupid PDAs I have to pick up and hunt through email spam, or worse! listen to stupid audio notes, to get the codes I need for various doors. I hate doing that and avoid it whenever feasible, which might explain why I’m missing half of my supplies.

I was relieved to discover that FedEx still exists in the future, under the moniker “Exe”. (I should look into buying that domain now.) I think I should be able to use what’s in the shipping boxes, like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Some ice skates, shoes, hell, I could even use a volleyball about now.
