Doom 3 (continued)
I finished Doom 3 with some help from the cheat codes. It didn't take
that much to get it to work on my laptop just fine. I'm sure I
didn't get the full gaming experience. Then again, I never intended to
spend weeks taking on every creature and taking down every boss with
least ammo expenditure. The real gamers
out there will want to flame me, but I just don't have time to pursue
the experience.
The graphics were OK on my laptop. I had to lower some setting
somewhere and leave it at 640x480. People's faces looked funny because
the computer only did shadowing on half the face at a time. People kind
of looked like that old episode of Star Trek where the people have half
a whit face and the other half is black. (The show was a statement on
the ridiculousness of skin color prejudice. It wasn't the color of
their skin, it was which side was black and which side was white.)
Overall, I give it an "eh!".
Olympics
I did not watch two minutes of the Olympics. I don't get NBC in very
clear in my area. That, and I don't care. I'm just not interested. I've
never been able to do sports. I never got into it. I preferred to sit
in front of a computer for hours on end while suffering the affects of
radiation sickness due to 13 CRTs glowing 24/7. Doesn't the Republican
convention kick of tonight or tomorrow? I bet I watch more of that than
the Olympics. I might make five minutes.
Sex and DnD
I remember these articles that bounced around when I was kid. Dragon
Magazine had this running joke about "and next week sex and DnD ..." at
the end of many articles. If memory serves, they actually had the
article once. Now, there is a whole book
dedicated to the subject. Thanks to Alexis for sending me the link.
I've read some samples and the rules they came up with are interesting.
I won't go into details.
It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.
