I loaded up my original copy of DOOM 3 on Steam today, to see how fertile it might be as a basis for a literary theory paper I'll be writing for a class over the next couple months. Fun stuff!
Maddy's story regarding the fighting game community, and experience in the basement...just ugh. It's toecurlingly embarrassing how maladjusted some people in the gaming community really are. Their social awkwardness borders on stuff from the South Park WoW skit, and that was a fucking parody. So sad.
Still can't believe they didn't just build the second analog stick into the redesign. It just seem like they're too stubborn to admit that it should've been designed that way to begin with.
It's not stubbornness - it's simply not wanting to lose face and be ridiculed over an apparent design flaw (that they achieve it regardless now via this monstrosity is just delicious irony).
Case in point: go read the troll article Patrick's linking to in the latest Worth Reading. Trolls will be trolls, haters gonna hate, the world keeps spinning, news at 11.
And it's all the same horsecock, I truly agree with the OP, but what are you going to do do? Bunch of immature wankers on this site, same as everywhere.
Miasmata is like a dream come true! First Person survival adventure game on an island and you're a plague-stricken scientist who needs to find a cure. Think if Far Cry wasn't a shooter. Day/night cycle, go find herbs and shit. Has some survival horror elements too with some cat creature that will try to kill you from time to time.
