I intend to actually try and write this one so bare with me. I'll be starting off later today. With screenies.

Sounds good, I look forward to reading!

Souns??? What's that mean?

Am I missing something?

Nothing at all! Except a d

Ah, oh I see. The spelling mistake was a lie. The italics emphasise your scepticism.


Things have not started well. After installing, the damned thing refuses to run. It keeps crashing.

I'm downloading the latest patch now.

i also intend to finish doom someday.. care to race?

I believe he's already finished it, just no-one has ever completed a diary here, lol.

Finished both it and its expansion.

I like to finish games, but I have many that I have not yet done so (mainly because of the frankly insane number I have).

I'll start playing this evening. What I am undecided on however is whether or not to play through on the easiest or hardest (excluding nightmare) difficulty setting.

It turned out to be steam that was the problem.

Also, is anyone going to bother to answer my question?

What difficulty do you think I should play it on?

NIGHTMARE!
(yes i did read your earlier post)

I agree, lol.

Reason I can't do that is:

a) I just reinstalled so it's not unlocked
b) It's insane.

I'll take this as a plea for the hardest difficulty setting aside from that however.

awww
next hardest then i guess.
random, but my biggest issue with doom 3 was that they didn't use the amazing "NIGHTMARE" text from the other games

That's because it was a tad gimicky.

I actually really quite liked Doom 3. Then again, I also like marmite.

t'was still uber.
it is a fun game, but for reasons i cant work out, i liked the older ones better

Entry 1.

I am marine. OO RAH!



I step off the ship thing as it lands. Looks nice. Some beurocrat and his bodyguard also get off bumbling about something, but I don't care because I AM MARINE!

There's some scientist guy sitting on a bench babbling about getting out, but that doesn't matter.



Onward through door, into scanning room thing!





Now we see the glory of the UAC mars facility, with nice announcements, lights, shiny metal, and ROBOTS!



Naturally, I stride in to collect MARINE!'s pda. I must not lose it informs the secretary.




Onward I bumble through the lovely world of mars!

More soon.

ROFL, I think you captured the spirit of Doom quite well.

lol very nice.
...then MARNIE! accidentally typed "spawn monster_boss_cyberdemon" into console in a large open area.

I was half asleep when I was writing it. It's not the complete first entry, I'll add the rest later. Entries are basically play sessions. So one entry = one session of Doom 3.

you should still type that in console and screenshot whatever appears. :p
