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

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


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

I'm downloading the latest patch now.

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?

Reason I can't do that is:

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

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. :P

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

Entry 1.

I am marine. OO RAH!

Image

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.

Image

Onward through door, into scanning room thing! :D

Image

Image

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

Image

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

Image


Onward I bumble through the lovely world of mars! ><

More soon. >-<

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

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

I already did. :P

Or something like that anyway. It was after I'd finished the game for the first time. I booted it back up and was spawning them in the first building at the start of the game. You could only see the feet of the cyberdemon. :P

I might do that after I've finished this. However I intend to complete it without cheating etc.

This diary will get more serious when I'm not typing it whilst half-asleep and/or hyper. :P

i can't be serious, so i might do a CSS diary.

Entry 1 continued:

With my PDA stowed away, I proceeded into the mars base, talking to people who seemed to be, well, a bit self-centered. They didn't seem to talk much. They have some things to say though.

Image

I soon over-hear Swann (the beaurocrat) arguing with Dr Betruger (the head scientist on Mars). They flame each other good and proper.

Image

Swann:

Image

Betruger, the sort you'd like to keep at the end of a 20ft barge pole:

Image

I proceed on further. My destination is Marine Command, where I meet up with Sargent Kelly, who gives me orders to find a 'missing scientist', and 'not hurt him'.

Image

Marine on duty shows the way:
Image

Sarge:
Image

Kelly orders me to follow this little drone, who will guide me some of the way:

Image

There are many cabinets that you can find the codes for. They then open to give you stuff.

Image
Image


Proceeding on then. I have to make my way to an old comms centre, as apparantly the missing scientist was last seen near there. I make my way there, and pick up a gun and some armour from this guy:

Image

Then I go off and scare this guy. :P

Image

Then this guy startled me! He was hiding behind some crates.

Image

I don't know what this is, but it looks cool. I think it's explained in one of the UAC videos:

Image
Image

I then startled this guy too.

Image

I proceed on further, with flickering lights etc. Apparantly the scientists in the Delta labs are demanding more and more power. Consequently power-cuts are quite common.

Further on, I get to take a walk on Mars (which I forgot to take screenies for :P).
Still, I got some pics of the guard and the airlock.

Image
Image

This walk takes me to the old comms building, where I face the door...

Image

End of Entry 1.
