There you have it. August 3rd, people!

Woot!

Finally! So many long years of waiting for this gem is finally being paid off. I think I'll go out and preorder my copy tomorrow. This is just going to be too big of a hit to miss. Looks like it's time for some good, old-fashioned demon slaying action. Except, this time, the demons are more than 2d sprites running around in DOS. :P

Pricing on Doom 3 is a bit odd though. $55... Most games are either $50 or $40 these days (and I really have never seen a $55 PC game... even back in the $60 age).

All combinations can be found via other peoples's PDAs (whether it be an e-mail or audio log). The exception are the Martian Buddy closets which require you to quit the game and go to martianbuddy.com to get the code from the bottom of the page (trust me, it's worth it).

And yeah, this game is pretty freaky when played in complete darkness. It really adds to the experience. I've gone through quite a few shocking momentes (I hate when you hear stuff growling at you and you can't see it... resulting in you frantically making 360 degree turns and shooting at stuff that isn't there, lol). My freakiest moment so far was actually in the bathroom (after all hell breaks loose and you start backtracking). I wanted to go see myself in the mirror so I walked up really close to it. My sound was pretty loud so the ensuing cutscene-thing scared the hell out of me. Lol.

I suddenly have the urge to go find my floppy version of Doom 1 and play some levels....
