Doom ]|[

Doom 3 is out and I was reading some of the comments on Slashdot. I came across these two that are making me laugh out loud:

My letter to my boss (Score:5, Funny)

Dear boss,
With the release of Doom3 today, I am taking two weeks of vacation effective immediately. I will not be reachable by direct email, cell phone or smoke signals. Should you feel the need to contact me, please leave a message and I will respond when I stop playing the game because I started hallucinating.

It make take me a while to respond as I expect my fingers to have fallen off by that point. Also, I will most likely be unintelligeable so be prepared not to understand a word I say. After two weeks, please alert all my co-workers to my return. They will need to prepare for my two weeks of body odor as well as purchase very dark sunglasses. I expect I will be very pale by then, perhaps blindingly pale.

Sincerely,
Your local Space Marine.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.

Did you get this game yet? When you do, please provide some info on what type of machine you are playing it on.

No, I don't buy many games - especially when they just come out. I don't have enough time to play them to justify paying $50+. UT2004 was the exception because of the awesome deal I got; and I knew I'd make time to play it.

I usually wait until a game I want comes down to $20 before I buy it. Right now my next game will be Knights Of The Old Republic.

I'll probably see if there's a Doom 3 demo that I can run on my main PC (P4 2.4GHz 400MHz FSB, 512MB, GeForce2). From what I've read I'll be lucky to run it at 800x600. ;)
