I have vague memories of Trumpet Winsock, but the bloodlust lives on.

[edit]I had a feeling the writing style and annoyances was familiar - it's VGA who we already banned once. Rebanned.[/edit]

Remember manually allocating memory for Doom and the like?
Organic Superlube? Oh, it's great stuff, great stuff. You really have to keep an eye on it, though--it'll try and slide away from you the first chance it gets.

Remember when id was spelt both lowercase? Oh, it still is, never mind.

Blizzard has, and always will suck. WC3 was a fun for a whole 20 min. The awful communities that spawn around it don't help much either.

WC3 and Doom3 both suck. WC3 was boring. D3 was a tech demo. I doubt I'll bother finishing either of them.

Valve pisses me off too. If they're going to make me go out of my way for this Steam shit, is it too much to ask that such a simple piece of software work? I know functional scroll bars are hard to implement perfectly in the first, second, third, and fourth revisions of the software. But by now, I don't think it's too much to ask that I be able to scroll down their software catalog.

I just bought HL2 from Steam and it was the easiest thing in the world. Scrolling and all.

And if you were expecting a revolutionary gameplay experience in Doom3, then that's you're a moron. D3 was a solid action game, no more, no less.

I just bought HL2 as well. Scroll bars still don't work for me in the steam client, but who needs those?

Regarding D3: it was about a 3.5/5 game. It'll probably be a 4/5 once they patch it up a little. Given ID's special position (they can afford the "when it's done" approach and have assloads of talent); that's a bad score for them, in my opinion.

Assloads of talent? They're still less than 20 people in the office. Compare to some games which have 100s of people. Quality over quantity and all of that, but it's still a very small company.
