In today's episode of "Feeling Old Yet?" - last Saturday Doom 3 turned fifteen. The amazing thing is not the number (time passes regardless of us), but rather the fact that in my mind it still exists and is treated as a "new" game. Naturally, its once monstrous system requirements are laughable now. Ultra quality with AA and Vsync turned on are barely felt by this modern hardware.

Ideal game... I'm not sure one exists. And the reason is that our moods and needs change all the time. There are days when game X might make you feel good, but then a day comes when you don't feel like X at all, and you want Y. And that's before you develop a craving for Z. I recently had a bit of a LucasArts phase, but now I seem to be drifting towards Dune-themed games for some reason. Who knows what I'll come up with for next week. So the "perfect" game is defined by many things, including the moment when you desire to play it.

If I find some other troves of Quake stuff, I'll let you know. Especially if they have that elusive GameMania thingie.

Oh yes, I think having a less serious series (try saying that quickly several times) could feel refreshing. Experimentation is our favorite thing, as shown by all the craziness with the server.
