doom3 on ebay? WTF?

Recommended Posts

that's right, while searching to buy myself a new copy of doom and doom 2, i found an action promising doom3. i'm not going to link it unless i get the say so from a mod (it's got about 15 hours left) but i'm just noting this so we can marvel over the stupidity of some people. i'm not gonna buy it, my computer couldn't run it.

It COULD be original doom, as Bloodshedder offered. In any case it's doubtful that it's the real full retail game.

Maybe It's Final Doom, but they are just calling it Doom3 for short cause they take it as being the 3rd doom for the computer.
Could happen. :D

Heh. Maybe it's that one guy who tried to sell it to me 2 years ago. His fucking copy of GTA3 never worked.

I don't think the original doom would be listed with supercomputer recommended specs.


Unless you lie of course. But then, no one has ever lied on Ebay before.

I find the avatar quite funny, even though I'm part german and polish

I'm 75% German and I love it!

Of course, all my ancestors had migrated to America by the late 1800's, but whatever.

I don't find it offensive either, I'm just pointing out that some (who perhaps don't want to make a big deal of it) might find it offensive.

and don't be retarded, of course someone could find doom offensive, but I highly doubt they'd posting on a doom forum, so that's an irrelevant point.

The swastika doesn't really mean anything alone, it's when you start verbally abusing people in a 'nazi-esque' way that it becomes offensive. I guess people could get anal about the swastika though

(Worth looking at the photos accessible from the front page of that link - http://members.at.infoseek.co.jp/japanpage/favorite.htm -. Looks odd to see kids and buildings displaying what looks like a swastika and not to have any Nazi associations.)

Theres plenty more you can turn up with google.

My grandmother's university's flag was the swastika. It was a native American symbol. But they changed it after the war. Fucking war...it always changes stuff. Like German toast. The name was changed to French toast during WWI (or maybe WWII). And now it's called freedom toast because the government decided to start hate propaganda against the French. Heh...

A lot of names were changed because of World War 2 anti-German propaganda. Hamburgers became "meat sandwiches", German shepherds became "police dogs"... Rottweilers and Dacshunds(sp?) they couldn't rename, so the police just gathered them up and shot them. :(

What the fuck? That's messed up.

Interestingly enough, my Mom had two Dacshunds while growing up. :)

This kid I know has Doom 3. It says DOOM 3 on the box. It's actually a bunch of doom wads.

Frankfurter became "hot dog". I don't find the swastica partiularly offensive. It wouldn't be offensive to a nazi. Perhaps I just don't give a shit. Who knows, that could be. Why is darknation's title "loser"?

We still have our hamburgers and German shepherds as far as I can tell.

Anyone who changes their symbols, names and whatnot around just because of a bunch of war propaganda is being completely silly. It's a type of reverse hate propaganda and when you think about it, governments that support that kind of thinking are just making themselves look pretty sad. I think I'll now go on a lifelong crusade to stop this kind of bullshit.
