Johnatone Posted September 17, 2003 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted September 17, 2003 they are probably selling the old leak.. dont tell me it's some guy who magically got it from id. 0 Share this post Link to post
Manc Posted September 17, 2003 It COULD be original doom, as Bloodshedder offered. In any case it's doubtful that it's the real full retail game. 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted September 17, 2003 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 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted September 17, 2003 I don't think the original doom would be listed with supercomputer recommended specs. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted September 17, 2003 Heh. Maybe it's that one guy who tried to sell it to me 2 years ago. His fucking copy of GTA3 never worked. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cyb Posted September 17, 2003 dn you're gonna have to remove that swastika from your avatar, some could potentially find it offensive. 0 Share this post Link to post
sargebaldy Posted September 17, 2003 couldn't someone potentially find doom offensive too? :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Bloodshedder Posted September 17, 2003 Of course, it could be someone who found the DOS version of Legacy and thought the "doom3.exe" in there meant it was Doom 3. 0 Share this post Link to post

Bloodshedder Posted September 17, 2003 You, however, don't speak for everyone. Though I am mostly German and could really care less about it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted September 17, 2003 I'm 75% German and I love it! Of course, all my ancestors had migrated to America by the late 1800's, but whatever. 0 Share this post Link to post
Cyb Posted September 17, 2003 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted September 17, 2003 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 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted September 17, 2003 Interesting... http://www.albertlowe.com/genswa.html http://members.at.infoseek.co.jp/japanpage/themanji.htm (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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted September 17, 2003 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... 0 Share this post Link to post
IMJack Posted September 17, 2003 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. :( 0 Share this post Link to post

Epyo Posted September 18, 2003 This kid I know has Doom 3. It says DOOM 3 on the box. It's actually a bunch of doom wads. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scabbed Angel Posted September 23, 2003 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"? 0 Share this post Link to post

Aliotroph? Posted September 24, 2003 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
