S1lent Posted October 9, 2004 I saw this on DoomIIIfile.com as their POTD and I was wondering if anyone ever noticed this. http://doom3.filefront.com/screenshots/18/potd/1093925619.jpg 0 Share this post Link to post
maggot Posted October 9, 2004 no. it must symbolize the birth of some great evil. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted October 9, 2004 I never noticed that. Though it could be a coincidence, it is neat anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post
geekmarine Posted October 9, 2004 It's way too vague to be intentional, in my opinion. People are great at being able to see things that aren't really there. 0 Share this post Link to post
Revenant100 Posted October 9, 2004 People have also seen the Dopefish in the pentagram, but apparantly it's not. 0 Share this post Link to post
[D3HoE]Makaveli Posted October 9, 2004 That was intentional. It was to symbolize Carmack's coming baby. 0 Share this post Link to post
Wobbo Posted October 10, 2004 If there really is no dopefish in doom3 that's kinda sad... 0 Share this post Link to post
Relica Religia Posted October 10, 2004 I think the baby picture has a decent chance of not being a coincidence. 0 Share this post Link to post
Godshatter Posted October 10, 2004 it looks like the star child from 2001 0 Share this post Link to post
ZiGZaG Posted October 10, 2004 Yea I can ********-ly see the image there, I have 15-20 ultra sound photos of my 2 little girls and unless you've really sat and looked at photos like that you would shrug it off. But, yes I can see the fetus in that image...very cool. why is the word def-inate-ly being stared out like a bad word? 0 Share this post Link to post
Darkhaven Posted October 10, 2004 At one point didn't def inately turn into MORONMORONMORONMORONMORONMORON (or something to that effect) ? 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, and it should also replace the text in every post you make. Anyway, If the Dopefish isn't in it, big fucking deal. 0 Share this post Link to post

Revenant100 Posted October 10, 2004 Melfice said:Anyway, If the Dopefish isn't in it, big fucking deal. Well it's sad that id is no longer recognizing their past games, especially one as good as the Keen series (sans Keen Dreams). Doom 1 and 2 both had a Wolfenstein 3d reference, Doom 2 had Keen in it, and Quake 1-3 all had Dopefish appear. Doom 3 would be id's first game to basically completely ignore their past games besides Doom and Quake, even if they only had put in a small reference to them as an easter egg or something. Not that something is required, but Doom 3 basically broke a streak that id had going. Nostalgia is fun, and Keen and Wolf 3d are id's origins, so a playful nod to them would be cute. 0 Share this post Link to post

Relica Religia Posted October 11, 2004 The word is censored because it's helping try to keep out common spelling errors in posts, or something. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted October 11, 2004 i remember ******* was banned, or some word like that. still is banned, what not so with pleasure i present ******* ******* ******* the question is which one is really what not and which ones are 7 * symbols? as for the topic. this was a pic of the day on planetdoom a while back. i think shortly after ther birth of his son, on a friday the 13th. 6 pounds and 6.6 onces. ok maybe not. but that would be totaly fucking sweet. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xenaero Posted October 11, 2004 Carmack had a son right? That's a tribute I think. Surprising how people noticed this, rofl. 0 Share this post Link to post

Revenant100 Posted October 12, 2004 Huh? Anyway Doom 3 did break the streak of the Dopefish being in most of their games. Even Daikatana had the Dopefish in it. Is id trying to say that Doom 3 is John Romero's bitch? :P 0 Share this post Link to post
