A test-flight of the Airbus A380 filled entirely with fuel to crash into a warehouse containing every PS3, Wii and 360 and all the new games in the country, and taking out the 'people' qeueing for them. Therefore removing stupidity from society at a stroke

And maybe foreigners stopping being so good at cricket

[Sharessa]

Fixing my other computer, upgrading it, installing WoW on it, then getting Burning Crusade when it comes out (in like 2 weeks).

Going to college again, I hope.
Hopefully finding a better job one way or another.
Final Fantasy 6 Advance

That's really all I'm looking forward to.

[Kid Airbag]

MORDETH EP2
MILLENNIUM

[printz]

WoW

A couple of WoW addons, then, heh.
Maybe Starcraft Ghost? (I despise Blizzard's will of switching to consoles. What about modability, then?)

John Titor's prophecy finally coming true
The rapture

MORDETH EP2

I'd like to see how long the wait can be pushed. Mordeth should be a posthumous release.

Yeah, especially those Britons.

You mean another game pawned off by id to a 3rd party developer. It's really amazing how far id has gone down the crap chute. It's been over 10 years since Romero left and they haven't come up with even one new title in all that time. All they've done is made two completely disconnected sequels to Quake and an embarrassing Doom remake that isn't anything like the original game, and sold out all of their titles since Keen to 3rd party developers, without even bothering to oversee their work. That and managed to fire anyone with any creativity while promoting a guy who made crappy Doom 2 maps full of SS Nazis to lead designer.

[kristus]

But they are coming with a new title now. And that people hate Doom3 for not being the exact same game that Doom1 was, that's just stupid.

And that the Quake games are disjointed is not exactly a big whoop. Quake1 was ever disjointed with itself. During the last months of work on it they threw out all the RPG gameplay elements and replaced it with shotguns and nailguns, just so they could get it finished. You should realize that Quake is just a name, even in Quake 1 they didn't have any connection to the name, other than they had a "codename" for Shub Niggurath. The fact that they were pressured to come up with a solid name for Quake 2 that weren't already trademarked by some other company doesn't have anything to do with it I suppose.
Aren't you gonna hate on Squaresoft a bit for calling an entire series that has nothing to do with eachother other than the basic game play Final Fantasy too?

For me it's like every other game id makes is really fun for me. I love all the Doom games. I don't get strung up on some emotastic shit that Doom3 wasn't an exact replica of Doom1. If I had wanted that, then I wouldn't have needed another Doom game.

To be fair, the FF series has a lot more in common than the Quakes. There are literally dozens of recurring themes, plot elements, creatures, character names, items, spells, game engine mechanics, etc. A few examples: elemental crystals, airships, Chocobos, Moogles, Cactuars, summoned monsters, white and black magic, and turn-based battles.

[Sharessa]

Oh yeh, Quake Wars. I am actually looking forward to that.

Maybe they had higher expectations than just another generic FPS.

Since Doom id has been an engine company, not a game company. I didn't play Quake when it came out, but did a couple of years ago and that game has not aged well. It feels like a disjointed tech-demo for true-3d, and not the exulted legend people feel it is. The gameplay is like Doom, but it plod along without the energy or speed of its predecessor. The art is somewhat haphazard, and the various monsters don't even follow a consistent theme.
