Doom 3 petition. This is too funny. If you're a gamer, read this. - Page 2 - EvBoard

I've been waiting for Doom3 forever, and just found out last week that my computer won't even be able to run it

**Machinehead** · 07-23-2004, 08:57 PM

I used to get in arguments with people in religious IRC chatrooms about doom shortly after it came out. I would defend it to the end. Of course, I was about 11 or so and my debating skills probably weren't that adequate. I thought I did a good job though. I've been waiting for doom 3 since... the Quake I days. (Way before it was announced) I remember thinking how awesome they could make a new doom game with the new polygon based graphics. I'm sure my soul will be absorbed by the computer when it comes out... hopefully it'll be released in time for me to go to the Ev concert in Little Rock.

Well, unless you're planning on building a killer PC to do the game justice, you should probably just get the Xbox version. I have a really nice PC, and I'm still upgrading my graphics card to get the best performance.

P.S. I'm actually hoping that this game will generate lots of controversy. The original Doom is STILL referred to as a posterchild for violence in video games; even though it's been over ten years.

I just hope churches don't start jumping on it. That just makes more intelligent Christians look badly.

Thats probably what I'm going to end up doing, its impossible to upgrade my computer since its a laptop, and I really can't afford a new one. Theres no chance of my current computer running it, not even badly. The annoying thing is that the only thing that dosnt meet the requirments is my video card.

Yeah, the funny thing is- about 3000 of those signatures are unreal, fake, and Doom lovers proving what a stupid petition that is.

I posted. I love Doom. And if video game violence has had any toll on me, I want someone shoot me. The day that virtual entertainment violence takes over my mind is the day I wish to be shot.

I've been playing violent video games since I was 10 and I *twitch* am *twitch* all right.

Doom, in all of its pixilated glory, was bashed when it came out for being too violent. Somehow, dozens of bloodsoaked hollywood movies just flew under the radar like the Terminator movies, the Die Hard series, and many other various action films.

HL2.... *drools* can't wait.

Oh, and here, i'll give you a few "satanic" and un-God-ish games I play and enjoy:

Silent Hill 3: You play as the mother of God; You fight God; You kill God.
Silent Hill 1-3: Reincarnation, references to God
Fatal Frame 2: Sisters must kill each other to please the God(s).
Devil May Cry: DEVIL May Cry. A half-demon saves the world. Ironic?

BloodRayne: The only game I've played where I see limbs and gore fly in slo-mo. <---Referring to the violence.

And movies like Terminator series, where judgement day and the apocalypse is by man/machines.

As far as any of those go- I havent seen a petition or anything bashing those games. And Slipknot still exists. There are 666s and pentacles at their concerts. Oh well. The petition wont change anything. e.e Im still glad and anxious for Doom3.

Hey!

Seriously, after reading some of those comments posted on the petition, I'm getting a bit pissed at all the God-dissing going on. How would they like it if someone came up and started talking like that about their dads?

This is also why I'm ticked at the maker of the petition; he put Christians in a REALLY bad light.

There are misinformed people in any group or organization. Oh, well. *Waits for Doom3
