Okay, I'm Going to Have to Buy "Doom 3" Now

by Joey deVilla on Mon 23 Aug 2004 12:11 PM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

Latest Update: Quentin Smith is hosting the file here. Muchas gracias, Quentin!

Update: The server got hammered, so the file's been taken offline.

Judging by this video [7.8 MB Windows Media], Doom 3 is either a very scary video game, or these two have a budding career in horror-slasher films playing "the killer's first two victims".

Warning: You might want to turn down your computer speakers before playing this video. These guys scream like hyenas in a wood chipper.

I'll bet these kids look exactly the same when they place the winning bid on eBay. Click the picture to see the video.

I have to label this "NSFW" because it's making me giggle aloud in a highly unprofessional manner.

Ok, so for added fun, pretend that this video shows them looking at a naked woman for the first time.

'Coz, y'know... that may indeed not actually happen... ever.

If they ever do a remake of weird science in Swedish (or whatever language this happens to be), though... these are your boys. Or bØys as the case may be...

Oh c'mon, it's obviously so fake. How can you play Doom 3 or run backwards when your hand's not at the keyboard but at the top of your head?

Not very well, but you can play it that way.

It had to be taken down -- the server was getting hammered. Hopefully someone you know downloaded it!

Hey, if you put http://freecache.org/ in front of the URL for your file, it will be cached on another server, and take the load off your server. See http://www.archive.org/web/freecache.php for details

Not so much that the server got hammered and more that Joey is running a freebie account that I don't want to pay the bandwidth bill for ;-)

I'd be happy to provide a fast mirror for the video... it couldn't generate more than a couple hundred GB of traffic, eh?

Send me a copy and I'll have it up in a few minutes...

It would be so helpful if someone could post the filename and a TTH, SHA1 or MD5 hash (a bitzi.com link would be nice as well)...

About This Blog

Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:

In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.

We then made a solemn vow to live in a way to keep our ratings up.

This is the continuation of that story.
