Updated DOOM3 SDK -- 5:17 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

id's Timothee Besset updated his .plan with word that there is an updated version of the DOOM3 SDK available for download. A Linux version of the SDK is also available.

In a related story, there is a Capture the Flag mod in the works for DOOM3 which will actually incorporate all the Quake III: Team Arena gametypes: CTF, Harvester, Overload, and One-Flag CTF.

Bleh -- 8:18 am CST, Update by The Master

I finally had a chance to install and play the Doom 3 demo last night. I did this at 11:30 pm, in a pitch black room. Maybe that's why every time the lights went out in a level it felt incredibly creepy. My only complaint is I swear I'm hearing sound snippets from Half-Life in some of the levels. I might just be imagining it. Also, running out of shotgun ammo while pinned in a corner really sucks. I will need to play this again tonight. Thankfully Santa already knows I want this one under the Christmas tree :-)

Half-Life 2 Available -- 8:13 am CST, Update by The Master

That's right, kids. Your Half-Life fix is now available for purchase. It should be on the shelves, and it is also available via Steam. Go forth and lose hours of your lives! :-)

A.T. Hun comments: And, ladies and gentlemen, we have our first major bug! Hurrah! Oh, and the authentication servers are borked too. Yay for mandatory online registration!

NFL Week #10 Final -- 11:00 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Since tonight's game seems like a foregone conclusion and I'm getting tired, here are the results for this week's picks. I went 8-6 while Eeyore went 10-4. Is it just me or are most games in the NFL just plain unwatchable anymore? Why has the league become so ugly? Why don't I have the NHL to fall back on now?

Instead of pondering imponderables as is my wont, I should add that I never posted the final score for last weekend. Doh! Last week I was an identical 8-6 whilst Eeyore was 7-7. Year-to-date (including both weekends), that makes me 87-57 (.604) while Eeyore is 84-60 (.583). Oh yeah, my fantasy team managed to score 100 points but still lost.

This concludes your weekly football ramblings.

UT2K4 3339 Patch Released -- 5:15 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Epic has released the 3339 patch for Unreal Tournament 2004. Beyond Unreal has the complete changelog and a list of mirrors for the Windows version. Make sure you install this patch after you install the Editor's Choice Edition Bonus Pack. I like the fact that the artillery explosion is no longer a lame looking sprite and that the reference to "green" bases in Onslaught have been removed. I'm using the beta 3339 Linux patch (which I believe is the same as final, although the "official" final patch isn't out). I'm pleased to report that decals work properly again. Huzzah!
