Yeah...

*wannahave*

I've always thought id-software would be pronounced like i-d-software... Didn't think of id pronounced as one word... Well...

no its "id" as im the human subconscience...or since I wanted to be precise I looked it up on webster.com and they said ID was:

In Freudian theory, the division of the psyche that is totally unconscious and serves as the source of instinctual impulses and demands for immediate satisfaction of primitive needs.

Just because you didn't, doesn't mean others wouldn't.

It was widely regarded by many people to be I-D software and they had to clarify it years back because so many people didn't know.

yeah this whole id things new on me too, thought it was two separate letters til this vid

#3.5 BTallack on 24 Jul 2004 - 21:07

I had to try to explain to pretty much every one of my friends that it was "id" not "i-d". I found out for certain when I ordered a doom t-shirt via phone years ago.

The one I downloaded was one file.

Great video.

It seems they did make a mistake, though. There's a part of the video where they show you the Doom 1/2 monsters and then morph into the Doom 3 (same) monster. They show a Cacodemon, then a Pinky Demon, but then when they show you an Imp, the Doom 3 counterpart looks more like the Arch Vile. I haven't seen the full game, obviously, but when I first saw that last monster (in Doom 3) I assumed it was the Arch Vile, not an Imp.

cool video

#11 warwagon on 24 Jul 2004 - 21:22

Hell must have frozen over
