    * Edit: On a related note, I was reading on Eurogamer that Doom 3 has been leaked, then I checked a BitTorrent site - 26,600 people were downloading it at once. Whilst the game's still going to be flying off the shelves everywhere, that's quite a sickeningly huge amount of money lost, assuming that it's the real full game, and none of those people will now buy it (maybe some will though).

    You're forgetting that some of them probably wouldn't have bought it anyway. I've always thought the figures given by BSA, RIAA and similar organisations are pathetic. In their reports, they're inflating the amount of money lost by calculating each download as something that would've been purchased.

    Uhm... Other than that, I agree, it's probably a lot of money lost. And that's probably not the only active torrent either. And then you have the newsgroups and other P2P networds. So, yeah, it's a lot of money.

    (Btw, I've seen people talking about playing the game, so yeah, it's the real deal. The warez groups have people everywhere, so they usually receive a copy of the game before its release date. The chain between the developer and the shops have a lot of weak spots: Developer -> Publisher -> Duplication -> Shops -> Public)

    I think the thing is that you're not stealing a physical object. How about an example.

    John have never stolen anything before. Well, except for the pack of bubblegum he stole when he was 9 because everyone else he knew experimented with stealing. John is a nice guy with wife and kids. He pays his taxes, and even donates some money to charity once in a while.

    His morals forbid him to steal cars, computers, food, tobacco, telephones, christmas trees, dogs and babies. However, after a hard day's work he logs on to the internet where he's able to get the latest games and software for free. I mean, it's just data on his computer. 0101010110101011010101. How can that be considered stealing? He's not actually taking the data from anywhere. He's just copying it.

    Uhm... Anyway... That's what I wanted to say. That's why some people's morals doesn't say "uh-oh" when they warez things. If the story is incoherent, bad or something like that, it's because I'm stupid and it's getting late... Bye!

    Yeah, I know. For some reason my dad seems to have some personal conviction against R rated movies, which is all fine and good for him. I mean, if he wants to miss out on some of the best movies, that's completely up to him, but I hate how he imposes it on me too. Oh well, I've onlyg got less than a year of it left to go. Since graduating in 2003, my brother acquired quite a good collection of DVDs inculding a bunch of R rated films that I want to see. So, next summer we're probably going to hang out a lot watching them. Can't wait.

    If it's legal for you to purchase the movies and watch the movies, why don't you just do that now?

    :period:

    Ohhh man :) Anyone know which books they are basing this movie on? One of them? All of them? A select few of them? None of them? The Bible? Nancy Drew? I've read through The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe so far... Still in the middle of Life, the Universe and Everything... Got chills down my spine as I was watching the trailer... ahhhhhh :woohoo:

    (As a side note: Is it just me, or is Jedi Academy basically just like Jedi Outcast, only it sucks?)

    It isn't just you... I only played the demo though, but it certainly didn't make me wanna play more... there were way to many interrupting sequences (where the game takes over the control... I'm not a big fan of that.. especially not in action games), and the game just didn't feel as good as the previous one... meh

    Update on the theme song creator. First we have this:

    http://pc.ign.com/articles/451/451076p1.html

    Sources who know what they're talking about tell us that the progressive metal band Tool is doing an original song for Doom 3. We'd love to bring you more details on this but the fear that some sort of demonic beast will spurt forth from our stereos, turn off all the lights and start eating away at our tummies prompts us to avoid talking about this any further. We'll bring you more information once we get rid of our stereo.

    Then we have this:

    Chris Vrenna and co. were responsible for creating the theme music for DOOM 3, and made contributions to the soundscape of the game.

    -Xian

    Xian is the shacknews username of Christian Antkow (an id employee)

    Soo... hm... perhaps Tool performed the song, and Chris Vrenna produced it? Don't know, but it sure has a Tool-sound... not sure what to believe anymore :P

    The official site is now up. Just downloaded the intro music teaser, and it sounds a lot like Tool. They have been mentioned in rumors before (both Tool and NIN have been mentioned, with Tool being the latest rumor). But this song sounds very Lateralus-ish (the song, not the album), so I'm guessing it's tool. Judge for yourself
