<div class="IPBDescription">r00fles</div>With DOOM 3 getting closer and closer every day, I thought it was time to share some DOOM humor. :D
Here are some definitions I found rather interesting in the Glossary section of the <a href='http://5years.doomworld.com/doombible/' target='_blank'>DOOM Bible</a> (DOOM 1's design document.)
For those that don't know about the game's development history, the original DOOM was meant to be a radically different game than what it ended up being, so its kinda fun to take a look at.
But anyway, here are the bits I found funny from the glossary. Some of these only people who were into DOOM editing will get. :P
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--><u>Delce</u>. Alfonso's utility to shab together and decompress a file that has been Ice-d onto a bunch of disks. Written mostly in a night, with Tom breathing over John's shoulder, saying things like, "What if they pull the disk out at this point?"
Perhaps the coolest install ever.
<u>Exclusive-Or</u>. Logical operation that evaluates to true only if only one or the other of the operators are true. So if either Tom or John are in the office-but not both of them, it is true that someone may be masturbating in the office bathroom.
<u>Hag Spot</u>. Location of the oldest member of Id. Related to the "Tag Spot," the place on a wall corner that Carmack's cat Mitzi suddenly runs at, rubs her declawed paws on, then runs past. Also, the "Shag Spot" is where Adrian is.
<u>lce</u>. John Romero's dandy Installation Creation Editor. Allows anything that’s been zip2exe-D (or whatever) to be chopped up onto separate disks, waiting longingly to be reunited with its brethren.
The new version will use IdPack, and not require that silly Wisconsinite's PkZipper.
<u>IGrab</u>. You grab, we all grab with IGrab. Seventeen projects later, IGrab lies with four stakes and ten silver bullets in its heart. Used by shab companies.
<u>Lumpy</u>. At 2:03am,Oct 20, l992,we were trying to think of a new name for SGrab,our Vga graphic grabber. Romero said "Lumpy," and it was love.
<u>Muse</u>. Torture in the form of an executable. Oh, yeah, you can edit PC and AdLib sounds in it. And import music. And see a digitized sound import that doesn't do anything. And see funny blue lines march across your screen. And save out five meg sound files. And have two red lines that show the end of the sound. And see a red line and no sound, though you can play it. And have all the maximum values suddenly disappear. All these features, and no damn cut and paste! For a ****' year!!! (But i'm not bitter ... )
<u>Patches</u>. We don't need no stinking patches...
<u>Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis</u>. The longest word in the English language. It means "Blacklung," the disease miners get from inhaling coal dust.
<u>Ted</u>. The <u>T</u>ilemap <u>ED</u>itor, laid to rest in 1992, after five resurrections. Failing his System Shock, Ted's dead.
Ted was used in an amazing fifteen Id projects before it was laid to rest. It
continues to be used by other outside developers. Ted is like an old friend that passed away -- and messed up memory with its "Display Unused Tiles" function
before he left
So many functions, so many uses, such a slow pattern flood fill -- Ted was where I lived for over a year. It’s time to move on -- though I may bed down with other programs, none will touch me like my first. I feel enough time has passed and I can now admit the truth-Ted popped my Id development tool cherry.
Yes, forty-five functions, twenty-seven hotkey commands, two of which Tom used: F9 and Alt-X.
Ted, oh ted, my Belov-ed, i can't get you outta my head. I may now use the tool DoomEd, but i am sorry you are dead.
<u>WAD</u>. Composite data file. Means "Where's All the Data?"<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Characters? BFG 2704? Bubbies? Different sure is right. Fairly amusing stuff, I'll keep reading.
I may not be a DOOManiac, but I am definitely a WolfManiac, what with having the official hint guide and all... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
