DOOM III Screenshot-Making Engine Now Available For Licensing
id software's Todd Hollenshead announced in a press release that the successful Texas company has begun licensing DOOM III, their cutting-edge screenshot-making engine. "We're really excited to once again bring the pinnacle of screenshot technology to the market", Hollenshead explained "and we know a lot of very talented companies will use the DOOM III engine to make screenshots in ways we couldn't possibly anticipate. That's the beauty of it; it's the most advanced screenshot-making technology on the market, and licensees can really let their imaginations go wild."

When Hollenshead was asked whether or not id software ever plans to do anything other than make screenshots, an awkward silence descended. Then he was told that joke about Romero doing telemarking and everything was cool again because he was laughing and stuff.

Nope, MacGamer's Holiday Gag Issue

The Onion is too racy now... What with poorly drawn animated mouse breasts and all.....

Ohhh I just read a small spoiler...

Do the old Drag over Text to read It:

Spoiler Alert!
You start the game as a marine walking through a research outpost on Mars. "You don't jump into the action right away. As soon as you want to begin, you report for duty and go out on patrol," Willits says. Before long, a gateway to hell opens, leaving you as one of the few survivors. Ah, but seeing as how you played the original Doom, you already knew that. But did you know that there's an ancient civilization buried deep in the heart of Mars? Did you know that this had also happened centuries ago and the demons were beaten back with some ultimate weapon?

While the folks at Id didn't have any artwork to show of this nifty bit of alien gear, we can give you a hint: The new weapon, called the soul cube, has nothing to do with Hellraiser. This contraption, though, was powerful enough to beat back the demonic hordes once. Realizing its power, the hordes grabbed it and brought it back to hell to make sure it couldn't be used again?which means you're going to have to go down into the bowels of the underworld, where this superweapon is being guarded, retrieve it, and stop the inevitable invasion of Earth. OK, end of spoiler.

End Spoiler.
