Please don't.
[and please don't buy an iMac for the purpose of playing Doom 3 acceptably - the 'Ultra' tacked onto the end doesn't change much].
On second thought, if you just run around the game without ever using the flashlight, you won't be able to see anything anyway, so you won't realize that you're only getting 13 frames per second!

Although I have to say that so much of the game is black, one could almost expect it to run on a RivaTNT.

1. A spacesuit with a large illuminated helmet with headcam so the aliens know where to shoot.
2. A large rifle with infinite rounds of ammunition with and grenade thrower and flame thrower, and laser pointer that shows everyone where you are. Glow sticks are optional.
3. A dodgy radio communications system that will alway pack up when you go into a washroom or are within 5 metres of an large alien with sharp teeth.
4. A state-of-the-art alien detector that tells you how far away the aliens are to the nearest nanometer, but won't tell you if they are
above or below you.
5. An android with reflexes faster than a laser-rifle, and an IQ to match your PC's clock speed, but who has decided to contemplate the meaning of life and become a buddhist monk instead.

Of course, every xenobiomelecular.. ologist.. person.. Knows that aliens give off radio interference that does _not_ comply with US federal regulations.

Obviously designed by Microsoft. Or open source, but the open source solution is meant to mimic Microsoft's.

The android has reached a level of existence much beoyond our own feeble contemplation; the AI programmer thus has succeeded - I for one welcome... ah nevermind.

It is clearly written "id" everywhere. If you capitalized it like a normal proper noun, as "Id", that would be fine, too. Seeing as most people misprounce the name of the company as "eye-dee" instead of just "id", I can even understand writing it "ID", as in short for Identification. But for the life of me, I cannot see the logical thought process that went into concluding it should be written "iD", unless you have been left thoroughly confused by Apple brand names.

HEY GUYS DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE SECTION WHERE YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND GET ATTACKED BY AN IMP?
It's right after the section where an imp spawns behind you.
You know - on the level where there's that imp behind the boxes,... and the other one under the stairs - also I beleive there may have been a FUCKING IMP on the level somewhere too.
