Arrgh. I can't find my Doom 3 CDs.Last night, we watched Doom. It was quite ok. It wasn't as good as I expected, but at least this adaptation wasn't too far from the game. At least they didn't change things that gamers like myself would notice, like weapons and creatures (like this nice Hellknight on the left. The Hellknight managed to get in the movie.)

But I do want to say this:-
There are times when the best thing to do to help yourself is to turn your eyes outwards, away from the inside.
And lest I forget, I'd like to say thanks to Nikki for those great abandonware links! I'll write soon.
