Doom Wiki
Yes, there's a Doom Wiki. Learn about Doom I-3, as well as Hexen and Quake and a few other similar games, including levels, strategies, diagrams... WHY didn't this site exist years ago when I was trying to get through all the levels in Doom II?
HERETIC Reloaded
Play Heretic in your browser via shockwave. Haven't tried this one yet but I remember vaguely enjoying the game way. back. when.
Eric Peterson: Scoble's wrong. Marketing sites don't need RSS.
Dear Eric: Scoble's right. You're just doing marketing sites wrong. Why *must* they have static content? Why *aren't* they conversational in tone?
DOOM Reloaded
Play DOOM in your browser via shockwave. I wasted WAY too much time last night playing this, trying to remember where all the keys were. :)
MASTERS OF DOOM
Interesting book showing the behind-the-scenes at iD from beginning to Doom III development. (I've linked to Diesel because stupid Amazon doesn't have Palm reader format, and I have no desire for yet another reader on my Palm.)
Dig Tank
Great new blog: marketing, business and trends. Some good thinking here.
Doom (2005)
Yes. They're making a film version of the game. I kid you not. I cannot decide whether to be horrified or elated, so I'm currently both.

Re: Eric Peterson... your points are valid, but your logic is flawed. Your points are not in any way mutually exclusive from Eric Peterson's points.

Eric is absolutely correct that Scoble's argument is wrong. Scoble asserts that all marketing sites should have an RSS feed. He makes no mention of their content, just an RSS feed. Eric Peterson correctly states that since most marketing sites don't have original and compelling content (he doesn't say that they *shouldn't*, merely that they *don't), the argument that *all* of them should have RSS feeds is wrong.

Eric goes on to make the finer distinction that sites with original and compelling content are the ones that should have RSS feeds.

You make the point that Scoble failed to make - that marketing sites *should* have original and compelling content.

And those that do would meet the criteria in the point that Eric makes, and would thus be good candidates for RSS feeds.

Thus, both you and Eric are right, and Scoble is wrong.

The most important thing is knowing. Everything will work out if you just remember to breathe. Chocolate is not for sharing. Beauty is everywhere if you just remember to look for it. Perfection is impossible but improvement can happen every single day. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light. Make a wish. Dance when the music moves you. If it's hard to say, odds are it's what the listener most needs to hear. Wear a new colour. Do that thing that scares you. Love as often as possible.
