The guy that gave us QuakeWorld wants us to go back to playing Doom over
serial ports.

Its like USB but not universal. :D
Did we use up all our rage on IW or is it a crime to question the Carmack's
infinite wisdom?

Rage is an overdue title from ID that is shaping up to be just like every
single other game from ID. In the mid-nineties, they were leading-edge, but
these days, they are retro.

The fact that iD claim that the console & PC games 'are essentially the
same' will be enough to make many people sit it out. The lack of dedi
servers isn't going to be the games only weakness.

So, another $50 (or $60) tech demo for their latest game engine?
