Doom 3. Holy crap. I'm still on the second level and I will NOT play it in the dark! The graphics are amazing and the first level sets you up so perfectly in the whole Doomy mood that when the zombies start crawling out of everywhere, it scares the piss out of you. Anyone else play it?

I'm not a video game fanatic. But it would probably scare the pee out of me.

I played Doom ONCE at some video game store. It was creepy, but I still played it for a while... 15 minutes worth of half the first level ? I don't remember.
It was after I was told I had to leave that I got totally freaked. I turned back to use up the rest of my bullets or something, and some zombie just popped around the doorway and freaked the crapps outta me. O___o
The movie was awesome though.

I'm a Half Life fan myself, although Doom is fun. I find Doom lays it on a bit thick, and the focus is centered too much around scaring you, and not gameplay and whatnot. Half Life 2 is still freaky, especially those God damn fast zombies that launch themselves at you at like, Mach 10, and look like skinless humans with tentacly things on their faces that also leap at you at Mach 10. Also they make neat noises, that are kind of freaky, especially when you're surrounded by bloody booby traps, and bits and pieces of people and zombies in a city that was once normal. Also, there are a few bodies pinned to telephone poles and stuff, just for good measure. Go Half Life.

I have Halflife 2 on my computer too, but I haven't tried it yet. I want to get through Doom a bit more, practice my first-person shooter skills since I put on a cheat that won't let me die. That game still terrifies me though.
I loved the movie too. The shooter scene was amazing. More of the movie should have been filmed that way.
My friend who fixed my computer for me and put some games on it(pirate, lol...) will not play Doom 3 alone in the dark. He won't even play it with a friend at night. He showed me the final level and there were some horribly mutilated bodies hanging on walls and the ceiling and everything. They were rendered in exquisite detail and disturbed me. He told me about this one game called F.E.A.R., I think. The entire purpose of the game is to scare the piss out of you. It is made for surround sound and the graphics are even better than Doom or Halflife. My computer can't handle it, since it can barely handle Doom, but I don't think I'll be playing it even when I get a better video card.

Doom 3 scares me. I played it at my uncles house and I kept screaming. I didn't even get that far. With the blood and the monsters and the darkness it's creepy. I heard about F.E.A.R. It's about this dude who goes crazy and starts eating people in this company building and you gotta go and stop him, but he has all these people with him or something like that. THere's also this weird little girl with long black hair and a red dress. She makes things go BOOM.
I like Resident Evil 4 most out of the "horror" genre games. It's not that's scary but it's hella fun. You get to suplex people.

Frag. I just got off playing again. Them zombies can climb! This one climbed up a grate and moaned at me. Luckily, that was one of the ones I saw coming. Nasty stuff. They made me scream. Goddess.... My heart was pounding... Why can't horror movies be as good?

Because movies aren't as immersive. In Doom you control the character, make the decisions, take on the role of the character. In movies you see it from a third person perspective. I didn't see the Doom movie, but I think they tried to capture the first person factor in the movie, and I heard it didn't work at all.

I saw the movie and thought the first-person shooter scene was excellent. It was probably the best part of the movie. More should have been filmed like that. The filmmakers of that movie have a stupid sense of humor. Several dead scientists/zombie scientists were named after some of the people who worked and the movie. Also, one character in the movie was nicknamed Pinky. Later, he turns into one of the monsters. It was the type of demon called a Pinky Demon. I saw the demon and was like, "Cool! The Pinky Demon! Wait... Those idiots! Why?!?" Silly visual joke. Did I say this already on another board?

Dunno. You know what I discovered on the weekend? That the military has a sense of humour. An unfunny, tragic, and cruel to the point of being malicious sense of humour, but a sense of humour nonetheless.

What would that be? I'm a little slow on politics/witty jokes so don't expect much from me =D.
Wait, a monster in DOOM 3 was named the Pinky Demon?

Yesh. Not completely officially in the older ones; it was dubbed that because there are so many kinds of demon and one just called "Demon" was kind of odd.
Why do they have such a twisted sense of humor? I haven't heard of this yet. But then again, I hardly watch the news. I watch Farenhite 911 a while ago and the soldiers in Iraq said they had heavy metal music played into their head phones for them to kill to. Brainwashing? Maybe, if it's true.

That would be stupid. What if a shell was about to hit, and some guy was like, "Run!" but it didn't go through the headset, and you'd be too busy headbanging to notice. Yeah, I'd be standing there headbanging and getting shot at. Bastards.
