Probably quite a bit of every technical article in every discipline has a non-trivial amount of content that adds nothing to the technical content. I used to read Byte magazine long ago and specifically for the Pournelle column specifically because it wandered all over the place on non-technical issues.
I wouldn't be surprised if the majority, probably almost 100% of 'popular' technical authors are popular because of the non-technical content as well.
Consequently it is condemnation of the type of content and not whether it is apt. And that really goes back to common current culture.

Guaranteed that culture will change. If you reject it then it can very well leave you cutoff from a great deal of society. Which might be ok with you, but I rather like hanging out with those younger than me, so I am certainly not going to reject them because of changing mores in speech.

I'll see them this evening, here I can't... I grew up with Doom II and I heard many people say it is similar to them.
I can only hope hype *_*

Yeah - Doom III wasn't my favourite. Too "on rails" for me, which I think was down to poor level design.

I found exactly the same problem, too many pre-arranged encounters with interrupting animations. I like to clear the angles with grenades but it was often useless due to the mechanic.

Let's put it this way: when you run DOOM IV, the Large Hadron Collider data collection stops.

Looks promising. It's been delayed a ton, so hopefully that means they took their time making the game they wanted to make. Lots of people have very strong feelings about what a "Doom" game should be, so no matter what they do, someone is going to hate it. Hopefully the number of people that love it outweigh the number that hate it.
EDIT: One of my favorite parts of the video is how much the crowd cheered when he picks up the chainsaw and then uses it for the first time. My 4-year old self has a lot of great memories using that thing.

Already I have seen the items #30(Kid with new shoes), #60(Great depression), #91(Hunger - Vulture waiting for Kid), #98(Moon) in past.
No.12(Baby fresh air) - Looks like a great idea but the cage setup should be strong & secure.
