Inaugural Doom 3 Championship Winner

Atomm here, live from Quakecon 2004, where I just witnessed the final match of the Doom 3 Championships. This matched pitted Daler from Austin, Texas against none other than fatal1ty from Kansas City, Missouri. In an interesting twist of fate, fatal1ty came from the loosers bracket in this double elimination tournament. Even more interesting is the fact that it was Daler that put him there.

This looked to be a close match. In the end, Daler was no match for the skillz of fatal1ty, who beat him hands down, in both matches. Wish you could have been here. We will see you next year!

QuakeCon here we come!!!

Atomm, BlueGuy, Breaky, ephil and Goose are about to take the trek to QuakeCon 2004!

Be sure to check in with us on tons of pics, news and maybe a few videos of QuakeCon 2004!!!

The Sound Of Doom 3

MP3.com has a really cool interview with Chris Vrenna, formerly of NIN. If you didnt know, Chris is the mastermind behind the dark, eeriely cool music from Doom3.

In 1996, the inclusion of a soundtrack by Nine Inch Nails in the computer game Quake made it clear to anyone watching that entertainment categories had blurred and that gamings importance as a vehicle for music was just beginning. The blood-splattered world of Quake (like Doom before it) was key in the drive toward a personal cinematic experience–a Holy Grail to which many of the best video games aspire. A crucial element for a convincing, compelling experience is sound, and the era of the celebrity sound designer for games now overlaps neatly with the fame of celebrity producers.
