Old ID software games

ID Super Pack

I’m a sucker for the old games.  For me the id super pack was too much to pass.  It comes with virtually every id game up to and including DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil.

When Steam came out, the idea of downloading games from the Internet was just plain silly.  Now I can get games via Steam and never worry about having the CD in the drive or re-installing and not finding the original disks.  Patching becomes easy too.

Looks like Valve software was ahead of their time. Since I can log in from all my PCs, I can pick which games to install and play them when I want.

Soon I’ll be heading out but when I come back I hope to be playing Commander Keen.

But I do have the authority to reject things

10 years ago, I had to be careful about what Dilbert cartoons could be put up in my cubicle since some of them were dead on accurate.

This one hits close to home for any one in Network engineering:

In my current job, this is more funny as we get lots done. But in my past life this kind of road block was a daily event. Putting up this one would have gotten me another talking-to.
