Ignoring the rather pathetic movie featuring "The Rock", DOOM's 13th Birthday was yesterday (11-Dec-2006). Honestly I'll admit I was never hooked on DOOM, rather QUAKE was my first addiction to FPS games. Quake, Quake CTF, and Quake II wasted many a day during my college career (though I'm no worse of for having played till my hands went pins-and-needles on a few occasions....at least not that I know of so far).

I don't know if any of you out there are regular reads of theRegister but I their BOFH column is priceless for anyone working in IT. Their most recent Episode really made me laugh this morning. Canadian Site

Darin lead me to this: What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland   "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio. The Inland North   Philadelphia   The South   The West   The Northeast   Boston   North Central   What American accent do you have? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz I've always told people I don't have an accent (not that accents are bad things), I just always thought I was pretty neutral. (I can't believe the quiz doesn't ask about milk [Milk, Melk, Malk......people really manage to mangle that word].
