I saw it on the Sci-Fi channel when I was younger. The brain still occasionally gets "Livin' in the 21st Century" stuck on loop.

That's just what a shill would say!
But yeah, seriously, drives me nuts. Microsoft releases an OS showing their lack of understanding of their userbase then proceeds to insinuate itself deeply into said userbase in an effort to manipulate it? Seems like if you were going to sink millions of dollars into that kind of subtle and pervasive marketing you could just put it into subtle and pervasive market research instead and not release a nuclear turd interface.
> Notch didnt make the movie, nor is Notch distributing the movie, and in all likelihood Notch doesnt even endorse the movie.
You were right until the third one. I don't know for sure if he endorses the finished product, but he let a camera crew follow him around repeatedly, so he at least endorsed it during filming.
> I'd suspect that this film has already been paid for (by Mojang)
By the people who Kickstarted it, actually.

It's a matter of national security.
Well, if they were going to start with DRMed Windows only games, the AAA name in the title served as ample warning. I used to just look at the games without checking the sysreqs because DRM-free was a given. But as soon as I saw the AAA name on this one, I got suspicious and for the first time in a while, looked closer.
Thanks THQ, because of you I'll keep a closer eye on the Humble Bundles from now on so I don't get burned by some indie dev who thinks DRM is a good idea!
Not gonna BUY the darn thing, of course, but thanks!
So so far, no regrets on the game front.
Gaming in general, though, is different. I'll never give a damn cent to anything 2 Player Productions does again because we're STILL WAITING FOR THAT MINECRAFT DOCUMENTARY. Nor the guys from Extra Credits because seriously, guys? All I have to show for it is a sycophantic youtube video, a fuckton of Internet Drama over money that never saw a resolution from either side, and someone trying to sell me life insurance.
Why so much hate for this game?
If it had been a new series I doubt anyone would have cared half as much. (Do you think they'll still be making Rage jokes in 10 years?) But Doom as a series was about fast gameplay, running and gunning, falling back to cleared areas (and sometimes meeting a toothy surprise), getting the hordes to fight amongst themselves. But apparently somewhere along the way they decided to make System Shock 3: SHODAN Goes to Hell instead. Some innovation was needed to the old series, but retooling it into a bad copy of another series isn't innovation, it's slapping an IP onto the wrong game.
I haven't heard of any natural predators that use projectiles shot from their bodies
