Doom 3 Duct Tape mod
I have never been a fan of horror films, or infact anything in the slightest bit scary. So the reason for buying Doom 3 on the day of release must have been just to marvel at it's amazing game engine.
I played it a bit, but soon got annoyed with the game. It followed the same style of gameplay as the original Doom (perhaps they were going for this), which is dated. Walk down a corridor and a secret wall behind you opens up with a monster in it. I mean, really, can we get past that now? I don't know many organisations that have secret walls...
Still, it scared me, which I guess was the idea. So as the pansie I am I went to download a rather excellent mod for the game. The "Duct Tape" mod. As yes, the game is mostly shadows and such, so you have to keep your flash light on hand most the time, which makes it difficult when monsters are trying to eat you (or whatever).
The author of the mod found himself thinking that in the far off distant future on a research lab on Mars, somebody might have had a roll of duct tape so a flash light could be taped to your gun.
Alas with the 1.3 patch out this mod seemed to break. Without much help kicking about on the net. With a bit of guess work I just did the obvious...
