Re:
I don't think Graf is a jerk. I like to think of him as being to-the-point and decisive. I also like to think of him as looking like this:leileilol wrote:Zdoom, because doom in any other bit depth, along with 'proper perspective' just has no charm. (and depth)
Plus the main author is not a jerk.

I always think of him as a talking disembodied Ghostbusters logo...

I used to use Zdoom with Gzdoom only when I needed it, but I've since just moved to Gzdoom with GL turned off. GL is nice and all, but I prefer the software renderer.

Hmm.. for some reason I thought Graf Zahl translated roughly as "Count (as in royalty) Number," although google translate does not seem to confirm this. Maybe I'm wrongVaecrius wrote:I always think of him as a talking disembodied Ghostbusters logo...

If that was true, then I find it rather awkward.bagheadspidey wrote:Hmm.. for some reason I thought Graf Zahl translated roughly as "Count (as in royalty) Number," although google translate does not seem to confirm this.

cf. my prior bitching about the new forum's default layout putting avatars out of their obvious place and how I use them to recognize people.

Re "Graf Zahl" being translated as the Number Count: Indeed that is the name of the Muppet in Germany. Why Graf uses this name is beyond me... but at least "Zahl" looks close enough to "Zuul", so the Ghostbusters thing works great for him.

Maybe Graf has a thing for the Count...

ROFL! I thought there might be some connection, but I figured it was just something Graf had made up - check this outDoomRater wrote:Re "Graf Zahl" being translated as the Number Count: Indeed that is the name of the Muppet in Germany.
