I’ve been playing Doom 3, single-player campaign. Cripes, this game scares the shit out of me! With surround speakers, playing in the dark… it’s just plain creepy. And then the occasional spring-loaded Imp just shoots me right out of my chair.

I dig it!

But, I just let my brother play it. Set up another account on my PC for him. But all my saved games are there when loads it. If he plays, he’ll overwrite my saved games! They store the saved games under C:\Program Files!

What kind of crap is this? This is the sort of rookie mistake I would expect from a novice programmer. Anybody who has used Windows for more than a week should understand that Documents and Settings is the place to store user data like saved games. Where are their heads?

I found, I could just rename C:\Program Files\Doom 3\base\saved_games to saved_games_Ron, to protect my saves from being stomped on. Later, I’ll rename it back. But I shouldn’t have to do crap like this.
