"We're also still working on the PC demo. Nearly everything is together for it, we're working on the intro and exit screens for the demo. Once we have everything together, all the text in the demo has to be sent out for translation, and the demo itself has to go through QA."
"And, let me say, it's a pretty big demo. It's not exactly like the shareware days of old -- we aren't giving away a third of the game, but there's still a ton of content there. I estimate it should take the average person an hour or two to get through it."

This is a nice initiative by the good guys at 3D Realms, where todays demos mostly are really brief, they're nice enough to give away up to two hour playtime. This made me think a little... why not make a come back of the shareware from the good ol' days, now when episodic content is becoming mainstream in the buisness? Give away the first episode for free, and buy the second one if you want to continue :)
