    Jesus F. Christ. 0 comments and already slashdotted. I mean, really, editors. Jeez. Give us mirrors. Slashdot is a page whose main content isn't in the articles, it's in the links and comments. If the links are gone, the comments become troll, offtopic, or generally stupid. Do something to protect the content, please.

    Jesus, nothing compares to the intro of Half-Life. I thought I had accidentally bought a movie considering how long it was.

    OK, in what way is a lengthy comment on the shortcomings of a game, in an article about that game, 'Trolling'? Holy crap people piss me off sometimes.

    Hey John,

    Did you guys do any testing on nForce2 motherboards? The sound starts to crackle after a random period of time, when in surround mode and using 5.1 -- is this a Doom3 sound engine problem, or a nVidia/nForce problem?
