Now that's the real HL experience :) [...in all fairness, I've had no problems with the skipping bug...]

    Apparently this cosmetic tarting-up of one individual PC matters so much that it has been on the front page of Slashdot three times.

    Wouldn't a Doom3 case mod just be painting the case brown/green and sticking it in an unlit closet?
