Re:what the hell is a "stonker"?

Could be. However, the word "stonker" is certainly attested as both a noun and a verb, in a few different somewhat related meanings. Discussion of it is to be found here.

Doom 3 was mostly confined to small spaces and corridors. If you watched the fucking trailer you would see a lot of the fight scenes take place outside. Bigger monsters, bigger areas.

Unprofessional Teaser

The movie wasn't exactly worth the download. It's too short, doesn't show much in terms of real gameplay, has no titles, and abruptly ends. Dial up users may want to skip this one.

I guess you could say its the British equivelant to "da bomb".

Comedy Relief had whole theme about it years ago, including a song by two British comedians. http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-sto3.htm has even more.

Quake3 was right on

After they got through with all the patches and updates, Quake3 along with OSP came pretty close to being the perfect deathmatch FPS. It didn't make it easy on the newbies, it didn't have a ton of eye candy, it had its share of bugs and glitches. But when it came to measuring skill vs skill, few games compare.

I was hoping that we'd see Quake4 integrate OSP and its competition oriented features, but it doesn't look like that'll happen.
