What was with that "healing salve" scene with the Vulcan and the Earthman....it seemed to be a little....explicit, especially for Star Trek.
Those seemed a lot more like a porno than a sci-fi show to me.
My roommate is playing with an NVIDIA TNT video card. While agree that it is a bit behind 3d wise, once he dropped a few graphics options down he still got quite a good display. However, he just HATES the Demo version. The graphics server was changed or something he is getting less than half the frame rates (40 fps to ~18 fps). Plus some of the textures (railgun room in q3test1) are now displaying just ugly where before they were just like mine (I use a Voodoo 2). We went through and compared everything under driver info and they were all the same. We sent a bug report with screenshots to ID, no response yet. The demo he finds crashes _much_ more often than the test, as do I. (Win32 and Linux platforms respectively). Overall we both have found the Demo version to just be a lower quality game than the test (1.08) was.
that one guy was spraying his keyboard, and it did still work afterwards
My roommate spraypainted his keyboard so that the letters wouldn't mess up his dvorak. Then for an added touch he spraypainted the mouse along with it. Rather interesting mixes of black and green!

Just our 2 cents...

My roommate had this mentioned in his electrical computing class at Rice today.
