UPDATE: As promised, here are thepictures:

One of the other guys who lives in my apartment,Rob, and his friend George, played Doom III onMonday. And Tuesday. Rob is a hardcore gamer. Robmay very well define the term “hardcore”. Heplayed through Doom III in 16 hours. One sitting.The man never got up for anything.

I woke up early Tuesday morning around 7 AM, andwalked out of my room to hear the sound of gunfirespitting across an empty corridor. Intrigued, Iwandered closer, and found Rob staring intently athis enormous monitor, mowing down creatures fromthe pit. I periodically dropped back in to checkout the game and see how they were doing.Observations that I made without playing the gameare observations that have already been stated:it’s repetitive, and dark. Very dark. Not scarydark, but “goddamn I wish I could just tape thisflashlight to my gun” dark.

I’ll have before and after pictures of him upsoon, I hope. I figured it was the sort of thing Ishould properly document.
