Rediscovering network mayhem

Yesterday evening I rediscovered the joy of virtual genocide over the network with Quake 3 Arena from my favourite gaming company ID Software. My workstation was blessed with a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 graphics card with 16 megs of RAM which assured wonderful graphics and gameplay too. Great weapons, wonderful maps with lots of eyecandy and dynamic elements, a cool cache of sounds, faithful music from Trent Reznor ... all in all, a rather rewarding/relieving albeit highly addictive experience. Be warned: guilty pleasures like this can eat into your time.
