I'll second that. When I was a proper student and didn't have to get
up to go to work everyday (I'm on my placement year) I used to play
Quake in pitch darkness until way into the small hours with SAW II
coming out the speakers. It's the only time a computer game has ever
really got me shitting in my pants. I used to dump it everytime I
sneaked around a corner incase I was going to get completely nailed.

If the review I saw on this list earlier is anything to go by then the
levels in Quake II with all the lava in should be just right :-)
I always play Wipeout 2097 with Parasols volume 2 playing. It's a comp on
Mr C's label full of reasonably hard techno which isn't just that thump
thump
thump bizness I used to jump up and down to in Club UK :-)
On a different subject, was that O'boy single by Plod that a few folk were
talking about earlier a promo? I asked Juno records if they had it and they
didn't know anything about it.
