But all the other cooling fans, floor fans and AC noise in the room kinda just mixes all together into a white noise floor. I just pop on my sennheisers and put some tunes on.

I agree with whoever said D3 isn't worth it, though. It isn't. Carmack's inability to design with a palette other than "256 shades of black" runs old after a while. Nice engine, very pretty, the monster models were fantastic (when I saw the Guardian the first time it was awe-inspiring), but you tired at squinting at stupidly dark environments and gameplay is the shits. FarCry kicked its ass, IMO... it also got a little repetitive towards the end, but the different environments and methods of gameplay (rambo, sneak, run'n'gun, etal) really kept it mixed up and fresh for a lot longer than D3's "enter room, back up, shoot monster that appeared out of little closet".

I can't wait til the modders get a hold of the engine though. Attached to a game with a worthy story and play, d3 could be awesome.
