I forgot about Doom 2's SSG. I loved that thing too! What's not to love about having all that power with a single press of the trigger? All you need to do is adapt your fighting strategy for the long reload and very short range. Doom 3's expansion pack (which I also have) has a SSG and that too is.. ahem... 'fucking ridiculously powerful'. Further more it also has the same set up as Doom 2 and makes for a nice change to Quake's pump-action.

I too have no idea how much my desktop. I've had this same tower for like a decade and changed bits and pieces over the years. It can play Crysis 3 on medium settings without problem, not that I would want it to because Crysis 3 is rubbish. So it is everything I need. I tried Crysis 3 on my laptop and it played it fine on medium to high settings but under the left-side of the keyboard became red hot, so much so that it was painful to touch for a moment :\

But then I don't care because that's why I still have my desktop. Afterall it's not a gaming laptop but it's nice to have all that power, and memory (it has a 1TB HDD), knowing that I can play my favourites.

Dark Forces's later levels (on Hard) are quite a challenge. Plus so are the Tank Commanders in Quake 2. So using the over-powered guns does not feel cheap. Although I do agree with you that games that can't get the balance right and make you want to avoid using some weapons/items ruins the fun. Unreal and Quake 2 are guilty of this.

I found that monster down a dark corridor and he was at the end. From memory it had antlers.
