I finally got to the final level on Quake III Arena, and while I'm not going to give up hope without giving it some more effort, I have a feeling I am never going to beat that Xaero character on the Hardcore skill level, which makes me boggle at those of you who can take him out on nightmare... I feel like a duck in a shooting gallery .
