Take That, Monica! Kapow, Chandler!
By MATTHEW MIRAPAUL



On a coming episode of the television show "Friends," here's what might happen. Ross arrives and starts to whine. Suddenly an armor-clad warrior rushes in and with a blast from a space-age weapon reduces Ross to a pile of twitching viscera. But the show must go on, so Ross pulls himself together and rises to complete his sniveling soliloquy. Just as he finishes, he is slaughtered again. Call this episode "The One Where Ross Is Repeatedly Annihilated by a Plasma Rifle."

Except that this full-combat "Friends" takeoff will be seen on the Internet, not on television. And rather than a cozy New York cafe built on a Hollywood sound stage, the show's setting will be the futuristic digital scenery of "Quake III Arena," the ultraviolent computer game...

My question is how does the waitresses and massage folk afford such a dope apartment? Shouldn't the accountant have a better pad then the food slinger and whore?
I can hear the goose-steps getting closer.

It is going to be a lot of work adding two dimensions to those characters to function in a 3D environment!

Jim Rockford was beaten repeatedly for your entertainment.
