Then again, I think that Forza 2 did the same thing in a video maybe? and that was fine.

Now I need again a list of good, simple, cheap and or free games to play, demos are fine, full games are fine, mods are fine - I'd strongly prefer things withOUT a heavy learning angle, things which can be copied from one machine to another are nice without requiring an install.
Last lan, for reference.
Soldat was surprisingly popular (google it, it's a modern day abuse)
L4D was good but I fear its popularity with this crowd has diminished extensively.
TF2 was popular but can be played online
Flatout 2 is always a quick blast.
"1nsane" is really good fun
I wanted a 3D simple flying shooter and had trouble isolating one (be it eval, demo etc)- sadly they didn't seem compatible with modern OS's (XP32, let alone the Windows 7 64bit build I use now)
I found Red Baron 3D and some other package very similar - both of which simply didn't work :(
(Any suggestions on something like this? A simple mouse controlled flight game could be great)
Standard Quake 1 and Doom 2 matches will occur as will Quake 3 and they are always fun for 1 to 4 hours but it'll be a long LAN - so any suggestions would be nice - also something not requiring a monster PC.
Yes, I'm going to be re-posting this in the next chatty too, so you can't hide - make yourself useful and be the person that suggests the winning game, you'll get abrasion credits, which you can redeem for prizes.

Well I think we can all say that their showing was pretty cool. As most of you may or may not know I am quiet the MS fan and appreciate what MS has done and is doing. But there is one huge major flaw that I was hoping that MS would address.
Check list:
- Download music
- 1080p movies
- * Digital download Games *
- etc
I love all these new things but what seems to be missing from this picture that is well to be quiet frank f%%$ed up?
Where the hell are we suppose to store all this shit? I have two 120 gig hard drives and that coast me $300 buck, WTF I know.

To me if MS would say we now have a new E-SATA, SATA, SDD, 2.5, 3.5 generic harddrive adapter in preparation for all this new content would have been the best thing announced.
Can anyone explain where and how we are suppose to store all this stuff, will we stream it off our PC’s?
Any comments?

Is this something to do with the story being difficult to translate or it being unfaithful to the book or something? So far it looks kind of cool.

some of those are great, i want to make something original along those lines....
anyway, i'm sitting here with gimp open and would like some tips in the sense that...what do you look for in a card? do you like a simple approach or something that dazzles? lots of details about you on it or only your name and contact address? colourful or dull? rectangular or some odd shape?
also, as a unique case, would you include the name of the place where you are studying or just leave it out?
