I think Warcraft 3 is pretty damned good, I still don't know why alot of people say its sucks in general or in comparision to Starcraft. I still love SC and play it on occasion but my RTS kicks are filled with WC3 until further notice. As for Spore, http://spore.ea.com/.
Although not gallantly displayed at E3, Will Wright's next project has received some attention this week. EA quietly posted the website for Spore and like the beginning of Earth, its quite barren. The newly posted site comes with a quick and humorous flash intro, a few screenshots and a few links to some news articles but no new details. We will try to keep you posted with new information as it evolves. Source: <a href="http://spore.ea.com/" target

There are numerous games that have created world like this from a Turn Based standpoint (u-planet.tourma.com was the best I ever played but unfortunatley it shut
The game sounds awesome, so awesome that I remember reading promises and previews for games of this type 8 years ago on my way to Florida with my brother (in PC Gamer). I am happy to see that someone is going to take a series stab at this genre and better yet to make it free. I am already on board for Beta... although I am sad that I wasn't allowed to break the story but I guess GameSpy does manage to get a few more hits. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/tgNET/smiles/Laugh.gif" border=0

IE, unlike Firefox, is defaultly open to getting adware/spyware and other nasty things, while Firefox turns those dangerous features off or simply doesn't have them (ActiveX Controls for instance). Thats basically why the who "misconception" started, and why it is somewhat true.
The way my guild does it is that if someone can use it then they get it. Except for Epics, they are rolled on freely unless they are class specific, otherwise if you have problems just use the Master Loot setting.

I would agree that Knoppix would be a pretty good way to go if you just wanna grab your files and then format
Interesting thought, but I think the kids would more likely to pirate than ask their parents if its a restricted game, even though alot of parents would probably buy it for them anyways. That would just piss off the game companies even more...

I mean you can't see R movies in Connecticut anymore unless you are WITH a parent, they can't just buy the tickets anymore...course sneaking in is way more fun....those were the days
