BGG, thanks for the info. Although that kind of think doesn't rock my boat currently, I may try it out.

I played Cosmic Encounter a few times.
I thought the "evolution" aspect quite original, although the rest of the gameplay eludes me, 10 years on.
As far as online gaming goes...World of Warcraft.
It truly is the mutt's nutts.
Yeah, 13 yrd old online kids exist anywhere on line. The trick is to form a Guild of like-minded players and keep the idiots out.
Which is exactly what we have done.
Our membership is mostly aged 20+, and we are geared up for inter-Guild help and advice, especially for new players. You wont find a new player to the game being derided by Guild Members. The last member that did was kicked from the guild. We dont want that sort of person.
We've expanded our Guild to incorprate more social elements as well, so we truly are a community. We use Teamspeak when online, for adventuring and general chit-chat. (including contract whispers from a regular IT chappie who runs his own business :-)
If anyone here does play WOW, and wants to join a friendly guild, here is our website. Pls be aware, that for some reason, the buttons dont load properly until you click one of them, then the site will work. Weird.

So AtW did nothing of the sort otherwise he would have gushed the results out like an excited schoolboy.

Originally posted by AtWOk, post here multiple nicks that you think belong to SupremeSpod before I announce results of IP/post correlation analysis based on an invisible image that I planted 24 hours ago.
There are some other interesting findings from it as well.
C'mon then "Oh Great and Mighty AtW", give us the results of your findings...

It didn't take long to grow tired of dealing with 13 year olds from Thailand.
Anyway back to the game, you can drive tanks, dune buggy type things, jeeps, fly fighters and helicopters - oh and kill people as well!!!

The software is "a bit buggy" but once the 1.03 patch comes out a few of the nigglys should be fixed.
WS if you've got broadband download the demo.
I'm not too sure about online gaming. Last year I picked up a copy of Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising. It didn't take long to grow tired of dealing with 13 year olds from Thailand.
Back when I was a lad, multi-player gaming meant you and your mate squeezed around a keyboard trying to complete Gauntlet. Now that was real gaming

That just what the giant alien lizards want you to think.
I mean, come on, where is this "Master Plan" and how come you haven't taken over the world and gobbled us all up ?
I know lizards are a bit on the slow side, but this is beyond a joke.
If we are going to be eradicated by a hostile, universe-conquereing alien species, then is it too much to ask that we get one that can do the job efficiently and expediently ? I want world-class quality invasion (like Independence Day), not this pussy-footing around malarkey.
Send in the real aliens please.
