    So they are using the old StarCraft and not the new upcoming StarCraft? I love the old StarCraft. I was really looking forward to the new one until they gutted it by removing LAN play. I would rather play the old version is all its 640x480 glory then play a LAN game over the WAN. Sure I have the bandwidth, but it's the principle. Won't someone think of the Zerglings?

    Hey, this is only tangentially connected to this story. I've been looking for a recent RTS game to play. Nothing like Starcraft, Command & Conquer, World in Conflict or, say, Supreme Commander. I was thinking closer to Age of Empires, Empire Earth, or more specifically Rise of Nations. Base building, resource micromanagement, age advancement etc. Any smart Slashdot gamers have any suggestions?

    TIA, and sorry about the off-topic. Any suggestions would be recommended.
