On the contrary, I haven't had a problem with Nvidia for the past few releases until 10.04 (Kubuntu). Now I cannot enable compositing or even get nvidia-settings to save (even running as root). It also creates black boxes around the Kmail and Klipper icons in the system tray. This is running dual-monitors though, with Xinerama enabled. Disabling Xinerama lets compositing work, but, well, then I only get to use one of my monitors. Using the Nvidia drivers also make Plymouth look crappy (it's documented that only Intel drivers make it look good, I think).
Akonadi also fails on every startup, but this happened last release too, so it might be something I've been doing.
Other than that I've had no problems. Dual-booting works great for me (this used to not work), and I was prompted to install restricted extras (mp3-support, etc.) for the first time.
Although not entirely in the same line as MindRover, I used to play Robot Arena and, later, Robot Arena 2: Design And Destroy, which consisted of creating and wiring a robot which you then manually control in combat against either AI or human opponents, in arenas featuring hazards (hammers, electricity, saws, etc.) and ramps and pits. Besides direct combat, there were also King of the Hill and Tabletop competitions, the former consisting of competing for time on top of a hill, and the latter consisting of a battle that takes place on top of a balancing plane that leans toward the side holding the most weight, the goal of which is to either destroy the opponents, or knock them over the edge.

I learned from NFS3:Hot Pursuit.
Are you implying that Waldo got lost in time? That would put an interesting twist on the books, only having him appear at a certain time.
Excuse me, but I think you dropped this: ).
Look on the bright side: they might grow up to be 19-year-old girls with overpowered hardware on Slashdot.

A word of warning
This, combined with Google Maps or the like, could help in making a nice video game or two.

I have the sudden urge to test how well shampoo performs as an insulator... Thank you.
I thought it was going to be a Dalek joke...
