RTCW is definitely worth a look. I'm not saying that the any or all of it is original but it's a nice and tight package. A great throwback to Wolf 3D, with topnotch graphics (Q3A engine), and a killer multiplayer mode reminicent of Half-Life: Counter Strike.
That and the leather clad Elite Guard women in single player.
I knew a guy in high school who bought an old PowerBook. He fried a chipset accidentally by bending a couple external connectors until they touched. Apple fixed it in a week (even overnighted it). Then he decided to do it again to see what would happen. He kept doing it and sent it to Apple for repairs enough times that they gave him a brand new laptop. This was just after they had introduced the iBooks and discontinued older models. So he got a new iBook for repeatedly frying the old laptop with a design flaw. What an ass.
While the Gamecube was delayed in the US, allowing consumers to adopt the X-Box fist, the Gamecude will be able to establish a decently library if games after its meager offering in mid-September.
It looks like each will premere beifre the other in their home markets. This however will be better for Gamecube maker Nintendo and Gamecube console owners. Microsft could take a loss for several quarters until they have asserted some dominance because of thier desktop stranglehold, while Nintendo has all their efforts in the videogame market. (Although the Game Boy divion is a safety net, after dominating the handheld market for more than a decade.) As long as the Gamecube is a success in Japan, we will see most if not all games translated into English, unlike what we saw with the N64's relative failure (in hindsight).

How did you feel about being Slashdotted? And did you expect this to happen?
