Very fast lines. try 10gb backbone. I know. I was there. I helped hook it up, even wrote the Perl scripts to launch the bandwidth testers (iperf). (SC2002);)
Still, 8.6/10gb from 10 machines with a 1gb fiber uplink each is not bad, the stabilized vegas stuff is not bad in low latency, low error networks. Screws any foolproofness in TCP, though.
Quake: In combat, jumping and throwing knives at your opponent is highly effective. Much more so than any attempts at stealth. In fact, a pogo stick should be standard government issue to all troops.
Half-Life: Whenever it's dark, and you come upon a ladder. Don't look up. That's when the face thingy jumps on you.
RTCW: As a sniper, your job is to kill the dumbest people on the enemy team. The ones who, even after being shot 20+ times, keep sticking their heads back up.
Soldier of Fortune II: In real combat, people like to yell a lot, so everyone knows where they are.
Medal of Honor: Keep to the side, remember to duck, and when in doubt, toss in a grenade. My co-workers think I'm nuts, but at least I will be able to reach cover when somebody sprays the hall with a MP40.
Battlefield 1942: The way to win any engagement is to grab a plane, yours or the enemies', fly to their battleship, parachute out, and singlehandly commandeer their battleship, and then ram it into an island.
Neocron: In the future, I will have a small, dingy apartment, a lousy set of job options, and if that is not appealing, I can always go live in the sewer, and kill rats. When this reality becomes too awful to contemplate, I can drown my sorrows and waste my hard earned money on strippers in Pepper Park, since there is no way I will every afford anything like a car... (Hey, wait a minute... Looks around at dingy apartment...)
If they outlaw overclocking, what the heck am I going to do with this cluster of Athlons with Peltiers ? I'll have to go underground, become a chip legger...
A dingy fellow on a street corner in the near future:
"Psst. Hey kid. wanna buy some overclocked chips ?"
This reminds me of all those silly arguments I've had trying to fend off folks who want to convince me that {Microsoft|Redhat|Intel|Emacs} are the right, true, noble things, and {Linux|Debian| AMD|vi} are wrong. I hate religious wars...
Just let me do what I want, so what if my processor fries, or miss out on the joy of installing rpms, I'll live.
Ohh, I re-chipped my car, too. Guess I'm next to be on the chopping block.
Sigh. I think I am going to go "fix" the Hollywood sign to say "WTF?".

Aha! The old "my stuff is so awful, we'd have to pay someone to hack into it" approach ?
That worked for the Indians, who had this strip of awful swampland in what is now Virginia... Oh, wait a minute. Never mind.

Oh, I think you could say "owned" alright...
