Total Annihilation was a game with soul, and spawned a huge following. You can still find TA servers to play on today, and mods are still being developed. Supreme Commander (http://supcom.gaspowered.com/) is coming out this year, which is basically TA2, and looks equally delicious.

Who taught women to use a remote control?
