Get a zaurus It does all you want and more. Keyboard I'm not sure about. I know you can use an IR keyboard and I think I heard of an adaptor for plugging a keyboard into its sereal/docking port. It does have a little keyboard built in which I find works great. With email, you can get a wifi card and...

Geo-Mod sucks, because it's too easy for people to make a big hole in the floor and for players to get stuck in the floor (or in HighOctane's game's case, the walls and the ceiling, too). Aww, I never had that problem. Though, adding a climb key in the game would have helped a lot. You can avoid th...

It would still be nice to be able to go under water. Also it would be nice to have blow upable secrets (at least like D3 had) and other things that require "changing" the environment slightly. Of course it's up to them to design their game how they like. I will still play it no matter what...

I guess that's why buisineses are not installing SP2, including the place I work. You could always boot a linux live cd and then copy the stuff you don't want to lose off the hard drive before you reinstall your OS. :P

Here's a suggestion, which is completely unrealistic, but fun to think about anyway: 1) Create a physics engine that uses true finite element analysis. Realistic physics... Using Suncho 's method of criticism, how would all that make the game more fun? One thing you could get with realistic physics...

Good point. To me though I enjoyed it, kind of a "King of the Hill" type level. And also, the missiles (megas and smarts) respawn in random locations so eventually you would be able to aquire it.
