With games I think it's just that my reactions are slower and I am out of practice: I find I don't play as well on the same games I used to be pretty good at.
Oh well, there's still Civ ;)

Played any Quake Live? It's ridiculous.

I played one very z-axis level. Gorgeous design, mostly made from pillars. There's goodies on the pillars, guns down in the chasms, but going down there makes you an easy target.

Unless you rocket jump upwards between the walls. Bam bam bam bam, you're on top. Or exploded, if you have my reactions.

Not got to Quake Live yet - I tried it when it was still in beta, but not since then. I should give it a go again sometime.

An easier way of cooking brown rice:

Take 1 cup brown rice. Place in pan with 1.5 cups water. Bring to boil, cover and simmer for 1/2 hour. Then turn off heat and let sit, still covered, for 1/4 hour. Works for me. Volumes scale up.

Thanks!

21st-Century Shooters Are No Country for Old Men
Yeah. This old woman would like to see more female characters doing the shooting as I like shooter games. )
