Barry was wiping the floor with folks in most of the games, too.

The Live DVD really made it nice. In addition to the 'all the games are
the same version, so there's no chance of compatibility issue' aspect,
there was also the 'WTF? I think it just killed the machine. But, it is
just a DVD, so a quick reset will damage nothing.'
Linux is nice and stable. I'm not saying otherwise. But any full-screen
games that grabs all the input can sometimes leave you high and dry.

It may be the incentive I needed to send my laptop out for repairs. It
will work on this computer, but I can't play it for long due to the
heat issue.
I've enjoyed playing StarCraft in the past, and was definitely familiar
with that sort of RTS. (Actually, I think of the genre, I've *only* ever
played StarCraft.)
For those unfamiliar with Warzone 2100 here's how it varies from some
other RTS games you may be familiar with:
* It uses 3D, the game play doesn't appear to lean on it too heavily, but
it allows you to do things like zoom in and out, and rotate the map as
you wish for a better view. (When you win there are fireworks.)
* There is only one kind of resource.
* There is not a fixed type of unit: Most of the units are designed before
they are built. This includes body type, wheels and guns (or tools).
* There is only a single race. (The fact that there is only one race is
totally moot when you can build totally different types of units.)
