It's obvious we need a real way to settle this argument. We couldn't get The Dutch Hoon and John 'The Dragon' Giorgis into a steel cage, but I think we can get these two to play a couple of net matches to see who is better: The Indy Fool with a keyboard and joystick, or UK's Andy 'Not The Dishwashing Liquid' Falcon with keyboard and mouse. So each player chose five Deathmatch type games that can be played on the internet. If no games match then we'll ask if you will agree to something from the others list. If that doesn't work then the list we ask that you both stop discussion the subject. And apologize. Kevin T. Let's get ready to Alt+Shift+F!
