Half-Life 2 deathmatch? I am psyched... I still have fond memories of the clever aspects of multiplayer play in the original Half-Life, and this is going to have it all over that. Now I have to work on a proper taunt to use after clunking someone a good one with a toilet.

Heinlein novels -> films

Will we ever have the guts to make Heinlein's books into films? They have... and they were both horrible (in the sense of being faithful to the books): Starship Troopers and The Puppet Masters. I believe there was a poorly-done animated miniseries based on his book Red Planet as well. So, zero for zero so far (my opinion). Some of Heinlein's "juvenile" titles (the stuff that ran in the Boy Scout magazine) might make passable Spielberg-type films. "Rocket Ship Galileo", "Have Space Suit, Will Travel", "Star Beast", etc. are less controversial and simpler in plot and concept. I can't ever see a faithful adaptation of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" or "Stranger in a Strange Land" being made.
