Thanks for those who have commented so far on the last post where I asked if local co-op and versus gaming sill occurs, and so far it is unaminous - it's definitely alive and well! I'm glad because I know in my house it certainly is, with the FIFA 08 Championship taking place almost every day. I've finally updated the page on here with the latest scores and it's really close now. I'm still ahead on win/loss but Stu with his "fairer" play and a few massive wins has managed to sneak ahead on Lounge Points.
For those who haven't read the post below yet - please do as the three best comments will win a copy of Gears of War for Windows which I'll decide in the next few days. I finally loaded G4W onto my beastie at home to see how it looked and OMFG!
(2 x 8800GTX) + DX10 + Max Video Settings @ 1680 x 1050 = Winner
I was fairly certain it would run like a dream but until I saw it in person I wasn't 100% sure. There are a few very minor loading stutters between checkpoints but during combat I got a consistent and smooth framerate, and once I got used to the controls everything was good in the world.... except for the Locusts hehe. Also, it was the first shooter I'd used the SideWinder on and I am very happy with how it performed. I've always been a fan of MS mice as are 90% of the PC players at World Cyber Games but I just wanted a little extra weight in them and the SideWinder delivers that with its heavy 30g butt 
Keep those comments flying in and just a note to DarkArmada - I dislike you A LOT for introducing me to FreeCol as I'm extremely sleepy this morning...
