Since you guys crashed the site that TFA is from: -_-

Usually the way it works is like this: I am playing a ranked match against somebody named some variant of '420niggah' (classy I know) and as soon as I am about to drop a coup de grace, they just quit. YOu what would make that even more fun? Losing real money each time it happens. No thanks.

I would imagine that a disconnect would mean loss.

What could possibly go wrong? From the BringIt.com rules page: "When the game is completed, both you and your opponent must report and verify the results." If my experience with the gamers on XBox Live is any indication, maybe 1 in 5 of the losers will report it. And 4 of 5 of losers will 'dispute' the results.

I would hope that contested games get verified by a neutral third party, and that frequent false verifications would flag an account for banning.

I know I would put myself in the "novice" category to give myself a better selection of gamers to play increasing my payout. I'm not saying I'm primed to compete against fatal1ty or anything, but I do like easy money.

Mod this guy up, slower traffic keep right.

This is a major problem in the widwest where timid drivers like to pick a lane and stay in it. You couple that with the people who speed up to not allow others to pass and you end up with a moving roadblock going 5 under the speed limit. On one occasion I was in a hurry behind these Vogons of the road and was a complete and total jerk and passed them on the shoulder. They flipped me off, I smiled and waved since I got what I wanted... clear road. Nothing is more beautiful.

I'm not a fan of the current trend of driving with the brights on either.

Games that I have played on Win7 RC:

Team Fortress 2
Left 4 Dead
(Other Valve Games)
Age of Conan
Empire: Total War
Medieval 2: Total War
Oblivion
Aion

Oblivion had some problems after one patch and I had to end up blowing the settings information out of the user profile to get it running again. Aside from that, it's been good to me.
Also worth noting, the hibernation seems to not like my old Nostromo n52, it makes my computer hard reboot. I haven't gone through much troubleshooting on it though.
