As far as I've been informed (and who knows how reliable my info is), you are unable to open any ports on the box Clearwire gives you, which of course can be problematic for torrents or other p2p.

Lost Planet on PC is a huge offender on the "press start" port issue. The dumbest part is that the releases were not simultaneous, the PC version was after the 360 release, so they had plenty of time to iron something so simple out. And yet the game tells me to press A to pass this message, and the tutorial messages tell me to hit the black button or my L trigger. Fucking lazy port of a mediocre game, and it runs like shit too.

Most 4X games these days seem to allow you to more-or-less automate planet development. It does tend to get rather tedious building a new set of factories on every single new planet you colonize. Also, I seem to recall Caesar 2 allowing for automated battles as well, and I swear it worked far better than in MoO2.

More importantly, now I know I'm not the only one who ever played Ascendancy! That game was great back in '95 or whenever.
