You know what I learned from "team" projects in college?
The point is not to get the best grade in the class. The point is to learn how to work together with people so that you can accomplish greater things than any of you could have done by yourself. When you learn that, you will not only pass, but you'll be in the running for the best grade in the class, without even trying.
You can usually get by in the world if you macho through everything by yourself. You can excel in the world when you learn how to work with people.

Not true. As a child I read more books by far than anyone in my class, but I was never a particularly good speller.
Konami Announces a Game Based On a 2004 Battle In Fallujah 644
The LA Times reports that Konami has announced Six Days in Fallujah, a video game due out next year that is based on an actual battle fought in Iraq in 2004. Quoting:
"The idea for the game ... came from US Marines who returned from the battle with video, photos and diaries of their experiences. Instead of dialing up Steven Spielberg to make a movie version of their stories, they turned to Atomic Games, a company in Raleigh, NC, that makes combat simulation software for the military. ... 'The soldiers wanted to tell their stories through a game because that's what they grew up playing,' said John Choon, senior brand manager for the game at Konami... More than a dozen Marines are featured in documentary-style video interviews that are interspersed with the game's action. The Marines reappear in the game itself, doing pretty much what they did during the war. One tells the story of how he furiously wrote a letter to his wife and begged a chaplain to give it to her if he died. Another, Eddie Garcia, talks about how his right leg was shredded in a mortar attack, and how he suffered survivor's guilt after he was taken out of combat."
