------


Steamroll: never happens to me any more - I always only play the single player part of my games.
Last time, - ages ago, - when I still played online (but as single player, too), I first succeeded on many servers. Unreal Tournament "Multikill" "Ultrakill" and so on - until I made the mistake to shoot somebody belonging to a clan. Whenever I respawned, there were always three or four of his friends shooting at me at the same time. Was no fun to die during nine of ten respawns.
WoW or MMORPG- no way. Glues you to your computer - no time left for real life then.
