a nice options menu where you can change what's allowed - like the one worms had to allow you to customise the numbers of each type of weapon. I would like to see the ability to choose which flags are included in the game. Having said that a lot of the flags are great fun, narrow and wide still make me laugh :). All the person needs to do is get on top of a high platform, and thats it, everyone is dead and stay that way until he decides to drop the flag. I do have one gripe though, some of the flags are REALLY anoying if playing with only a few people, homming missle being one of them. I have to say this thing rocks, multi platform, network play, LOTs of players on line a once, serious good fun. I wasn't convinced when I first loaded it up and had a tank which could jump and very simple graphics, but then we started playing. I LOVE this game, I came across it a month or two ago while looking for 3d games that me and my house mates could play, even on low spec / linux machines. just because you don't have a really cool job doesn't mean they don't exist. To address your claim directly: I'm still studying computer science (that's why I'm telecommuting some of the time) - and I'd say my coworkers share my interests far more than my classmates, and my coworkers are most certainly better coders and teachers than my professors (I learn far more from talking to and working with them than sitting in class). Thing is, they're rare - I was damn lucky to find this one. We'd go to parties together (one employees' daughter dictated a list of who she wanted to her 4th birthday party - and it was more than 50% coworkers, myself included), had (and have) a company band, used to have intercompany Nerf fights (now replaced by frequent Birkball games). When the core engineering group went to lunch together, we'd all geek out 'bout the same stuff (for that matter, we still do, when I'm not telecommuting). I understand that the year before it was XPilot.

My first year at, we had big bzFlag games every day around 5:00 or so. Once you get a "real job", you'll never again work with a bunch of people who all share your interests.
