Okay - where's the griddle?

Looks like the Great Bogdanski (who is really a cool guy) thought this stuff was way too easy to waste a Socratic Method round on it. He's got a bullet with my name on it, but he's saving it, oh yeah, saving it for something that'll really scramble the ol' eggs. I think I'll decide to look forward to it. The allocation stuff turned out to be really easy. (And the answer is - loss incurred, or COSTS paid, so in the problems, it's when the loss was incurred).
With that reality facing me in the eyes, I think I'll talk a little more about UT2K4.
Turns out it's actually 5.5 gigs of gibby goodness. And at $39.99, a heck of a deal. So far, I've played a little CTF, a little Deathmatch...
And a whole lot of Onslaught. Wow! I need a voice headset, so I can give voice commands to my happy bots. Or go online and actually be able to co-ordinate. But a headset is $25-30 bucks. Maybe later. Basically, Onslaught is a game of connect-the-dots, where you have to draw a line from your base to the enemy's base. You can only attack dots that you have a direct connection to - no rushing the enemy base, because an IMPENETRABLE FORCEFIELD keeps you from damaging it at all. Fun, fun, fun. And what makes it even better is the addition of vehicles. I love being able to drive a tank in a game where people are running on the ground. He, he, he... And not only do you get to drive the tank, and shoot the big gun, someone ELSE can hop in the tank, and shoot the machine gun turret. There's one vehicle that the driver doesn't have any guns, but there are turrets that a bunch of people can jump in on. And another big bear with something like four turrets, and guns for the driver.
I also played one game of Assault - the objective-based game. Woof. Assault is hard. This is where you need to get a voice headset, so you can co-ordinate your attacks on various objectives. And my understanding is, the bots will respond to voice commands. "Alpha, cover me" and one of your bots drops what he's doing, and trots over.
Too cool.
