Yea, HAVING to practice takes all the fun out of having fun. Sux online 
sometimes 'cause I get owned by some kid more than 20 years younger than 
I am, , then when I fianlly get the bastart, I realize I got him because 
he was typing, , , usually telling me how bad I suck ,, which I already 
know. I play against bots a bit, , but I really want to get a hold of 
'07/ ut3 / whatever and make some mods. . unfortunately, , since my 
photoshop skills suck, , and the new one looks to much better than '04, 
, my stuff will look even WORSE in comparison, ,, ,oh well. . .
