Tremulous looks cool, especially playing as an alien, I like pretending I'm
spiderman.

I haven't _played_ it yet, as it looks like there is some degree of learning
involved with regard to the whole constructing game elements thing, like the
automated turrets and such. Almost sounds like the old Weapons Factory mod for
Q3, in fact...

I did notice in the game browser that there appear to be a lot of very active
servers in Toronto though, any one in particular you can recommend? If this is
going to be a game at the tourney, and I may just attend, then I should get
some practice time in ;)
