I read your post and then 1/2 an hour later watched this Ted Talk from Robert Ballard.
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/robert_ballard_on_exploring_the_oceans.html

His bio: On more than 120 deep-sea expeditions, Robert Ballard has made many major natural discoveries, such as the deep-sea vents. Oh, and he found the Titanic.

About 16 minutes in, he talks about how he won't let an adult drive his remote exploration craft... we don't have enough gaming experience. But he will let a teenager. He then follows with some inspiring words about the importance of teaching science to our students. Great talk!

MAX!!!

Don't shaft the Zelda series, man. Mario might have Nintendo gamers in his hand, but Link has us at the throat with his master sword.

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. Yesterday I discovered this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Ps3 Live Tournaments[/url]
They say you can play online FIFA Soccer game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
