There are some seriously impressive open source games out there. One of my friend groups into gaming got me into BAR (Beyond All Reason) last year and it is seriously impressive in terms of depth, graphics, and optimisation. This part of the future I love.

BAR is pretty awesome indeed (make sure to check it out if you like games like Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander) and makes it really easy to mod the game via Lua. Seems to have a pretty large community for being a FOSS game too.

Also discovered BAR couple of weeks ago and even though I'm not really a gamer anymore, and was never really into rts games, I've already have > 50 in game hours

I was very impressed with the level of detail and meticulous implementation. The level of control and posible automation is high, I feel that it should reasonate with most tech oriented ppl

If anyone wants to play my in game username is [ZWD]_jaan, just add me as a friend and I can intro you to the basic concepts (im still a noob tho), we can play a coop game or find a noob lobby :)
