I was just daydreaming today of a bedframe made entirely of Lincoln Logs...

I can do that.  I'll even break it down for you if you'd like.  Remember, though, that my digital camera was built in 1924 and is uber-ghetto style.  Will 2 megapixels be enough to grab a decent texture from?

Actually, I do have an old school shotgun from 1924.

Or 1943 anyway.  Close enough.

I'll take some pictures of that, too.

The golf balls were awesome!  I wonder how the heck they got so many of them in the car!

This game trailer is very cool. The game is called World in Conflict and asks the question: What if the Cold war never ended, but instead erupted into full fledged combat?

Im gonna say that those graphics are hot for a rts, and just plain hot in general.

Briney, that game looks pretty sweet.  I'm not sure about the lack of resource gathering, though.  Although it'd make logical sense to leave it out in a "real world" game, it seems like it'd kill a pretty significant staple of RTS gaming.

The "Direct Fire" thing could be cool, but it seems like it'd be rather hard to implement in any moderate or large scale battles.  While you were commanding one of your troops or vehicles, the rest of your army would be getting squashed on the other side of the map.

The premise for the game looks similar to another RTS I tried recently called "Hammer and Sickle," which was published by a relatively unknown indie shop.  The game looked awesome and the training missions were a lot of fun, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to get past the very first mission.  The game was impossibly difficult, even on the easiest setting.  Lame!
