    Well for starters you need frames, cookies and javascript switched on or they tell you to fuk off.

    Probably installs BO2K on your machine.

    I have all those switched on too, but my computers a mess neway. It happens when you have to share a computer with other people.

    Like, I went to Germany for less than a week. I come back and somebody's reverted to DirectX 6.0 (god only knows why) and the mouse is broken.

    First, freeloader.com do a personal survey finding out your likes and dislikes. Then, while you are downloading the game, special advertisements, tailored to what you said in the personal analysis, flash on-screen. You don't have to click on them if you don't want to but that is how Freeloader makes its money, from banner advertising.

    Other games available at the launch include Hidden & Dangerous and a rumoured downloadable version of Carmageddon. I think they go online May 1st.
