Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have to look in the Quake 3 source code to see where Id hid all those stolen CC numbers.  :shifty:

Modding is a gateway drug, people - first you're coding a rapid-fire explosive shotgun, next you're hacking into GCHQ.

Minor accomplices?  I suppose it depends on the age of the player.  They're stating that it's "young people" developing these criminal skills, after all.  That rules me right out.
