I too hate the cheats at Q3A, but in my circle of players, that's not really a problem. Most of the people I play with, I've been face to face with. We definitely should play once I get a decent connect back.
As for games that everyone might enjoy, I'm thinking something like Ghost Recon (Hi Tony!). I can see wolf enjoying that, I've been looking curiously at it for a while now, and I'm guessing the others could get into it. Tony knows more about it, so he should post.
Sports games, I'm really more into the console thing there, and I know we don't all have consoles, so... if someone had something decent there, I could go for it. I might have to buy a gamepad to hook up to the computer, but that's no big deal. I can't imagine playing soccer or basketball (the two types of sports I think translate really well to computer/console games) with just a keyboard.
'spode - here's a lame video I made in 10 minutes to show someone a few shots. It's me playing Q3 against a couple different opponents, and it should give you an idea of my skill level:
