Gametap has Deus Ex and Psychonauts for free, two excellent games. I would also recommend Freespace 2 SCP, which can also be downloaded for free. One of my favorite games of all time.
The show isn't even full of talented contestants at all. For the auditions they have the buzzing system where if the judges aren't interested they would get buzzed out. Imagine an extremely talented violinist playing a violin concerto and getting buzzed out because the judges think it's boring.
For the most part the GB community seems to be keeping itself under control. Granted there are a few hiccups here and there, (some little kid called DaWhiteAsian was spamming yesterday), there are mods who are active in helping. I just saw a couple of locked topics. The rules may be a lot looser than GS, but that doesn't mean it's out of control. (It is nice being able to say "class" and "style" uncensored).
Supcom takes quite a while to learn how to play. You have to work a lot on economy management. You have to constantly build lots of power generators and mass extractors/fabricators in order to support your engineers so you can build units and buildings faster. My advice is to watch some replays of other players to get an idea of how they play the game. Once you get the hang of it, a standard skirmish shouldn't take so long.
