Any game where I have to gather wood (Age of Empires, Galactic Battlegrounds, etc) I would always feel the intense need to clear cut the forests around my base using villagers, trebuchets, etc. Why I felt the need to see cleared land.... no idea. My subconscious timber tycoon, maybe?
Also in games where I have flight capability - sending whatever to every corner of the map so there's no fog of war - usually leaving one enemy unit to keep the game going...
Ok, I'll give you that - but HOW is it an expression? By simply choosing not to use the defacto computing platform? I guess I just don't understand the whole moral superiority complex that Mac Fanatics carry around with them.
Is it just because they're such a minority and feel the need to stick together? I've owned Macs and PCs and liked them both for different things, but I really didn't get any enlightenment from using either. So not sure where the mystical self-expression comes from....
When people talk about Apple allowing people to engage in self-expression and celebrate individuality, all I truly see is a Marketing Machine that did a HELL of a good job.
One poster already mentioned that until recently, the look of Macs has been completely homogeneous as best. The hardware architecture still is. So it's self-expression as long as you share the expression of Apple. Where is all this incredible individuality Macs emancipate us into?
Widgets don't an individual make....
I applaud the notion of "Think Different" and uniqueness... but it's similar to people raging against the machine and being defined by choosing to drink Starbucks.... way to stick it to the Establishment...
Seems to me there were at least two separate Voltrons (my local affiliate would never bother to order them or show any consistency whatsoever).
I wonder if this new one will adopt either one of the universes or strike out on it's own.... if Voltron somehow ends up fighting Iraqi Robeasts, though... I'm outta here.
