Now, you're the one fucking telling us this, if you had so much of a "life", why the hell are you bothering with us, why aren't you out, getting drunk, instead of posting about how pathetic geeks are on a geek site...
heh, do you not realize who the hell john romero is? the only game god ever to get fired, he made:
Wolfenstien 3d (good)
Doom (good)
Doom 2 (good, and it had his head on a stick at the end)
Quake (good)
Quake 2(good, he might of left ID after quake 1)
Diakatana (crap.)
between him and john carmack there has been no one who has had as big an effect on the current game industry (with the except of warren spector and sid mierer). this was posted for the humor fact that he is broke as hell now, he used to buy such things like toys.
well, you see, to us gamers, CS means counterstrike first, not Computer-Science. I'm in CS, but I don't spend my every waking hour thinking about it, while I have done that with CounterStrike:)
just play with clans, makes life a helluva alot easier
of course, if these people are only taking these calsses because they are required to do so, they probably won't ever use what they would (normally) learn
it is, the community, with very little help from cavedog (the now-defunct developers of TA). We can make the game itself do back flips without the soruce, we can add units that lose parts, over heat, transform, can be upgraded (GKX), we can make entire new races, we can even use proper 3d terran software to make maps (bryce and terragen), we can do more than Chris Taylor (creator of total annihilation) ever dreamed.
but the engine is old, and it is starting to lose it's appeal even to the guys who have been playing since it was released (4 years ago), it's running out of supply at stores, it's hard to find, and most people don't remember it, very little new blood flowing into the community (which is about 1000 people). anyways, i've never seen a commerical RTS released under an open-source liscense, I think it'd be very interesting to see the results.

of course it is, how do you think the contracted companies price these things?
