I'm guessing you've never been in Detention, or even worse, a school that has OCR (On Campus Reassignment)
Basically when you 'earn' an OCR you're put into a solitary room, told to sit and do nothing, for an entire school day. While the school make money (well at least in Arizona) from you merely attending school, but you, the student, are denied the ability to go to class and get your education. Furthermore when you come back the next day you are forced by the teacher to make up what you missed for the day without fail or your grade shall suffer.
When I was in high school I was placed blame for a bomb threat as well. Although this was merely because a teacher misheard a conversation a friend and I were having about a video game. Jokingly the other students said "Look out ! he's gonna bomb the school!" Followed by laughter. The teacher in response also laughed and said "Looks like I have to call this one in. It's the rules." All of this taking place merely from being misunderstood. A 'WEEK' Later I found out the teacher seriously called this incident in and my friend and I are being escorted to the VP's office. ** Before even talking to us they have us fill out a 'form' giving your statement of what happened in the incident and they force you to sign it (Not by force of hand but by threat of more detention/OCR). Our case was reviewed and our supposed threats taken seriously we were lead into a small office with the police and read our rights even BEFORE our parents showed up. Luckily my mother was one who didn't stand lightly and showed up to save me by having to force her way to where I was and proceeded to yell at the police officers / VP.
Many months down the road again I end up in the principals office for "Not eating lunch where you're supposed to" (another fun story). So I bring up that school isn't like a democracy at all. We're forced to self incriminate even if we didn't do anything. The VP responds with "You're right. This isn't a democracy. It's MY school."
You will see rich and beautiful people paid to drive them. And they will be young and active and will display all sorts of characteristics that an everyday person associates to success and desirability.
Actually every person I've seen driving a nice Sports Car or Super Car has been gray, balding, old, or generally unattractive...
Play a game where its nearly useless to have cheats. Natural selection for example, aliens have cloaking, Marines have motion tracking/scan sweep, it basically balances out. Well its like built-in hacks mostly
So instead of players shouting "LAG!" or "Disconnected?!?!" They're shouting misc stuff "Me so horned, he hurt you long time"
I see this as just warhammer with different styles of units. For people wanting starcraft... Warhammer 40k.. A lot of dice, measurements, etc. It'd be fun though to see Huntress's just appear out of nowhere from my ancient of war. I'd buy it, if it came pre-painted.

Really! I didn't -mean- to buy Blow-Up Betty and a years subscription to Back-Door Babes. They tricked me into it!
