How you can string sentences together without having the slightest bit of reading comprehension is beyond me.
SupCom was made by GasPoweredGames, Chris Taylor's company he made after leaving Humongous Entertainment, and subsequently failed to get the rights to the Total Annihilation franchise back from Paradox or Infogrames or whoever the fuck bought them and just sat on them. GPG was only kinda known from making Dungeon Siege years ago.
C&C sucked, I never said anything about size of the company or who made it, it just fucking sucked.
TA was the only one that I said was ridiculously old. And hell, even with it's age, it still has a strong following as can be seen by the TA:Spring project, the various mods, TC's, unit/mapmakers, etc, and the fact that Nexus is still trying his damndest to get the rights to the TA name or startup a true TA2 project that won't die like all the previous ones did, including one I was a member of.

Nothing to do with C&C sucking balls for most anything besides story/campaign, and TA being 10 or more years old, or SupCom coming from a fairly little known company unlike WC3 which is fairly new and from a company known for it's powerhouse advertising of it's games.
Oh shit, 50 units instead of 30, like zomg and stuff, it isn't like Total Annihilation was doing this in full 3d in 97/98 or anything. Oh wait, it wasn't, it was able to handle 100+ on screen easily, theoretically TA could handle hundreds/thousands on screen, but pathfinding AI for units was hardcoded into the executeable or some shit, so pathfinding breaks down when >200 units are moving at once. Truly epic to watch 150 bombers or fighters swarm on a base.
No libertarian would ever suggest anything being a government job beyond preserving individual freedoms and rights, beyond that govenment has no place.
I didn't know the routes and switches they own and maintain were public property, I was under the crazy impression they bought and upgraded their equipment for doing that sort of thing out of their own pockets. Silly me!
Their property, they can use it as they see fit.
On that note also, the current Net Neutrality bill is nothing about net neutrality, it's about giving the FCC the power to censor and regulate the internet, which is the dumbest fucking idea ever.
More like I and many other real pvp'ers prefer fast fluid and dynamic PVP such as was in Asheron's Call where player skill was one of the most important factors in a fight, not class/level/items. I could be in basic storebought gear and on a level 120 mage and take down a level 200+ mage in a fight if I was better than him. Level/class/item based pvp always removes player skill from the equation because their pvp is based on spreadsheets and nothing else. Skill based advancement such as UO's or AC's hybrid level/skill system (you gain experience and level up but you spend xp points to raise skills and attributes)
Darkfall is a game that will follow in the footsteps of UO and AC and bring player freedom and skillbased pvp back to the masses.
There's nothing left really that people play in any sizeable population cause WOW sucked in so many. The only people who like WOW's PVP are those who enjoy grindfests and lack of player skill in their battle, true PVPers abhorr WOW's PVP system entirely.
"- The PvP system was ruined... by players. Instead of a fair playing field where everyone has an equal chance, it turned into a predator/prey system where crafters gathered resources and fighters took it away. I despise PvP, but WoW is so well balanced and has such few penalties I'm considering participating. If it's attractive to a pacifist like myself, I imagine it's remarkable to those that enjoy PvP. If someone kills another player for gear, they're playing and killing for the wrong reason, IMO."
WoW's PVP is fucking horrid to anyone who enjoys a skillful fight. There is almost no player skill involved and it is entirely based on items/level/class and knowing which skilldumps to use on each class. That is not fun PVP, especially when combined with a lack of looting/penalties.
In an open pvp game which isn't about holding your hand through the entire game you'd be able to kill people like this. Safe zones and consensual pvp are what breeds griefers, not the other way around.
The only difficulty worth playing on is Legendary, and if one player dies you gotta restart from the last checkpoint, and most checkpoints only occur when an area has been cleared of enemies entirely.
Too bad tiles don't kill people. They used recycled concrete for a critical structure like a tunnel. That is so wrong on so many levels that it is mind boggling the contractor who did the concrete work was able to get away with it.
The 2nd amendment has NOTHING to do with self defense from one's fellow man and everything to do with protecting yourself AND your fellow man from a government which becomes tyrannical. Back when it was written most of the military force in the nation was under the control of private citizens. Hell, many wealthy americans had their own naval fleets which they used to fight the british.
Please stop with your pathetic OMG GUN ARE THE DEVIL!!1!!1!!oneone! shit, it's pathetic and truly sad to see people who should be intelligent individuals pulling such an unfounded and baseless card.
You mean the one who tried to start a riot after assaulting a librarian, trespassing, refusing to comply with staff, etc? He most certainly got what he deserved in that situation by placing at risk the security staff who were surrounded and outnumbered by students who he was trying to incite a riot amongst.
Lower standard of care, long waiting lines, etc.
The only problem with the american system is the cost and this stems entirely from malpractice insurance being a necessity.
Taking my tax dollars and using them to give handouts to people is wrong and is called stealing, my money being taken at the point of a gun for something I completely disagree with. It's so easy to get health care currently but people think they should get full coverage working a part time teenager's job like being a cashier or flipping burgers. Join a construction union and you make 3+x as much easily AND get insurance!
Sure not EVERYONE can do that, but a large number of the 'working poor' can.
The status quo isn't acceptable either, something needs to be done about medical malpractice lawsuits because THEY are the reason prices are so high, because the doctor's need to have malpractice insurance for everything.
Too bad if you are working in Wal Mart or McDonald's you are doing a teenager's/senior's job, who the fuck expects to seriously deserve a living wage from places like that?
The US has over 300 million citizens, which is a shitload more than any country in Europe, or anyplace else with universal health care.
For the record, I'm a libertarian and am 100% against handouts and turning this country into a welfare state.
More ethanol can be obtained from it than from corn and it is also a weed, so it can grow ANYWHERE. It produced 5-10x as much pulp as regular trees do so the paper industry could profit from them, and hemp ropes are what make the shipping industry possible, or atleast did back years ago.
The tubes belong to the companies, they can do with them as they please as far as I'm concerned. If I don't like the service, I can switch to another provider.
The UCLA incident was fully justified. If you refuse to comply with an officer and attempt to START A RIOT which endangers officers, I would expect you to get tazered if not simply punched in the face till you're unconscious. Doing something that fucking stupid deserves a swift and harsh end with force as compliance without force obviously will not happen.

Don't worry, Starcraft 2 is basically Starcraft in the WC3 engine with some bright colors added.
No one forced them to take those jobs, why does the government need to once more be involved in the affairs of private citizens?

The government keeps the market dominated by the largest players and regulates the market so that startups have a harder time.
Too bad tiles don't kill people. They used recycled concrete for a critical structure like a tunnel. That is so wrong on so many levels that it is mind boggling the contractor who did the concrete work was able to get away with it.
The government cripples competition through regulation that makes it impossible for startups to get anywhere in certain fields.
