I agree. I didn't totally like the change from "near future" to "waaay in the future a la cyborgs/mechs/subterranean vehicles" in tiberian sun. However, I thought the overall atmosphere was pretty cool. The tiberian minerals were taking over the planet with their rapid growth (almost reminded me of the red weed from war of the worlds). It was poisoning entire populations of people, and transforming others into superhumans.
I loved Red Alert, and was totally disappointed when RA2 was corny and cartoony. I hope they don't screw the new one up....
Remember the Ion Storm ad proclaiming that John Romero was going to make everyone his bitch? That had little to do with any game that was being made (Daikatana at the time). Fact is, shock advertising works... period.
When has this guild introduced sexual content into the game? They created the guild so that GLBT people can play the game together without hearing language they deem offensive. It would be exactly the same if someone created a Christian guild so they could play with others without hearing things like "Oh my f-ing God, you killed me" using the Lord's name in vain type of language.
I don't think this guild is going around in the public areas having virtual gay sex with each other. Your comments just show your ignorance, inability to accept others who are different from you, and your general lack of maturity.
(assuming your from the US) The total lack of tolerance that is taking over the US sickens me.
Wow, just wow. Ridiculous. I mean, I guess Bethesda has a right to charge for add-ons and what not, but I can see where this is going. Release a game, and take out some key features that a lot of people would want, and should be in the game in the first place (ie horse armor). Then charge per download. Genius.
I seem to remember all of the morrowind official mods being free.
I wouldn't spend money on this stuff. These official mods will probably be included in the first expansion pack anyway.
The first baldur's gate (not so much with the sequel) was pretty open ended. You could get through the main quest without visiting all of the areas, but you were rewarded with loot if you explored. Each area also had at least one dungeon/quest/thing of interest that you had to search for aside from the main quest.
And comments like this are what is wrong with our country. Corporations and their shareholders would not be making any money at all if not for their employees. Human resourcess should be a company's most important resource. Health care for employees means that the company cares about the welfare of their employees.
Also, I hear that productivity goes waaaay down when employees are sick;)
Mom and pop stores don't suck, they just have to sell at prices higher than walmart. They don't have 3000 stores or the push-around power that walmart has due to its market share.
What I do get at the ma and pa store is a friendly face and great service. They usually are very knowledgable about the product they sell, and many times are willing to go the extra length if I have any problems at all with my purchase.
The last time I went into a walmart (with a friend, I never buy there and avoid it like the plague), the place was dirty, shelves were disorganized, and no one was willing to help other than to point down an isle. Price isn't always more important, although I believe that through advertising the american public is being brainwashed into thinking it is.
Beside, on many items, the reduced price at walmart isn't all that much lower than at other retailers. And as previous posts and TFA points out, a lot of it is brand-named junk anyway.
I live in the US, and I have been bringing my own snacks to movie theaters for years. Obvious things too, like microwave popcorn in a plastic zip lock. No one has ever said anything to me about it. Maybe it depends on the theater.

Well said. I'm glad you didn't get modded as flaimbait as well. It seems like that happens around here when you don't agree with some mod's political point of view.
Are you implying that liberals cannot make effective national security policy? Where are the facts that say a more liberal (read progressive) government will ensure that bin laden remains free? It has been 5 years since 9/11, and our conservative government still has not been able to find the man. Yet, they have managed to piss off the rest of the arab world and create a much larger problem than before 9/11, all in the name of democracy.
I'm thinking the big time right wing conservatives are just a little too fast on the trigger.
Why isn't there a first amendment problem with the banning of video games? I can see this going straight to the supreme court by some large game publisher with lots of cash to spend on litigation. Missing an entire state's worth of revenue is not going to go over well with some of the larger game publishers.
Not to be "that guy" or anything, but if you RTFA, you would have noticed this in the second paragraph.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like the 420 GB is what is shared between all users for storage (roughly 1.3 GB per user if it was distributed evenly).

Wow, not to sound unoptimistic, but those GDI soldiers in the first link look very similar to the marines of StarCraft....
Where's the originality??

This is hilarious. Wish I had mod points.

Yeah, remember when they had McDonald's in Ultima 2??? Uh huh can't wait to order my Whopper from the new BK that just opened up in Imperial City ;)

Actually, they can and do.
