[quote]that is wrong. I don't understand why people keep making assumptions about a game before having played it.[/quote] Clearly, someone doesn't remember the original Supreme Commander... The MonkeyLord was a god, it did not simply die to a dozen T3 artillery like it does in Forged Alliance. The FA version is tissue paper by comparison, it would take three of them to kill an original.

I haven't seen any reports of Win10 causing problems with Sins, I would expect them to have shown up by now if it did. I've not used it yet though.

Actually, a lot of public companies are running stuff this old as well. I contract for a fortune 500 that still has loads of their major infrastructure running on Workstation/Server 2003.
If anyone that can't tell that their computer is sending streaming audio to the NSA by using VCS to spy on them, they deserve the invasion of privacy...
This is somewhat conspiratorial. Unless it was actually transmitting data, this is a case of "Google stealth updated their software with something annoying" and not some terrible attempt to spy on people. Clearly, it wasn't, because everyone would have noticed the drain on their bandwidth as they started sending a streaming audio dump to Google. It's somewhat hard to do talk to text without using a microphone. It wasn't a v

For 4k, wait. Too many things that don't like 4k, too much hardware needed to run it, monitors over 28 inches are extremely expensive, and the selection is crap. If you want a 2560x1440, 28 inches is a good size as long as you've got decent eyes, and good ones can be picked up for around $500. I've got a SyncMaster SA850, Samsung's PLS monitors are quite pretty, if you don't mind a somewhat slower refresh rate than you can get with the vi

Time your block against an incoming shot instead of just dropping it for cover, don't burn your mobility playing with cs against a skill shot caster, and don't ult the guy under his tower, after you already dropped your wall. Never played Yasuo, but when I spank them with Zyra, it's because they do such things. Another thing to avoid is going all in on something you can't kill. After you burn off your mobility and skill shot blocker, you'

A 600ti? I'm guessing that was supposed to be a 660 ti, in which case you might be okay in it's current state. It ran smooth as could be on my 680GTX. They said they'd be working on optimizing it to run better on lower ram quantities, and your processing capability is basically the same. If you didn't mean a 660 ti, then no, probably not. I'd wait to see if you get clarification though, the maps we have are ve
The experimentals may be broadly liked, but they're like super units in any other game. They take the existing balance between the rest of the fleet/army, and piss all over it. Did you build a carefully constructed army, heavily defended behind shield walls with three layers of regenerating defense, missile countermeasures, and range supremacy? No problem, we'll just walk this spider bot over and it will blow them all up as it sweeps that energy weapon across the fie

It's a 9km kill radius that does 100dps hull damage to all Jem'hadar frigates until the ships die, while doubling their firing rate. It only triggers while the buff is running, but it runs for 90 seconds, not the 30 the benefits run for.

Units don't appear to fire on radar pings that are in range. They also have extremely short view ranges, even when on a hill, or similarly advantaged. This results in all engagements being pretty close range, having longer ranged units doesn't seem to be of much help beyond being able to have more units shooting things at once. The rocket turrets are particularly objectionable, as you basically have to set them up well behind the front lines for them to benefit from

Just ran through a skirmish, won before I could get into the enemy base from captured computronium, and I'd pretty much only captured the stuff in a line to their base. Not sure on the other resources yet, but I can safely say that acquiring that stuff is a wee bit easy at present, perhaps it gains more quickly based on the relative number of captures and the AI just wasn't, but if it's a flat rate it's way too fast for a system to prevent stalemates.
Holy shit, now that's a necropost...

Right click is autocast. Autocast for toggles is buggery, they undo themselves when they match the conditions of the cloak. The other ships, having been set up to only cloak(they can't uncloak themselves, you have to use the decloaker ability) don't suffer from this, as for some reason the autocast will actually work one way when the ability is set to simply fire in any circumstance. Romulan capitals have their cloak set to autocast

No no no, it's because people weren't evolved enough to grasp the proper way to use a thermometer yet! Humans from the 1930's were like a completely different species, it was too difficult for them to comprehend the concept that a maximum temperature marker would need to be dropped down later if they were checking it near peak temperature.
We've been measuring our distance from the Sun long enough to know that one.

Fortunately, it was nerfed heavily, along with the previously epic ablative armor abilities, and Praetors Talon, which at one time could fully restore a near dead D'Deridex in the middle of a fleet battle.
Probably the popularity of that song as well. It's been used in a multitude of movies, odds are pretty good that most people above 20 have seen Rush Hour by now and would get it if only because they can't unsee Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker butchering the poor thing.

The Romulans were stronger. :) You could chain cast black vortex(it wasn't even an ultimate) with two D'Verix and keep a fleet perma disabled.
In the midst of all that horrible typing(seriously, proofread) you have some funny ideas. Wind energy is a money pit. Texas has a good deal going for wind. First, Texas is primarily using natural gas, due to their location, and has relatively high electricity costs compared to say Virginia, which is coal country central and pays far less. Second, they get billions in subsidies and tax credits for building wind farms instead of natural
Civ4 is probably pretty close to GC2, but I can't really say because I'm 4X stupid even if I like them. I just don't stay focused on managing the shit out of things, so I ended up losing most of my noble/challenging games in both.
[quote]If you claim that Nobel Prizes aren't a big deal in the science, you don't have any clue of what you are talking about. The Nobel Peace Prize is granted by a committee appointed by the Norweigan Parliament. It is reasonable to claim that it is fairly political. Things like the Nobel Prize in Physics are appointed by a completely different group - its an independent, non-governmental academy of scientists. And its a really really big deal for scientists
