This thread has devolved into a giant mess. I will now take a few minutes to point out the mistakes in BoobzTwo's analysis of Michael Moore's "documentary". However, I am not getting involved in the hornet's nest of a debate on the universe. And now back to your regularly scheduled programming. Michael Moore makes so many mistakes and/or inaccurate interpretations of the facts, at least fifty-nine of them, that it should in no way, shape, or form be taken as factua

Well, I haven't played those mods, but I still should have known better. I started paying a lot of attention when I realized the New Class Modernization Program and Nebula -class Star Destroyers were discarded like trash by those "people" at Del-Rey; when the galaxy was facing the greatest threat its ever known in the longest series of Star Wars books ever written, they are only implied by the source books to be involved! I guess they can be taken as Republic propa

Yeah, I made a mistake, it is definitely an Ancient warship, not a Tau'ri ship, wasn't paying attention to the blatantly obvious characteristics. The Federation -class supposedly looks like a Constitution -class with a third nacelle coming of the top and back of the engineering section.

I never heard of the Phalanx -class either, that's why I kept saying she was a Galaxy -class, because that is what she looks like to me. I would much rather people add the new STO ships, or ones like the ambiguously canonical Federation -class Dreadnought instead of non-canon ships like this, because their are a lot of ships that do exist that aren't accepted as canon, unlike in Star Wars where almost everything is canon, including books.

The Zerg are in a really bad place, the switch made to their tech tree by putting Hydralisks at tier 2, and trying to replace their tech location with a combination of Roaches and Banelings at tier 1.5 just doesn't work. Which makes the Zerg rely exclusively on Queens to do the Hydralisk's job until you can get to them, and doomed the Lurker at tier 3. I don't know how they can continue to say Roaches and Banelings overlap in role with the Lurker, when there is a fundamental diffe

I am so very tired of answering the same questions over and over again just because people can't find the old threads on that topic that already have the answers they are looking for.

Reply to OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD!!!! in Everything Else Sins Forums

The bin Laden family may be friendly to the Bush family, but Osama bin Laden was so far removed from the family, that to say Osama himself was in any way in collusion with the Bushes is just absurd. Indeed, the media is so pro-liberal that it is down right ridiculous, at least conservative media lets both sides speak, not that I believe everything anyone says without some proof. Thank you, Stant123, just one more reason for me to hate Al Gore.

Indeed, blobness, Homeworld is also my most favorite RTS. It has never really been matched in the twelve years since it first came out.

Indeed, I was once in a skirmish at Random - Small as the Vasari verse a Normal TEC AI a few weeks ago, and I did something I had never done before in my short time in the Areolian Sector, deploy the awesome power of an offensive Orkulus Starbase. The starbase secured the system and lasted against several waves of fleets, including numerous Ogrov Torpedo Cruisers, before being destroyed; had I came to its aid faster it would have survived. The AI, like many AIs before it, can't handle for

That happens in most RTS games, TorinReborn, everyone just develops a series of strategies that work, and use whatever one will work for the situation, then often do absolutely complete and totally nothing else. The development of such strategies often involves a renaissance like Boxer for Terrans in StarCraft/Brood War, but change is generally slow, very slow.

I recently got the demos for Dawn of War and its expansions, but am only keeping the original installed because it is as close to a full version as I am going to get without the full version, and I am impressed. Looks like Relic knows what they are doing, first with the original Homeworld and now Dawn of War, so when I get a good opportunity to get Dawn of War on sale, I will definitely not let such an opportunity go to waste.

Well, she is jumping to warp which is probably why she looks elongated, because I know for a fact the nacelles are too round among numerous other characteristics for her to be a Sovereign -class. Please go here and here to see what I talking about.

This replay was definitely interesting, not what I am used to seeing in my own games. I think Greyfox probably should have just built his way toward the rest of Team Elf to make OurTerra pay dearly for his assault in a long drawn out retreat. Pink Fagolas should have crushed Tyr with overwhelming numbers much faster instead of lingering. Tyr so pulled a Vasari!

It is 2 GB of RAM, I guarantee it, but hopefully the engine optimization and TSOP stuff that made it into Diplomacy 1.2 will be backported to Entrenchment and vanilla.

Unfortunately, I don't have SC2 because it would be a waste of money until I get a computer that can handle it, but I do have SC and play it a lot in skirmish verse AI since human players on battle.net in both US West and East seem to rarely play the official maps. I don't build so many barracks, factories, starports, and the equivalent production facilities for the other factions, and do pretty well against the AI. I never did understand the necessity

Saddam Hussein did have WMDs before the invasion, he used them on both the people of Iraq and Iran back in the 1980s when the US government made so many foreign policy blunders. Tell me their isn't something wrong with the current bin Laden death business when they can't even get their facts straight.

Reply to Fahrenheit 9/11 in Politics Sins Forums

The entire "documentary" has no merit, and all of the facts it did use were taken so far out of context, combined with Michael Moore's presentation style, make the "documentary" little more than a fallacy. The "documentary" cannot refute anything, because it doesn't possess any factual information whatsoever.

The WMD lie wasn't much of a lie, ever heard of a little something called mustard gas? Saddam Hussein had the Iraqi and Iranian people mustard gassed back when the US supported Saddam Hussein in the 1980s (which is one of the major reasons why Iran hates our guts with a passion), so it isn't like there was never that kind of stuff in Iraq, and it also wasn't like he didn't want other similar weapons. We backed the monster because we thought he was the lesser of two evils, and

Michael Moore does little more than either, get the facts completely wrong, or misuse and/or twist the facts he does have, which is a very bad combination. What overload of US government lies are you talking about? Sure they are by no means perfect, but come on, what does Michael Moore is far worse, because he edits the facts to fit his view point, which gives it virtually no merit in any kind of serious intellectual discussion.
