Yeah, that’s my view too… I got voted off as commander last night though for moving the Titan forward. Noobs.

Although is it worth getting the demo to work, or just bite the bullet and buy the game?
get this:
I’m not hugely impressed with the start of this series tbh. Series 1 was fantastic, series 2 started well and ended well but was a bit flat in the middle… hopefully this series will pick up but at the moment it’s not really doing a lot for me.
Hmm, I’d have gone for a conroe myself… the Athlon 64 X2s are good processors and will run anything you want with no trouble, but the intel conroes are better and cheaper.
I used to use Azureus but for some reason it maxed out my CPU whenever it was running…. poor Java implementation I think. I now use Bitcomet:
but only because it supports uPNP, which means you never have to worry about opening ports or anything as long as your router supports uPNP as well.
I also use http://www.torrentspy.com for my searching.

Quality post mate I want it even more now!
Do we know the release date for sure yet?
Later than it’s supposed to be but before it’s actual finished and debugged I would expect.

Insane never mentioned whether Bloodshape was male or female, his ‘if she looks like…’ comment was in response to Zigzags comment that ‘Insane doesn’t normally let anyone else use his vasoline’. ‘Anyone’ is gender neutral so Insanes response was meant to imply that anyone could use his vaseline, as long as they were a) female and b) fit.
Don’t they teach reading comprehension at school anymore?
Also, welcome Bloodshape ๐

It’ll have to go a long way to beat Supreme Commander in spunkability.
Still, the C&C series has been Exactly the same game recycled over and over again with updated graphics since red alert 2 so anything is possible ๐
fixed that for you ๐
I hate C&C with a passion. It’s the EA sports of RTS games, bung out the same game, with the same features but better graphics every couple of years and watch the punters lap it up. Meanwhile games which are showing some innovation in the genre (Total annihilation, Homeworld) sell about 3 copies. Pah. The annoying thing is C&C3 will probably outsell supreme commander by about 3 to 1.
Who cares about Snakes on a plane. I’m not on the plane, I’m in the plane. Those little buggers can sit on the wings and freeze to death all they want, doesn’t bother me ๐

The word shit has a long and well-documented history, far older than any large-scale organized sea-trade in northern Europe. Anglo-Saxon leechdom books use scittan in reference to cattle having diarrhea. A Latin text from 1118 refers to “Lues animalium, quรฦรโรโ รขโฌโขรฦรขโฌลกรโรยฆ Anglice Scitta vocatur, Latine autem fluxus interaneorum dici potest.”
The acronym theory of the origin of shit can’t explain the related words in other languages, such as German Scheiss, Dutch schijt, Old Norse skita, and Lithuanian sikti, which come from the same prehistoric root. As far as I know, there’s no corresponding acronym to “ship high in transit” in the merchant marine history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
So, the acronym theory for the origin of “shit” breaks down because:
* the word itself is a good 1,000 years older than the common use of acronyms;
* the original form of the word (Anglo-Saxon sc-, which regularly evolved into M.E. sh-) does not correspond to the supposed acronym;
* the verb is the original form, the noun derives from it; the acronym supposes the noun came first;
* no one has produced a single instance of this supposed acronym from any old mercantile record or ship’s manifest;
* in fact, no one has ever established that there was a custom of shipping manure;
* the word has cognates in many other languages, including ones outside Germanic, for which no acronym theory of origin makes sense;It doesn’t fit the facts, it requires a very elaborate supposition for which there is not the slightest evidence, and there is a much simpler, saner explanation for the word, the only drawback of which is that it doesn’t make a very good Internet joke.
Say it with me: “shit is not an acronym.” Repeat 100 times for every time you forwarded that e-mail. Now go forth and sin no more.
edit: Also the Posh=”Port out, starboard home” thing is a lie too, before you start ๐
Should say ‘ if you’re hard enough’ as in ‘if you are hard enough’ rather than ‘if your hard enough’ which would mean something like ‘if the hard enough, which belongs to you’ which just doesn’t make sense.
