MechCommander 2, perhaps? :lol: Yeah, that. My mind is at times about as trustworthy as a kleptomaniac in a bank vault. :P On topic, I agree, city maps would be epic awesome. The OTA city tileset contained quite a lot of different features (buildings, statues, fountains, benches, wrecked cars) when...

On an unrelated note, the central building in the front row of the bottom pic looks uncannily like a comms relay (or a power relay, perhaps) from Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds (though I'm not entirely sure, could also be OTA or an Earth 21*0 game, or something else).

Small step from RepRap to SkyNet.

Oh screw it. It's a pity he's dead, he'll be missed, et cetera. I hereby withdraw from this thread.

Yes, he was a very good singer and pretty much the most important figure in pop music. But how does that make his death more important than that of countless others?

Looks incredibly sleek from a distance, handles like a brick with Down syndrome and prone to catching fire and/or exploding at random moments for no immediately obvious reason (or any reason at...

Whoop de fucking doo, some American singer is dead. Incidentally, 500 people have died this hour alone from AIDS. But we all know what's more important, right?

#2 US did not give the Soviets half of Europe. It saved half of Europe from the Soviets. There are voices claiming the Allies, notably the Americans, could have rushed to Berlin before the Soviets did, and hence prevent the whole East Germany thing (what would instead have happened is up for debate...

Good point, if anyone would have ever bothered to learn from history.

No, you're not equal, as I pointed out. Overall I think the USA is guilty of lesser and fewer crimes. The USA has only been around for about two and a half centuries, the European nations generally go back at least twice that far or more. So of course the US has fewer blotches on its record - it wa...

Then I recommend checking certain other websites as well. They should be more appropriate to your tastes.

Now my point: during what years did enlightened Europeans either actively assist or refuse to interfere with the gassing of the Jews, and during which years did many countries of the now-EU turn away Jewish refugees from what remains history's most atrocious acts of government-sanctioned mass murde...
