Rosie is pretty much a non-issue as far as reasoned debate is concerned. She is basically the personification of the soccer mom constituency- uninformed, angry, and hostile to common sense and personal freedom for the sake of "the children."
World War One was absoloutey not a pointless war. It basically broke the back of every single imperialist nation, with the exception of Japan, and remade the world along political lines- national socialism and later communism versus capitalism. The slaughter in the trenches was horiffic, but...
Armed Assault is more realistic than this video. And awesome too.
But yeah. When I first saw this I thought it was more of a demonstration of where the Army would like to be in ten years, not an advertisement.
Also, it's hilariously masturbatorial. "We're not chasing insurgents anymore...
I love it. Simple and fiendishly fun. It's also kind of funny that they beat Portal to release by a few months, and they probably only started development when Portal was first announced, if not later.

Almost all lag problems aren't caused by code, but by poor servers in the first few days of a mod's existence. Empires had it, Goldeneye: Source had it, along with nearly every other mod I can think of. Already the lag issues I experienced in Eternal Silence and Iron Grip are easing up, and I...
They're all generic and pretty formless- they don't say anything or capture attention particularly well. I'd have just let the writers come up with their own introductions, though I do think that sometimes a mandated introducation or theme can be a good idea. It just didn't work out in this...
My... my... I think my head just exploded trying to imagine what they'd sound like.
I think I can top that, though. I'd try to sound like Cameo and Linkin Park.
grooooooving in my skin
this booty it will not shaaaake
I didn't say you were a PR shill, I just said that I can see how people easily jump to that conclusion given you're intimate involvement with Nuclear Dawn and your admittedly bellicose mood in this thread. What I think is irrelevant here.
How I weep for you Ennui.
the last shot is pretty cool even though iirc the sun never shines in russia
But those starter passages for the fan fiction contest are lame beyond belief.
