Jeez, this is getting boring, Falcon. Mostly I manage to ignore your
posting-flood, but in the last time it just gets too obnoxious.

1) Origin's hype ? What are you talking about ? I've yet to see a single
   Origin executive, hyping Origin products on the net. True, there are
   many people out here in netland, who praise their products. But there
   are at least as many people out here (like you) who whine and whine and
   complain and whine and whine and leave out no opportunity to tell all
   those who aren't interested in your whining, how stupid/incompetent
   Origin is. I guess that's the reason why Origin is one of the biggest
   game software companies in the world.

   Dammit, can't you finally get it inside your head, that Origin has
   every right to code games for Crays alone if they wanted to ? If you
   don't have the appropriate machine for their games, either buy it,
   cope with the slower speed (I solved Strike Commander with full details
   on on a 386/40 aswell), or simply _don't buy the game_. Yes, complain
   on the net, if you like. But not 20 times.

2) Strike Commander a letdown ? Well, I most certainly _did_ like it alot.
   In fact it is one of the games I always love to return to. And nearly
   all people I talked to shared my view.

3) Privateer a letdown ? I will readily concede that it could have been
   even better in some parts, but all things considered the game and story
   has been excellent. No letdown either.

4) WC Armada a letdown ? It always amazed me that some people obviously
   just can't read the cover or (better) reliable game magazines. Armada
   has always and most openly been a multiplayer dogfight game. It has
   never been called WC2,5 or such. And it certainly is a good multiplayer
   dogfight game. I don't complain, that Doom is no good RPG either.

5) Pacific Strike a letdown ? Maybe, I haven't played it, but the reviews
   are bad. Let's assume you're right for this one, it's still just
   one out of four. Bad result, Falcon.
