RTS is such a great genre. I know everyone loved StarCraft but I enjoyed Warcraft II and 3 more… along with C&C, Red Alert and Age of Empires. Not sure why.

RTS is such a great genre. I know everyone loved StarCraft but I enjoyed Warcraft II and 3 more… along with C&C, Red Alert and Age of Empires. Not sure why. Warcraft 3 was a great balance between micro and macro management due to the Hero concept. SC always just felt like a game of numbers… but I am sure I just wasn’t as experienced. Regardless I would love it if the genre stayed alive and I am glad Age is continually updated and stable.

  Right? And that soundtrack! I could listen to Hell March without the game. They actually released the full soundtrack as a CD.

  I live near Linkedin HQ, and judging by their MASSIVE number of sprawling headquarters buildings, quite a few people do pay to use it

  LinkedIn is probably the only one that don’t belong on that list.

  Who made/makes VSCode?
  - dagw 3y ago
    VSCode was an in house MS project
    - extraduder_ire 3y ago
      Wasn't the initial codebase github atom? So, about as in house as edge2 (the current one) is.
      - dagw 3y ago
        VSCode was released several years before the github acquisition, and is unrelated to atom.
