Back in like 2005(?) when it came out it was also the first game that I ever saw supporting dual monitors. I had the overhead map on one screen and normal view on my main screen. That was pretty darn cool back in the day.

They Are Billions is really the only RTS I've played in ages, and it's technically not even an RTS to some degree.. it is and it isn't. But they really made a unique game so I've highly enjoyed it from time to time.

Still could never get into WoW after enjoying Everquest for so many years. Such an amazing game if you had the time to sink into it.

How any of you snakes on here can downvote this is beyond me. I mean, I know who you are. People who have a great job and don't really have to worry about insurance. Or maybe at a university where insurance is probably covered well.

Um why would there need to be 'media coverage' around technologies that everyone knows about and has basically been around forever? Media coverage dominates new technology [3d printing]... SHOCKER I TELL YOU!
