[jello24]

after reading through the homework they get, it will make a heck of a lot of players stop playing. it just wont make the game fun anymore.

"What are significant damage combos?"

i dont really care what other "damage combos" the other guy has when my siege tanks are upgraded to 3+3...

[Synaptik]

they've got to have -some- way to legitimize the course. how do you think the prof sold this course to the uni?
