Command & Conquer (abbreviated as C&C or CnC) is a real-time strategy video game franchise, first developed by Westwood Studios. The first game was one of the earliest of the RTS genre, itself based on Westwood Studios' landmark strategy game Dune 2 and introducing trademarks followed in the rest of the series. This includes full motion video cutscenes with a notable ensemble cast to progress the story, as opposed to digitally in-game rendered cutscenes. Westwood Studios was taken over by Electronic Arts in 1998 and eventually closed down in 2003. The studio and some of its members were absorbed into EA Los Angeles, which continued development on the series.
History of the Series[edit]
The first installment, Command & Conquer, was released worldwide by Westwood on August 31, 1995[citation needed]. The plot is set sometime in the near future where the Earth becomes infected by a mysterious resource known only as Tiberium. A global war ensues between the UN-formed Global Defense Initiative to contain it and the cult quasi-state revolutionary Brotherhood of Nod, led by the enigmatic Kane, which seeks to harness it. Highly successful, it was followed by Command & Conquer: Red Alert in 1996 which is set in an alternate universe where the Soviet Union wages war with the Allied West. Developed as the prequel to the original, the Red Alert series was spun off into a separate, lighthearted and comic series, while the original game and its sequels became known as the "Tiberium" series, retaining its sci-fi and serious tone. The first game is sometimes referred to as Tiberian Dawn as a result.
The original game was followed by Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun in 1999 and its expansion pack. In 2002, a first person-shooter set in the Tiberium universe, Command & Conquer: Renegade, was released and praised for its online features. The highly anticipated Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars was released in 2007 and followed by the expansion pack Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath. Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight, released in 2010 as the conclusion to the Tiberium saga, received noticeably more mixed reviews because of its deviation from traditional gameplay. The Red Alert series was continued by the 2000 title Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, its expansion, Yuri's Revenge and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 in 2008, which introduced a third "Empire of the Rising Sun" faction. A spin-off game in 2003, Command & Conquer: Generals, set in a more realistic near-future and featuring the United States, China and the Global Liberation Army was followed by an expansion pack, Zero Hour.
The series was originally marketed to an Anglophone audience, though many of the games have been translated into other languages including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Korean, and Chinese. The series is primarily developed for personal computers running Microsoft Windows, although some titles have been ported to various video game consoles and the Apple Macintosh. Other games for platforms such as iOS and web-based have also been developed. As of July 2010, the Command & Conquer franchise consists of eleven games and eight expansion packs. The first three games of the series have been released as Freeware to promote the successors.[2] EA had confirmed that a new free-to-play game, entitled Command & Conquer, was in development with the studio Victory Games. It was set to be the next game in the series and was expected to be released in 2013. However, after a short alpha period the game was cancelled, and Victory Games disbanded by EA.[3][4] The Command & Conquer series has been a commercial success with over 30 million Command & Conquer games sold as of 2009.
The Command & Conquer games belong to the real-time strategy genre, with the exception of the first person shooter Command & Conquer: Renegade. A staple of the series is the parallel campaigns of various different factions to one central storyline. Games in the series also offered multiplayer game options, via LAN and modem connection. All games in the series have also offered online play, as well as "skirmish" matches in which players can face AI enemies.
All Command & Conquer real-time strategy games except Command & Conquer: Generals and its expansions have featured the "side bar" for navigation and control as opposed to many other similar games where the control bar is located on the bottom of the screen.
Command & Conquer gameplay typically requires the player to construct a base and acquire resources, in order to fund the ongoing production of various types of forces with which to assault and conquer the opponent's base. All available structures of the faction chosen by the player are constructed on-site at so-called "construction yard" - which typically begin as large-sized vehicles capable of deploying themselves into the aforementioned construction yards, called MCVs or Mobile Construction Vehicle. When a construction yard has finished building a new structure, the player can select a spot near to a preexisting structure in order to place it, where the prefabricated building will then rapidly unfold in a distinctive manner.
In all games in the series except Command & Conquer: Generals and its expansion, Zero Hour, funds are acquired by specialized "harvester" units which bring their cargo (Tiberium for the Tiberian series of games or ore or the more valuable gems for the Red Alert series) to a "refinery" structure. This in turn will convert the raw material into usable resources, expressed as credits. The raw materials themselves, in games released before Red Alert 2 as well as Command & Conquer 3 require storage space in the form of refineries and, in the case of excess, "storage silo" structures. In Generals and Zero Hour, funds are collected by two methods: collection of supplies by specialized units and converted to money in "supply centers" or directly produced by specialized units, buildings, or tech buildings at a set interval of time.
All factions have structures and units with similar functions at their disposal. However, they are adjusted to fit each faction's theme and have somewhat varying properties. Units can be classified into infantry, vehicles, and aircraft, each with their own subdivisions (note: in the Red Alert series there is also naval craft available). Unit effectiveness against opponents follows the rock-paper-scissors (intransitivity) principle found in most real-time strategy games.
Virtually every type of structure in the series acts as a tech tree node, and additional units, structures and faction-specific abilities will become available as new structures are built and placed. Access to advanced units and abilities may be temporarily blocked if the required structures are destroyed or if they are not being provided with adequate power by the supporting "power plant" structures.
Each Command & Conquer game has included the ability to play multiplayer games against other humans. Each box of Command & Conquer contains two CD copies of the game, immediately making multiplayer gaming possible with a single purchase of the game. Westwood Studios advertised this on the packaging with the slogan "A second copy, so you and your friend can destroy each other." This resulted in Command & Conquer becoming the first RTS game title to feature competitive online play,[5] and this is considered the most pertinent outside factor in the success of Command & Conquer.[6] All games in the series up to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 also featured two CDs that could be used for this reason. However, later games did not.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 was noted for being the first RTS game to enable the campaigns to be played cooperatively online; others had only supported single player campaigns. However, it was only possible to connect to other computers through EA's servers and not with LAN play.
Games produced by Westwood use the proprietary Westwood Online system to facilitate multiplayer games over the Internet; Renegade also supported Gamespy. Games under EA's development continued to use Gamespy, but dropped support for Westwood Online in favor of using EA's own servers. The Gamespy master servers have shut down in 2013.[7] The community filled the gap with their services.[8]
Tiberium series[edit]
Command & Conquer, released on August 31, 1995, was the first game in the series and is widely considered as the title which originally defined and popularized the real-time strategy genre.[5][6][9][10][11][12] Command & Conquer introduced the warring factions of the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod. Command & Conquer was well received and was widely praised by critics: "Command & Conquer is one of the finest, most brilliantly-designed computer games I have ever seen" said GameSpot reviewer Chris Hudak.[13] Command & Conquer has attained 94% as an aggregate score from Metacritic[14] with the less well received Covert Operations expansion pack obtaining an aggregate score of 72% after its 1996 release.[15]
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, released on August 27, 1999, takes place approximately 30 years after the events in its predecessor. While the original Command & Conquer's plot was centered around an allegorical world politics setting, Tiberian Sun shifted this to a more sci-fi-like setting against the apocalyptic background of Tiberium beginning to assimilate vast portions of the Earth's ecosystems. In 1998, Westwood Studios, the developers of Tiberian Sun, was acquired by Electronic Arts. However, EA had no direct part in the development of the title. Compared to its predecessor, Tiberian Sun relies heavily on science fiction technologies and introduces a new isometric game engine featuring varying level terrain to give the impression of a true 3D environment.
The full motion video is also scripted differently; while the cutscenes of Command & Conquer and Red Alert were filmed from a first-person perspective, Tiberian Sun used traditional cinematic shots for its FMVs featuring well known Hollywood actors such as James Earl Jones of the original Star Wars trilogy and Michael Biehn of Terminator and Aliens.
Tiberian Sun was not as well received as Command & Conquer with an aggregate score of 80% and 73% for the title and its expansion pack, Firestorm, respectively. However the solid storyline, new concepts, more realistic graphics, atmospheric soundtrack and traditional gameplay were praised by critics, making up for its weaknesses.
Command & Conquer: Renegade, released February 26, 2002, takes place in the final days of the events of Command & Conquer and was the last Command & Conquer game to be created by Westwood Studios before their liquidation in 2003. Unlike any other games in the series, Renegade is a first person shooter[16] giving players their only chance to see the Command & Conquer universe from a first person perspective. Although receiving average reviews, with an aggregate score of 75% on both GameRankings and Metacritic, Renegade was praised for its online features: GameSpy awarded Renegade its 2002 "Wish it had been better" award, condemning the single player but saying that "C&C: Renegade's multiplayer was innovative and fun".[17] Online play was praised for encouraging teamwork and coordinated assaults, unlike other contemporary first-person shooters.[18]
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, released March 29, 2007, was a return to the real-time strategy roots of the Command & Conquer series. As a direct sequel to Tiberian Sun, Tiberium Wars is set approximately 17 years after the events of Tiberian Sun and features the introduction of a third faction, the Scrin. The sequel was highly anticipated by fans and critics alike and attained an aggregate score of 85% from both GameRankings and Metacritic. PC Gamer U.S. gave the game its "Editor's Choice" rating at 90%, stating that "One of the greatest RTS franchises of all time returns to glory", while PC Gamer UK gave it a more reserved rating of 82%, stating that it was "A welcome, but limited, return."
Shortly after the release of Tiberium Wars, the expansion pack Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath was announced. Released on March 24, 2008, Kane's Wrath limited the player to only the Brotherhood of Nod in the campaign mode, though the original factions and six new sub-factions are available for the new strategic mode and skirmish mode. Reception was mainly positive with the expansion attaining an aggregate score of 77%.
Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight, released on March 16, 2010, sees a big change in gameplay from the previous Command & Conquer by removing the resource gathering and base building elements in previous games as well as the removal of the third faction, the Scrin. It is a direct sequel to Kane's Wrath (however not directly following on from its storyline), and is set 10 years after the game's final events, a time when Tiberium has advanced to its next evolutionary stage, and is rapidly spreading across Earth making it soon to be uninhabitable. The game came in for severe criticism from series fans for being so different from its predecessors.
Red Alert series[edit]
Command & Conquer: Red Alert, released on October 31, 1996, is set in an alternate universe 1950s and was originally made to be the prequel to Command & Conquer[19] establishing Red Alert as the prologue of the entire Tiberium series of games. Since then Louis Castle has said that connecting Red Alert with the Tiberium series was a "failed experiment". Red Alert introduces the Allies and the Soviets as rival factions roughly analogous to NATO and the Warsaw Pact of the Cold War. The game was received well by critics and has the highest average score of any Command & Conquer game with an average of over 90% from GameRankings and Metacritic, unlike the title's two expansion packs, Red Alert: Counterstrike and Red Alert: The Aftermath of which both received below average reviews for the series with 63% and 70% average scores respectively. Before being re-released as freeware on 31 August 2008 by Electronic Arts Command & Conquer: Red Alert had sold over three million copies.[20]
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 was released on October 23, 2000. It featured a Soviet invasion of North America with tanks, conscripts, gargantuan airships, and psychically dominated anti-ship giant squid. Since that game lacked reference to the Tiberian series, the connection established in the first Red Alert game became unclear. Opinion on whether or not the time travel events of the series were forming a separate continuity or just another side adventure on the way to the Tiberium era was divided. However, it has been implied by the original creators of the series, now working at Petroglyph Games, that Red Alert 2 takes place in a parallel universe that came about as a result of time travel experiments taking place some time into the Tiberian series.[21] Red Alert 2 was again received fairly positively with an aggregate score of 86% from GameRankings.
An expansion pack to Red Alert 2, Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge was released on October 10, 2001. In Yuri's Revenge, an ex-Soviet figure named Yuri, tries to conquer the world using psychic technology and his own private army. The expansion pack received mostly positive reviews. GameRankings reports an average score of 85% based on 31 reviews,[22] making Yuri's Revenge the best received expansion pack in the entire Command & Conquer series.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, released on October 28, 2008, followed up on the story of Red Alert 2 and continued the series' more "light-hearted" take on Command & Conquer. Red Alert 3 escalated matters further by introducing many new comical units and the very well received Empire of the Rising Sun faction, an anime inspired version of the Empire of Japan. Executive producer Chris Corry stated in a pre-release interview that Red Alert 3 will further differentiate the playable factions from each other and "[play] up the silliness in their faction design whenever possible."[23] This approach was seen as popular with Red Alert 3 obtaining an aggregate score of 82% from Metacritic. A stand-alone expansion to Red Alert 3, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 – Uprising was released on March 12, 2009 to fairly poor reviews for the series with an average score of 64% from Metacritic. Another downloadable standalone game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 was released known as Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Commander's Challenge which contained the Commander's Challenge mode of Uprising for consoles.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert (iOS) was released on October 16, 2009 for iOS which was a continuation of the story of Red Alert 2 and takes place before Red Alert 3. It contained two factions the Allies and Soviet Union with a third faction, the Empire of the Rising Sun, to be added in its expansion pack.
Generals series[edit]
Command & Conquer: Generals, released on February 10, 2003, had a plotline which was completely unrelated to the other games of the Command & Conquer series. Generals is set in the near future and features the United States, China and the fictional terrorist organization, the Global Liberation Army. Generals uses an engine dubbed "SAGE" (or Strategy Action Game Engine) and is the first fully three-dimensional Command & Conquer real-time strategy game. After its release, Generals received mostly positive reviews. Based on 34 reviews, Metacritic gives it a score of 84/100[24] which includes a score of 9.3/10 from IGN.[25] Generals has also received the E3 2002 Game Critics Awards Best Strategy Game award.[26] One review noted that Generals was the first ever Command & Conquer real-time strategy game that did not include full-motion video cutscenes to tell the story and that it departed from the unique interface and base-building mechanics that had characterized all of the previous C&C RTS titles.[27]
An expansion for Generals, Command & Conquer: Generals – Zero Hour, was released on September 22, 2003 to further the Generals storyline. Zero Hour added 9 new armies to the game, over a dozen new campaign missions, and a gameplay mode known as Generals Challenge.[28] Unlike Generals, Zero Hour featured the return of full motion videos to the series. Zero Hour obtained much the same reception as Generals with an aggregate score of 85% and 84% from GameRankings and Metacritic respectively.
After EA Los Angeles started up their new internal group Danger Close and switched its focus to the Medal of Honor series, EA launched a new studio named Victory Games to continue the Command & Conquer franchise.[29] On December 10, 2011, Electronic Arts posted that the next game in the series would be Command & Conquer: Generals 2.[30] On December 14, it was also announced that a new browser-based, free-to-play MMO Command & Conquer game is currently under development, under the name Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances.[31] On December 15, Tiberium Alliances began a closed beta.[32]
On August 15, 2012, it was announced that Generals 2 would be repurposed to a free-to-play game known as simply Command & Conquer.[33] The new game would have been based around the Generals franchise. However, following feedback from players who were able to play the alpha trial, the game was cancelled in October 2013.[34] Currently, EA has said that the franchise will continue, but has given no other information.[35]

Much of the music for the series was composed and produced by Westwood Studios' former sound director and video game music composer Frank Klepacki for the early games, with composition duties being taken on by several others following the liquidation of Westwood Studios in 2003. Klepacki returned to the series in 2008 however to assist with the soundtrack for Red Alert 3.
The music has been received positively by critics, although praise was higher with earlier entries.
The original score for Command & Conquer: Red Alert was composed by Frank Klepacki and was voted the best video game soundtrack of 1996 by PC Gamer and Gameslice magazines.[36] Among his most famous songs from the series is the theme of Red Alert, titled "Hell March", which accents the style of the game with adrenalized riffs of electric guitar, the sounds of marching feet, and synthesizers to a dramatic chant. Originally intended to be the theme for the Brotherhood of Nod faction in the Covert Operations expansion to the original 1995 Command & Conquer game,[37] the track eventually ended up enlisting itself as a staple in the Red Alert series instead, and a second version of "Hell March" was specifically created for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.
After C&C came out we wasted no time kicking out Covert Ops. I wrote some more ambient style themes they asked me for, and then I began tinkering with this heavy metal song that I was trying to gear towards Nod for the next big C&C game. Brett Sperry came in my office and said "You got anything I can hear for the new C&C?" I played it for him. He said "What's the name of this one?" I said "Hell March." He said "That's the signature song for our next game."[38]
Reception and legacy[edit]
The Command & Conquer series has been a commercial success with over 30 million Command & Conquer games sold as of 2009.[39] Games in the series have nearly consistently scored highly on video game review aggregator websites GameRankings and Metacritic, which collect data from numerous review websites. As noted in the table below, the highest rated game is Command & Conquer with a score of 94% from Metacritic. The highest rated game averaged over both sites is Command & Conquer: Red Alert with an average of just over 90%. As a series, Command & Conquer games have averaged approximately 80% when including expansion packs and approximately 84% without.
Command & Conquer's long history resulted in Guinness World Records awarding the series 6 world records in the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008. These records include "Biggest Selling RTS Series", "Most Number of Platforms for an RTS", and "Longest Running Actor in Video Game Role" for Joe Kucan, who has played the part of Kane, the villainous mastermind of the series, for 15 years.

Comfort is the name of the game when it comes to the Tuckered Out Dog Bed by West Paw. It features a supportive bolstered edge that keeps any dog, big or small, warm and comfortable. The open front design makes this dog bed ideal for puppies and older, arthritic dogs. The lowered front makes it super easy for puppies, dogs with shorter legs and older dogs to easily step in and out.
The Tuckered Out Dog Bed by West Paw is available in four stylish colors and four super-functional sizes. The berber material is super cozy, super durable and will surely keep your dog snuggled and dreaming about chasing bunnies and eating bacon. This dog bed is filled with 100% recycled IntelliLoft fill, which is made of recycled plastic bottles. The IntelliLoft material prevents this bed from bunching up and becoming awkwardly shaped like most other dog beds on the market. A stylish bed that is good for the environment and still comfortable, now that's a win-win situation for everyone.
Another great feature of the Tuckered Out Dog Bed by West Paw is the fact that the entire bed is machine washable. You don't have to worry about unzipping any bulky outer shells or buying a new bed when it gets dirty, because you can just toss this whole bed into the washer and the dryer. How convenient is that?

Women's Golf Wraps Up Spring Break Week with Pair of Head to Head Wins over Holy Cross and Findlay
March 13, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The Pfeiffer woman's golf team beat DI Holy Cross University at Tot Hill Farms Golf club in Asheboro on Wednesday and University of Findlay on Friday in a pair of head-to-head matches during spring break.
Wednesday, the Falcons were lead by Stephanie Peareth (Durhan, England) with 82. She was supported by Chelsea Demers (Wilton, NH) and Angela Gimenez (Castellon, Spain) who each shot 85, and Captain Jackie McMenimon (Easton, MA) with 85. Lauren Lyle, Amanda Wemple, Kelly Hill, and Meredith Beavin competed, but were not involved in the scoring.
Tot Hill Farms is the #7 rated difficult course in America, according to Golf Digest annual rankings. It is right behind Bethpage Black course from New York, which among the most difficult course in the country. The course was saturated with water, and a challenge for all. Holy Cross best round was 86 by Maghan Doughery, 88 was shot by Johann Gavin, 87 by Ellie Deluca and 92 from Kerrin O'Leary. The margin of victory was 339 to 353
On Friday, Chelsea Demers shot a one- under par 71 at Willow Creek Country Club in High Point North Carolina. She led the team to victory over University of Findlay, a D-II school from Findlay, Ohio.
Chelsea had five birdies and four bogies in her best round of the season. Angela Gimenez shot a 77, Jackie McMenimon had a six over par 78. Lauren Lyle and Kelly Hill rounded out the team scoring with 85's. University of Findlay was led by Andrea Vogt with a 76. Going into the last foursome of the tight match, Pfeiffer was down by a shot. McMenimon's 78 and Demers 71 bested their last group by 5 strokes, to give a winning margin of 311-315. The 311 score is the best score of the spring season for the Lady Falcons.
The Falcons return to action March 21-22 in Pinehurst during the Wingate Invitational.

In 1971, Congress declared our wild horses and burros an integral part of our public rangelands and ordered the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to care for them as cultural icons. Over the years, the BLM has rounded up tens of thousands of our wild equines, often with cruel methods, and shipped them to tax-funded holding facilities where they are confined for the rest of their lives.
The BLM is again looking to apply the same failed model of round-ups and removals in revised management plans for wild horses out West. These plans must be altered.
If adopted, these management plans would decimate the wild horse population in the Wyoming Checkerboard, a two-million-acre mix of public and private land where nearly half of Wyoming's wild horses live. This is certainly not the free-roaming vision Congress set out for these majestic animals.
The good news is that you can help! The BLM is accepting public comments through Friday, September 27, on the potentially devastating revisions to Resource Management Plans that will cull wild horses in Wyoming.
Please be a voice for our wild horses before their time runs out. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly contact the BLM. Urge the agency to adopt policies that give horses their fair share of habitat and keep them on the range where they belong.
On behalf of the horses, we thank you!
Wild horses were born free and that's the way they should remain, free. Rounding tem up and confining them is utterly cruel. Let them in peace.
Liza Englander
Wild horses are American treasures. They should not be rounded up so that the cattle industry can further profit.
I believe we are here as stewards of the earth. We reap what we sow and our children suffer. This is all about greed. Very sad.
These animals need to be protected and allowed to be free!
Please use your power judiciously and compassionately
Thank you

The BLM needs to think outside the box and stop using cruelty and violence to manage one of our last American natural resources. How many sheep and cattle are grazing on public lands??? The BLM would never dare to start rounding THEM up!! There are millions of head of cattle and sheep out there and only some thousands of horses spread over the vast western US. C'Mon. Surely the Federal Government can do better than to contribute to the abuse and suffering of animals in this country???
These are beautiful animals that help man in more ways than any man can help each other. Man is cruel, animals only know love, so leave the horses live in peace. They aren't bothering anyone, they live together and find their food and water.,
Let the horses live out their lives free and naturally. The horse has become an iconic symbol for the American frontier. First it was the Native Americans, then the Buffalo, now the horses! When does the government madness stop! STOP!
I am sick and tired of our PUBLIC LANDS being managed for a few mega ranchers. The PUBLIC LANDS the BLM is suppose to be managing for the good of the PUBLIC have been managed strictly for range land for mega cattle ranchers for eons. It is time for the BLM to listen to the public and not the $$$ they are getting from the ranchers. To start with your methods of rounding the horses up are inhumane - I have no idea how many horses you have run to death or crippled in your insane haste to appease the ranchers but it needs to stop. The wild horses are a big part of our heritage and need to protected just like any other National Treasure. Thee the right thing to do and there is the wrong thing to do - what you - the BLM - is planning is so far WRONG it's ludicrous. How about listening to the PUBLIC - who owns the land - for a change???
The government has no money to help home owners in desperate need but no problem to waste tax money on rounding up innocent wild horses.
i have lived all over this world, i have seen the seven wonders- but the most beautiful thing i have ever experienced was here in colorado. my husband worked for the forest service on blm land and i often would join him where he was working for a picnic in this beautiful mountain area. one day we looked up and saw wild horses running, there were 14 of them, the lead horse was a large white with a mane about 2.5 ft long flying in the wind. she stopped and looked at us, rared back on her hind legs set out a powerful whinnie and the rest followed her very quickly away from us. there is not a more beautiful sight than horses running free. please don't take this from future generations. it would be like tethering an eagle

The issues with the latest SimCity release are pretty interesting. I personally have not purchased SimCity. City building games don't really interest me. As well, after the experience with ME3, it will take an absurdly amazing game to make me install EA's Origin again.
However, one common complaint seems to be unfair to me. Many people are complaining about how EA/Maxis is making people go online for a single player game. But after reading a couple of reviews, and following a forum thread for a bit, I think EA/Maxis has made something more interesting than a mere single-player game.
It seems to me that you don't really build cities in this new game, but that you build neighborhoods or boroughs instead. The maximum city size is fairly small, but each city trades with its neighbors. One city may have lots of jobs, and the city next door has lots of people, so the people go to the city next door for work.
Or you trade utilities or resources. It seems to me more a game where you have to specialize and harmonize with your neighbors.
To put it in terms of my city, instead of one single person building Vancouver, instead one person builds the West End, one builds Downtown, one builds North Vanouver, one builds Kitsilano, etc. Each neighborhood exists on its own, but each has a different character, and relies on the others.
In a lot of ways, this is a far more interesting and ambitious design than the single-player game where one person builds an entire city.
Though, I will have to admit that I was greatly amused by the guy complaining that the main export of one of his neighbor was criminals. Ah, online gamers, so true to form.
This design is very intriguing. It's almost enough to make one take another chance on Origin. But not quite enough.

What's the problem with Origin? It's not the best service out there, sure, but it's better then Steam was when it launched, and has a few features that puts it over Steam currently.
It totally has terrible sales, though!

I remember Origin as being dog-slow in ME3. Like it took forever just to log in and start playing.

That's not Origin, that's Mass Effect's own servers. It's the same on every platform.

I think you missed the main reason people were complaining about having to go online to play the game: the servers were unusable for at least two days after the game went live, and even today the servers aren't working as they should, with a lot of the niceties like knowing what your region actively looks like on the big overview summation, and having an entire speed setting removed to take the stress off of the servers.
In todays society, gamers are getting increasingly frustrated with everything needing to be online, yet game companies have yet to figure out how to launch such a game successfully. Simcity is not only the latest but one of the worst I've yet to experience - and it's still ongoing.

|Diane Davis Receives the Passion & Results Award
Congratulations to Diane Davis who was one of three people in the United States to receive the Instrumentation Laboratory (IL) "Passion & Results" Award.
Davis is a Clinical Laboratory Specialist in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. She has been an ACH employee for almost 23 years.
The "Passion & Results" Award honors healthcare providers who have demonstrated true passion for their profession, resulting in improved patient care. Instrumentation Laboratory (IL) received an overwhelming number of nominations for professionals involved in Critical Care and Hemostasis diagnostics, all around the world.
She received the award during ceremonies at the Annual Meeting for the American Association for Clinical Chemistry (AACC), in Chicago during July. The award comes with a $2,000 educational grant for their institution in recognition of their "passion and results."
"I was honored to receive the award, as I considered that I was representing all the staff here at All Children's who perform lab tests at the bedside as part of our mission to provide the best possible care for our patients," Davis said.
"We are very proud of Diane and the impact she makes as a healthcare professional, passionately striving to enhance the quality of patient care at All Children's Hospital. We salute Diane and all of the staff who show exceptional passion, dedication and commitment to our patients," said Becky DeCroteau, ACH Director, Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
In announcing the award, IL said that Ms. Davis exemplifies the pioneering Point of Care (POC) Coordinator, developing an entire POC testing program - from scratch and with no set of directions or an existing model.
"IL is proud to honor these inspiring individuals who exhibit remarkable passion and an unmatched commitment to achieving the best results for their patients," said Joseph Manent, CEO at IL.
Davis's Point of Care Testing (POCT) program, initiated in 1994, has been heralded as "one of the best" in the United States. It provides testing for three pediatric ICUs, the NICU, CVOR, Cath Lab, and the Emergency Center.

The ISM Adamo Breakaway shares the same bio- mechanic design and shape of the Adamo Podium. However, the difference is that the Breakaway features more foam padding and gel to soften the ride. Climb on an Adamo Breakaway and you'll likely ride off to the front of the pack.

Comments about ISM Adamo Breakaway Saddle:
I mountain bike several times a week and the pressure of a regular seat can be painful. I spent the extra $40 for the ISM because the description said it had more padding and gel than the Podium. If that is true, I am glad I did not buy the Podium; this thing is not well padded at all.
It also feels wide in the front between my thighs when peddling, I am trying to get used to that. The good news is, the seat does eliminate the pressure where it counts.

Comments about ISM Adamo Breakaway Saddle:
I first tried a ISM Adamo saddle during a retul fit on my tri bike and while it felt a little different at first I quickly grew to love it so much I didn't want to ride my road or mountain bike. Now they all have ISM saddles! They support your sit bones and leave your soft tissue alone. I can't speak for the ladies but this is a must have for the guys!
Best Uses
Comments about ISM Adamo Breakaway Saddle:
Best saddle so far for me and I have tried a lot of them. For me, cut out and newer channel style saddles have proven a step better than traditional styles. This saddle is a very large step better yet. Where this saddle really shines is when you ride in an agressive position and when you up your mileage/saddle time. I can now ride in the drops or in the aero bars in comfort. No numbness in those tender bits. Saddles are very individual but for me this saddle has saved me and allowed me to train for ultra endurance events.

Comments about ISM Adamo Breakaway Saddle:
Great saddle. Sitting flat directly own your sit bones (like you would on any chair) makes a huge difference for me. Wish I would have bought one years ago. No perennial pressure at all. Will now buy one for my mtn bike. Takes a little time to adjust and get used to. Highly recommend

Wore this one to work today. Really enjoyed it. I walked past one of the chefs who likes cologne and I try to get his opinion often. I stuck out my wrist and he sniffed it and I got one of the most vocal endorsements he's ever given. I pulled out a little sample spray vial so he could try a little on himself and he grabbed it out of my hands and probably sprayed himself about 20 times! He was like a rabid Tasmanian devil! I actually had to politely take the vial away from him explaining that I needed to save a little to get myself through the rest of the day. One other coworker didn't like it, but one girl DID like it a lot.
I like it, so that's what matters the most. Great stuff!

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

The Paradox of a Marketing Planning Capability
2004, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science
Rebecca J. Slotegraaf, Peter R. Dickson
Strategy scholars have long debated the value of formal planning, and research has offered inconsistent support for planning to enhance firm performance. Given these mixed empirical effects, we draw from the resource-based view of the firm to illustrate a paradox firms may face. In particular, a strong marketing planning capability may not only reduce the incidence of postplan improvisation but also contain inherent process rigidity. Since both of these can also increase performance, results illustrate a performance paradox in marketing planning.
Slotegraaf, Rebecca J. and Peter R. Dickson (2004), "The Paradox of a Marketing Planning Capability," Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Vol. 32, No. 4, pp. 371-385.

These Reef flip flops are very traditional styled flip flops, made well and perfect for warm weather. I am glad I ordered a size up from my son's size though. He wears a 1 in sneakers and I ordered the 2/3 and they fit perfectly so if you are unsure, order the next size.
I'm always happy when my daughter picks something that isn't pink. She loves her flips as she calls them. She is still getting used to the thing between her toe. Good choice for being able to run around camp or run out the door to play.
I order a pair of these from Moosejaw everytime my son outgrows them. He wants to be just like Daddy in his Reefs. He loves them and has never found them uncomfortable. Now I am ordering them for friends with summer B-days!
well the package came and in it were these teeny tiny sandals - infant/toddler size. The grom didn't mean a whole lot to me when it wasn't explained in your web site size chart. They were listed in the boy's/youth dept. which to me is boys 6-years and up. well, not according to your size chart is the sizing explained. Maybe you could do a better job diciphering infants/toddlers and boys/youths sizes!

For the inconvenience, I will not be ordering from moosejaw anymore. Thanks.

Whether you call it large, venti, grande, or grand, the 20 oz. cup is the new standard in beverage service. Hot or cold 20 oz. cups can be used to serve water or fountain drinks, or coffee and tea. The 20 oz. in cups size increases the perceived value of the beverage purchase and is large enough that customers are more likely to be full and not get refills. Since there are 2.5 cups in 20 oz. and 2 cups in a 16 oz. cup you only lose an additional half cup of product when you serve a customer the larger, more appealing 20 oz. cup.

Once you choose to provide HDS with your "personal data" (any information by which you can be individually identified), HDS will endeavor to make sure it is only used in connection with your business relationship with HDS.
However, by submitting personal data to HDS, you indicate that you consent to HDS' collection (including via our website) and use of your personal data as described within the scope of this Policy. Should you have questions regarding this Policy, feel free to email HDS at: firstname.lastname@example.com

Despite HDS' commitment to protecting your personal data, there may be circumstances under which HDS may be deemed to be legally compelled to disclose your personal data. These circumstances may include, among others, situations where disclosure is required by laws applicable to HDS, or necessary to comply with an order of a court or governmental agency, export control, or necessary for matters of safety and security.

Yes it is amazing to see how many people do not have clean water!!!
wonderful stuff–I am enjoying Compassion's root growth.

Stacey Foxxx is truly a foxy lady. This fine, ebony babe came over to hang out by the pool. But once it was too hot, her clothes started coming right off. When we saw her massive DD tits, we nearly lost our minds. But when she dropped her pants, and we took a look at the booty, we nearly fainted and required resuscitation. Lucky for us Stacey Foxxx provided the kind of mouth-to-mouth that will save your life. Well, actually it was more like mouth-to-dick. And from there she climbed on top to work that fine ass and pussy. This girl can ride dick like a pro. See for yourself in the preview below.
Energized to demonstrate several work outs, Lauren Phillips was on her brand new physical fitness ball. Her butt appeared great even when she stretched out and shifted. Right after a lusty exercise session, she did a good split and began to have fun with her damp vagina. She subsequently got her fine-looking mouth filled by a big cock. Immediately they banged with the workout ball and received numerous climaxes.

Wanting an assessment about her newest clothing creation, Sofia went to her companion. She appeared amazing in her outfit with her wonderful shape. After a lusty strip tease, she moved her rear end to her buddy's pleasure. She afterward got on the bed and began to take pleasure in herself. At last her companion took control and shagged her firm slit constantly.
See Sophia and Way More Wild Thick XXX on Monstercurves.com
The group had been cruising to the beach when they noticed Emily Benjamins on the side of the road. She had been stretching out and offering a peep together with her tiny shorts. Once the lads approached her as fitness experts, she was really prepared to take pointers. This did not take very long before she opened her legs and got a number of dirty thoughts. Jmac was in snatch heaven and worked her in each and every position possible.

Each and every dude like to get a good body massage once in awhile, right? This Asian woman named Ms. Ka Lee has great blowjob and hand talent. This girl brings her customer back into her massage room and does not waste any time having him get naked and massaging body oil all over his frame. Lee received the okay to proceed with her naughty massage and she hoped on the massaging table. As soon as she jumped up she began licking his dick until she had it totally hard. Lee moves her wet Asian twat down on that hard dick and began fucking it like a true pro. If you liked this post, then watch this film and much more at HAPPY TUGS.

On her way to the beach front, Ms. Lola Larue was along with her buddy. He was waiting even though she kept on teasing him with her large delicious booty. Inevitably, they did not go to the ocean front and lubricated up her lovely butt. She became horny and sucked that schlong with her round rumpbootay up. He stroked her pussy while her awesome ass moved around.

Pretty tiny Taylor Luxx has a extremely kinky side. She might look sweet and naive but don't assume it. All things considered, she brought inside a grown up man for getting banged. He had some bad sucking from Ms. Luxx. Nonetheless thumping her sweet vagina made up for this.

Wes Burton will not be in the lineup for the Camping World Truck Series Coca-Cola 250 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Tony Stewart swept the top-five in 2012 at Pocono Raceway and the top-10 the following season, but last year he finished outside that mark in both races, which leaves fantasy owners questioning if the 2014 results were an anomaly or a change in direction.
Sam Hornish Jr. has finished on the lead lap in 75 percent of his starts at Pocono Raceway, including in his last attempt in the 2012 Pennsylvania 400. He finished 19th in that event after starting 25th.
If 2014 is an indication, Michael Annett will be a solid dark horse at Pocono this week. Last year, he finished in the low 20s in both races, which showed a considerable advancement over his qualification efforts.
Denny Hamlin won his first two attempts at Pocono Raceway as a rookie and he backed that up with two more wins in back-to-back races in 2009/2010. Since then, he has finished in the top 10 five more times and outside that mark four times.
Gracin Raz finished fourth in Saturday night's NASCAR K&N Pro Series-West race at California's Shasta Speedway.
David Mayhew was credited with a 20th place DNF in Saturday night's NASCAR K&N Pro Series-West race at California's Shasta Speedway.
William Byron scores a 15th place finish in Saturday night's NASCAR K&N Pro Series-East race at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC.
Jeff Gordon spent only about 35 laps inside the top 10 at Dover from the 400 that made up the distance, but he made them count. He was running 11th and had just lost a lap to the leaders when a caution waved on lap 377. With only a few drivers left on the lead lap, he gained one more spot to finish 10th.
Clint Bowyer entered the FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks at Dover International Speedway with the longest active streak of top-10s. He finished ninth on Sunday and extended that streak to nine consecutive races.
Paul Menard finished eighth in the FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks at Dover International Speedway, which was his sixth consecutive top-20 finish. He has one top-five and two top-10s in that span of races.
Chip Ganassi Racing placed both of their drivers in the top 10 with Jamie McMurray finishing seventh and Kyle Larson crossing under the checkers third in the FedEx 400 at Dover International Speedway.
