  1. Totd...which is kinda like Todt...which means "dead" in German
  2. Here I was all thinking it reminded me of the spade symbol from playing cards.
  3. Btw, to the Reborn team...for the upcoming update (if you're not already doing this) could you rearrange the purchase menus so that more commonly used vehicles like the Tick Tank and Stealth tank show up in the top four slots, while others like the DT and SubAPC get moved down?
  4. Are you actually playing with those sounds in-game, or did you add them into the video later?
  5. Wait, isn't forg always going on about how much he likes C&C4? Or was he completely kidding about that?
  6. I posted this idea back on the BHP forum...it was to just get rid of the Construction Yards and just let all buildings self-repair. So yeah, that way on a bunch of maps you don't need to run out to repair that damaged Pillbox at the very edge of your base. Also, not having a Construction Yard would allow your base to be more compact and easier to defend. I don't think I ever saw any response as to whether people liked this idea or disliked it, but anyway here it is again.
  7. Sig Sauer? Never really paid attention to what weapon Tanya used in RA2, nor did I look around to see if the manual said anything about it...but the C&C wiki says it's the Colt M1911.
  8. Huh, so I see FRAYDO switched himself over to the Vatican. I actually tried doing just that, but "Vatican City" and "the Vatican" didn't work, and it needs to be typed in exactly...but apparently it's "Holy See".
  9. I don't really see anyone demo-n00b nowadays...with the exception being sammyd. Hence the (dis)honorable mention.
  10. I believe the reasoning behind nominating Clinton was that Democratic Party officials looked at the way the public reacted to Obama. People seemed to mostly hate the economic stimulus, and Republicans attacked Obama as being a socialist. Democrats lost the midterm elections, and a little less than half the country voted for Romney. Okay, so people don't like socialism and "big government", so we can't have Bernie Sanders...that'd just be suicide. So they gave us Clinton instead. Or maybe I shouldn't say they "gave" us Clinton...she wins the delegate count even when you delete the superdelegates...but yeah, they were cheering for her. Honestly, I think Clinton would have brought change as well...more modest and incremental change than Sanders, sure, but change nonetheless. Now before you say "she's a tool of Wall Street!", wasn't the same seemingly true of Franklin Roosevelt as well? FDR was the very picture of the wealthy elitist upper class, but he ended up enacting Social Security and the New Deal.
  11. Oh, the masculine/feminine thing is a German thing where every single noun is either "masculine", "feminine" or "neuter". So whereas in English we just say "the tree", "the flower", "the house", in German it's "der Baum", "die Blume" and "das Haus" since they're masculine, feminine and neuter respectively. There's not any rule as to what sort of object gets which gender, you just gotta memorize it for each and every noun. And to make things even more infuriatingly complicated, der/die/das can get completely swapped around depending on whether the noun is the subject of the sentence, the direct object, the indirect object, or is used in the possessive case.
  12. So uh, if it had been Bernie Sanders versus Trump...would you guys have gone for Sanders?
  13. Hmm, so I've been making a (somewhat half-hearted) attempt at learning German for a while now. One day out of curiosity, I got the idea to try looking up a German version of the Bible online and try comparing some familiar verses I knew in English to their German counterparts. Did a Google search, clicked the first link, went to Genesis 1...and oh man, I could barely understand a word Anyway, how is it that the Koran ended up as masculine and the Bible as feminine?
  14. I'm not really convinced the no-fly zone thing would have happened. Clinton is more hawkish than Obama, but only slightly.. The two of them generally share similar instincts and temperaments. As for Wikileaks, okay I didn't pay much attention to that so I guess I won't comment...but the Saudis didn't fund 9/11. They do promote an intolerant version of Islam which we think contributes to terrorism...but fund 9/11? If that were true, the U.S. Army would be occupying Riyadh right now.
  15. I'm pretty sure the idea behind nominating Clinton over Sanders is that she's overall the more measured and moderate candidate, able to attract consensus, and ultimately more likely to win. Sanders was seen as too much of a risk. Also, it wasn't just superdelegates tilting the primaries in favor of Clinton...I seem to recall that she won most of the primaries fair and square. Personally, I don't think Clinton was anywhere as corrupt as Trump made her out to be. Sure she's got a spotty record, but a Clinton nominee to the Supreme Court would likely overturn Citizens United, and the Democrats are usually the ones favorably inclined towards campaign finance reform. Even if she had ties to Wall Street, political pressure would almost certainly have resulted in her choosing her voters over wealthy donors. But...even if you're convinced they're both scumbags...I'd still say people should have voted for Clinton. We can easily survive a Clinton presidency. Trump on the other hand...
  16. If he's nuts, then shouldn't you be hoping he doesn't get stuff done? Anyway, Dwight Eisenhower.
  17. Infantry fused to a vehicle? Sound familiar, Silverlight?
  18. Wut, does it count as demo n00bing if you actually make it to your target a good portion of the time? Because if so, maybe I should have put down ktrs instead...

  20. I never see anyone from W3DHub/BHP on CnCNet. Or at least, no one who goes by the same name they do here...
