My buddies, in a Gmail thread we maintain, were discussing Starcraft 2. I said I wasn't that excited. I then said "Allegiance > Starcraft... too bad nobody knows about Allegiance except me!"
Two of them work at MS, so they've heard of it. He then proceeded to tell me that "Me and David [the other guy] have played several full rounds of Allegiance. It is not an RTS, it's a space sim...." blah blah blah, and then went on to say that an average player would wear out the content of Allegiance "YEARS" before a player would wear out Starcraft.
I then proceeded to type up a massively nerdy rant defending my precious Allegiance.
But anyway, I thought that was pretty good. I told them to download R3 and log on with me some day and give it another whirl. I doubt they will, because it would instantly prove them wrong (I could have them comm vs aarm, rofl). But, you never know.
