What does ToME stand for?

EDIT: No idea how I misspelled "what"  :-[

"Capable of wiping out three powerful fleets" means "unthreatening" now?

Spent the day running virus, malware, and registry scans on the entire hard drive. No bad stuff! Always a good thing :D

Argh.  :(

Well, I guess we should pull the fleets back anyway. Last thing we want is for some enemy to show up out of the black and wipe some ships out.

We cannot afford to lose our three best fleets in a suicide mission. We must build up our forces, losing a few systems if we must, and then destroy it.

As for pulling First, Grey, and Unity fleets away from our current enemies, I have a question. Could we possibly use them to lure the cube over to our foes? I don't even know if this is possible in this game, but I'm thinking that some ships engage the cube, break away towards Ferengi space or whatever, and see if the cube follows. If it does, we get it out of our hair for a while and the enemy loses some valuable systems.

If the above is not possible, go ahead and bring our fleets home. Perhaps they can be upgraded or repaired while we wait for the meatshields heroic defenders to be built.

Word to the wise: if you get motion-sick easily, DO NOT play Shattered Horizons. If anything, I feel it does the "zero-G FPS combat" too well.

Aren't there limits, though? You can only pump so many anti-greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere to reduce temperature, unless one of the newer versions added additional ways to adjust planetary temps.

Just imagine the whole Stoning of the Harlot story:

Honestly what You Testiment is near herecy and insulting to the very religion it was set forth to promote (What with Jedi Jesus)

This one is at least hillarious watching (not playing)
Jedi Jesus sounds awesome, possibly better than Raptor Jesus or Kung-Fu Jesus.

Watching this, too. Be a Terrorist that learns the error of his ways and joins the peace gang.

I have GSB and Shattered Horizon, and they were pretty fun. Not sure if I really want the other three, but they could be good.

And like I said previously, this isn't the first time a Hitman game has involved sexy ladies in pseudo-religious garb. Not even the first time 47 has killed them. The only real difference is the slow-mo and the better graphics. Otherwise, it still fits entirely in the established Hitman universe.

And again with that "lowest" bit. I dislike that term; it screams "pretentious" to me.

I'm just not a fan of stupid grind house excess.

Really though, I think there's a few comparisons between this and the Brothers in Arms 4: Furious something or other trailer, which most agreed was just stupid AND tacky.

Fans of a series don't appreciate when you slap on kitsch just to get people's attention. It feels disingenuous to what makes a series good when you reverse yourself, or in essence whore out the IP to a gimmick.

Whether it's a BFD or not, I appreciate that it annoys people. Publishers seem incapable of marketing games these days other than to the lowest common denominator, even if that says absolutely nothing about the game itself.
That was stupid and tacky. I'm also not really seeing that many similarities between it and the Hitman trailer (aside from bloody violence, but then it's a Hitman game). If 47 had waltzed his way through the nuns like those four dudes, spouting one-liners, I'd agree with you.
