Other than that, this is pretty high on the list: http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20041103.html A lot of people hate this comic, but I adore it. I have actually BEEN suicidal before, but finding this comic and laughing at the idea actually helped with my recovery. Plus it has the same appeal as the Darwin Awards with the added bonus that you don't feel guilty for laughing at the deaths of actual people. And there's something very PPC-ish about the main characters; two snarky teenagers making a living out of killing people they feel are a blight on society in various creative ways?

I'd forgotten about the Yellow Zones... by

good point. Personally, though, I'm still mildly unconvinced. I think that GDI were right to attempt to leave the Yellow Zones to their own devices while they poured all of their money into anti-Tiberium research. If ZOCOM's efforts worked in a Red Zone, then they would instantly have switched to the Yellows, knowing that their tech works.
Also, gas masks against Tiberium? Epic fail.
Regarding your entire second paragraph... what? Where did that information come from?
And Kane has the Tacitus again (I've never finished either TW or KW)? GDI kept it hidden effectively, didn't they? Good job, well done.

They're made with nanotechnology so as to look the most possible like humans, including inside. They have the same chances to get injured or sick, and to die. The only difference is their nervous system.

Oh, well. Welcome, person! Have a spare CAD. You'll need a lot of them; they tend to be highly suicidal.

It's nice! I like the centre city especially - there are lots of ornate and pretty buildings to admire. It is taking me a while to get used to the heat, though :D (not helped by the fact that it was winter back home).

Steming back to the author debate, but I think this warrents it`s own thread.

You don't taste good to you. I'm sure that you'd be quite... delicious, if I ever desired to eat your soul.
OW! Sorry, one of the characters in my head decided he was going to be a pain again. He's a bit sore about having been driven insane alongside his host, and he's taking it out on me.
Sanity? When did I ever have a need for such a useless thing?

mostly, it's the yellow zones by

Basically, GDI really doesn't help the people who live in the yellow zones despite being reasonably capable of doing more or at least evacuating a number of them to the blue zones. The reclaiming of yellow zones is nice, but they don't even provide, say, gas masks. That sort of thing is why the militants say "The oppressors must die!"
They also show some recklessness and disregard for human life in terms of the research they conduct in Kane's Wrath. Experiments in liquid tiberium killed numerous researchers and weren't stopped until after nod blew up the facility. Likely the only reason they didn't restart it after that was that the destruction of the facility turned Australia into a red zone. Also, they were risking the Tacitus entirely more than was really acceptable. Experiments that have a 10% chance of causing it to explode each experiment are rather unwise.
As for Kane saving Earth from the Scrin, the key point is that he lured them to Earth early. The Scrin plan was to wait until no effective resistance remained on the planet, which usually occurred when someone detonated a liquid tiberium bomb. The Scrin came to earth and were totally destroyed, instead of waiting a while and arriving to find no resistance. Of course, the inbound invasion fleet might be an issue, but apparently Kane turned the Tacitus into a tiberium remote control or something like that prior to the start of the upcoming fourth game. We'll see how that plays out.

I'll just stash that in the empty bit of my brain that used to hold my sanity. It's really quite good for storing food, I've found.
