Tell me: does anyone else think that StarCraft and Earth: Final Conflict are oddly similar?

They both involve two main alien species.
Both alien speices were created due to the intervention of a third species that liked screwing with the genes of other peoples.
The third species was destroyed (or were they?) by their creation.
Humanity is caught in a titanic struggle between the two species.
One of the species wishes to use some aspect of humanity as a weapon against the other.

I guess there are only so many sci-fi plots, but still...

"I think this reason why girls don't do well on multiple choice tests goes all the way back to the Bible, all the way back to Genesis, Adam and Eve. God said, 'All right, Eve, multiple choice or multiple orgasms, what's it going to be?' We all know what was chosen" - Rush Limbaugh, Feb. 23, 1994.

and what happens if you blow some shit up and it comes back down and hits a fan?

They don't seem to have all that much in common, to me.

Tahna, that's not unlikely. I suck at m-player. Give me a computer opponent, and I'll blast the snot outta it, but against a human, I have no clue.

But, hey, if you're serious, drop me a message on ICQ sometime. Maybe I could learn something.

I've suggested a Flare m-game of SC:BW before since so many people have it. Nothing has ever come of it though.

To bad too, a tournament to see who's really the best here would of been cool.
