So nostalgic for my formative years.

Fuck Lal. Seriously. Oh sure, he talks a mean game, and I agree with many of the things he says. But make no mistake, that sanctimonious asshole has only one thing on his mind: his own power. "Freedom is great, so long as it's on Lal's terms!"

Here I am, running a Freemarket Knowledge-based Democracy, and you're gonna call UN Sanctions on ME? Oh sure, we were buddies a couple turns ago, you loved it when I was fighting Yang's commie horde so you didn't have to, but the moment *I* get the majority vote in the Planetary Senate, ohhh, here come the UN "Peacekeepers", to keep the "peace"! "You've been conducting experiments into retroviral technology!" even though I haven't. Or rather, I have, but I haven't fucking used any of my retroviral bioweapons, nor any of my nerve-gas pods for that matter, even though my Katana mk3 assault choppers have been secretly outfitted with them for decades. DECADES.

Lal can go shove his pretty progressive-libertarian speeches right up his mag exhaust. He's a neoliberal bully and a hypocritical, would-be autocrat.

BUBBLES! FETCH ME MY PLANET BUSTERS! We've got a war to end!!!

Five stars for reminding us that mediocre voice acting in vidya games is mediocre.

I never got this project

Boy did that prediction age poorly.
