I see dopey 3D view and 3D chit view. Where is the top down 2D? Did I
misunderstand what's means by "top down 2D camera view?" Cuz I can only
get "weird-ass isomorphic view of chits from 3D."

Hey, I figured out how to - sort of - get a 2D view. Kind of.
But I loved this next bit. I've reached the venerable age of 51. I
like being able to zoom in a bit on graphics. Because the default shows
me a vague beige blob with assorted unidentified pixels. Even with my
reading glasses. Oh, and I dragged Mrs. G. over to the screen and
asked, "what does that say?"
"Whaddaya mean? "Say?" It looks like a garden plot."
And it makes me ripshit when the manual says, "to zoom, use the wheel on
your mouse" ... *and I'm using a fucking laptop without a zoom wheel*.
Yeah, whew. Don't bother making PGDN zoom in or anything.
Some sixth sense tells me I'm going to be ripping this game extensively
in the coming hours.

A real gaming man ,especially at 51, uses a gaming machine not some
laptop. I couldn't live without a mouse wheel.
However feel free to rip the game...I found it boring right off the
bat. That mostly might be me..been there done it so many times.
Still..I find Pz Corps still enjoying so that says something.
I never played the BG either. That and the other tactical wargame
released by matrix just didn't cut it. However I realize there are
other younger gamers with less playing time:)
Oh and on your sig. I hear the new Chief of Manager at Cherokee is
1/32nd blood. Hmm same as Warren.
Howie can stick it up his butt.
You need to listen to Bernie Sanders more;-)

generations ago. Yup--that's exactly the quality of thinking I would
expect for Bernie.
I'm twice as much Irish as this person is "Cherokee". This gives St.
Patricks Day new meaning for me!
But there a small problem. What do I do with being 75% German
ancestry and having equal or better parts of English and Scotch-Irish
as I do Irish? Ignore them I guess and pretend to be whatever
ancestry I want--subject to change of course.

For those of you having trouble grasping the game-play from the Matrix rules, it's much easier to figure out what's going on if you first read the board-game rules; Well, I for one found it easier.

Does he have pasty white skin, blue eyes, blond hair ... and stopped
listing himself as a Native American when he got on the faculty of
Harvard?

Heh. His latest bright idea was to reduce gasoline prices by taxing oil
companies more.
Non-retards can find the glaringly obvious flaw in that theory.

"Some laptop?" It's a Core i7 with 8G's of RAM and a high-end Nvidia

Trouble is, it doesn't zoom down enough. To read the counters, you have

I'm more "Native American" than this pathetic white bitch is. Not that
I'd try to parlay blue eyes, white skin, and strawberry-blond hair into
a "minority" check-box to advance myself ahead of other candidates.
Indeed, I'm incensed that some rich white cunt can get away with this.
Even worse is the question of why any institution gives a rat's ass what
"race or minority" some twat is.

Fuck it. Check whatever box on the form that will make dumb-shit
lefties believe you're a Zulu. Zulus get preferential treatment, maybe.
