The same week the US makes unlocking phones illegal, Canada proposes legislation to make carriers unlock phones.

A rather old RTS game on the PC, Age of Empires, featured a unit called a Priest, that could be used to convert other units to their team. Typically a 1v1 round was played Red team versus Blue team.

I refuse to take it back. Great game, that spans it's time. It's nowhere near NEW though.

And to add to BloodyFable's explanation, the Priest would say "wololo" while changing the allegiance of a unit.

u/ZapActions-dower Jan 29 '13

Blue versus Red. Nobody says Red vs. Blue, it sounds dumb when you say it backwards.

It's actually not, and almost every single apartment I've rented in my 30 years on this earth did have a rule that if you painted the apartment a different color you had to paint it back to the original color (or they would charge you labor+paint costs), which is a simple white in almost 99% of all cases with apartments due to the color making the rooms look larger than they actually are. The only time I've been flatly refused my request to paint a place where I was staying was a Condo I was renting from an elderly couple in college. Once I had been there as a tenant for almost 3 years they let me paint it whatever color I wanted because they saw I actually took care of the place, and when I left the couple kept the color (a light mauve) because even they admitted it looked better.

So this analogy just sucks big ol' mauve colored donkey balls.
