With the new load screen, there is an interesing "easter egg" within it.

Try to figure it out. Hint: check the new maps that it shows.

I made the load screen, and I have no idea what your talking about, but I do know that I didn't build in any "easter eggs" to the parts I worked on.

heh.. the Sand has a screenshot of snow (or perhaps it's Gobi?)
And Snow has a screenshot of the one above.

I know, not a real easter egg, but thats why I had it in quotations. Missed errors such as this that aren't anything major are more of an amusement than a serious problem, hence the use of the term.

An "Easter Egg" is a hidden un-documented feature, it does not apply to this situation.

Zunnie made the screenshots and labeled them, blame him.

I know, this is why I said it wasn't a real easter egg. So yes, it was an intended misuse of the term.

Intended misuse is not an oxymoron. You can, and I'm sure quite often do, choose to use something for an application other than its intended purpose. So the two terms do not contradict each other, therefore, not an oxymoron. Now, if he had said that he properly misused it, that would be an oxymoron.

Intended misuse is an oxymoron because the intent of an object is for it to be used properly, intending to use it improperly, therefore, is contradictory, and is an oxymoron.

Close, but still wrong. In the context that he said it, it is not an oxymoron. He was saying that his MISUSE was intended, not that something was intended to be misused. He purposely misused the word, the word was not designed to be misused. A baseball bat was not intended to be used as a club, but I might intend to misuse it as a club. If the person making the baseball bat intended that people use it as a club, it could be seen as an intended misuse, and therefore an oxymoron. But not in the sense that he was misusing the word on purpose.

yes, designed to be misused is an oxymoron. Intending to misuse something is not.

I think it's good snipesimo. 1 thing tho....in the original load screen at the top right it showed a pic of Field from a sky angel from behind the War Factory. No image is there now after downloading CP1. Is that right? or should there be a pic?

That is correct, it should be a list of common Community URL's

and it gets cut off.

Never mind, it was a stupid strings file Razz
