I was on Facebook and found this post shared in a group I'm in. That's my grandfather.

I could tell you a lot of stories but the most important one is that he was an undiagnosed schizophrenic. There are stories I can't even tell because I have to wait for more people to die first.

I've heard him on Coast to Coast and seen a number of interviews with him in the alien conspiracy industry. But not one of them ever mentioned, and he never volunteered, that he was an undiagnosed schizophrenic.

Remember this when you hear people speaking with authority about things they can't back up.

cnc4, was so wierd and standalone. they thought they could target the asian market with that game, by making a wish .com starcraft. and they tried to money grab with tiberium ALLIANCE for some reason, i actually played and used the "free offers" get currency, eventually it became too hard without actually BUYING into the game so i abandoned it to focus on my classes.
