mattress and beauty sleep

I remember Donna Axum was a spokesperson for a mattress company. Bert Parks was her co-spokesperson. They were shown in the company commercial, but I can't remember which one. I also can't seem to find it on YouTube. Could someone please help? Thank you.158.222.165.116 (talk) 06:34, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Chambers Biographical Dictionary - Andrew Dallmeyer

Hello all, I am hoping someone has access to this book to find out if Andrew Dallmeyer is featured in it. According to this website it has some useful information - Though it doesn't say which edition. Thanks in advance. ツStacey (talk) 17:53, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Is there any space RTS or 4x game where the space is 3d?

Is there any space RTS or 4x game where the space is 3d instead of the usual 2d bullshit?

Homeworld (and its sequels). It's an old game, but you can still get it on digital distribution sites like GoG. A modernised version (Homeworld Remastered) will be released on Wednesday. -- Finlay McWalterᚠTalk 21:22, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

"*Its a fantastic game." Fixed that for you, Finlay McWalter. Also, Sword of the Stars is another one. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | ^{Say Shalom!} 4 Adar 5775 21:26, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

• Back in the day Descent (video game) was a really good one. --Jayron32 09:53, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

But it's a shooter, not an RTS or 4X. -- Finlay McWalterᚠTalk 09:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I seem to recall Star Trek Armada having some 3d combat (in that units could move a certain distance above and below the plane, and the range would be adjusted accordingly). From what I remember the AI made absolutely no use of it though, and it was a sufficiently minor feature that most players didn't realise it existed (which could be used to good effect in multiplayer, since even a small range penalty to your opponent makes it much easier to defend valuable assets).
