I’ve looked up to try and see if there are any other references to Tiberium anywhere, and I can’t seem to find any, so it seems Command and Conquer and just general geekship is making itself more mainsteam in things these days. I wonder if “Average Joe” would know these references.

Edit: Thanks to Skillers of Techious, which in this thread (also people in a CnC forum thread) pointed out the other references that I should have noticed. So it seems that all these references are becoming more and more common.

If you don’t know what Tiberium is, then I’m guessing you haven’t played any of the main Command & Conquer games.

Is this Tiberium at the bottom of the image?

Note: Sorry to the people at Sure, I don’t mean to pull your products apart :P

Edit: Here’s a link about Tiberium on Wikipedia for those who don’t know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberium
