Does anyone here like RTS games? Because they just came out with Command and Conquer 3 for the Xbox 360 (don't know if that's exclusively or not). Great game, haven't played the others, but the gameplay is awesome.

CAC.com I think it's also for computer for those who don't have a 360. All of the briefings are done by real actors and not digital characters; and from the demo I know it's a great game already.

RTSs are one of my favorite genres ever. im a huge fan of the age of empires series.

Age of the empires was good until the new one, I am also a fan of RTS
In fact, most of my video game collection that is mine 100% is RTS
Warcraft Series
Fallout
Starcraft
Diablo Series
Army Men RTS
Age of Empires series (excluding the newest one)

RTS were the first video games I loved. The first three games I owned for the first two Age of Empires and Starcraft. Fun stuff, though I hardly have time to play games anymore, which is regrettable.

I am very happy that Blizzard has finally announced that work on Starcraft 2 is well under way. I will own that game!

Oh no, not the equations! I hate those. If X=Z times the square of Y, then Y =??. Bloody letters, with their infinite possibilities! I want numbers, concrete numbers clear as crystal!

And RTS, I haven't played them that much. There was Wargames, where I always played as Wopr. (Who cares about humanity, those tanks can spin their turret while driving but still can't fire. Besides, the invincible robot army is a lot cooler anyway. Death to all humans!)
Total Annihilation is nice as well. This is possibly the only RTS where my low skills actually work! (even if I have the center of the map a constant battlefield with more units flowing in each second, I'm winning. Don't forget to salvage the wrecks afterwards.)

No, I prefer Turn-based Strategies myself. There is X-Com, which really went downhill after the first installment. Terror from the Deep was simple money-leaching and essentially Ufo Defense with a graphical overhaul. The cityscape of Apocalypse was nice, but any excitement was completely lost when your troops turned into tanks and psionics was defeated by having enemies either be immune due to being too dumb or immune due to being too smart.

Then finally, there is Master of Orion. I have 1 and 2, and I hope to add 3 to the collection someday. 1 is simpler and nice, while 2 has a ton of extra features. Here I tend to be the pacifist with the ridiculous number of missile bases to protect my small empire. Till I build the incredible doomstar (Deathstar, only faster and meaner all around) with 200 rapid-firing phasors, that is. Then I go around the universe, blowing up planets left and right.

I've been having the worst nightmares ever recurring night after night. Every single night I dream there's an extensive warrant out for my arrest and the police have come close or succeeding in finding and arresting me.

I looked it up in my friends dream dictionary and it said these sorts of dreams are often dreamt by people who have gone through harsh regimes and compassion. I thought it was kind of interesting since I was living like a jew in Germany in 1940 when I was illegally staying in the dorms after my banishment. I still don't know how to get rid of them.

best of luck to you my friend, and I think I speak for the forum when I say we want you to get better.

Here's looking up, eh?

*Tips a drink*

Starcraft is an excellent game (it's what got me into RTS) and CAC is a pioneer console RTS. The Protoss are uber (one of many inspiration sourses for the Naryyn). Blizzard was making a shooter game for Starcraft, Ghost.

But that was put on hiatis (sp.) and it may or may not get produced. *sigh*

Ugh.... Maths.... how I hate it. Horrible, horrible subject.
Graduation was fun last night. Despite my initial determination not to drink, I ended up moderately drunk (after a mere 4 pints due to the fact that I've never drunk seriously before) when they eventually threw us out of the pub because it was closing time
Was a fun night though.

Your crazy doomed.. go home you hippie .

The first C&C was my first computer game.. and then it was Age of Empires.. and then I really got into it with AoE2 (still play that game on LAN sometimes). After being awestruck for several years of AoE I could never really get into RTS's again so I played BF1942 religiously for several years and became (and still am) a 1LT in a BF2 gaming clan. Company of Heroes drew me back into the genre and by god is it wonderful.

I'm a big fan of the Europa Universalis and Civ series though too.

I just felt like it was time to ask how everyone was doin, due to the fact that Doomed is having weird dreams.

So, how are you doing?

Myself, I am thinking about getting a new job and girlfriend.... And trying to stick it to the man!

Second to last day at school and Pirates of the Carribbean III comes out tommorow! What could be better?

Well, if Tellie comes back and posts the Clash, that would make these next few days even more perfect! And when Minque get's back, that will also be good.....

dude. pirates III is gonna rock i hope.

Well....so I´m back...for those who will be pleased of that!

I didn´t fancy math at school or university either....maybe that´s why I ended up in nuclear industry! Anyway I wish you all luck with your decisions whichever they are....you are all great guys and I hope for all the best for ya!

I haven´t actually played the Age of Empires series but my son have them all and he kinda likes them...I..ehhh stick to MW....but I very recently met a guy who inspired me a lot to try out some other great games.....


He knows who he is

Remind me not to visit a Swedish nuclear powerplant.

man, i wish i had money......

taxes finally got paid off and i about cried

there are moths in my bank account.

*tear* Well..... at least my girlfriend has money....

well in other news...

with this post i surpass doomed by post count and take the number 9 place on the forum. not that those things really matter. i just like bragging

in more other news....

not that anybody cares all that much..but im going to a party tonight...

i just realized i have no more to say on that topic. but im on a roll now! lets see...

in about 2 and a half weeks im headin bout 600 miles south to florida to visit me father for a little over a month. i will be studying music with him and will hopefully have an album recorded by the time i return. an ameteur album, as im not great yet, but a disc with music produced by me none the less. during this time i will not show up here as often.. but then again i always leave without word anyway.

how do you spell ametuer?

Have been enjoying some days off (finally). So of course I have been finding ways to get in trouble- mostly involving chainsaws and pruning the maple trees that are around the house. Assuming we actually need it, I wiil have some firewood for the winter.

Well, I've been on a fishing trip with my dad. I'll be back at my trusty computer late Monday.

Thus far, though, Dad caught five fish, failed to reel in two. I brought in six decent sized fish, and failed on two.

Here's the kicker, I caught all my fish at a few minute intervals; arrived after Dad caught his first four.

So, I caught the largest, reeled in the fastest, and got the most.

We gave all our fish to this couple fishing on the same dock (I don't have a taste for fish).

When I get back, I'll resume working on my Fan-fiction (as Summer vacation has already begun for my school district).

So in the course of research for fanfics I discovered that one can convert dates to and from the Morrowind calendar (give or take a few days). Turns out my birthsign in Morrowind would be the Atronach. That is so cool! It's my favorate birthsign! Yay!

ShogunSniper: amature is one of those words I can never spell correctly.
