No way I'm even creating an account on Origin.

Hey Crow, EIT,

I'm fine thank you, been quite busy with work, and trying to actually play some of my games XD

Good evening, everyone!

How are you all doing? I hope you have had a good evening/afternoon?

Likewise. One shot of gaming-related weakness (well, okay, two if I count this absurd feeling that I somehow need to clear a wishlist when I already have at least 5 years worth of games on-hand) is more than enough.
Glad to hear it. =)

Playing the games...a novel concept. -laughs- Looking at Moonshine's thread, my completion rate went to shit after February.
Good evening. =)

No complaints here, enjoying American Horror Story in between talking here.
Not the most tangibly productive day ever, but at least it's enjoyable.

How was your day?

I don't any experience with such games either but i was able to play Sole Survivor at some time ago. You control one C&C unit and fight against another unit (atleast in my case - it was an A.I there)...

And i aloso want this only for the sake of completion :).

Good evening *big welcome back hug*

Still doing mostly fine...how are you?

Good evening!

Glad to hear you are having an okay evening watching some horror and enjoying some fun conversations (at least I hope they are fun conversations?). I have most of the good Command and Conquer games. I have a collection of the "first decade". I think I own them up to Command and Conquer 3, but that was the last I own, due mainly to the fact they ruined the games and also the DRM.

My day has been good, thank you. I had a regular work day today, but the rest of the week until Friday I am working 16-18 hour days again.

Good evening!

I am doing good, thank you. Have you been up to anything fun?

How heavy is your power armor?
*tries to lift DD*
Can you pick me up for a hug?

I played through and completed all the titles aside from Zero Hour, used to have the same collection you do.
Was able to run through the rest eventually, and in hindsight, the inclusion of the third faction was really the beginning of the end for the series in terms of quality.
In similar shitty fashion, the addition of AI partners for Red Alert 3 was the end of that series.
If you're forced to depend on AI, it had better be exceptional. Otherwise it's going to be something the player hates.

I have no doubt that you'll be able to manage such heavy workdays, but I hope you don't have to deal with them for long.

Well i've been lurking and posting in the forums and listening to some Music from Tom Waits :).

My guess would be very heavy. Have you ever worn a suit of armour? I have, chainmail armour and plate armour, and they were both heavy, especially the plate armour, so I would think super thick Power Armour would weigh a lot. But that is why is it Power Armour, the power aspect helps you to handle the weight of it all.

*Picks up little blog and give him a big hug*

I picked up a longsword once. Pretty heavy stuff but probably not as heavy as a Thunder Hammer.

I really want to play Shadowrun, but I don't want to start another game when I already have loads I'm half playing... :/

Trying to at least finish Halfway, but while the story is quite good the combat is a bit boring.. and the random number generator is plain awful. I swear I miss 80% hit shots 50% of the time...
Problem is other than getting some new weapons and armour the game hasn't really evolved since the start, and some of the enemies are seriously overpowered.

Plus I'm working on an idea for a roguelike, and trying to keep it in hand and manageable (i.e. something I might be able to make, rather than a massive open world 3d epic which is what my head keeps telling me to do). I'm trying to come up with a complex, yet fun, combat system; which I'll probably bore you guys with at some point to get some opinions on whether it would be any good or not.

I did not mind the Generals games, they were not my favourite (and a bit too American for me (no offence)), but they were okay. I preferred the older games, they had so much charm and a wonderful atmosphere. The third Command & Conquer was okay, the story was a bit meh, but it was ruined (IMO) by the third alien race. Also there were things that made little sense (yes I know it was just a game, and the previous games were never that realistic). Take the first NOD mission on C&C 3, the entire defence for the space station is just a few basic level turrets. You would think something as important would have a decent garrison. Also, why couldn't we destroy US landmarks on C&C 3 like we could on Red Alert 2 (strange that you can destroy London landmarks, just not American, such double standards :-))?


Have you seen Moonshine on at all tonight? I have not seen her all day.


There is a Royal Armoury in my county that often has days when you can handle lots of different weapons. So much fun! :-)

You should try some armour on if you ever get a chance, it makes you realise how strong people must have been back then to be able to fight while wearing such things.

Now that you're asking - i don't think i've seen her all day either. If she were on the forum today, she probably would have showed up in this thread...
