Aye, I've been an active participant in a few communities over the years. A few social sites, like Myspace doing writing and talking to other writers there, but I dropped that habit after face-book's rise...

Spent the most time in The Battlefield Singleplayer website and editing communities, since I was modding the old Battlefield games, spent over 2 years working on my own BF2 mega-mod, and did some editing on the old BF42 and Vietnam games too.

Plus I was active on the Mass Effect sites for awhile, until ME 3 got broken in. And in some game development sites when I was studying game design on my own, and bought a modest game engine back in the day to fiddle with. ;)

It's very similar to C&C Generals, but it looks about 87x better. Like, really, the gameplay feels almost the same. Even a lot of units felt similar. It requires some smarter tactics though - you'll need a balanced army of different units. You can't just rush with 20 of unit X and destroy the enemy base. You need a combination of anti tank, anti infantry, anti building, anti air... It takes a bit more planning than a standard C&C game, but is (about) just as fun, in my opinion.
Haven't played through the campaign yet though, so no comment on the story, if it has one.

Good morning everyone,
Hoping everyone is doing well, and even better than expected... it seems my attempt to answer an earlier post was eaten by the forum, so I’ll wait a bit and see if it pops up, or rewrite the response to that post in a bit. ;/

And the sale continues...

Ah, good, my response to Agent's question didn't get eaten by the Forum after all. heh!

Good afternoon, almost quitting time.

I totally +1 :) ... well said, DD !

And there are also many sexy guys without hair (or barely)... look at Bruce Willis !! ... or my partner, who looks even better than Bruce Willis :-)
But I understand your feeling, as my personal Bruce also can't help feeling bad about getting bald... even if he completely agrees that he looks much better now with his (almost) shaved head, than a few years ago with longer (and thicker) hair... well. Conclusion : you guys are never satisfied ;-p
**Big hugzzz** :)

Hurm, you've described fun mechanics, balanced gameplay that requires tactical thinking, and good graphics.

Sold! to the guy with the chamber pot on his head!

Now... we hunt!

Cool! :-D
I played a lot of BF back in the day (with my old community that I mentioned), and even tried* modding once.
(*downloaded and launched a map editor, had no idea where to start, and gave up ;-p)

Good morning, Ghost! Hope things are going well for you :-)
Ha, that's a good point... still, I'll miss it if/when it's gone up there *sniff*...
Now, if only all my back and arm hair would fall out too >:-p
And no. I'm never satisfied. Ever. That's why I keep buying games - I keep looking for the "perfect" one ;-)
Anyway, thanks for the kind words **extra-big hug**

Yeah, the map editor for the old BF42 was interesting, but it was hard to add bots to the maps, which I never did get the hang of doing. The BF2 editor was buggy but I was able to make a couple maps and add bots. Mostly both editors were good for changing vehicles and adding weapon pickup kits to scatter around the maps.

For BF2, I fully customized everything in the game, including re-balancing all the weapon damage, fire rates and bot behaviors, and added hundreds of other weapons and vehicles, making it play the way I liked. ')

Act of War also has a really good campaign to play through as well, definitely a must get if you like those kind of strategy games. :)

I've never played through the sequel though. Was really happy to get them both on GoG.

Totally... don't be sad... as you said, c'est la vie... **big happy hug**
And if you feel ba(l)d, you can always wear a fancy/sexy french beret... hihi ;-) or any other hat or helmet...
I sympathize, I'm never satisfied either ! :-)
**big hard to please hug**

Crow's next love, Subterrain is up! :P

Hihihi XD ... Excellent. I look wonderful :-p (very quick work, by the way - I'm impressed :-))
[Achievement unlocked : Give Agent the biggest smile of his day]
**happy crushing giggling return hug**

It feels weird having insomnia, and the weekend promo at the same time.

Ho... sorry to disappoint you... it was an old work ! :-\
I just reused it :-)
But I'm happy it put a big smile on your face !! \o/
**big happy hug**

Ho, well, it's still cool ;-) (I don't remember it though e__e)
**happy loop hug**
With a third promo on top of those... Never thought Insomnia would be so boring that I wished for a weekend promo :-|

Just a quick visit to wish you all a lovely day, and a wonderful weekend. I have some awesome things planned for my weekend, and hopefully the sunny weather will stay for at least the weekend so that it won't spoil a few of my plans.

Take care, everyone, and have a great long weekend for those of you on holiday!

*big holiday hugs and silly weekend waves*
