It's not that bad. Better than starting a whole thread about it, which tends to happen a lot here.

Does anybody want to add me on Steam? I'm buying Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 tomorrow. I mean I guess it's weird to ask people I hardly know to add me but I only have 1 friend I play with and it's lonely.

My username is SniperInWonderland and I'm from the UK so I think time
zones are the only problem here :/

hells yeah bro I always need more people to play games with.

I'm trying to decide on some Vidya to get for my birthday. My first priority is getting my hands on the Orange Box. If that fails, Arkham Asylum.

For some reason I'm not interested in getting any Wii games this time around.

The only Wii games on my buying horizon are Other M, Galaxy 2, Epic Mickey, and Shadow Tower.
Shadow Tower looks so good oh my God.

im still not a fan of RTSs
they take too long to build up then they get knocked down so easily

i like DoW2 though

C&C4 is turning out a LOT like DoWII. I don't even think they HAVE base building anymore. Though, thats why I'm not a big fan of it.

C&C4 is, more or less, trying to capitalise on DoW2's very different way of doing RTSes... but fails horribly. Because it completely glosses over what makes the DoW2 system work, and tries to incorporate old-style mass armies into it. The entire point of the way DoW2 works is that there's a much greater focus on individual units, and getting into strategic positions, and a lot less simple attack-this-target play that regular RTSes have.

That, and the fact that the DoW2 system was NOT suited for having army construction in its singleplayer mode. Long story short: it's meant for evenly balanced teams, with smart commanders, and not regular "They have a giant army, but they'll only attack lightly" play. Hence why DoW2's campaign simply didn't have buildings, and unit leaders can just be revived GearsOfWar style.
