I also used the "No Superweapons" rule for a while until I found that I didn't want to sit for six hours just to be recto-raped because there was a space of thirty-six seconds in which I didn't hammer every unit building button in my base. With superweapons enabled, there's no defensive play. You have to prevent the enemies' building SCUD Storms and whatnot. Of course, there's no "right or wrong" way to play the game (and, indeed, the "No Superweapons" rule was there in Zero Hour), but towards the end of my Generals LAN career I found I preferred ten short, intense matches to one long buildfest. But that's just me. :that perverted pink walking horse:

Holy f g mother of God!

That shit rocks like a rock guitar! Can you please smilificate it, or would that break some copyright stuff or something?

You should try talking to me about Fallout 2.

When I burst one of my boils, the pus comes out turn-based.

My problem is that I want all the boxes. I'l like that. I want the complete set! The one with Gordon, because he's the cool hero, G-Man because he's so cool, and Alyx because she's the . I mean the .

Although I'm sure most people got it the other way around, I saw Scarface last night for the first time, and I was like "Whoa! This is like watching Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Movie!"

It seems like fun. Any chance it'll come to the Xbox, at least? Do you have answers for me?

How big are they?

Hey-hey-hey! Sounds like a good idea. Let's hope none of the people are really into jumping between small platforms.

Aha! So, are the levels or maps or whatever they're called themed after the mind of the character you're "in" or something? I don't know much about this game.

Hey, where do I know that guy from?

Polls with 7 votes are useless. You should make one with 700 votes! That'd show them!

Especially since almost all the missions in the third game are near-carbon-copies of the missions in the earlier games.

Hey, at least they're not calling it Star Wars 3.

Yes, I hear Coke is evil. Also I hear that the Pepsi factory is supervised by God and that everyone there get free lunches.

There was a McDonald's game for the Amiga, too. I thought it was pretty cool. You played as either a white guy or a black dude, and you jumped around collecting m's.

Are these even better than Andy Capp? I'll probably buy some when I get the money to.

The intro in Indy and the Fate of Atlantis was pretty semi-interactive and cool.

Cauliflower soup, fish soup, tomato soup with eggs and macaroni and beta soup are my favorites. That last one is hard to translate, but it works just as well in English.

Well, you missed my Police Academy: Mission to Moscow reference, so I guess we're even.

It's Munch's Oddyssey, not Munchkin's. I liked it. It's a lot more actiony than Abe's Oddyssey and Abe's Exodus, and even though I don't think the last game comes anywhere near the two 2d predecessors, I still think it's great, and I'd definitely play it if I hadn't already. There's quite a bit of play in it, too, so it gives a lot of bang for the buck, if you're into that sort of thing. And if you didn't know it already, in Munch's Oddyssey, you play as both Abe and Munch, and there's a lot of gameplay based on toggling between the two and they both have their own strenghts and weaknesses, blah blah blah. But it's pretty cool. edit: Pretty embarrassing: I just found out, it's Munch's Oddysee

I never understood why telling the story in lame in-game cutscenes were an improvement over telling it in corny filmed and pre-rendered sequences. In the early C&C/RA games, those movies were like prizes for completing the levels level. The scenes in Generals aren't even remotely that satisfying.

I loved the C&C install programs (Ah, how I miss setting up sound cards) and the Broken Sword one, although the file copying hogged the system so much it skipped and was unplayable. Did anyone ever complete it before it was installed? My all-time favorite install sequence is from a ripped game I installed once, back when pirated games was only available to me from people who knew people who reportedly had hundreds of CDs with games on them! Well, anyway, the game was a Class rip, and the guy who made the installer wisely chose not to play some lame mod file while the game installed (and this was a long install, with first extracting all the files, and then decompressing all the little sound files. Anyone remember this?), and instead looped a sound clip of him, this crackly-voiced teen, saying directly, and too loud, into his fifty cent microphone -- and I'm serious -- "Class rules". Now that's an install sequence!

You know it's a year and a half off, right? But back on topic, as the man-dog said.
