    Red Alert 3 Beta Almost Here!

    It is only a multiplayer beta. I surprised by a couple things that I've seen. it's still fun though.
  3. I'm glad you're going Sonic! I bet you're spending more than the prescisely 24 hours I spent in Vegas when I went there. That was the only bit that really sucked. Getting to see westwood before it was shutdown was definately worth it. Can't wait to hear about your trip!

    Command & Conquer 3 Demo Info Page

    I want to play now....
  7. You've got to realise that a lot of people were disappointed with Tiberian Sun after all the hype and info the community got ahead of time. The same thing happened with RA2 and Generals. Since then EA has been a lot more cautious about the info they're disseminating to the community. The game is also a long ways off. They need to pace themsleves in the release of information before the game arrives. If they don't, the game will suck because we'll know the whole story before we get to experience it. And I certainly hope you don't want that.

    There was a CnC mmorg

    Redwood isn't the place to look into this one. EALA would probably be the place to go. Redwood is mostly EA worldwide HQ. and it does a little bit of development...

    Act Of War: Direct Action

    Act of War is pretty fun. I wouldn't say that the missions are short by a long shot. They make take less effort than most recent games, but they are seperate objectives and they flow together really well. I very much enjoy that fact alone. It keeps you involved in what's going on in the game. I also really like the cutscenes and I hope it shows companies like EA that live action cutescenes are still viable. Not everything has to be done in engine and feel so impersonal. I almost wish this game's opening sequence ended with a "Welcome Back, Commander"...

    Annoyingly, with the advent of eps 1-3 no books created before they were have no credence what so ever.

    BfME Arrives

    I browse online, figure out what's out there, what's coming and then figure out where, when, and how to best accuire it.

    BfME Arrives

    Well, everywhere in North America but here(where I live) recieved BfME today. Annoyingly, the EBGames from which I had pre-ordered didn't recieve its shipment because of an aircraft malfunction. I hope everyone that can play it is enjoying themselves.

    BfME Arrives

    They usually do that here, but when it's a preorder and factory sealed... Anyway, exchange went fine, it runs great. I need to play some more, but haven't had the time.

    Half-Life 2 - Game of the Year?

    Or what he does in the missing week. That seems more likely for Barney. and/or a Sheppard return. It might be nice if they had a game as Dog. *Spoiler Alert* They really should have something explain what happens when the citadel falls. *End Spoiler Alert* I really hope they don't leave the rest of the story untold.

    Half-Life 2 - Game of the Year?

    With the conveyance system? wait for one set to start moving by, run across the bridge and grab the one that goes off to the left, not the one that goes through the sterilization beam.

    Half-Life 2 - Game of the Year?

    Just finished. It's really weird. The ending is so open ended and you're actually fighting right up to the end, but You're left with so many thoughts and questions, but I'm feeling completely and totally satisfied. Yes, the game is rough is a few spots, but the puzzles are fun and awesome. The weapons totally kick ass, the story drags you in immediately and just.... Wow. Wow. GotY 2004, hands down.

    Pistons V Pacers V Fans NBA Brawl!

    Because any overpaid cry baby NBA player(pretty much any black player who was drafted before finishing college and was given a $10+million a year contract based on his showboating skills as the NBA is all about entertainment and not at all about sport) in the same position would likely react the same way.

    Pistons V Pacers V Fans NBA Brawl!

    You're wrong. Contact means you can run into the player as part of the game to stop them within purpose(player with a puck, or running with the ball in american football). In basketball, you can't deliberately make contact with an opposing player. If they run into you, it's their fault. if you don't get yourself solidly planted, it's yours. Basketball is a non-contact sport. Same as real football. As for Artest, he was likely being thrown out of the game and lying down on the table was totally uncalled for, he was just being a fricking cry baby basketball player and not listening to the officials. He deserved at least a 5 game suspension just for that. Attacking a fan that didn't even throw the beer at him gets him the season. It's what he deserved.
