    The only time you ever need silos is when you play C&C1 and want to save up money for the next mission.

    Captain America: Civil War

    TaxOwlbear replied to Gben's topic in Off-Topic Discussion

    But I REALLY want to see another film where Spider-Man whines for half the running time...

    Let's Play Command & Conquer Red Alert 2

    TaxOwlbear replied to TaxOwlbear's topic in Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge

    I only recently realised that you can actually take over one of the Soviets bases in this mission. I decided to go the commando way nevertheless.

    I'm not really a speedrunner. I guess I could pull of a couple of speedruns, but I doubt I would beat records set by RC1985 and other any time soon. Ultimately, I just like to play C&C and share that with others.

    On hard, there's no need to attack the Scrin at all. GDI is way stronger than they are, and will destroy them soon or later.

    Ah, this mission. You can probably just rush in with your initial forces, but I wanted to build a little bit first.

    Amazon is changing the way how you buy games

    TaxOwlbear replied to PurpleGaga27's topic in Gaming Discussion

    It's probably another plan to drive people towards Prime. I could swear that here in the UK, Amazon deliberately delays shipments for non-Prime people (on top of the non-next day delivery).

    Well, I'm not exactly the first to LP it, and the views are still above average for my channel.

    This mission introduces one of my favourite tactics: Harrier cheese, the best tactic if you just need to destroy a single targets.

    I'm drafting a letter to EA

    TaxOwlbear replied to jeffnz's topic in Off-Topic Discussion

    Leave out the politics, especially when it's conspiracy stuff like the "coup in Ukraine". The claim that the Americans are always the good guys isn't even accurate. Zero Hour end with China being the world's new superpower after the Americans let down their NATO allies. The Tiberium games generally feature GDI units voice-acted by Americans, but that's true for Nod too. I'd say that RA2 is the only game that is really pro-American (if we want to use that term). Even in RA3, one of the bad guys is an American, though the Allies are the good guy faction. Overall, the letter just reads like one big, highly political, anti-American rant. EA is just going to bin it independently from the non-political points you make.

    Unlike the original Red Alert, this game actualyl gves us stuff right from the start, like planes.

    BFME series now abandonware and free to download?

    TaxOwlbear replied to PurpleGaga27's topic in Gaming Discussion

    Awesome. Time to get out my old CDs.

    BFME series now abandonware and free to download?

    TaxOwlbear replied to PurpleGaga27's topic in Gaming Discussion

    "Abandonware" is a made-up term with no legal meaning. What's probably true is that EA doesn't care because re-releasing the games is difficult due to licensing issues. Anyway, do those include the zoom out mod?

    It's on: Here is the invasion of England and final mission of the game.

    It's time to take on Command & Conquer Red Alert, the sequel to the original Command & Conquer and one of the most beloved (if not the most beloved) C&C game. The Allied campaign is already finished and can be found . The first Soviet mission is probably one of the easiest C&C missions ever. You really have to go out of your way to lose it.

    I promise, this is the last time we have to deal with that Chronosphere:
  17. TaxOwlbear
    Here in the UK, TT was available for less than £10 less than a year after its release, which has to be a record low.

    Here's the whole thing all over again, but with more planes and less choppers:

    C&C Jeopardy #2

    TaxOwlbear replied to PurpleGaga27's topic in Command & Conquer: General Discussion

    7. That stealth APC from Red Alert 1 Also, is the Shogun Executioner larger than the epic units from Kane's Wrath?
  20. TaxOwlbear
    This isn't exactly my favorite mission. The map is designed to make maneuvering as obnoxious as possible, and the edges of the map feel really artificial here.

    New Tiberium

    TaxOwlbear replied to Ravendark's topic in Tiberium Wars / Kane's Wrath Maps & Modding

    Damn, now I want somebody to mod that into the game as an SFX.

    How to make money?

    TaxOwlbear replied to Stygs's topic in Tiberium Wars / Kane's Wrath Maps & Modding

    Basically like that. That would be closer to the Generals economy, where lategame (provided you get there) income is generated by hackers/drop zones/black markets or oil derricks.

    How to make money?

    TaxOwlbear replied to Stygs's topic in Tiberium Wars / Kane's Wrath Maps & Modding

    Is there a way to have the Tiberium spikes give more money over time?
  24. TaxOwlbear
    Just how many lorries do we have to babysit throughout this game, and why are we transporting valuable equipment through enemy territory AGAIN?

    Let's Play Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn Redux

    TaxOwlbear replied to TaxOwlbear's topic in Generals / Zero Hour

    Here is the second Nod mission where we liberate Egypt. Considering that this Africa's second most populous country, that garrison seems to be rather small. Then again, so is our task force.
