The site says $79.99 for me. I think it displays the price in your local currency so it could be in New Zealand dollars, although I can't be sure of that.

A bit later than usual, its time for Throwback Thursday once again. This week looks back at General Carville and his not so warm welcome to Canada in Red Alert 2 from 2000. Many of your orders were given by General Carville through out the Allied campaign. As the story progressed, things were not going well for the Allies and General Carville ends up relocated to Canada. He didn't seem to pleased. Perhaps it was his Texan stubbornness shining through. Do Texans not like Canada? Remember, you can click on the preview to see a larger and more detailed image. Don't forget to check out the Throwback Thursdays archives if you've missed a week. Check back again next Thursday for another Throwback. Send in your ideas for future instalments. We also encourage you to share this on social media using the hash tags #ThrowbackThursday, #CnCTBT and #CNCNZTBT.

I wouldn't be to hasty to judge this movie yet anyway. They haven't been filming for that long. Principal photography began in April 2016. As for the casting of younger actors for The Flash and Cyborg, I'm sure they have story reasons for this. Don't forget, these movies are based on the comic book characters, not direct adaptations. Its cool when they stay as true to the comic book origins but the stuff that works on the pages of a comic book doesn't necessarily transfer to the big screen.

We have this channel here in NZ, The Zone https://www.sky.co.nz/the-zone They seem pick up shows like this. Either way no rush anyway. It will probably end up on Blu-Ray and DVD before it ever screens on TV here I guess.

It was only a matter time until this, or the other 2 versions of the track were featured in Music Monday. It's Hell March 3, from Red Alert 3. Back in 2008, during the development of Red Alert 3, EA decided the game needed a new updated version of the iconic Hell March. And when you need to recreate one of the best tracks in video game history, you go and get the man who made it the first time, and that was none other than Frank Klepacki. To the delight of many in the C&C Community, Frank returned to contribute to the Red Alert 3 soundtrack. A new track will be posted next Monday.

For Throwback Thursday this week we continue to look back at the iconic units, and what is more iconic than Nod's Flame Tank from Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars in 2007. Brute force, combined with deadly flame turrets. Infantry never stand a chance against the intense heat. Especially effective for clearing out garrisoned buildings. The Flame Tank has been a main stay of the Brotherhood's arsenal for years. Remember, you can click on the preview to see a larger and more detailed image.

Looks interesting. If it pops up on NZ TV screens I will probably watch it. I have Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise all on DVD and still rewatch them from time to time. So another TV series is most welcome. The design of the new ship is clearly influenced by the Star Trek Phase II series from the late 1970's that never got produced.

Why do I feel like I've seen that before, probably way back in around 1999. Or maybe it was something similar. Either way, its still cool to find little gems like this No **** Sherlock Renegade was originally announced as Command & Conquer Commando.

No Windows 10? Both systems are eligible for the free upgrade, at least for the next week or so.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Trailers & Discussion
Sonic replied to Sonic's topic in Off-Topic Discussion
Watched the Ultimate Edition on BluRay last night. Adds many missing pieces, fills some holes. Made it a better movie overall, I liked when I watched at the movies earlier this year anyway. Batman is still the best thing in this movie for me. -
As always, its Music Monday time once again. This week we revisit Tiberian Sun's atmospheric soundtrack with the track "Mutants". This one has a very unique intro that makes way for a very techno sounding beat. "Mutants" was composed by Frank Klepacki and Jarrid Mendelson. A new track will be posted next Monday.

This weeks Throwback Thursday comes from C&C Renegade in 2002, but its really something that Westwood released for another game. The Renegade skins for The Sims. There were two sets, one for GDI and one for Nod. Each set included all of the main characters. So you could basically have Havoc walking around in your Sims game. When we used to have a large archive of downloads here at CNCNZ.com, these Renegade skins for The Sim were available. We don't have them any more, but you can still get them from this link. Thanks to Plokite_Wolf sending in the idea for this week's Throwback Thursday feature. Remember, you can click on the preview to see a larger and more detailed image.

Its been a slow week for C&C news, so lets enjoy some more classic C&C music with this week's Music Monday instalment. Featured today is "Run" from the Red Alert soundtrack.

Throwback Thursday this week looks back to the cheesiest of cheesy lines delivered by President Michael Dugan in Red Alert 2 from 2000. Once President Dugan telephones Premier Romanov and demands that he calls off all Soviet attacks and states that he put Romanov into power, Premier Romanov interrupts and says "We Romanov’s have our legacy to consider", President Dugan responds with a line that could only fit in the crazy world of Red Alert 2, "I don't give a wooden nickel about your legacy!". So cheesy, so corny, so cringe worthy but so damn memorable. Remember, you can click on the preview to see a larger and more detailed image.

Started Fallout 4 (PS4) recently. I find it overwhelming, the sheer amount of quests that keep piling up makes me loose track of everything. Not saying its bad, its just handled better in other games I feel. Aside from that, I love the setting of this one. And I do get carried away building stuff for the settlements

The story I heard was that Will Smith commanded to high of a salary for this movie, Fox was not prepared to meet his asking price. From IMDB.com http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1628841/trivia?item=tr2302562 The first 2 MiB movies are great, number 3 is weak though. Well you saw the ending, it's wide open for a sequel.

This weeks selection for C&C Music Monday is "Link Up" from the Tiberian Sun: Firestorm soundtrack. Another classic track from Frank Klepacki. Featuring a deep hard thumping base tune mixed in with communication sound effects. Parts of it even sound like an old dial up modem. As always, a new track will be posted next Monday. Share this on social media using the hash tags #CnCMusicMonday and #MusicMonday. (Apologies for the minor typo in "Firestorm" that appears in the video above.)

Its Music Monday time once again. And the selection for this week is "Brain Freeze" from Yuri's Revenge. This one features many tecno parts, and some good old heavy guitar riffs from Frank Klepacki. But the most notable feature is probably the quotes from old B-movies such as "Creation of the Humanoids", and . As always, a new track will be posted next Monday.
