  2. What's my Friday playlist, you might wonder. Back when I was with GameReplays, there would occasionally be someone in the staff forum posting music on Fridays. I gave it a shot several times with posting my own, usually pre-determined posts, and they were received rather warmly. So I'm bringing it back right here on CNCNZ.com, for everyone to see this time around. What can you expect? Various genres, from regular rock and pop, going in both ways from there on occasion: heavy metal on one end and shameless Eurodance on the other. I keep my music choices varied, frankly, and as time went on, I've been discovering and enjoying various songs and artists. I like what sounds nice, or just that bad that it actually sounds good. I love music and music videos, and I'd like to share this with you guys. Perhaps the songs you hear here will get you ready for the evening, or prepare you for a lazy night at home? So, we start with my most recent "discovery", the band Garbage and their first single "Vow", which was, believe it or not, popularized by word of mouth before making it big on TV. Gotta love Shirley Manson Garbage - Vow [1995]

    PW's Friday Playlist

    A special Croatian football music edition for today. We have loads more, but these are the top. Baruni - Neka pati koga smeta [1998] Made in our glory days of the 1998 World Cup in France, the chorus "Neka pati koga smeta, Hrvatska je prvak svijeta" ("Who is bothered by it can suffer, Croatia is the world champion") now finally has the potential of getting its full meaning! Rawbau - Vatreno ludilo [2008] Yes, that's Slaven Bilić playing guitar. And yes, he was our coach at that same time. Boris Novković & Dino Dvornik - Malo nas je, al' nas ima [2004] This is basically one big unloading of important Croatian people and terms up to that time. Sure, some are, um, controversial, but the point is to fit the chorus "Malo nas je, al' nas ima, nije važno - srušit ćemo snove svima" ("We're few but we're there, it doesn't matter - we'll crush everyone's dreams") Zaprešić Boys - Igraj moja Hrvatska [2018] These guys emerged over a decade ago, and are notable for their chant-like singing. This is currently the hit fan song.

    IT'S NOT COMING HOME !!!!!!! Whether it's silver or gold, I don't care. This generation surprised me, surprised the world, and has completely surpassed our legendary 1998 generation!

    The Croatian team has proven not to be the same bunch of failures I've been seeing over the past 3-4 years, so yeah, I'm rooting for my own guys once more. If anything to remove the obnoxiously smug face expression from the British media. Modrić and Lovren can still suck it, though. Not only for them being sellouts, but also because Modrić is an overrated mouse with very little presence in the field. The ones who need to be in the spotlight are Rebić, our national heroes Subašić and Rakitić, and even freakin' Vrsaljko.

    France why
  7. Updated with BF2Hub, MoH Reborn and a Star Wars Galaxies server list.
  8. It's actually been available for a whopping 3 years and nobody from the C&C community ever noticed, believe it or not. You can find it if you... erm... look hard enough.
  9. Well it looks so in certain screenshots and doctored video footage, but it doesn't play like one.

    It's still all a Croat remembers when you put Croatia and England in the same sentence But seriously, England hasn't had serious footballers in many years, their league is filled with so many foreigners so there's not many players to fill a national team with. I'm surprised they got this far to begin with.
  11. Attention, all users of The Ultimate Collection on Origin! Bibber has uploaded version 1.20 of the fixed TUC launchers which should hopefully resolve the issue created by the most recent game updates on Origin. You can download them from his website, or here on CNCNZ.com. Make sure to follow our complete guide on properly installing and patching all games within this compilation!

    C&C Rivals

    It's not forbidden, but it's downplayed. Shilling and all.

    Also, if I'm not mistaken, all the initial champion's title favourites apart from France are now out? This is definitely the most interesting World Cup I've witnessed.

    Belgium finally brought football back. Their performance was so magical!
  15. He gave you a list right there, for crying out loud.
  16. The developers at Redwood Studios seem to be highly aware of the overwhelmingly negative response to the recent announcement of Command & Conquer: Rivals. The studio's general manager, Michael Martinez, whom we have first seen at EA Play on Saturday, told Eurogamer today that while they are fighting an uphill battle against an already sceptical audience, they want the game to be judged solely on the gameplay, and invites everyone (n.B. only players from the United States and Canada currently have access to the pre-alpha) to try it out and "give it a fair shake". Game designer Greg Black, whose return to EA last November sparked hope for C&C fans of a new RTS considering his prior work, added how he too was originally sceptical of the game when it was first presented to him, but as he played more of it, he began enjoying it more. They do not seem to be all that confident, however, as when Eurogamer asked whether they will be able to "win round the sceptics", Martinez merely said that it would be a challenge.

  17. Anyone can read text out loud with little to no commentary or investigation. Also anyone can lie about their feelings on something for views and subs.
  18. It's a special double feature for tonight. We bring you both the news from the official front, as well as some new and a few residual older pieces of community news. So let's get right to it. First, we cover the official stuff regarding Command & Conquer: Rivals. The game was patched twice in the span of one week. Right after the first patch on the 15th, a new patch was announced on the 18th and deployed on the 20th. Both of these patches were fine tuning for the game's balance, so there were no new features added or existing ones changed so far. What is linked above is part 2 of an interview from EA Play 2018 with Greg Black by Bryan Vahey. While part 1 (which also featured Michael Martinez) and the beginning of part 2 had nothing that we haven't heard before, the middle of part 2 sheds some light on Black's return to EA. Now on to community news. What you see above is "A Moment Of Madness", an awesome video by DoMiNaToR, one of the most successful Zero Hour players in modern times. It was done with the help of GenTool, and is not unlike a similar video by the latter's author xezon titled "A Moment Of Silence" from 7 years ago. A few weeks ago, Renegade-X received patch 5.354, which fixes maps, a few bugs and makes some quality-of-life changes. On Saturday, 30th June, GameReplays.org will host a 1v1 tournament in the recently updated Kane's Wrath mod One Vision. On 7th July, there will be a "C&C3 Conjunct Tournament", which will simultaneously be held in Tiberium Wars and its Kane's Wrath expansion for a prize of $150. That's all for now. If you have any news you know about and want featured here, please drop us a line.
  19. You got my answer in the previous post. He's flip-flopping his stance on Rivals.
  20. A YouTube channel that has recently popped up on my feed is one called simply "tg". As of two months ago, this dedicated Yuri's Revenge fan started posting analysis videos for a lot of things in the game, from comparing basic infantry and anti-air weapons, through detailed unit features like the ones for Brutes and Navy SEALs, to comparing the economical effects of Ore Purifiers and Industrial Plants. This channel is definitely worth a look!
  21. (timestamped, look at how "pissed off" he is, shown by his complete lack of interest on what's going on) Honestly, fuck you. 1. You're not me, therefore you don't know why I said that. 2. That's really not the reason. Sure I hate him for that too because he can't research worth shit despite his façade of going through a few articles just to get more views by appearing "informed". 3. You will not try to put words in my mouth and reduce my points to something so moronic.
  22. That video is rich, coming from someone who was incredibly disinterested on Rivals in his own re-stream of EA Play and who clearly doesn't know two shits about C&C.
