Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is free on GOG for 2 days, it's on the top of the page. https://www.gog.com EDIT: Also on Steam and the Humble Store.

You call your posts humourous, I call them being edgy for the sake of being edgy. All you ever do is make some stupid comments that are deliberately made to be in dissonance with what others around you think, and to boast how "teh awesomeness" you are because you're on a quaint programming course (instead of an actual degree). Get over yourself. Good. We can start by kicking you out. Yup. _________________________________________________ Now, off the topic of local jesters... This is a question I'd like to stress the most rather than focusing on individual features at this point. News posts have dipped in views like never before, Music Mondays aren't really that followed despite Klepacki sharing it on his own Facebook page, and we see the same "boring" people on the forums posting occasionally. What can we do to change at least some of this?

Actually, they're still rocking full-on IPB3, most likely an unupdated version.

Just because you get downvoted for retarded posts? We've been through this again and again, not happening. Get some brains and all will be fine.

How dense of you.

Finished all story missions and activities (apart from a few holiday-themed Genki challenges) in Saints Row IV + story DLCs. That's such a good series. And that's coming from someone who didn't like sandboxes before.

If anyone's still interested... In Flames - Deliver Us [2011]

Did you put all the animations' tags in the animation list?

I'm talking about you not knowing that "cutting edge" is a real term outside of the Ghostbusters.

No.

Red Alert Mobile is an almost undocumented title in the Command & Conquer series. One variant was released for then-standard phones in Java format, and another, better known, for the iPhone and iPad. Both were released in 2009 by EA Mobile Romania, and take place between Yuri's Revenge and Red Alert 3, hence the technologies seen ingame are a mix of both. The iOS versions received an expansion with the Empire of the Rising Sun, but the Java version apparently did not. @TaxOwlbear, a community member with a respectable list of games he's recorded, including the vast majority of C&C titles, started releasing let's play videos of the Java version, starting with the Soviet campaign. Stay tuned to his YouTube channel for more, as new RA Mobile videos will be released on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 AM UTC.

Red Alert 3 rarely gets love from modders. But when it does, it gets it big time. A group of fans from the Chinese modding community developed Archon mode maps. For those who don't know, Archon mode refers to a multiplayer mode in StarCraft II where two players control the same base and army. In these maps for Red Alert 3, though, there is the limitation that one player controls the base construction, unit production and managing top secret protocols, while the other controls units and participates in battles. The maps included are the most common 1v1 maps: BattleBase Beta, Cabana Republic, Fire Island, Industrial Strength, Infinity Isle, Snow Plow, and Temple Prime.

While we aim to cover all things Command & Conquer, we often forget that they had two "cousin" series: Dune and The Battle for Middle-earth. In this new CNCNZ.com article, I look at each of the games in both series individually, first giving the basic information on them and core gameplay points, after which I give my subjective view on them. I've also shared links to their official and fan-made patches, as well as multiplayer servers where you can play them. Click here to see the article.

Do you see Blade Runner anywhere on Origin?

SteamWorld Dig is now on Origin's On The House. Seeing indies on Origin makes me so sad.

That's an installation step, not to be used when you already have the game on your PC. The setup.exe is on the disc.

What setup.exe are you even trying to find, and why?

No, you need to directly run Generals.exe in both the Generals and Zero Hour directories as admin. The First Decade launcher doesn't affect that (and BTW, you don't need that launcher at all now that you've patched it to 1.03, as no game within TFD requires the DVD after that). Even if that fails, you can manually create the Options.ini file that early SAGE games sometimes have trouble creating on newer Windows systems: http://forums.cncnz.com/topic/12319-how-to-play-generals-zero-hour-in-windows-7-x64/

Did you manually install DirectX 9.0c, and are you running Generals as administrator?

The same guide applies, you just skip the parts telling you how to install/patch TS etc. So that leaves installing RA2/YR/Gen/ZH, installing GenTool for Gen/ZH, and reading the "Handling Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge on Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10" section for RA2/YR.

Several things have been going on in the C&C community in the past few days, so we'll go through them briefly: The Red Alter mod team have started working after a long hiatus, and have released the source models of what they've created so far. Kane's Wrath Reloaded (a Tiberium Wars mod despite the name) has been updated to version 1.91. Rampastring's alternate Tiberian Sun client has been updated to version 5.40 (use 5.30, then update it manually), and now even features the missions that were exclusive to the demo. An unofficial hotfix was released for the Zero Hour mod Shockwave, which resolves the pink Pathfinder texture on snow maps, fixes Kwai in the General's Challenge and makes Tao use his advanced nuclear silo in skirmishes and the General's Challenge. A full install of Shockwave version 1.201 is still required. OpenRA playtest version 20170902 has been released, featuring 40 resolved issues, a balance overhaul and the new "Agenda" map for the Red Alert mod, balance tweaks for the Tiberian Dawn mod, and a new version of the Mod SDK.

This week's pick for Music Monday is the Yuri's Revenge track Defend the Base. Another slower composition, it was positioned as a late game track, and to me personally it brings memories of all those prolonged matches. A new track will be posted next Monday. And as always, don't forget to share this on social media using the hashtags #CnCMusicMonday and #MusicMonday.

Did you run both the TFD setup and the patches as administrator?
