  1. Edit 2: This got way too long for a short point. So nevermind the spoiler. Main point is that language is irrelevant, his name is what matters. On Wikipedia for example on every entry of an Icelander they specifically mention at the top of the page that this should be avoided as it's wrong.
  2. Okay, this guy is just here downtown and I've never heard of him in my life. I've heard of the company but only in passing. It's just some nobody who got some attention for being an idiot. (Edit: To clarify, Iceland is such a ridiculously small country (similar to a small city) that pretty much everyone has heard of pretty much everyone worth hearing about. For example everyone knows CCP and most people that are in the video game scene recognize the names of the key people there. This guy does not make the cut.) On a semi-related note, they spell and treat his name incorrectly. It's Jónas Antonsson and should be referred to as Jónas so [...] in-person or online," Antonsson said. is just wrong. Icelandic patronyms are never used except to distinguish this Jónas from some other Jónas. Considering the nature of patronyms there are no fewer last names than there are first names so it isn't any more telling to use the last name. Understandable mistake but a mistake nevertheless.

    CNCNZ.com 15th Anniversary Contest

    I don't have a color printer, will black and white be all right?
  4. I got my Microsoft Paint primed and am ready for everything you throw at us.
  5. This is plain and utter bull****. I might consider this if there was a chance at getting the soundtrack and artwork but since I'm a subhuman non-American that's not an option. Come on EA! It's 2012, "shipping" things throughout the world takes no effort on your part. Not to mention the lack of CD's/DVD's...
  6. Tl;dr AGM proves once again that he is a pretentious, arrogant [redacted] that can't write while accidentally stumbling on some good points. And some bad ones, do not be fooled.
  7. Splendidly done but I think (or desparately hope, your choice) that you will be very wrong.I think the game will be reasonably good for free and with options to buy enhancements.
  8. I doubt it... At launch at least. It wouldn't surprise me if more factions (plenty of them) would be added later.

    EA Gearing Up for Gamescom 2012

    Perhaps you're right but I still think this can't be a good thing for the community...

    EA Gearing Up for Gamescom 2012

    It's certainly possible but Guild Wars is an MMO, an MMO with a much stronger fanbase than C&C has.
  11. I agree about the mod section but even so this was a stellar episode.
  12. You fail to take into account that you're in the US where hardware is cheap and people have got (relatively) high income. I don't know how it is in Europe (where the biggest fan base is) but where I am at hardware is ridiculously expensive.

    /r/commandandconquer

    Hey, you're right! I hadn't noticed that. I'll definitely use it when the oppurtunity presents itself.

    Hey! I just wanted to plug the recently resurrected C&C subreddit. If any of you are redditors make sure to subscribe. The old moderators (Methuselah and crazy_panda, whoever that is) have been removed because of inactivity and yours truly has been appointed the new moderator. It's very inactive as it is but I'm trying to change it and according to the traffic stats I'm not doing too bad of a job. So if you are a redditor please take a look and subscribe.
  15. I'm not a big fan of Origin, but I don't hate it either. I'll buy the game pretty much no matter what.

    Kim Jong-Il Dies!

    I feel the same way... I'm glad he's gone and all but it seems that ultimately it won't change anything... The new divine leader just has a less fancy name.
  17. Bad jokes are underrated so I fully support that.

    The beginning of hovercraft motorcycles?

    I demand this for Christmas.
  19. I feel that sales like this are quite frequent... Is it just me?

    Xbox at 10: A Decade of Gaming

    I had mine connected to the TV until a few months ago. I also have a 360 but not all of the old games are compatible with it.

    Halo: Anniversary Campaign Trailer

    It's really been that long, has it? It feels like Halo CE was released only a few years ago...

    Addressing the Generals 2 Rumours

    Sure they do. ME, Dragon Age and SW:TOR are all RPGs, although it is true that action elements have been introduced. Anyway, I wholeheartedly agree that this rumor was obviously false, but did anyone seriously believe it? I don't speak German so I haven't checked their site but on the official forums no one really took it seriously...

    Ahoy!

    Ahoy! I am klandri. I'm a relatively new member to the CnC community, I posted my first thread (in the official forums) after the Twilight fiasco, but I became really active (coincidentally) a few days before the new forums arrived. If any of you guys lurk the official forums, then I am the very same klandri. So my first game was Tiberian Sun. I have acquired all the games since then, and my favorite one has to be Tiberium Wars, although Tib Sun and Generals are contenders as well. I haven't done anything, really, in the community except when I beta tested CnC The Forgotten as I don't have any modding skills. So.. Hi?
