What game is this? Supreme Commander? It's called Defcon. It's a game about nuclear war. You get to choose which country/continent/area you want to build in and then nuke everyone else into the stone age while hopefully protecting your own people.

Custom titles were given out as prizes for the winners of the "choose our new emoticons" contest awhile back.

I like to go Czar hunting with Heavy Artillery. Popping Czars from across the map is great fun and pretty easy too. czars are the flying ones...I think what happened was that my heavy arties got it down and the UEF just polished it off. Yeah, I know what Czars are. They are the giant donut shaped flyer experimental for Aeon. A single heavy artillery shot will take one down. I don't think you can aim directly at it with the artillery, but if you aim nearby and the artillery misses in the right direction it will nail the Czar.

Booyah! I won! Massive come from behind victory!

I picked up a copy of Defcon today. If I can't run around an apocalyptic waste land in STALKER at least I can create one in Defcon.

That's not a game bok! And where are your tactical missile launchers Calax? Cybran rapid fire TML's eat GC's for lunch.

I must be in the minority cause I don't particularly like the new picture. Something about it just doesn't seem to click in my mind.

Yeah, that was my reaction too. that was pretty funny! Wait, I just laughed at one of Hades jokes. I feel so dirty now.

You actually said that you don't mind a few bugs in your games and still got the QA job?

Yeah, but you have a decent CRT. Mine is an el-cheapo special and I swear all the empty space inside was filled with lead shot because it's the heaviest CRT I've ever had the unfortunate pleasure of having to move.

For extra sneakiness, you target the Red player with your nukes. The little red dot is even harder to find when everything around it is red also.

I wouldn't mind having one of those. *kicks CRT hoping it fails, but the CRT stubbornly lives on.*

If only I hadn't chosen the Ducks to win! Give it another game or two and my opinion should change.

I have Selanne in my pool so I don't hate him as much as you guys.

What a tease. You can't just leave us hanging like that!

You play it like C&C3 apparently.

No. You need the 64 bit version of Vista in order to see all 4GB.

That's usually only fun for people who are good at it. For schmoes like me, it's embarrassing. You just need to find a group of people that you know are worse than you are. I get my ass handed to me by about 50% of the remaining SC players on SC but I can beat all of my friends 9 times out of 10. I keep trying to tell them that I'm really not that good and they just suck horribly, but when they team up on me and still get beat down (Hello? Next time you want to team up against someone it might be best to use Ally chat to avoid telling the person about it...) they tend not to believe me. Heck they still didn't believe me when I lost horrible in the second round of a tournament. If the stupid random race thing hadn't given me Terran I wouldn't have lost so badly.

I agree. Looking at most of the units they all seem to have a kind of "plastic" feel to them that I can only hope they get rid of. I hated the cartoonish art in WC3 and I can sorta see some of that influence seeping into Starcraft. The siege tank design really needs some work.

I've had the problem that the OP is talking about happen to me before. IIRC everything still worked despite the screen being all black so you could just back up and zone out of the hawk. The problem seemed to go away for me when transitioning between areas or reloading an area.

One hell of a shot. It looked like a pretty horrible shot to me. Not that I'm complaining, but Miller totally should have had that one. I suppose it's just the universe's way of balancing out the stick save he made on Spezza that he had no business stopping.

Booyah! And Ottawa is into the finals! Alfie scores the game winner in OT on a 1-on-3.

The plant was tricky but there was a wider hitbox than that of Nightmare. If you failed to hit that precise spot you'd spend your missiles quickly without hitting anything. He also did moderate damage. In hindsight though, that's pretty much how I nailed the second form of the Security Bot - by finding a flaw in the hit detection and scoring hits against it by pointing at a very specific set of pixels. The annoying part about the plant were the spores. They repeatedly knocked me off the top pillar and into the water. I thought Nightmare had a relatively large hitbox in his final form. The second part where was the most difficult. Dodging and shooting in slow mo. Almost as annoying as trying to run in water. I seem to recall that the second security bot form being quite easy due to it not being able to reach the end of the room. IIRC you could hang out on the far left at the edge of the grip bar and he can't hit you there.

I discovered that the cordless electric mower doesn't quite have enough power to cut our entire lawn. One more pass would have been enough, but no, it just had to die on me. Stupid thing. *kicks the lawnmower* On the bright side it is several orders of magnitude quieter. My MP3 player at 50% volume completely drowns out the mower noise while with the old gas mower I could barely hear my music with the player at 100% volume.
