I think as we're all dressed up now it would be a shame not to give it a go.

I take it Mai you've volunteered to go first?



(um, Jade - did you like the Scooby snacks video i posted, and the jackass reference was because there are several people here preparing to run headlong at a brick wall just to see what happens if thats not jackass what is?)

Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

I've got a helmet.......

also, I'm wearing protective gear, I could be used as a battering ram to get through the wall......

Ah, the video, I'd never heard that before, was interesting. And on the Jackass thing... I caught the meaning... I was just being a Jackass.

It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

I played some Warcraft and Command and Conquer back in the day but I'm more of a turn based kind of guy.

RTS = Real Time Strategy.
Sorry, I don't do them very often, I can't out click the computer unless I turn the speeds way down, but they are fun sometimes in LAN.

Real Time Strategy.

Real time means that the game state updates continuously. Strategy means that the game involves directing military units in battle.

Real-Time-Strategy game. Age of Empires, Empire Earth, Warhammer: Dawn of War, Rise of Nations and many others.

Games where you control a civilisation, it's economy and military against others. Like AoE 3 set in colonial America where you construct a colony and fight other nations for control.

Personally I just killed the French and the Spanish. Stupid little fat idiot Napolean attacked me. My Red Coats destroying his entire colony probably persuaded him that that was a bad idea.

DaveShayne:
Civilisation and so on? Actually that works sort of works I've had an idea for a game I was going to try and write, nothing special graphically just a 2D Isometric projection, but I wanted to know if anyone plays those sorts of games or similar to get opinions as to whether it would work.
