DATA EXPUNGED

My earliest gaming memories, unlike most kids of the late 90s to early 2000s, weren't all about Pokemon or TLoZ. I spent most of my days playing games like Dune 2000, Command and Conquer, Masters of Orion, StarWars Empire at War and a myriad of other RTS / 4X titles (most of them being made by the glorious Westwood Studios). I've played a-lot of more modern titles too such as Starcraft II, Supreme Commander, Sins of a Solar Empire, all the Age of Empires games, and all the Total War games. Anyway, what are YOUR favourite RTS / 4X games? My favourites are C&C RA II, Sins of a Galactic Empire (a Star-wars mod of Sins of a Solar Empire) and Empire: Total War. Edit: Did I just mention Supreme Commander 2? Better fix that before I remember go into conniptions again *shudders*

Two words... Hive Mind. "We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

I am the Household scapegoat. I get paid below minimum wage, no medical, or even dental, and i wont be able to retire until there's nothing left that can go wrong.

When I am waiting, thinking, or have nothing better to do, I tend to pace back and forth with my hands behind my back.

My parents were the ones who brought me into existence, fed me, clothed me, kept a roof over my head, and for free. They have bought me things as well. They have done more for me than all of my friends combined. So I'd have to say yes.

I was born on October 29th at around 3:00 am, just before halloween. However, all this information is on my profile. As far as I am aware, no one shares this birthday with me.

Is Mayonnaise an Instrument? .... Wait, wrong thread.

As you may have already gathered from my previous post, I have the pleasure of having Arachnophobia. However, the fear is not considered entirely irrational, as some degree of Arachnophobia is in all humans as a survival instinct. This is for the simple reason that they are generally poisonous. However, an Irrational fear that I have is Enochlophobia (Fear of crowds).

If I was ever caught talking to inanimate objects, my friends would have me diagnosed with Acute Clinical Insanity.

The urge is too strong. I can't resist the temptation.

Everyone who makes fun of D&D and other such things... They have no idea what cool is.

I would buy a secret underground bunker, complete with a mushroom plantation (for low light growing) and solar panels. Then I would buy lots of guns and ammo, a couple tons of rations, a giant rain gathering resevour, and seal myself inside the bunker to live out the rest of my days, finally safe from the aliens.

I think I have made my point...

How about a list of all the parks I've made in Roller Coaster Tycoon?

“The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.” James Branch Cabell I'll leave you with that...

Rant mode Engaged Holy sweet sassy molassy, someone who hates the big bang theory as well!? I find that it portrays nerds as being "cool" or something, and half the jokes are not "obscure, nerd exclusive, in jokes" and anyone who uses more than 4 brain cells to figure them out instantly entitles themselves to the title of "nerd." I had to spend all of my Elementary and high school days being ridiculed, use reverse polish notation calculators, and learn to speak Klingon AND Vulcan fluently, and get 97.6% in my Calculus class to earn my status as a "Nerd." Yet these people think they earned the right because of some weak star-trek joke than anyone could get...? Its all jokes about the most obvious of nerd things, thus anyone can understand them. I bet that 90% of the people who watch The Big Bang Theory don't even know the difference between a "trekkie" and a "trekker." Rant mode Disengaged

DWARF FORTRESS!!!!!!!!! PRAISE THE ALMIGHTY TOADY!!1!!!~!11!!!!!!! Anyway, glad I got that off my chest. Its the only game I have played longer than 24 hours on in one sitting.

I am to sum up your post in 10 glorious seconds

*beep beep* Merry-go-round 1 has broken down

Well, lets see here I remember playing Command & Conquer: Red Alert Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 and 2 (got them from a cereal box way back when) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE7C72B243D5320F4 A slew of NES, SNES, and N64 titles. (my fav being 007, goldeneye)

The only thing I can honestly say that sucks about my current college experience is the fact that there is a mandatory "Liberal Studies Elective" which is total load of bollocks. Why would I ever need to consider wicker weaving when stabilizing a nuclear power plant?

I like where i live (Obninsk, Russia) because the rent is cheap, and the food is cheap and its only below freezing 6 months of the year.

Anyway, on a more serious note, I already play a multitude of instruments such as Piano, the strings (Violin, Viola, Cello, and Bass), Harpsichord, Accordion (Russian Chromatic, and keyboard), the Organ, and the Ocarina. I wouldn't mind learning bagpipes or the Sousaphone.

I might get arrested if I told you what I sacrificed.
