Very interesting read, not really sure whether I agree with some of the points, but it was interesting nonetheless.

lol, never realized you could glitch so many things in dune 2, I guess while growing up i just played it like it was supposed to be played. I loved it though, even though it was freaking hard towards the last missions.

nice read, always great with some nostalgia while still admitting while things are probably better now ^^

You didn't even read it did you?


He compared Computer games to chess which is illogical a thing to do .... Kasporov maybe should be playing starcraft instead because than he will realised what is TRUE strategy than.


A simple "yes I didn't read it" would have sufficed.

@op: Very nice read.

Very interesting read. I agree with yours points, especially with the one that all the games rock and that SC2 is deceptive in its difficulty.

holy wow, that was epic. I read the whole thing, and I've never even heard of Dune II before.

Incredible read. Kinda touching, in a way. I liked the way you used parallel paragraph construction to emphasize your point.

That was a great read. As a lot of others have already posted in this thread, I have never played Dune before (although I did play C&C) and it was really cool to read about how you figured out the glitches in that game. Cool. Cool cool cool.

This was a very awkward read to me. I tried chess for a while when I was around your age and even though I was/am horrible, I never got the same thoughts you had about it. The complexity of it and de reasons why I lost where somehow always obvious. It's also the reason I never did a lot of chess I suppose.

Great read man! You really took me back to the good old days with Dune 2 For me, however, Warcraft 2 was the gateway drug - I think all of my favorite gaming memories are from that time. And when SC1 came out, I remember thinking 'Ha! 12 units in one group, ezpz... Pros do it with 9 unit groups'

A very long and entertaining text, with a great point at the end ! 10/10
