This was a very good read, you have the heart of a storyteller.
And I understand exactly what you are talking about with Dune, Dune was awsome :-)
I love Teamliquid and all the small gems that you can be lucky enough to finde around the website.

Well worth the time it took to read this. Nostalgia kicked in so many times and the summation was perfect. I wish more people would think about this sort of thing before they trash something that someone else enjoys. Unfortunately there will always be those people with a lack of self-worth that feel the only way they can enjoy their thing is if they compare it to other things and then insult those other things.

Thank you for the smile and the words 5/5

Funny that I started reading Dune last night! I read up until the first Dune stuff comes in, are there any spoilers in this? I really want to read the rest.


The RTS Dune bases it's setting and involved parties/ buildings etc off of the book series, but it's hardly a narrative game. You won't get spoiled ^^
I think esports is pretty nice.

I used to play the original Warcraft like you did that Zerg mission in Brood War. I didn't know anything about economy and would move around my army painstakingly slow, being tactful yet tedious. Especially the missions you didn't have a base or mining I would try to figure out the perfect configuration of footmen, knights, and archers to kill the enemies before they did any real damage.

I also didn't know anything about economy in Brood War. I didn't ever think to build more than one of each production facility.

This is one of the best posts I have ever read on TL.
I think it should go in the TL Hall of Fame. (We should probably make one first though.)
Anyway, 10/10, awesome read.
Thanks so much.

That was a surprisingly good read. GJ OP, 4/5.

And yes I share your sentiment, I used to play rts as a kid too and abuse the hell out of any and all glitches I could find. Ahh those were the days.
Probes are sooo OP

Just because you have to worry about less stuff now doesn't make the game good.... It's not a bad game don't get me wrong, but it isn't any fun now that I don't have a thousand extra things to do. But hey! That's just me.
You better run Charles....
