Helms deep. Snipers. ALL OF THOSE EPIC RPGS. And I really liked war of the lost kingdoms. Feels so nostalgic. But I think evos, micro tourney and Sunkens are still popular.
Elegance, in all things.

I like to play turret def when I tidy my apartment. Build stuffs and upgrade. Tidy for 45 seconds. Repeat.
I am certainly not very efficient, but I don't feel like working at all. Actually, watching AI-controlled stuffs being killed by other AI-controlled stuffs is super boring, so it's like Turret Def makes tidying not look as a chore, and tidying makes Turret Def less boring :D

are the }v{ajin_Piccolo maps (Freiza's Fury and the like) still in circulation on b.net? i used to play those dbz maps daily... they were hours long and fun as hell if everyone stayed... although plagued with immortality bugs.

(Triple Edit: not sure if the clan's name was }v{ajin, )v(ajin or ]v[ajin but ya you get the drift.)

I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Helms deep was generally based on one team defending and the other attacking. But you could also win by killing the orc commander and some counter attacks were done to kill specific hero units like the defiler hero. I think the game was supposed to end with everyone on the defending side transferring to the cave place and waiting for the timer. The offensive side would try to destroy the defences fast enough that they could mount a force last enough to destroy the units in the cave.

I only played it a few times, but I think it'd be nice to give the defending team some incentive to be offensive.

I used to love things like macro/micro, but also played a lot of team melee so it was just an easier version of that really. also did anyone used to bound? I remember beating Gat bound one time and it was my greatest achievment ever lols, most of my friends back then were insanely good at them.

I love Poker Defense on KR. Just do not speak so they understand that you are foreign, then you tend to get kicked.
