Worm has been screaming at me all day now that this StarCraft shit is a bunch of bullshit, and to a larger extent, this RTS shit is a bunch of bullshit, because nobody loves playing RTSes, except me, and that everyone would be a lot happier playing some other kind of game, if only I would stop forcing people to play RTS games.

So, I'm a big enough man to accept this if it's true. Is it true? Would you all rather play a non-RTS game?

I would play pretty much any game, provided it's something I actually own. Which Starcraft is not.

Yeah, we successfully missed it when it was out. I don't know how to gather resources in the game, that's how far out I am.

Really, the only two votes that count at this point are Jonsey and CGG.

One of them chose "okay for now" and one of them chose "we just do it cuz pinback likes it".

This makes me think Worm is right, and we should abandon this project.

(After tomorrow night, of course.)

What? What the hell is this? I am up for playing RTS games until we have played them ALL. And then it will be time for, fuck, I don't know, Sega Columns or something.

I want to know how a website that spawned a game where you have to type "pump it up" to go further managed to afterbirth out this filth, this defeatist filth.

We're going to:

1) GET RESOURCES
2) BUILD SHIT
3) WAGE BATTLE TROOPS

And you know, if someone asked him nicely, I bet Worm would be more than willing to play with us. Especially since we'll be able to do teams tomorrow. Fair teams. Teams that are fair except for the person who gets stuck with me. Now if you don't mind, I'm trying to furiously click on my banister.

If we're focusing on RTS games, I would be totally up for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 or Age of Empires II.

Unfortunately the multiplayer components of the original C&C games no longer work, otherwise we could get some old-school Red Alert up in here.
