[blog] Hack's Huge PC Backlog or: when did I add that to my collection?!?

My plan today was to finish off the Infestation in SurrounDead and drive home... I then was going to try and finish off Amnesia: Rebirth.
A few hours later (might be 10 lol) I had finally finished... playing SurrounDead! I ended up doing another Infestation and finished off a few more Points of Interest including killing the Bosses and finding the main loot crate.

My backlog is taking a huge hit but I'm enjoying SurrounDead that much. After finishing all the Points of Interest (I have some really hard ones left) I might try to actually build a house. Right now I'm in a bunker. Anyhoo, this is still being worked on (it's still Early Access) but it has more than enough content to make it well worth playing. What I hope the dev adds is zombies attacking your base... right now they don't. If he does add it though, I hope it can be toggled on and off. It probably will be as the game settings are very customisable.

Anyhoo (again), due to work, I might not be able to play for the next few days.

Gone for a week ao finished... no games lol

Busy at work though I can play a lot tomorrow. Also was sick as a dog but now am good to go. What I did play lots of was SurrounDead. That is slowly climbing on my favourite games list. I did a few more Points of Interest including what turned out to be a nightmare against heavily armed troops. I did a runner and then picked them off in a forest!

I've also given up trying to make my base neat and have now added 2 huge containers and have stuck everything in there. My Van and my backpack though are sorted out well. ENough space to carry a lot of stuff and I have the essentials... except me bing a butthead took my hunting rifle (I have legendary weapons but like that this load without a magazine) but didn't take any ammo with me... d'oh.

I find the Lab and this needs keycards. I managed to clean most of it out but might need to consult a walkthrough as a lot of it is locked up and I can't figure out why. Good thing is... I have so many high level keycards (due to boss farming) so I can try again later. After the Lab I might take a break and try to finish Amnesia: Rebirth. My poor backlog has taken a hit but SurrounDead is just that good. I might have mentioned this before, but when I'm not playing I am watching others play on Youtube, except this is getting my angry as I am noticing all the small error first time players are making and am yelling at the screen lol... I've played way too much!

Another SurrounDead update. You can now hook one vehicle to another (I think) and basically make a convoy.,, in other words, a travelling base to store loot!

Anyhoo, I'm about to do something dumb... start a new game on hard difficulty with permadeath and try to survive as many days as possible. I should make nights shorter as this involves wandering in the dark until you put down a sleeping bad anywhere and night ends. I will also not use backpacks in backpacks so no hoarding either. Also no using my usual huge bunker as a base... I will build my own house.

Anyhoo again... this is not going to end well at all lol

With my previous save, I will still play it sometimes. My goal of Amnesia: Rebirth will also fail today... felt like crap so decided not to get out of bed today. Day off mainly wasted but this has done me the world of good!

EDIT: SurrounDead went as well as expected... I died 3 times within minutes lol Zombies are rwice as strong and fast, have twice as much health and the two times as many. Equiptment (and basic stuff like food) is extremely rare. Nightmare mode is a nightmare!

I want to find the perfect setting for me.

I'm thinking of changinf the loot to get more stuff (though legendaries will be rare as will keycards). Zombies will do a lot of damage but will be very slow (George A Romero Zombies), They will also have little health. I am bumoing up their multiplier to X5 so they will still be a major threat. In other words... I really should play a game that can actually be finished...

EDIT 2:
Good Lord there are a lot of zombies... they are slow, they die in two hit... the twist is... so do I... I have bumped up their damage. Also special zombies are more rare. Goal is to survive one week.

Ummm... can't survive more than a few minutes.

Time for Amnesia: Rebirth!

EDIT 3: I remembered why I stopped playing... the bloody maze. I still can't bloody do it so I'm just giving up. If I do finish the game off. more likely than not it's getting a Red Banner of Sucktitude. There is only one thing that can save this game... if every bloody character ends up dead at the end. I don't know if this game has different endings (and at this stage I don't care) but if it does, I want the bloody bad ending.

EDIT 4: Reading about the maze, people have a strategy... run and hope you get lucky... in other words, guesswork... how is this considered good gameplay?!?

EDIT 5: I'm out of the damn maze... I think!

EDIT 6: I ragequit again due to the game being awful. I need to sneak through a place with monsters and the stupid main character is too busy freaking out. Also in what might be the dumbest game mechanic ever, she is pregnant, to make her fear go down she needs to stop and check on the baby.. I finally get to the next room (after giving up and running) and there is a note to read (game is full of them... you need to read them as there is no voice acting for these because of course there isn't) and I get caught while reading it.

I can take drugs to calm down but These are bad for the baby so I won't take them. If it pisses me off enough though, screw the baby lol... anyhoo, this one is on me... I should have blocked the door lol... game is still awful though.

Anyhoo, this note is voice acted (awfully) and now she freaked out when reading it. Why?!?

FINAL EDIT: I'm on chapter 19 of 26 and according to ChatGPT have around 31 percent left... that's too much. I want this aginy to end lol
Why I'm continuing to play, I don't know but I do want to finish this.

OK FINAL EDIT: so... I might be using the Fear mechanic wrong... Game is still not good but a lot of the bad stuff might actually be on me... Is this a case of me playing a game wrong?!? Time will tell.

Did I get the fear mechanic wrong in Amnesia: Rebirth?!? Who knows as I've been playing SurrounDead.

I did the Lab yesterday (back to my old save) and figured out I had to start a generatot. I was looking for a Legendary Backpack which I didn't find. Someone thinks they might have removed this from the game.

Anyhoo, since I'm using backpacks in backpacks, the game will crash if you move something into a wrong backpack... too hard to explain (my brain isn't working right now). I didn't have autosave on (which I learned today is a thing) but luckily had quicksaved (just in case). I had to reload inside the Lab in a small room... all zombies including bosses had respawn but so did the loot. Problem is that as soon as I left the room, I was dead. I then learned you had hack zombies through doors... yes, it's cheap but I was screwed otherwise. By the end everyone dead again and still no backpack.

I was about to leave the Lab and real life cause so I paused the game. I go back in and I went to press F to open something... I pressed G... G for bloody Grenade... I died... lucky this wasn't a permadeath game. Also I save just after looting the lab. I then had to fight my way out again and once again all loot was back. I ended up leaving with more guns that I could carry... I love loot so took it all anyway lol.

Today I spent nearly an hour fixing my backpacks (though loot in my base is a mess) and... crashed the game again, losing the hour... d'oh I'm now perfectly set to finish off the rest of the Points of Interest.

Nearly a week without proper gaming due to work being really busy and being under the weather. I was going to play SurrounDead today but I might be at the stage to give it a break. I have now decided to try and finish Amnesia: Rebirth but it's been so long since I played it I don't have a clue what to do and can't remember a lot of the story (not that I really care).

EDIT: Everytime Rebirth seems like it might be getting good it remembers that it is awful. After this I was going to play the DLC for the first game, Amnesia: The Bunker and probably SOMA but I don't think I will bother for a while. You know a game is awful when it actually makes you not want to game.

One chapter left of this damn game... I regret every second I have put into this game.

I had just gotten stuck looking for a damn elevator as I had a damn locked door. Game has gotten me so annoyed that I didn't realise I had locked it... FFS.

EDIT: Just finished it and went back to see the seond ending and typically I can't do it as I didn't pick up something before hand meaning I need to reload an even earlier save.

No Red Banner but a pair of badges... Kinda Shit and Bloody Disappointing.


ANOTHER AMNESIA GAME...
* The third Amnesia game is more like part one. It's just a suckier version of it.
* It brings back the survival horror elements, interactivity, inventory and the trying not to go mad mechanic.

...THAT IS EASILY THE WORST OF THE THREE...
* The game looked look with some nice locations. The voice acting was hit and miss and the music not memorable at all.
* The above didn't really matter as I was not a fan of the story (though by the end things sort of made sense) and I disliked all the characters.
* What didn't help was the game being bad.

...AND JUST A BAD GAME IN GENERAL DUE TO BAD GAME DESIGN...
* The game has a Fear mechanic. The character gets scared and you need to control this. Problem is that she gets scared all the time and controlling this seems to do bugger all. I thought I was messing this up but you could only control your fear when the game wanted. This was getting in the way of gameplay.
* Some areas are way too dark with the player having to guess their way through. When monsters are involved this is bad. Throw in a bloody maze and this is really bad. Mix this in with the Fear Mechanic and this is game ruiningly bad.
* A lot of the puzzles do not make sense with the player having to guess their way around. The first game had these types of puzzles but they make sense.

... THAT IS LUCKY IS NOT RED BANNERED
* I am so tempted due to the maze level (and the funny thing is, this level took a few minutes to finish yet I took a one week break to not do it).
* There are a few OK parts including a few chase sequeneces and the puzzles that did make sense were good. The ending(s) were also OK.

Do I recommend the game? No, not at all. The only reason I can see someone play it is due to it being part of a series but be prepared for a lot of awfulness. Maybe play it on the story mode.

I'm trying to finish off SurrounDead. I think I have one Point of Interest to finish off though I will check the internet just in case. I think this might be the hard one... the Oil Rig. I am running low on ammo and am too lazy to drive back home (in my caravan of trucks lol) or find a shop to but ammo so I will build a base near the Oil Rig (I think I need to swin there). I can scrap all the ammo I don't use and then craft ammo I do use. Right now I use a Legendary rifle with 7.62mm bullets, a grenade launcher (which I can't fire anywhere close to me so this might be an issue in the Oil Rig) and a Legendary Glock (pistol) that uses 9mm bullets. Luckily 7.62 and 9mm are common. I do have my Hunting rifle as well.

I also have 3 achievements leftr and these will be a grind... Kill 50 and then 200 animals (I've been slaughtering deer recently... my bad!) and kill 5000 zombies. This needs to be done on one character. I am at nearly at 3.5K but too make things more easily I have set the zombie spawn multiplier to 10x. I get more kills but I am also in a lot more danger... actually not really... I'm at the stage that I enter a room and everything dies! I am now confident that I can take on bosses head on and survive. What I've been doing is making noise makers (like firecrackers) and all zombies in an area are attracted to the noise... I stand back, launch a grenade and get a whole lot of kills... a lot of these clear a good chink of the area I'm in.

After this, I'm going to take a SurrounDead break for a while while the dev adds more stuff down the line. Next time it will be a Permadeath game on probably the second hardest difficulty. Nightmare difficulty is too hard to get a good start... enemies have a 2x spawn, are twice as fast, do twice as much damage, have twice the health... and resources are scarse. I did watch someone doing this and it is possbile but it's slow going. You fish and hunt and sell the resources to be able to but the stuff you need. I'm mentioned this before but I love that you can customise the game as you want. Set spawn rates, how strong the AI enemies are, set how much loot drops etc...

Hardly any gaming again due to work... might be like this for the next month.

I have started playing one of my favourite RTS games... Total Annihilation as I have the Commander pack from GOG. I remember buying this nearly 30 years ago (geez I feel old) with all expansions and the strategy book... which I still have! I could run it in 4k as ith was messed up in widescreen though the units were too small anyway. Running at a lower resolution isn't a problem and the game plays great. I did add a modernization patch to it (thinking it would fix the resolution) but I'm sure the game should run well without it.

I've finish the single player campaigns before and I'm sure I finished the Core Contingency expansion but I can't remember if I ever finished Battle Tactics. I used to love Skirmish mode on huge Metal maps with 9 other AI opponents.

Anyhoo, played the first 5 or so ARM missions and it's as good as I remember.

I'm also getting Humble Choice this month to pick up WWE2K25. I do already some of the games though (Warhammer Speed Freeks and Destiny 2). I was actually not going to get the choice as this is the standard edition so I though I'd miss a lot of wrestlers but the base roster is huge (300 wrestlers!). What is going to suck though is having to unlock everything as I usually get the deluxe edition with the unlock. I also wish you could pick which Wrestler from the DLC you wanted. Abyss and Great Khali are in DLC with Shaq and other NBA guys (who I could'nt give a toss about). I also don't how much is locked behind the paywall that is MyFaction. The Island (multiplay mode) also seems like paywall hell. I do love making wrestlers though so I will spend hours on that!

EDIT:Nevermind about The Island... not available on PC as we get the last gen version. Still getting it as for 13 euros, this is a bargain. I then really should pick up the season pass as I'm still getting it dirt cheap... I will see about the season pass though.

EDIT 2: Season Pass will get me 5 DLC (25 or so wrestler and I do want some) and will unlock everything. There is a more expensive Pass that also give a boost to your MyRise wrestler... I've always had thing so never had to worry about difficulty so I could enjoy the story (though so matches are still hard). Not paying an extra 20 euros for just a boost and VC (the games currency) I'll never use.

I can't remember Total Annihilation being so hard... I can't beat mission 7. Twice I was going well and twice my Commander got destroyed meaning an automatic loss. Probably should have saved. The AI is just attacking non-stop from the start so the player has no time to react.. and this is just mission 7. I've wasted close to an hour on this.

Ummm... after the writing the above I just realised I'm an idiot who does not follow orders... the objective is to defend a Moho mine... basically a wave defence mission and there's Mr Clevel going on the offensive instead... whoops!

EDIT: I still can't bloody do this mission. I'm about to ruin another one of my favourite games by replaying it. I'm should retire this before I get too pissed off.

EDIT 2:And in other exciting news... did the mission... started to spam submarines and went on the offensive to destroy a lot of battleships that were going to mess me up. I also spammed a whole lot of rocket bits to deal with air attacks.

Mission ended up being easy... I was just being careless with my Commander. I think I've gotten worse at gaming as I'm trying to do things too quickly... playing the game on 10x speed didn't help... it does make the game more exciting though!

Time to stop complaining and start proper gaming. I used to be more than decent in this game. Time to recapture that.

I ended up getting Humble choice but I'm going to hold out on the DLC for WWE2k25. Having guys like Abyss and New Jack would be cool but 40.00 euros for 25 wrestlers isn't really worth it... especially when the roster is already at 300 (I think). I will need to unlock everything without the DLC but that is fine. Funny thing is, I have stuff in WWE2k19 and WWE2k23 to finish off lol

I wrote nearly three weeks ago that I'm not gaming alot due to work and being under the weather... I still feel like crap... Watch this space though as something might happen with my backlog...

Anyhoo, I'm still playing Total Annihilation and am back into the groove so even the tougher mission are being passed without too much trouble...

I also just installed WWE2k25 and screw up within seconds by acciedenly quitting the tutorial video with Paul Heyman... I had to watch it on Youtube. I'm doing the tutorials at the moment as I need the VC to unlock stuff... I might be wrong with my numbers but I think I have over 200 wrestlers to unlock. What I don't like is that the DLC wrestlers show up in the game as DLC but you can't access them. I'n not sure if this was always a thing as I had the WWE2k19 Deluxe edition (which was an absulte steal... Black Friday and a 2K publisher plus I think a voucher maybe) and I bought the WWE2k23 Season Pass (got the game in Humble Choise and they had a coupon for the Season Pass). I should be able to unlock most stuff as I willl play the Showcase mode and the story mode. I'll get the DLC if it is on sale.

Also rather tragically, The Miz in only rated as an 81... that is all kinds of sad and bloody disrespectful.

I played a bit of the WWE2k25 tutorial and one of the objectives cause me to ragequit but going back into the game it worked... I now hate Johhny Gargano! I've also started playing MyFaction (basically EAFC's ultimate team). I've somehow spent thousands of euros?!? Just kidding, I needed to start to to be able to redeem locker codes. One locker code gave 12500 VC which can unlock 12 wrestlers. I'm not used to having so much stuff locked away.

You can also get packs with wresting personas... I got a masked Dominic Mysterio which is cool. Funny thing is... I hate his father... hate Rey Mysterio with a vengeance. When his some first started I was ready to hate. Dominic makes for a perfect heel... he gets heat from the crowd. There is also a list of the top 30 wrestlers under 30... he's no.1 on that and I agree... Still can't stand his father though yet I will probably make them a masked tag team for a bit...

Also, the best way to get VC is to play The Island (multiplayer mode)... nice, especially when it's not bloody available on PC as we get the last gen version. PC players are getting shafted. I have a high end PC, I should have a choice to play the next gen version.

I kind of hate 2K due to this, their MyFaction monetization and the fast that wrestlers are locked in that mode (Still pissed Miz '10 was locked in MyFaction) but the bastards have made the gameplay too good not to be played. And no... I ain't spending a cent on MyFaction.

EDIT: Tutorial Done. Had my first match on normal, The Miz versus Gargano and it was basically a squash. I decided to bump it up to Legendary and took Liv Morgan against Valhalla (a 91 rated versus a 63 rated) and even with interference by Becky Lynch (though she didn't really do anything, I easily won. I liked the finish... a reversal of a pin to a winning pin of my own. I got close to 500 VC for this match so I think the compromise might be to play on Hard and try to get good matches.

EDIT 2: They improve the gameplay in the WWE games but never improve the wrestler creator. A lot of people spend more time on this that the game itself. I've uploaded custom images and I can't use them. I'll see if I can fix it. Also some parts are also need to be unlocked. I think this will be my last WWE game for a while until they fix stuff... and give me my bloody next gen version without bloody missing features!

EDIT 3: I figured out the edited but I'm still extremely pissed off at the game. I lasted a grand total of 3 MyFaction matches before ragequitting and giving up. 2K does not like their players and this gamemode shows it. The game has two pin escape methods. One that you need to stop inside a moving bar at the right time and the rapid button mash method. I liked the moving bar from 2K19 except now the bar moves so I changed to rapid buttons. In MyFaction, they've disabled the button mash method which most people use. I nearly lost my first match due to not realising they changed my controls.

I easily win match 2 and I get to match 3... a triple threat using females. I'm doing something called a World Tour and I'm in Orlando. For these series of matches you can't use your good cards. Let's just say my female wrestler who has better stats than the other two was not able to hit a single move due to being so bloody slow and useless. I don't care that you use this gamemode to unlock stuff... shit will stay unlocked... I'm going nowhere near the DLC. 2K don't need my money. I'm glad I got this from Humble Choice though I'm regretting that as well as I already had some of the games and another one Eastern Exorcist is free on Epic next need. I'm sure I complained last time about MyFaction locking away wrestlers but the stupid career mode in 2K23 was so good it carried the entire game.

EDIT 4: FFS... I took a shittier wrestler who was faster, had a five star match, was dominating but could not get the win as they AI was suddenly getting superhuman speed to break pinfalls. I then get into a submission move, they changed the setting for this (because of course they bloody did) and I lost. I ended up ragequitting.

EDIT 5:Finally did the women's match using my best female. She's slow but I got lucky, hit a finisher while wrestler 3 make an ass of themselves by doing pushups on the outside while I made the pinfall. Next two matches were tag matches, I lost a few times as I wanted to do match action. There are things that are done in a matchg for extra MtFaction points... one is to do 2 taunts, a signature, a finisher and the others vary on the style of wrestler. I know these maximize points but by the end I was just winning. I don't know whose bright idea it was to do the first section of the World Tour and force the player to use their worst cards. I had to resort to using Otis for God's sake... bloody OTIS!!!

Anyhoo, now the good part... these tag matches were actually fun if you took away the shitty wrestlers used and the fact that the shitty kickout mechanic is used. Also take out not having to do special objective and these should be a lot of fun in the single player modes. I should just a bit of the MyFaction stuff but concentrate more of either the Showcase mode or the Story mode. Actually, I should just give this up and hope the season pass is on sale during Black Friday to get rid of the grind... though the MyFaction stuff would stilll be llocked... 2K is actually tempting me to pay to not grind... They are tempting me but the stupidity of some of the MyFaction decisions means their temptation will fail.

Also... around 4 or 5 days left... Watch this space!!!

MyFaction on WWE2K25 has weekly towers... when you are able to use your best cards, these are actually fun. I started on World Tour and I was not allowed to use my best cards so got extremely frustrated but as soon as I was allowed to use them, I had fun.

Also, you can't unlock characters with VC (I think?!?) I'm confused... I think you can buy the non-MyFaction characters with credits earned while playing. The game has 3 currencies (if not more). MyFaction isn't the biggest scam in this game... having to unlock everyone is... lol I might find an online unlock guide so I don't waste credits for nothing.

EDIT: Looks like this in the last WWE game I buy. You can't earn VC while playing on PC... the character (persona) cards are expensive to buy. I'm never going to use a lot of them (I have an Elite Cody Rhodes which is a Mattel action figure) but the fact that these are paywalled.

As most Steam Reviews write, gameplay itself is really good but the PC version is missing stuff.... Community Creations are now also not cross platform due to PC's inferior version.

I finished the ARM campaign on Total Annihilation and am on mission 17 on the CORE campaign and this is where I might call it a day as this is one of those large water maps. You start on a small island while the AI has 4 or 5 or them. They also have a whole lot of battleships which bombard your base from two screens away so by the time you build anything it is destroyed. The problem is that 99% of CORE units suck.

I really should have stopped on Mission 16 as this one was an RNG crapfest. The planet you are on has meteor showers, if they happen to hit the enemy, they think it is the player and then sent a whole lot of gunships... within a minute or two of the mission starting so you automitically lose.

I just tried again and the same thing happened... I give up. I know this mission is supposed to be very hard but this is a joke.

EDIT: You know what the enemy wasn't expecting on a huge naval base? For me to not build a shipyard and use aircraft instead. I started capturing a missile ship that attacked straight away and use it to mess uo the enemies ships. I then built enough defences and would send gunships to take out ships and then would repair them. Also not playing on 10 speed helped lol...

Also... still waiting to Watch this Space... we might be watching a long time... d'oh

The CORE missions of Total Annihilation are done and I decided to play the expansion Battle Tactics and am doing the Very Short Missions and... this expansion is not good.
I think I added a patch for modern systems to the game... I don't know if it did anything to the AI but I am on the 4th mission and this is impossible. I have a damaged vehicle plant and some rocket launcher units plus a few tanks and need to protect it. With 30 seconds the AI goes straight to all my units and shreds them to pieces.

The main thing in this mission is that the rocket launchers should lob rockets over some rock ridges to try and stop the enemy. Problem is the enemy knows exactly where you are and goes straight for you.

I'm uninstalling and re-installing without any patches to see if this helps. If it doesn't then Battle Tactics is getting a Red Banner. I might play the Core Contigency expansion next though I should just walk away.

The main campaign was perfectly fine though (other then a few hiccups with Naval maps). The CORE units aren't as good as ARM though they have a unit called The Can and this makes up for it! The Core Campaign was also harder though the last mission was kind of anticlimactic. What I really should do is play Skirmish against 10 AI.

EDIT: Reinstalled and the same thing happens. I'm about to watch a Youtube playthrough of this mission in case I'm missing something. If this is the way the mission is supposed to be then this is the worst designed mission of any game ever made... and that is saying a lot.

And in other news... I didn't think of actually moving my units into my base... d'oh. This one might be on me... I'm tempted to delete this entire post but I won't lol

EDIT 2: Mission done out of sheer luck... the AI again went straight for my launchers but 4 got away. The AI then caused enough damage they could not get past the debrid and were stuck. The Vehicle plant was destroyed but so were the enemy. I am extremely stupid but this mission is right up there with me. Let's call it a draw... we are both dumb!

Also I now need to find the stupid modernization patch again as it does make the game play better.

I'm trying to get through Battle Tactics as quick as possible. It takes a great RTS and somehow makes it awful. The mission usually focus on one or two units and you usually need them to do specific things... Sometimes the unit acts like morons. I needed to use some Fido's to destroy enemies from far... one of my Fido's stood there shooting a tree. When there is a hundred units on the battlefield, you will not notice one being an idiot. When you have a limited number of them and are greatly outnumbered or have a time limit, you bloody notice.

One good thing has come out of this... I never knew you could use control +f5 actually marks a spot on the map.

I also haven't added the modern patch and notice two things missing... you can't double click on a unit and have the same type all select that are nearby (which is useful) and in the patch you could scroll the mousewheel and the minimap would go full screen and you could target during it.

EDIT: Very Short Missions are done. I was going to stop but decided to play the short missions and... they are actually a lot better! They give you a bit of time to prepare.

EDIT 2: This is probably a bad idea but I want to prove to myself I don't suck at this game... skirmish 1 vs 9 on hard mode on a metal map. Large armies in a short time... and yes the AI are allies. The only problem is, I can't remember what a lot of units do as they were not used in the main campaign.

EDIT 3: The AI rushed to my base with dozens of units... and I lost within 5 minutes lol I rushed the first AI and destroyed them but again, I lasted five minutes. 1 vs 9 on Hard does not work... especially on +10 speed. I think I used to do this on Medium at normal speed... though I'm beginning to doubt myself

EDIT 4: I think it wasn't 1 vs 9, it was every man for themselves... on hard... at 10 speed. I ended up using the nuclear option. It ended up being me left and the AI on the other side of the map. I decided to send a lone unit to explore and tomy horror realised that the Tan enemy was sending EVERYONE (In my best Gary Oldman voice). I had 3 nukes stored, flew some planes and noticed Tan had a few building I hadn't blown up yet (I was lobbing nukes at him). I fired the first and it caused a lot of damage... the second hit his Commander and the game ended. If Tan got to my base I might have survived as I had a lot of Brawler Gunships... luckily I didn't have to find out.

Skirmish on the game is as fun as every. I might take a break from this though and play something else... wasted a whole month hardly playing, being sick as a dog and when I did play I played a game I had played before.

I'm leaving a lot of games half finished... I need to finish the expansion to this, I need to find the collectibles on Mafia, San Andreas, GTA IV and I realised I didn't play the GTA IV expansions.

I might start on some smaller Indie games...
