    You are thinking Generals which is basically a completely separate game with the CnC name on it. Red Alert 2 had the Allies, Russians and Yuri's army of freaks if you had the expansion.

    Edit:Unless you are talking about paratroopers. Those things were pretty nuts. But that means you are not building tanks. And tanks=win in all Red Alert games.

    I checked out your tower Gooey. I am impressed.

    thanks!

    i had a spot picked out that was pretty far away - at least a 5 minute walk

    then i decided that being far away from everyone isn't as fun so i just picked a spot closeby and started building

    building is so much more fun than mining

    Yeah. I went as far as the beach, then decided I didn't want to be so far away from everybody.

    The spot I found is really good, I did some landfill to make grass because there was an open mining pit there. But other than that it's superb. Also the City of Lights is everywhere down there so I had to be careful when I mined.

    I have a pretty good mine in my mountain hideaway but once i run low on ores (getting close on coal - so much glass and stone!) I think I'm going to take a shot at some of the mining techniques they talk about on the minecraft forums - IE, vertical shafts to a certain depth, then a great room, then horizontal mines

    I might even try a boatavator!

    Paras were the special power of the US sub-faction of the RA2 Allies. They were just on a cooldown and cost no resources, so you could pump out tanks or whatever else and just keep the paras on cooldown to build up a high veterancy infantry force that could shred normal tanks in the blink of an eye.

    Who what now?
    It's about a decade old. Was the first RTS I played that used squad-level control like Relic has been using in their RTS. Building is handled a lot like Rise of Nations did it, also.

    Actually, Rise of Nations isn't a bad option.

    Holy crap I thought I was the only one who played this game. I remember it being pretty fun but very...very slow.

    I wish I knew where my copy of it is. :(

    Good morning, [chat]

    did the ole 'reveal the genitals' gamble

    I wasn't aware you're supposed to wait until after dinner the first time either.

    So we were having a nice time. Chatting, had a beer or so. She was cute and pretty cool. She wasn't the brightest girl I'd ever met but she was fun and I could use a few dates with a fun uncomplicated girl. She seemed interested in my job and my work etc etc etc...

    Then all the sudden, out of nowhere, she starts having a go at me about my age. Granted, she's at MOST 3 years older, if not then 2 and some odd months older. She starts waxing nostalgic about being "my age" and how she wishes she could go back to being my age again. I let her finish and then playfully (we had been joking with each other, the precedent was set), I said "so pretty much you're babysitting me right now" and she laughed and she goes "no...more like an older sister." But she didn't laugh and she didn't seem playful. There was about 10 seconds of palpable tension and then she was like "I mean you don't look 23."

    It was kind of rocky from there. I liked her but it was weird and I don't know what to make of it now.

    Some women, especially ones looking to settle down can be extremely weird about age. You probably shouldn't have said that joke. I've been through the exact same scenario though, went on a few dates with a girl, thought we were hitting it off, she freaked out about my age, and no more dates after that.

    Yeah, as a general rule of thumb you want to avoid age jokes with women till you know them well. Most are fine with it but some get really upset at them.

    Yeah the joke may have been less than appropriate, but I felt like I had to say something. She was getting really weird and I wanted to somehow break the tension.

    Lesson learned I guess.

    God I love that movie so much

    I am comforted by Richard Dawkins’ theory of memes. Those are mental units: thoughts, ideas, gestures, notions, songs, beliefs, rhymes, ideals, teachings, sayings, phrases, clichés that move from mind to mind as genes move from body to body. After a lifetime of writing, teaching, broadcasting and telling too many jokes, I will leave behind more memes than many.

    there is a thread on the minecraft forums that explains mining in excruciating detail

    like, scary, ocd on adderall detail

    but basically the ranges where you can find gold, redstone and diamond are thin, thin bands - diamond only spawns in a range of 10-15 or so bricks.

    there are all sorts of charts about different mining techniques and calculations of their efficiency and such

    Yeah, I mean, in all fairness (not trying to be defensive), but I wasn't even going near the age thing until she made a huge issue out of it. She was treating me like she was 25 and I was 16. Was a poorly worded joke but it was kind of annoying to be an adult with an adult job living on my own and paying my way and have some girl Im supposed to be on a date with start talking about me to me as if I'm in highschool.

    did the ole 'reveal the genitals' gamble

    I wasn't aware you're supposed to wait until after dinner the first time either.

    So we were having a nice time. Chatting, had a beer or so. She was cute and pretty cool. She wasn't the brightest girl I'd ever met but she was fun and I could use a few dates with a fun uncomplicated girl. She seemed interested in my job and my work etc etc etc...

    Then all the sudden, out of nowhere, she starts having a go at me about my age. Granted, she's at MOST 3 years older, if not then 2 and some odd months older. She starts waxing nostalgic about being "my age" and how she wishes she could go back to being my age again. I let her finish and then playfully (we had been joking with each other, the precedent was set), I said "so pretty much you're babysitting me right now" and she laughed and she goes "no...more like an older sister." But she didn't laugh and she didn't seem playful. There was about 10 seconds of palpable tension and then she was like "I mean you don't look 23."

    It was kind of rocky from there. I liked her but it was weird and I don't know what to make of it now.

    Whatever that is hardly awkward.

    You should hear some of the awkward things that have happened to me on dates.

    Some women, especially ones looking to settle down can be extremely weird about age. You probably shouldn't have said that joke. I've been through the exact same scenario though, went on a few dates with a girl, thought we were hitting it off, she freaked out about my age, and no more dates after that.


    Yeah the joke may have been less than appropriate, but I felt like I had to say something. She was getting really weird and I wanted to somehow break the tension.

    Lesson learned I guess.

    Meh, tbh if she's freaked out about the age difference enough to turn a date awkward over a joke, it wasn't ever going to go anywhere anyway. She might come around though, I wouldn't stress over it.

    I am really bad at mining in minecraft, and thus my building is limited

    I just seem to dig forever and never end up with anything but cobblestone

    there is a thread on the minecraft forums that explains mining in excruciating detail

    like, scary, ocd on adderall detail

    but basically the ranges where you can find gold, redstone and diamond are thin, thin bands - diamond only spawns in a range of 10-15 or so bricks.

    there are all sorts of charts about different mining techniques and calculations of their efficiency and such

    uhh
