A New "Obsession"

Alright, let's make this a personal blog as well as a writing one.

I have discovered an awesome new thing, known as "Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance". It's a RTS (Real Time Strategy) computer game that emulates warfare on a large large scale, with up to 1000 units on maps up to 81km x 81km, or as little as 5km x 5km. It also has a very delicate economy system, and to master it, you need to be able to easily balance it, which is a very hard thing to do. Then, you have to building units like a lunatic to keep up with your opponent and not get overrun by all manner of nasties. These can include giant "spiderbots", flying saucers, nuclear warheads, submarines, battleships, aircraft carriers, tanks, bombers, anti-air fighters and guns, shield generators, stealth field generators and unit cloaks...the list goes on and on. It has been a very very very long time since I have got this so involved in a game, and I'm lovin' its strategic and tactic elements, as well as having only ever won one or two games out of about 8-10. And, I'm still doing that on the easy levels, so it's going to be real fun going to the higher ones! Ah, I've forgotten just how much fun RTS's are. Anyway, enough of that, if you think of buying Supreme Commander, DO!!!
