I couldn't keep up with Sins. Just to much stuff I had to manage and I'd always end up outclassed.

I added it to the list because I got it from Gamestar and apparently it was pretty neat :lol: but i never had the motivation to play it...

I played most C&C games, but specifically talking about the tiberium games, i stopped at C&C3, i didn't warm up to the 4th installment. My favorites are the 3rd one (cause imo they did a good job with that one) and one i played on my nintendo 64 :lol: (have fond memories of that one and some nagging cousins i had to fight with to get a hold of the gampad)

sins was and is an epic game (apart from it takeing alot of time to get started). Plus there are some great mods out there for it.

the long games can get pretty tedious ( i mean like over 24 hour games on an 8 player map ). I remember one time i had a game that went for 72 hours (split up into three time periods), luckily multiplayer games can be saved.

But it is pretty different to many RTS's and its not for everyone.

72h is crazy :lol:
Even if you end up loosing that game, you certainly feel like you accomplished something 8-)
There was probably a lot of drama and all :ugeek:

What's the longest match in the history of computer (console) gaming to have ever taken place?
anyone got an idea?
On a similar subject, what's the pc game you'll take the most time to finish?

Arma II multi-player "when diplomacy fails" with all towns available (roughly around 25-30 towns I think).
^ One very looooooooong match.

Check this site http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/Sea ... game+match and type longest video games marathon .
These are the different types.

As for the longest video game marathon period, it was 109 hours (straight)
Anyway here is this URL. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/wor ... s-marathon

109 hours doesn't seem much for a record :lol:
when WoW was in its prime time, there were probably people who played longer than that but didn't think about calling the guinness guys over ;)

I'll get EE2 (there's a cheap sales going on, so might as well take the opportunity :P )

nop, it's a sale of old games at a retail store that seems to be closing up... if i remember it was 2.99 or 3.99€ for ee2 plus exp. EE3 was ~9-10€. But it could be even cheaper if i buy a lot of games at once :lol: .
I'll probably buy aoe collector again (just cause it's cheap and can serve as a gift if need be :lol: ) and there was a warhammer for 1€ but i don't recall the name, so i'll have to check again :?

I'll get ee2, aoe and warhammer probably (and some other jewels out of the mess), but I've spend way too much this week already (300€ for go, 100€ on made in asia (japanese expo)... and a london trip :? )

I read a story on Yahoo about a week ago about a guy making up to $1,900 USD a day with spambots. The internet probaly the easiest (or atleast in the top 5) way's to make money in the world.

If you understand the psychology of what a average person does on a computer you don't even need to go through the trouble of making things, like youtube partners do. Though most of which can be considerd either Spam, Scams or fruad (Often illegal) so I won't get into detail.

This pertains to the chart listing the current RTSs. If you are talking about international pyramid schemes then please disregard this message. (Carry on......)



The Game Cossacks. Great game complete with giant armies and much technology. (Cossacks, we need Cossacks :D )

Not really RTS, but i just got heroes 5 of might and magic gold (means with the 2ext.) from GameStar magazine. Now for the sad part, it's only usable with Steam grrr. And I won't use Steam for the foreseeable future, also i already have the main and the dwarf ext. as dvds so I'm giving it away pff =P
