Some humor in these terrible times ...

Did anybody ever play that retarded Command and Conquer: Renegade game (I think it was renegade, might have been red alert 2) Anyway, remember when you could either control the sonic dolphins if you were american or the giant squid if you were soviet as "military" units? Then you were like wtf were they thinking that's so fucking retarded that I'm using a dolphin to attack a submarine. Anyway ... from CNN

quote:
A British military spokesman said Tuesday that coalition forces have full control of Umm Qasr, the southern entry point for humanitarian aid.

The U.S. Navy will bring in trained dolphins this week to hunt for seaborne mines in the waters around Umm Qasr, Navy officials said. The animals will seek out floating mines and mark them for Navy divers to inspect.


There's a pretty funny picture of a "marine" dolphin jumping out of the water too.

I'm sure the PETA people are pissed, these mines will make tuna look saints.
Afterall, I'm confident Saddam will deploy his tuna fishers to counter this US move.

Yeah I've been told of this, guess a dog is a man's best friend... even in waters! (I guess only the Israelis'll understand)

Now it's up to Saddam to start using giant squids for defence.

Btw, it was red alert 2. I remember that game well because of the whole array of retarded units. But I guess one of them was not so retarded after all.

HAHAHA!!!!!

Picture Saddam's troops all in red, with the tanks streaked with red etc... lol classic C&C ...

Yeah I played the Renegade game for 15 minutes this weekend and I think it blows. First of all I've been totally turned off to war games forever now, which incidentally happened before the Iraq war - though the war today only strengthens my decision.

Second, from a purely gaming perspective, I totally don't like the "3D" view because it's so awkward! Secondly it seems to me that there is much less information on screen at one time, as in you can't see that many units etc.

And is it just me or do the graphics look blotched and a little nasty? It's not really as sharp as the 2D C&C. If I had to play another C&C game, give me RA2 anyday.

And where is the story?!?!?!?!?

The (IMO) HALLMARK of the older C&C games were the hilarious storylines!

E.g. a scene from the RA2 opening movie (easily the cheesiest and funniest C&C story of them all):

(President gets message that PM is throwing their entire military at US)
(President calls Russian PM)
President: You're throwing everything you've got at us!!!
Russian PM: But mr. President, whatever do you mean?

LMAO!

And yet, as I understood it, there is NO story in Renegade. Pretty dumb, IMO, takes away the entire point of it all.

P.S. lol giant squids are hilarious.. WATCH OUT! I bet Saddam has old Soviet giant squids in hiding somewhere... waiting....biding his time... until the US gets nice and settled at sea... totally unsuspecting anything.....then one day....WHAMMO!!!!! A giant mofo squid starts humping a carrier... BOOYA!!! "Take that America", cries out Saddam!

But he'll probably be dead by then...

ugh..this war....

LOL I just thought of something else!

And when the squids start humping the US carriers and whatnot, Bush will issue a new statement:

quote:

"Dear Americans, unfortunately our coalition forces have been ruthlessly and unjustly attacked by terrorists of the ocean, those giant squids. We must fight back this menace of the ocean. We have been terrorised by sea-dwellers for too long. They are striving to destroy our democracy, our way of living. They are a threat to world peace.

We must declare war on the squids and on the ocean!!!!!"




(In case someone doesn't get it, it's a satire on the whole War On Terrorism - because really, a "war on terrorism" is just as futile and useless as a war on a body of water)
