PSA: Zen 101
In third person …
After Pecunia got her masters in Computer Science (“Pecunia, MSc.” Congratulations!) Zen got envious and decided to finally get off his arse and finish his own degree which he’s been neglecting since 1995. He’s working on getting back into MIT, and it looks like it’s going to be a steep uphill battle.
So, some side effects of him doing 16 credits this semester, starting on the 4th:
Addiction: World in Conflict Demo
I picked up the World in Conflict Demo last Sunday, after launching StarCraft II Heaven, to get a feel of the game while we continue work on World in Conflict Heaven, which we have just launched.
Now, I’m not an expert gamer – I’m the typical single player who goes through the single-player campaign of a game, try some skirmishes, then maybe get in a few quick multiplayer games with friends and staff over a few months, and then I’m off to play another game. I’ve played through most of the RTS games we cover on HG, and most of the games use the “build up your base, get an army, go and fight, repeat until game over” model. There were a few surprises along the way, like Age 3’s Home City / Cards, Rise of Nation’s 22+ civs/Conquer the World mode, and Rise of Legends’ surprising mix of three different fantasy genres, but most of the games I’ve played are typical of the current RTS genre. Build, Kill, Repeat.
When I started the demo installation, my expectations were low, kinda like “eh… here comes another RTS clone. Surprise me.”
Surprise me it did.
