Enjoying the First Five Minutes
First off let me say that I have a love/hate relationship with RTS games. Had it not been for Soda teaming up with my pathetic ass I would never win. As a matter of fact, I seem to lack the multitasking ability for micromanaging my troops and building more units at the same time. When I heard that Warcraft 3 was going to implement some role playing elements into the gameplay it made my ears perk.
So the crew goes out and purchases three copies of WC 3 and we install the bad boy on our boxes. I start to play and I'm really digging the Hero thing. The idea behind leveling him up is fantastic. When you finally get some cool ass spells unleashing them is truly a sight. Well the time has come to play online and BAM! I'm 0-5 in like an hour. Now I know what you are saying, "Pic, what's up man do you suck that bad?" No my friends I do not. It's just that I seem to attract rushers like flies to crap. I often wonder what the hell is the point of playing an RPG when you aren't given the chance to level up you character. Oh, Oh, and don't think I don't know that if you play a human level 6 you are not a rusher, cause guess what? He is bringing 6 footmen and a mage with water elementals in about 2 and half seconds. Point is, if you want to enjoy an online game please feel free to do the following:
Pickles Guide to Enjoying Online Play
- Get a punching bag
- Buy a label maker
- Buy some frozen chicken
- Create the handle of your opponent with the label maker (get a cool color one too, they come in black, but I find that red labels make for better effects.)
- Paste the name of your opponent on the punching bag
- Wait for the rush…wait...oh it will come
- Beat the living shit out of the punching bag! Accept your loss like a man (while he is taking out your remaining buildings, run some good smack)
- Bake the chicken with lemon pepper sprinkled evenly on it and then serve with a lime for a Hawaiian theme (Soda claims that limes make chicken Hawaiian).
That should make for a more enjoyable playing experience. If its pointers you're interested in then, email Soda. He seems to be the only one of us to actually comprehend surviving for more than 5 minutes.
Oh yeah this game rules…go figure.
