The magazine costs $5 US and $6 Canadian.

Is that a typo? If it's $5 US, it should be $120 Canadian. If it's $6 Canadian, they should pay me $23 to read it.

Not sure what the value of this program is.

Prehaps someone could shed light??

Fraps has been around quite awhile and is primarily used to test video drivers, graphic settings, options, etc. in games to get the best tradeoff of frames per second versus eye candy. It is used extensively in combat flight sims, where your frames per second is crucial.

The screen capture ability was recently introduced to Fraps (a couple of sub-versions ago).

As for a 40 minute install, the guy sounds like an utter twit. Took me about 10 minutes - wonder what kind of crappy-ass low end system he's using.

Ah yes, I remember back in the dark ages where the more enlightened personages around here had that same problem? (bad compact diskages)

As for the rest of the review, I can understand his point of view. I don't agree with it, but I can understand it.

Hmm, second glance "X Interface still rather clumsy" ...can't even understand that part.

Are you guys really made because he didn't like the shockwaves from CMBO?

[Axis AI refuses to buy tanks?]

Originally posted by BlackVoid:

At most he buys

Perhaps you're looking at it all wrong. Did BTS ever say the AI was a "he?" If you look at like my/your/their wife is buying the units, it makes a lot more sense. (After many years, you start to see a consistancy to the inconsistancy of what they do)

I went to the East Coast once! (That's JUST like being on the East Front from what I could tell!)

Some units are heavily armored in some areas and bare in others. Your goal is to shoot them in the area where they are bare, to more effectively get rid of it."

That does sound funny until you remember the "English as a second language" thingmie. (trade "bare" for something like "thinner" or "lightly" and it works. Hmmm, I wonder if he got his English/xxxxx dictionary from Monty Python? "I would like to sleep with your fish")

One thing that I keep harping on here is that CMBB is a game. I do that because folks seem to forget it.

I beg to differ. I think CMBB is a wargame, which is a bird of a much different feather.

Originally posted by Le Tondu:

The entire point for a game is to have fun...

Your comments are all valid if one accepts your premise that CMBB is indeed a (mere) game. Where they lose validity is when they are applied to a wargame.

(If I hadn't been up all night, I'd dig out an out of print book called "sorcerers and soldiers" which gives a nice overview of the history of wargaming... essentially it was developed to simulate, rather than to entertain)

Crap! Another flaw in my CMBB world domination master plan!

[You're all screwed now!]

I just ordered the strategy guide. I'll become so invincible, my local opponent will probably cower in fear and refuse to play anymore. Thus forcing me to join one of your ladders and wipe all of you off the face of the earth.

Crap! ...what if all of you order it too?

As Emily Lutella says... "Never mind."
