System Annihilation in 2007

January 3rd, 2008 | Posted in Games | 2 Comments »

Supreme Commander was released last year and right about that time the only computer with any chance I had of actually playing it burst into flames. Two upgrades later (one to get me back online quickly, and the other to make Supreme Commander playable) and I was playing Supreme Commander, or something like that.

Turns out I wasn’t able to play Supreme Commander for very long because as the game progresses it begins to demand more and more system resources. Eventually the fluid and pretty game became a jerky and unresponsive mess of very pretty twisted metal and explosions.

It was for that reason I quit playing the game. And though I actually did really enjoy the time spent pretending what I had been playing was indeed an actual Total Annihilation sequel, in the end I only came to realize that playing a game that doesn’t perform well on your system kinda sucks no matter how great the game may be.

So instead of going into detail about the game I’m going to share with you a video of some (probably now) retarded kid nearly blowing his face off with a potato cannon. Enjoy.

So, uhm, yeah. Seriously? What the fuck was this idiot thinking?
