Ok, so all of you Command & Conquer fans out there knows that there will be coming a new game in the Tiberium series, that’s right, I also posted about it earlier but that was just when it had gotten announced and no trailer…etc was out yet. So Command & Conquer 4 <Add Subtitle Here> will be the last game of the Tiberium series according to Electronic Arts Los Angeles and will wrap up everything about Tiberium and about Kane, the story people have been so eager to hear since the game was released in 1995. Too bad the original creators Westwood Studios didn’t continue the story instead as they seemed to have quite some ideas for it but EA fucked it up and created their own shit when they took over the series. There have been many speculations around C&C4 and while some of them were just absurd and not true at all then there were those speculations which were true.

The true speculations where; There will be absolutely no base-building in the game, that’s right, they removed the best part of a C&C game which have been a part of the series since the first fucking game ever released, the only two games which did not have base-building was Sole Survivor and C&C Renegade (FPS game). They will also remove Tiberium harvesting and instead introduce these capureable structures where you will get resources from the underground, kinda like the Tiberium Spikes in C&C3 and Kane’s Wrath. What does this mean? Well, they apparently will focus on attacks more than base-building considering they removed it, you will have to build your units through an unit called the Crawler, there will be different types of Crawlers too according to EA; Offensive Crawler, Defensive Crawler & Engineer Crawler. While I am all in for new ideas I think they should reconsider about removing base-building, at least make something in the Options on Skirmish and Multiplayer that people can choose between Crawlers and base-building.

Right, so the official announcement trailer for C&C4 came out the 24th of July (which is a while ago now) and it was quite awesome, we see this extreme Tiberium infested area (Manchester, United Kingdom) in 2062 while a GDI Orca Transport and two Orca’s are flying towards the GDI HeadQuarters, the person inside the Transport is Kane himself who for a proposition for GDI followed by taking out the Tacitus, that’s right, the Tacitus from Tiberan Sun is back, it was also featured in Kane’s Wrath but back then it was highly unstable due to GDI research (last mission on the campaign).

Oh yea, before I forget about it, you will be required to have a 24/7 Internet connection to play Command & Conquer 4, while EA says there will be no DRM protection on the game they have done this sneakily by having this, they say it’s because you must be connected to their servers to update your stats…etc but in reality this is just a secret DRM protection, in other words; Fucking liars.

But yea, that’s enough about Command & Conquer 4, I think I’ve covered the most important stuff here now so lets move on. Though, in conclusion, I think the game just went down to SHIT.

So as you know I ordered some figurines from HobbyLink Japan earlier, well, they arrived two days ago and they were nice, except the Revoltech Fraulein Rin Tohsaka one which just sucked monkey fucking dick because of epic poor quality not even worth talking about, I ended up just putting it back in the box and throw it on the top of my shelf so I don’t have to see it again, the other two were better quality and were cute to look at, these being; Rika Furude & Parfait. I still got the Hanyuu figurine on pre-order and I was thinking about buying another Rika Furude one which is kinda like the Hanyuu one, I wont be able to pre-order it before September 1st though so I gotta wait a bit. This Rika Furude one costs 1450 Yen so it isn’t the worst price for it, it still falls long under the tariff limit here in Norway so that I am happy about.

Also, when it comes to my Yuyuko cosplay I have it covered some, I have figured out how to use money on the cosplay while I still have enough to try and buy my laptop which I want to get, I seriously need a new one for school use so that would be really helpful, hehe. I found a wig for my Yuyuko cosplay now which is $38 but the seller allows “Offers” so I gonna try and put $30 as an offer as that puts it under the tariff limit.

So as I said in my last entry I would start watching some anime again, which I have and currently I am liking the new series I have started watching; Kanamemo & Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Seriously, Umineko is awesome and Kanamemo is just humorous to watch because of its weird storyline and random shit going on all the time, and the characters are quite moe so that adds to the fun factor. Umineko is kinda like Higurashi just worse and I am enjoying it even if it fucks around with my mind all the time, heh.

So shit, yea, this was another long entry when I thought it would be shorter but hell, can’t blame me for enjoying to write on my blog once in a while and make it a long entry, haha.
