IIRC, they eventually created some weird

 Tiberium controlling towers so it only grows in select areas?

And like, the Brotherhood and Kane:

Ascended through alien space-gates?

Yes, which is odd considering all of Kane's philosophy up to that point is how humanity should prepare to live symbiotically with tiberium, because there's no stopping it otherwise. Which is true, even GDI's sonic repulsors (reserved for the rich blue zoners, how nice) only slow down tiberium growth.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: GDI are fascist military dictators who only care about their wealthy funders and let the rest of humanity rot. Peace Through Power.

I just stopped listening once Tiberium Wars came out. The campaign was glorious until the scrin appeared. I loved the actual game and the expansion pack was AMAZING, but the damn plot turned to garbage once the scrin appeared. Otherwise it was perfect. Very C&C.

EDIT: Also no Tiberium games exist past Kane's Wrath. None.

I liked the Scrin. They're a decent explanation for why tiberium exists (alien junkies who infest planets that have other sapients with tiberium because they'll spread it around more efficiently is a cool plot for alien invaders), plus it's hilarious to watch their entry to the campaign as they, a mining group who expected a dead planet, are thrown into a three-way global war because of Kane and nearly blown out of the sky by GDI on approach to Earth.

It's super cool when you put it that way but I hate them because Kane decides to worship them. >.>

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I don't recall Kane worshiping them. Hell, he totally screws them over by bringing them to Earth a century early so Nod can kick their heads(?) in and steal their technology.

Yea verily, he speaks the truth.

The Scrin were alright though. The problem was

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

They were COMPLETELY IGNORED immediately after they were introduced as far as I can tell from having watching the kinda terrible cnc4 cutscenes. Say they're going to return with a bigger fleet are they? Nope, just forgotten entirely, like all the decent mechanics 4 was missing.

Not quite sure what you mean by worship though gun. He intentionally triggers them (and also another go of 'How much of gdi will believe I'm dead this time?' as a side effect, heh), the only things he needed intact that can be scrin-related are the Tacitus and that singular tower he had plans for; all the other scrin things got attacked just as much as if they were GDI, unless I'm forgetting something.

I feel like I'm the only one who remembers Red Alert. Then again, 3 was unbalanced as FUCK.

Unbalanced, yes. But hilarious to play, even if Uprising was so OP you could only skirmish AIs, it was still fun.

[Descan]

I loved Red Alert 2. You have no idea how many times I played that campaign, it was great.

Even Yuri's Revenge was fun, in its own way.

Love Red Alert 1's story, but I suck so hard at playing it because you can't scroll with the arrows (which I always do on RTS ).

Yuri's Revenge was glorious. Some of Yuri's units were super dumb but others were cool as shit. I don't know if I like it better than RA2 though.

I'd probably like RA3 better if I didn't own it on my Xbox.

My WTF for the day... Card Counting

Given that card counting is the basics of blackjack and Poker I am astonished anyone could consider it cheating.

I mean I could understand if the person got to look at cards he otherwise shouldn't be able to (like someone fed other people's hands) but otherwise...

Mind you from the sources I found it only became 'cheating' because Casinos actually rely on bad players to make money off of blackjack.

I remember beating the Soviet campaign in RA2 being one of the single greatest moments of my childhood. I got candy for staying up all night and destroying the allies. That was serious shit to me.

Did you ever play the Yuri Expansion?

No we didn't have it but i need to get RA2 and Yuri now.

Randomly getting glomped by random girl. I was somewhat okay with this.
