Commanded and Conquered!

Out of plain boredom, David and I reinstalled Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars. After the first skirmish against him, my warmup, we played again and with one base and two outpost / ore gathering bases, he still managed to kick my ass. I need to practice more since RTS (real time strategy) games aren't my strongpoint.

I should have a strat and be able to beat him in the next few days, but seriously, David rocks at Command and Conquer, he always has. Since the old days of Red Alert, he's been kicking my butt.

Oh well.

In other news, I saw Hitman finally, it was ok, kinda lacked in a few areas, but I thought them casting Timathy Olyphant (spelling) for the role of Agent 47 was pretty good. He fit the part very well. All in all a very cool movie, I loved the various gun fight scenes, and the sword fight scene ROCKED!!

Rolled like Cinnabon


=GvL= got rolled like Cinnabon Sunday in 6v6 HC Domination by DPG (Dog Pound Gangstas) on Citystreets. DPG managed to pull out the win when suddenly in the second half they drastically improved their skill, set-nades perfectly all over the place, jumping like rabbits, avoiding our bullets, not taking dmg.

My hat is off to DPG. I just hope they are ready for us when we come back.

CSS Coding is Fun....if you consider headaches fun.

We did a inclass assignment on more HTML and some CSS code on Monday. After completeing everything, it wasn't untill the end of class I realized my page wasn't centering. I spent two hours on it Monday night trying to figure it out, but couldn't. So I emailed my instructor to see if he could help me resolve the issue.

Here is the page, I redid the webheader with Fireworks, cause I like mine more than his...

=GvL= almost wins it 6v6 DOM

Well our 6v6 Hardcore Domination match was tough. We almost won it. The map was a difficult one with it being Countdown. We pushed for B as hard as we could, but couldn't seem to hold it once we capped it. I ended up dropping at halftime for Dicknervous to come in, since I was the lowest man (score wise).

We will come back though. We have matches this week in all leagues and ladders, so hopefully we can pull some wins out. I think we just need to practice for the matches like we did back in the days of CoDUO.
