This has got to be one of the most bizzar things I do right now. I seriously play way too much C&C in order to do this. I do this whenever I'm going through stress and other problems (family, school, work, life in particular.)
Sometimes, late at night, I'll walk out into the living room and grab my Tiberian Sun soundtrack. I'll pop it into my computer and listen to only one particular song... "Lone Troop." I'll pop it into my computer and play that song. Then I'll just lay my head on the desk, close my eyes, and think. I'll just think and think and think. I think back to when I first played C&C. I remember playing the demo, the first mission. I remember exactly what I did. every single move I made. Hell, I remember how I didn't even know what to use that MCV for. All I did with it was move it behind a bunch of sand bags and put my men around it. I even remember when my dad bought me the game. I even remember the exact date. November 16th, 1995. I even remember the exact time I held it. I held that box at 7:30 PM.
When I'm laying there on my desk, I just have flashbacks about some particularly amazing experiences I had with C&C throughout my life. I remember when I played my first game of Red Alert. I just though that it was astoundingly better than the original. All I did for a long time was play Red Alert. I touched no other game. Red Alert was the only game for me at the time. By the time Tiberian Sun came out, I was still playing Red Alert like a drug addict. It wasen't until that day that I pulled $40 dollars out of my pocket for the sequel to the game that has brough most of us here. Tiberian Sun pulled me in deeper than ever before. I almost felt like I was living off of these games. There was one point in time where I had no computer for about 4 months. I was depressed for about 2 of them.
I even tried playing other games at my friends house, who at the time, had a better computer than mine. They just didn't fill the void. When I got my computer I played Tiberian Sun like you would not even be able to comprehend. I just sat there in that chair looking at that monitor pounding the oblivion out of the AI. I was eventually grounded for bad grades in school and all my computer games were locked away until I got my grades higher. My grades went up pretty fast and they let me have my games back. I was able to keep a healthy balance between life and Tiberian Sun. But I would have episodes while I slept. As if I lived and breathed C&C while I slept. I would eventualy wake up and come back to reality. But when I slept and had those dreams, they were practicaly my nirvana. As if I was re-incarnated.
When Red Alert 2 came out I got that the day it was released. I played that a lot, but not as much as with Tiberian Sun. There is nothing else much that happens after Red Alert 2. Everything I play now is just some stupid material possesion. But those first 3 games that I played really were something else. After I bought Tiberian Sun, it felt like I had acheived the glow so to speak. It was practically the peak of my C&C lifestyle. That just really opend the door for me to see what C&C was really all about. Even now as I write this, I am listening to that song I mentioned earlier. I am having flashbacks that are so crystal, they are beyond all comprehension.That first mission for GDI, that first mission for the Soviets, the first time I held the long awaited sequel. C&C is my nirvana, Westwood and C&C have really impacted my life and have left a huge legacy behind them.
Now you may think that this is just some bullshit that I made up just because I was bored. You may also think that I need to be locked up in a psyco ward for what I have just told you... beleive what you want. I am just telling you this to let off a little steam in my life and to share my experiences. If you would like to share you C&C experiences also like I did, fine. If you would like to take this post as a joke and crack shit at it, fine. I just put this here for the above reasons.
Thank you for wasting you time reading this. At least I'm now not the only one who know's I do this.
