my morning jackass posted:heart gold is basically the perfect Pokemon game. I completely agree - I always thought gen2 was the best (gen3 wasn't bad though), so after playing HG I totally agree that it's the optimal Pokémon game. Very satisfied with the way they re-did it. As for my gamer confession, it's remarkably similar to this: trying to jack off posted:i got a bunch of pc games including my copy of starcraft in the late 90s/early 2000s by renting them from a video store and registering the cd keys However I feel that I've more than made up for it now, seeing as I buy so much on Steam despite always going back to Crusader Kings 2, anyway

I was discussing Hearts of Iron with a colleague, and that reminded me of a confession I have to make, regarding a fairly long-term multiplayer campaign in Darkest Hour that I played, with two friends. I was Argentina, and my friends were Brazil and Canada. During the lead-up to the war and in the early years, Brazil and I (both fascist regimes) conquered the entirety of South and Central America, splitting it between us equally, leaving divisions worth of military police garrisons in the annexed states to keep the peace/kill partisans and other unruly civilians. By the time the early '40s rolled around, the three of us had built up our armies quite a lot and managed to make advances into nuclear weaponry, bringing our alliance into the forefront of nuclear technology, alongside the USA. During this period testing was required in order to further our nuclear program, and as I had recently annexed Ecuador I decided to build a nuclear testing facility on the Galapagos Islands, to allow our scientists to get a reading on our weapons' capabilities. (With the minor side-effect of the beautiful flora and fauna being inevitably wiped out as a result) As our end-goal of the campaign was to take out the USA and have the three of us own the entirety of the Americas, we moved our armies to the north (Canada) and south (Argentina+Brazil) borders of the USA's eastern seaboard - with the intention of racing down the coast, meeting up, then punching through the US armed forces and reaching the western coast. (As fortunately, through Canadian influence within the Allies we were able to keep the US from formally joining the Allies against Germany) However, our main mistake was that we weren't anticipating the level of sheer determination and unwillingness to lose ground that the Americans displayed. Since as soon as the combined Argentine and Brazilian forces arrived at Corpus Christi (while the Canadian forces crossed the border at various points along the eastern half of the country, to take out much of the USA's industrial capacity as fast as possible) and engaged the bulk of the US forces in the region, the US proceeded to drop 2-3 atomic bombs on Corpus Christi, as well as at least ten other atomic bombs along the US-Canadian border (devastating locations such as Montreal, Ottawa and Boston), causing the forces on both sides of the conflict to be utterly annihilated in mere days. Naturally, as we had recently assembled a couple of nuclear bombs of our own and that we couldn't leave this slight against us unanswered, (not to mention the fact that hundreds of thousands of our men now lay dead or dying) we proceeded to send our few strategic bombers into US airspace, dropping bombs on their already-crippled nation. I have no idea how many people died as a result of our warmongering, but boy am I glad that wasn't the real outcome of WW2!  (Although a lot of other things happened that game, too - as I recall the USA wound up being dragged into separate conflicts against India and China, and must've dropped at least twenty atomic bombs, between both nations. Not to mention a German attack on the US mainland, which was eventually put to a stop by the UK, who refused to return Norfolk to the US...)Also: In Training posted:This the most hosed up thing posted so far Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Sep 23, 2016 |

In Training posted:He and his friends killed untold millions of Americans and Brazilians with nuclear weapons in HOI which is dishonorable And the moral of the story is: Never attack a nuke-toting nation with all your men at once...always leave at least a division or two, to come in afterwards and mop up the remainders! Although what I'm curious about is this Knuc U Kinte posted:games style map gamer
