Blade Edge

Transposed from Gaiiden’s Scroll

Soooo I finally got to playing around with SupCom and it’s pretty damn cool so far. I didn’t actually play a game, however. First I made sure I was able to connect to games – I was able to make a link to a ranked game but the few times I tried joining a custom game I couldn’t get a connection – the Trying to Connect screen would just sit there for a few minutes before I gave up. Hrm.

So I downloaded a few replays and checked them out. I wish the replay interface had a timeline rather than just a speed adjustment. Other than that they were fun to watch.

I also set up the dual-head support. Sweeeetness!! I thought the second screen would be just a strategic map – but it turns out you can zoom in, select units and even issue commands! How awesome is being in two places at once? Tho I think this could be considered a major tactical advantage over people with only one monitor. But who said war was fair?

So I’ve really only messed around in Sandbox mode, just seeing what all the units can do and testing out the game’s economy – how to use the two resources in the game confused me greatly at first. But now I get it. I think my favorite race is going to the the Aeons (sp?). But we’ll see.

Ugh, I wish I could play more and try an actual game but… my eyes can barely stay open. If anyone wants to set up a match just send me a PM or try and find me online, my name’s Gaiiden (big surprise).

*YAWN*

crap guess it’s time to go…
