What makes Tiberium special is that it makes the resources it extract so easy to harvest. A large chunk of Earth's crust consists of iron, but it's very even distributed so filtering it out costs too much energy. Thus, we have to rely on stuff like iron ore (and scrap metal). If we had a method of extracting iron from common dirt, that'd be awesome - and Tiberium does not only that, but also makes harvesting the resources as simple as cutting wood.

Welcome to what is probably the most intense mission in The Covert Operations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olXks4WUlCE -
I don't think that Yuri's soldiers are mind-controlled. They are probably a small, loyal elite force - Sophia mentions that Yuri is training his own troops in vanilla RA2 (where they are Soviet soldiers). The Chronosphere can also teleport Einstein without frying him. XD

Nod wants to sabotage a peace conference... by dropping a nuclear bomb on everyone. Talk about overkill. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGEqOkcQQFo -
/Commercial. I do in fact plan to do a Let's Look At series for all of the three hundred Dune II clones/remakes/mods. I want to finish another project or two first, though.

While I have you here, Nyerguds: Is there a way to run Dune Dynasty in fullscreen mode.
-
This is something I never really thought about: Dune II usually lets you choose between three areas while on the strategic map. Does this make any difference? I know that the objective and the enemy faction is always them same, but are there actually different maps for each choice? The maps look so similar that I can't really tell without replaying them.

Wait, you are supposed to use the Chinook to evacuate the wife? I thought killing the Nod units on the way to her qualifies as "rescue". -

Nod has stolen important research data from us. Time to get it back! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwy3BZ0OjNw -

An we get to a mission that's actually halfway covert, even though the covert part takes place before the mission starts. Sort of. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKcwiRYrJvs -

I prefer the 2D versions, to be honest -

At that point you might as well just go with a PC. -

Oh, it does: It was the time when every console had a mouse, and none of them any games that actually supported said mouse. :laugh: -

I did that with the PSX version of Red Alert. It runs pretty smooth with the PSX Mouse. I'm not sure whether I ever came across a single game that supports the N64 Mouse. There have to be some, but none of the games that should be obviously supported seem to have support. You live an learn. -

There's no way I'm going to touch the N64 version unless I have to. The lack of mouse control drives me nuts. -

Nod is trying to rebuild its temple! Are we a bad enough GDI to stop Nod? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prjJIYxATHI -
Welcome to The Covert Operations. We kick this expansion with massive bombing runs... which isn't all that covert, really. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyjTonyAjmI

The mere thought of playing an RTS with a controller gives me the chills.

Let's Play Command & Conquer: The Dinosaur Missions
TaxOwlbear replied to TaxOwlbear's topic in C&C 1
I just took a couple of random dinosaurs that looked cool and scary. And are probably biologically inaccurate. I could have taken the aerial dinosaur from the first cut scene. It doesn't appear as a unit, but its appearance in the cut scene makes it semi-official, I guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OU6YcX09xsQ Custom thumbnails can be chosen in the upload menu or later in the video manager. I think you need to have your channel verified for that, though. -

We will finally stop an end to the flood of dinosaurs... with tanks. And attack helicopters. Lots of attack helicopters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNZXJQ9B2ck -
Can you provide a link to the VirusTotal report? It's important how many and which antivirus programs detected something.

Yay!
