How do you bring yourself to play RA2?
« on: September 06, 2012, 02:00:11 PM »
I really want to play RA2 but once I play the game after 2 minutes I get bored and turn the game off.

Does anyone else try play RA2 but get bored quickly and why?

I play a lot different games, and when I have tourney to host, or I feel like building something, I just boot up RA2 and play it for about 30-60 minutes.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

For me, there's always novelty in smashing up the Stock opponents.

If I am in the mood (which i've not been in this week), I will build one of the ideas I have, I don't close after 2 minutes due to boredom.

I couldn't care less about getting better. I just build because I have a great time doing it.

Whenever I feel like testing one of my mods or get inspired by an original stock bot or idea. The latter only happens like twice a year for me, though.

If I ever have an idea for a bot, I usually play, end up building something entirely different, then flip on my browser again and hop on newgrounds.

1. Tournaments
2. GTM
3. Me wanting to be a better builder.
 
Those are some of the big reasons why.

Usually it takes me a few hours to make a bot and then an hour or more to skin it...  So, I am afraid of booting up RA2 because I will loose a chunk of my day.  :P

I usually spend about 30-50 minute building a bot, about 15 minutes testing then about 20 minutes making improvements and once I'm happy with a bot I'll play with it for about half an hour.
