Importance of RA2
« on: February 19, 2010, 03:00:08 PM »
Are you a RA2 diehard fanatic ? Did you like it but nothing more, or did you forget it and just come to these boards to discuss ?

Personally, RA2 is nearly my only videogame - well, i didn't played any other game for nearly one week and i can spend months on it without any other videogames.

RA2 is less of a game and more of a hobby for me. While I don't spend a ton of time actually playing RA2, I spend most of my time on RA2 related things (tournaments, tutorial videos, the forums, etc.). When I want pure entertainment I go downstairs and play some Rock Band or some shooter game. 
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Roughly equal parts for me... It was really RA2 based until a few months back when I realised how much I liked Valve :P

So yeah, equal with Half-Life, Portal, Guitar Hero (Yeah not Valve I know :P) and stuff like that ^_^

RA2 is probably the first game ever that I have played at least ounce a week for over a year though


Its basically the only game for me computer-wise.. I dont play much else on there..


I think its because its a game that when you get bored of something.. you just make something new :P

RA2's my only game. When I get mentally tired from stacking, I play some Kongregate games for a while. And what I really like about this is that this is one of those constructive games instead of all-out destruction games you see in stores.
Clash Cubes 1 - Grey Matter (Runner-Up)
King of Karnage - Sideshow Freak (Runner-Up, Best Engineered)
Rust In Pieces - Paper Cut 3 (Grand Champion, Most Dangerous Bot)
Wheely Tag Tournament - Ion Thruster (Grand Champion, along with Ounces' DiSemboweLment)
UK vs USA - Dark Striker (Grand Champion)
Rust In Pieces 2 - Claymore (Runner-Up, Favourite Bot)
BBEANS 6 - Infection 4 (Runner-Up)
RA2 Team Championships - Serious Business, Skeksis (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, and Badnik)
RA2 Team Championships 2 - The Other Stig (Runner-Up, along with Scrappy, S_M, Badnik, 090901, and R1885)
Replica Wars 3 - Abaddon (Runner-Up, Luckiest Bot)
BroBots - wheebot & yaybot (Runner-Up)
Robo Zone 2 - Dipper (4th place, Survival Champion, & Best Axle Bot)
ARBBC - The Covenant (3rd place, BW Rumble Winner, Most Feared BW)

I'm actually one of three lead administrators of a Halo PC clan that is working on expanding to other games, possibly including COD4 PC and ijji GunZ. My RA2 career sputtered out a long time ago, so I don't build much anymore but I am here several times a day keeping up with the times. I do occasionally re-enter the bot lab because it's one of those things you just can't quit (Not that I want to!)

Most of my time has always been spent on the EA Sports NHL franchise for XBox. I also play Left 4 Dead and Halo, but RA2 is pretty much my only game for the PC.
