As an aside, have you played red alert lately. Holy crap. I tried a while back and it's like people have just been studying that game non stop since I was a kid. I got owned. But year totally agree.

I sort of think that with a smart OS license for game IP you could put a lot of stuff into the public domain and it would flourish in really interesting ways like fan fiction.

Same thing with Heroes III - they talk about “breaks” and chains and things on multiplayer and it just blows me away.

I though I was good at starcraft before going to Battlenet, and I though I learned I wasn't.

But last year I went to play HOMM3 online, and I imagined I could at least teach the kids a trick or two.

I was so wrong.

It's literally a completely different game from "normal" HOMM3 now, really.

It's interesting watching playthroughs, and seeing the tricks used, but it's not quite the game I played 20 years ago.

I did pick up some positioning tricks and tips.
