"There is nothing like building an impenetrable fortress and a huge assault force and then unleashing your army on a neighbour."

I used to have fun setting up traps for my neighbour. Once I set up a Burger King-esuqe maze for him to walk back and forth through while towers picked away at his army. Heh. I had fun listening to him swear from the next cube.

"What is a Burger King-esque maze?"

At Burger King , they have this maze in front of the counter that you have to walk back and forth through before getting to the counter to order your meal. The place is never busy, but you still go in back and forth and back and forth. It's like "When I complete this, can I have a piece of cheese?"

My big gripe with AOE2 was that I would spend a devious amount of time building "The Castles of Castles(R)" and some dinky little tree would block my perspective, and all the frenchies would march through that tiny hole I never saw. I had to start wearing a football helmet 'cause everytime I played that game, I'd smash my head into my monitor.

Re:Warcraft 1 was not THAT great
