Lion's Daily Blurb - Friday, April 27

[Lion]

I smell something burning? YIKES! My tail is on fire! Several peeps have emailed over the past several weeks thanking me for forgetting that some of you are still playing Generals/Zero Hour, and that I have somehow forgotten ya'll. Please understand that with the release of a new game, obviously that becomes my main focus. I don't have a staff helping me with the many files I receive weekly. I do it all by myself, and it's sometimes a very daunting task to say the least. The majority of peeps have moved on to C&C3, and I have to take that into consideration. Having said that, I have no plans to abandon those of you who still play Gen/ZH, and it's not like there's a shortage of maps for those games. We have literally hundreds to choose from, and I'm quite sure that number exceeds a thousand. Same thing happened when Gen/ZH was released. The Red Alert, Renegade, and Tiberian Sun crowd yelled foul, and peeps wanted to string me up from the highest tree. I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't. Someone please pass me a fire extinguisher! :eek:

Hey LION sorry your tail is on fire. I have been trying out some maps from Zero Hour even with the release of CnC3. I am testing out my new compy to see how well it works with all my games.

However, I did try out your map for Cnc3 "LION's Valley". Loved it. I think I blew up your house though, those Nod militant guys were trying to hide out in there. (Something about mushrooms in the freezer) Anyway I kicked them out and now it needs remodeling. I looked for some guy fishing on the dock, but did not see him. Keep up the good work! Stay cool.;)

Generals/ZH...they were OK, but I have moved on! In fact, I gave my Gen/ZH games away, but bought Decades if I ever want to play them again. At any rate, I agree with Lion. His focus has to be on C&C 3! I don't want to debate about which game is better. They both have good and bad. Right now C&C 3 is the game for me! Plus the graphics and speed are exactly what I want in an RTS game at this time!

Maybe some of you folks out there could help Lion out by updating the Gen/ZH stuff?

Ah, that explains the shortness of temp... :: is mauled by an angry lion ::

Please don't forget about us peeps that can't run C&C 3 because of various hardware issues.

We C&C3 deprived souls still love our Generals/Zero Hour, and still rely on your site for the latest maps. Even though sadly I fear we won't see many more Zero Hour maps now that C&C3 is out and everyone has moved on to 'greener pastures' (pardon the pun).

Have mercy on our C&C3 deprived souls, and keep us in your thoughts and prayers...
