Beach Assault in Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin
I played a really fun mission in Advanced Wars Days of Ruin... it was small... simple... but really hit home how fun this game is and how easy it is to have something you can just pick up and play.

The beach assault (called Coastal Assault I believe) was a simple mission where you get an array of units and you have to assault this beach. The first time I played the mission I failed because I was too hasty... I moved before I thought... and therefore entered a stalemate.

The second time I realized that I needed to adhere to the traditions of military combat... take out the air defenses with long range naval attacks... send in the bombers to soften the beachhead... then assault with heavy weapons to clean everyone out... bring in the infantry to mop up...

All weekend I kept my DS on hot-standby. If I found myself forced into watching a kids show or something, I would pop open the DS and bang out a few rounds in Advanced Wars... It has been awhile since I had a killer app for the DS, but Advanced Wars is that. Dual Strike got me to buy the platform and Days of Ruin re-energized me for it.

Neat! I didn't expect XFire to capture this because it wasn't appearing in my detected games list. I jumped into two fort for a bit because on TFC, that is the map I always played, so at least I wasn't a total n00b on where things were located. I played the scout... I actually had a capture, but I didn't recognize how to get to the intelligence area from my own base. :)

I have to say though... I didn't give this game a chance... and playing 20 minutes of it last night was damn fun. It has been awhile since I have played FPSs on the PC... the speed of them is enjoyable.

Q. When you are not playing games, what do you do for fun? (Answer!)
A. Hanging out with my daughters... I use to DJ Trance music and write a little music, but lately that hasn't been happening. :)

Q. Have you ever had a memorable real-life meeting with other gamers? (Answer!)
A. Yes, I have had some great LAN Party moments... playing Desert Combat Mod for BF 1942... using the C-130 with a team of 4 friends laying waste and listening to people across the room hate all over us. Good times.

Q. How many hours a week do you play? (Answer!)
A. 5-10

Q. In real life, are you male or female? (Answer!)
A. Male

Q. What are your thoughts on roleplaying in games? (Answer!)
A. The best part of role-playing games is making the characters. :)

Q. What is your first computer or video gaming memory? (Answer!)
A. Playing ET for the Atari 2600. I remember getting it for Christmas and thinking it was the VHS (or beta?), but then being pretty stoked when it was for a game console! Regardless of what the critics say about that title, I will always have a soft spot for it.

Q. If you could cancel any online game, which would it be? (Answer!)
A. I am typically not a hater on any game... i believe in something for everyone.

Q. Where did you get your gaming names from? (Answer!)
A. I typically look around the room... and put it together out of the objects or words that I see at that moment.

Q. What music do you like to play games to? (Answer!)
A. Trance/Electronica... if there is no soundtrack... but I often just play with the music the developers intended.

Q. Other than your console or PC, what is the piece of hardware you can't live without? (Answer!)
A. Why my mobile smart phone of course!

Q. Have you ever had a romantic encounter with someone you met in a game? (Answer!)

Q. Beside GamerDNA, what are your favorite websites? (Answer!)
A. 360voice.com of course!

Q. If you could meet any game developer, who would it be? (Answer!)
A. Probably Cliffy B because he seems really awesome... but then I would feel dumb saying "Oh hey Cliffy uh.... what's up?" so instead I might try and talk business with him... like how we can work with Epic to do rad things in the area of gaming community.

Q. What are your thoughts on player-made mods/addons for games? (Answer!)
A. Some of the best gaming memories I have are on player made maps and mods, so I have high respect for them and the people that take the time to create them.

Q. If you could bring any book, movie or comic to life in a game, which would you choose? (Answer!)
A. Can you imagine a game based on Accelerando? I can't... which is why it might be awesome.

Q. What is a feature you would like added to GamerDNA? (Answer!)
A. mmmmm... auto-blogging.

A. People who fail to follow the golden rule... or evil people who just were raised very well by their parents.

Q. Do your quiz results on GamerDNA reflect your personality, and if not, what did it get wrong? (Answer!)
A. I haven't taken any quizzes yet.

Q. What question would you add to the Attitudes system? (Answer!)

A. from 9pm - 2am Central Time

Q. What are your most memorable achievements in a game? (Answer!)
A. Some of my best memories was playing PlanetSide as an Advanced Mobile Spawn driver during huge assaults. If you were the guy that could get the AMS in the base... you could turn the tide of the battle.

Q. If you made your own game, what would it be like? (Answer!)
A. I would make a super rad SHMUP

Q. How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex? (Answer!)
A. I typically play the character that looks and acts the most like me... so I really never do that.. .unless it is a 3D fighter... Chun Li FTW.

Q. What is the most memorable flamewar you can remember? (Answer!)
A. I don't believe in flamewars.

Q. Do you feel relationships within games are meaningful? (Answer!)
A. Of course! The games you like tell me a lot about who you are.

Q. What do you love or hate about PVP? (Answer!)
A. I like PVP as long as it is real-time FPS style... turn based RPG-ish PVP, not so much.

Q. What is the most overlooked or misunderstood game? (Answer!)
A. point-and-click Adventure games don't get enough credit... neither do Space Sims (ala Wing Commander)

Q. Ninjas or pirates? (Answer!)
A. I prefer to rise above such debates

Q. How do you feel about selling virtual items for real money? (Do NOT advertise RMT services!) (Answer!)
A. I think money = time... so anything that takes time is worth money... so selling virtual items is all good...

Q. What do your characters and avatars usually look like? (Answer!)
