Command and Conquer
I realised today why I suck so badly at C&C. It's not the tactics - I know which units to send against ze enemies, that bit's easy; and I'm not too bad at managing my resources - I can prioritise my unit / building creation well enough; but it's the fucking controls that screw me over. It takes me ages to find the right building, then start creating the correct units, then find the guys I want to move and move them to the right place, while trying to fend off an attack on the other side of the map, and grab a fucking chinook to transport some other little bastards to where they need to be.
Practice will get me there, I'm sure, but frustration gets in the way of that.
This is the case with many of the things I do. Playing guitar, going out on the bike. I know we can't instantly be great at what we try, but it'd be nice if I could find something with which I could be considered a natural.
As opposed to au naturelle. I've stopped doing that since the arrest.

I demand a game! NOW!
If you're good, you'd be better off organising a game against Ryan (his blog is in the links). He's prohardcoreawesome at it.
BOW BEFORE MEEEEEE!!!! :D
Oh, btw you don't need to hunt for buildings if you arrange your base sensibly. :)
Also the ctrl+function keys help with this. Also, you can press the H key and it takes you back to your base.
Finally, in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, you have little icons for some helpful shortcuts. One is a hammer and spanner or something, and is the shortcut for your next available dozer. I think there's also one for building people and vehicles...
Im shit at it - hence why I challenge YOU FOSS
