It was nice to get a win. Red Alert 3 never fails to bring the fun. However, it's clear that this map was huge, and a big part of the reason it took so long. I'll never queue up this map again for this warmup plan. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

Trying to bring all my far flung planets into a cohesive system is not going to be easy. And I need to start keeping an eye on my neighbors as well! We'll start taking advantage of the new Warlords DLC soon enough. Just need more of that sweet military tech. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

I like where this is going. I really enjoy these early moments of empire building and trying to suss out my power level in relation to my neighbors. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

This one felt a little too close for a win. I think if the AI had pushed that left side more when it had the chance then this could easily have turned into an L. But I guess we broke its push just well enough to cause a retreat. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

After the real slog through allies and soviet faction plays, I get to my bread and butter. Empire was always my favorite faction when I played this game more frequently. It feels like putting on that favorite, comfortable t-shirt. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

Allies vs Empire was really slowing me down. So I've decided to come back to that stage after I get some more warmup in. I don't want to keep battering my head against it. So I moved on to Allies vs Allies. I feel like I stumbled into this win, in spite of myself. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

Despite this being a loss, I'm pretty confident that now I know what I need to do to win next round. This video features two L's. Oh boy! In the first loss of this video I managed to get my favorite tactic going, with the Chronosphere + mirage tank combo. But unfortunately it wasn't enough the AI managed to still have enough units to end me. In the 2nd round which goes pretty quick, I am shocked at how fast the AI got out its riptides. Well, keeps me humble. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

Wow, after the near win in my previous video, or what felt like it anyway, I have to post a triple loss. These losses are so devastating and quick, in fact, that they can make up a single. Talk about a blow to the ego. Oh well, "It keeps you humble" is a good motto in life when faced with a set back. I know who I am. And I know that losses and misplays will abound. Still, despite it, I enjoyed it all! #Keepsyouhumble I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

This one felt so close to win. Like if I had just been slightly more efficient with the harass, I could have shut down the mecha bay production. I suppose this probably shows my incorrect thinking on the matter. "Harass" by definition isn't strong enough to destroy. It's simply "harass". But still, I'll give it another try or two, because it also seems like this is the way the allies were meant to be played, and it FELT SO CLOSE! I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

A misplay on the first round. Brilliant!

Today we take a different route. It's the middle of the week. Let's just take a moment to catch our collective breaths. Relax, check out some memes on your phone, and watch some turn-based, misplay hilarity. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

I got out sneak attacked! Allies vs Empire is proving to be a difficult one. The faction I'm worst at going against the faction I'm worst against. Rough. I'll pull it out eventually. I do feel the learning process is continuing though. So even though a technical loss, I don't feel discouraged. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

I want to explain my gaming channel, and my style of fun. I'm not trying to get something out of YouTube. I'm not a great gamer, so I'm not trying to be the best. I just want to have fun. Alert! Misplays will abound! 📢 I'm open to tips and advice! Help me get better!

I tried to be a bit more aggressive with my forward base action this time. Well it didn't work out so well. But I do think I learned some from it! I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

After coming off the high of winning my first brutal match in Red Alert 3 as I warmup for Tempest Rising, the AI proceeded to smack my hubris back down to earth. What a shame. Beating the Empire faction as allies is going to be hard for me. But I'll do my best. The most important thing is to make sure I learn something from the loss, and get at least 1% better after each match. I'm always up for tips and help, so let me know how to improve. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

There was a voice over that told me to capture the buildings and "sell the rest". For some reason I heard "sell them all". So I manifested my innate ability to misplay and sold my only means of producing units.

This was my first skirmish in Red Alert 3 as a warmup for Tempest Rising. I haven't played Red Alert 3 in a long time, but I was committed to the plan of practicing against a brutal AI opponent. I admit I lucked out a bit going up against Oleg on this map. It doesn't suit his pre-determined style. But rain and sunshine fall both fall on us as ordained, and I'll take the sunshine when I can get it. It was definitely fun firing up Red Alert 3 again. I love this game so much. It's definitely in my top 5 of all time. I have so many fun memories and moments in my life from playing it. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

This video explains the schedule/plan of my upcoming gaming videos, as I prepare for the release of Tempest Rising (I seriously hope this game is worth it). I'll be playing a large amount of Red Alert 3 and a smattering of Grey Goo as well. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

I learned some of how to play as the GDF in this second Tempest Rising demo. I have to say that I really enjoyed the FMV cutscenes. Such a great throwback to C&C days. The GDF commander seems a great caricature. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢

This was my first demo play of Tempest Rising. Unfortunately if you are viewing this, it means that it's too late to download the free demo. The development took it off of steam, rightfully so, because the game had progressed so far that the demo was considered low quality and non-representative of where the game had progressed since initial release. I do this for my own fun. Misplays will abound! 📢
