So, before we go any further...

Ok, now all these polls and links and short stories have been all good and fine.
But if you know me (which you probably don't), then you know I'm a strategic sort of chap
This being said, RTS games are right up my ally!
For those less experienced in the field of of strategy gaming, RTS stands for Real-Time Strategy- meaning that the game is not turn based- time actually matters.
But not just any RTS will do, one in particular stands out.
This game is Total Annihilation, affectionately known as TotalA.
Now, if you haven't heard of this, its okay. You're not uncultured or anything: its completely understandable. Mainly because the game was produced back in 1997, by a now extinct company (Cavedog).
The game features blocky characters, and graphics, though cutting edge at the time, now pretty hard on the eyes.
So, what, you ask, is so great about this game?
Well, consider this:
+TA won 57 awards, ranging from the time of its release to 2004
+One of these awards was Gamespy's 'Best RTS game of All Time', topping even StarCraft, a game produced years later
+Even now, 13 years after its release, TA retains a following of veteran players from across Europe and in the U.S. and Canada

THis is just a brief introduction- more will follow, including the plotline of the game, gameplay (hopefully, if I can figure out how to post a video), and strategy guides.
P.S. If anyone knows how to post videos and pics on a post, let me know!
