Sorry, I put this in the wrong thread.  Could someone move this to Computer Wargaming?

The game description seems quite unappealing.

"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Pretty much read all the Conan books, doesn't seem to have anything to do with the source material. Looks like tower defense with a Conan figure thrown in, and maybe some familiar place names.

It sounds and looks like a mobile game. Bah.

Which of course is where my joke came from. ;)

We can't live under the threat of a c*nt because he's threatening nuclear Armageddon.

I read a number of the books.  While I enjoyed them, I'm not sure that "Conan" and "strategy" really belong in the same sentence.

That said, if the game play is good, I don't really care if I'm Peter Rabbit fighting a horde of Nazi Dinosaurs.

Those are the worst kind of dinosaurs.

Which sounds awesome!

And as it happens, there is a first-person shooter called Dino D-day, featuring Nazi dinosaurs released to repel Overlord. If you're wearing a bunny costume while playing it, then SEEK SOME PROFESSIONAL HELP IMMEDIATELY FOR GOD'S SAKE!  :hide:
