Hello,

Most know me as Jist, or GeneralJist, but usually the shorter the better.

My favorite C&C is Tiberium Sun, because of the story/ campaign, I found a copy of TS back IDK when, like late 90s in a public library of all places, can you believe that? A public library with video games? back in the 90s....

the manual was also in color, and that was so cool, that I had to get my own, so I went out, bought a copy, and the manual I got was black and white, and I was sooooo disappointed... ahh

Jump forward a bit, and I had Fire storm siting around, one day, and on the back of the CD case, was a guy with a C&C cap, and shirt, and they wanted like $30 for that back then, and I was like, that;s so expensive for that, so I didn't buy it, but then I began to think about the old Westwood store catalog, looking at all the stuff, thinking to my self, this is cool and all, but who would spend so much money on these things......

And I forget it all for a while, and one day, I just had this urge to buy C&C gear, and I was like fine, so I filled out the forms, and sent them in.....was so excited.

Months go by, and nothing, and then I finally get a nice letter in the mail, that thanks me for my patronage, but the store shut down, and it's all gone.(this was like early 2000s)

So, I forget about C&C for a while, until one day, in a frys Electronic store, I see a green box for C&C3.

I quickly get it, and it was also on sale, but when I took it to the register, they triedd charging me full price, and said they had no records of a sale. so I let them to the display, and said look.

So they went ok fine.

Jump forward to like some time between summer of 2012 and summer of 2013, and Nod soldier Girl(NSG) leader for CBCPT, which I helped them found, says she's giving away GDI & Nod pins from the old days....for a contest.

And now they sit on my desk, and I wear the GDI one whenever I go to a nice place, but not too nice that I might lose it somewhere.

I can't think why I was such a fool not to get them back then, I'm way more C&C then I was then...

Guess C&C has grown on me xd....or I've grown on it.....*chuckle*
