&lt;h2 id="my-reaction"&gt;My Reaction&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Warcraft II hooked me immediately. The choice between humans and orcs felt meaningful and the moment you start building your base and training units the game just pulls you in. The strategic depth was unlike anything else at the time. This was an easy buy and one I kept coming back to.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="overview"&gt;Overview&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness is a real-time strategy game developed by Blizzard Entertainment and released in 1995. Players choose between the Alliance (humans) and the Horde (orcs), each with unique units, buildings and abilities. The goal is to gather resources; gold, wood and oil; build a base, train an army and crush the enemy. It features a full campaign for both factions, custom scenarios and multiplayer. A landmark title that helped define the RTS genre.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>About</title><link>https://modestwalrus.com/about/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://modestwalrus.com/about/</guid><description>&lt;h2 id="a-website-about-the-things-i-cherish-games-and-music"&gt;A website about the things I cherish, games and music.&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 id="gaming"&gt;Gaming&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve been playing games for as long as I can remember. From the pixelated chaos of &lt;strong&gt;Doom&lt;/strong&gt; and the endlessly satisfying loop of &lt;strong&gt;Tetris&lt;/strong&gt;. Furthermore, the grand strategy and multiplayer of &lt;strong&gt;Warcraft II&lt;/strong&gt; and the brutal competitiveness of &lt;strong&gt;Counter-Strike&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some favorites that have stuck with me over the years:&lt;/p&gt;
