Game requires IQ>130 to play.

Hey there! It's been a while since I've blogged. The crazyness will continue till about June 4th, after that which there's a break for 1 month! *Praise the Lord*

So anyway. I was searching around for Left 4 Dead patch downloads (OMG that game is awesome omg omg omg) when I came across this game.

The concept of this game is tremendously interesting. This game is not just those everyday RTS,

(Real-Time-Strategy, you know, Red Alert 2, Command and Conquer, those games where u build up a base and attack people)

It puts the element of time into the gameplay! That is, you can go into the past and also the future during a game!

What does this mean?

For example.

You're currently in the present, building up your base, then you find out from your timeline graph that you're going to be attacked from the future. So you zoom in to the future, and see your forces getting owned by them. Therefore, in order to reduce causalities, you decide to go into the past in order to build more units to be able to counter you're opponent attack. So then the past is fast forwarded into the present timeline and when your opponent attack comes from the future into your present timeline, you see that your forces are able to hold out his attacks. So! On seeing that, your opponent decides that he took too many casualities. So he decides to go back before he made his attack and withdrew most of his units so that he could plan a bigger attack in the future!

Don't understand? Watch this video.

And another thing, what about the old grandfather paradox?

The grandfather paradox goes like this. Suppose that you went back into the past. Over there, You decide to kill your past self! So your past self is dead. Therefore, he could not have continued living, and therefore could not go back into the past and kill himself. So what happens!?

Luckily, their game engine manages to balance this out nicely. Of course, it only is in alpha testing so it will be some time more before there will be any announcements on this game. Hopefully, it will manage to live up to it's concept and bring a whole new level of gaming.
