Neutrality and a plea for differing viewpoints

Monday, May 14th, 2007

I am biased. I have my own opinions, some of which are rather strong (exhibit A: the recent anti-rush rants). But Supreme Commander Talk itself is neutral. I suppose that sounds kind of silly, since what is the site if not for its creators, but dammit, I’m the creator, and it’s neutral [...]

An easier way to link Supreme Commander replays

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

I’ve created a quick-and-dirty converter that transforms GPGnet-specific links of the form replay:… into general HTTP links that can be accessed from any web browser anywhere. This isn’t so helpful on GPGnet itself because replay: links function just fine within the client, but it’s very useful for, say, linking to a specific replay in [...]

Crazy weekend open thread

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

This is an open thread just like all the others, and hopefully, the last open thread before the patch. I had a feeling that the patch was coming out last week, but alas, I was wrong. Maybe this week’s the charm? Oh, and here’s an issue we need to resolve once and [...]

A guide for new readers

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

I’m realizing I haven’t made a truly meta post in awhile, so I’ll take another stab at it. Consider this “new reader education”. Our traffic numbers have grown a lot since the last time we did one of these. Anyway, here’s a nice recap of information about the site.

March 4 – Welcome [...]

Exclusive SupComTalk interview with Chris Taylor

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

You may remember that we solicited questions from our readers earlier this month to send to Chris Taylor in the form of an interview. Well, we certainly didn’t forget about the interview, and neither did Chris Taylor, because he’s just sent back his responses. So, without further ado, here’s the exclusive interview.

I’d like [...]

Gender issues and SupCom

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

Following the age demographics poll from three days ago, which confirmed my suspicions that the majority of the readers on this site are young but not too young (70% between 18 and 34), I have another question to ask: how many of you are females? I would honestly be surprised if the answer were [...]

Supreme Commander Talk gets a forum

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

I’ve been thinking of adding a forum to this site for awhile now, and I’ve finally gotten around to it. So, check out the forum. As an added bonus, I’m using forum software that is compatible with the WordPress blogging software, so your login details here on the blog and in the forum [...]

Supreme open thread

Saturday, April 14th, 2007

This is an open thread just like all the others. In case you can’t think of anything to comment about, here are four seed topics.

Check out Wankey’s awesome faction wallpapers.
Distracting your opponent with pretending to be a newbie in chat and then assassinating him — legitimate psychological/counter-intelligence warfare, or just a really jerk thing [...]

International Supreme Commander Fansite Link Day

Friday, April 13th, 2007

I hereby declare April 14, 2007 as International Supreme Commander Fansite Link Day. Basically, all of the fansites should write a post on this day that links to all of the rest of the Supreme Commander fansites. This will help readers find other fansites that they might want to read, and will also [...]

Divining the demographics of our readers

Friday, April 13th, 2007

In the interest of better serving you, the readers, I’ve endeavored to find out what the general age demographics on this site look like. This will help to, among other things, tune the average word length; I wouldn’t want to continue using huge words all the time if the majority of the readers are [...]
