Tovarishchi!

I got World in Conflict yesterday, a day before launch, nice one Play.
It really is great, the single player missions are constantly moving, have a lot of action and can get really tense. As well as having multiple secondary objectives you get medals depending on your performance in the mission, so the replay value's there, and that atmosphere's carried over into the all-important multiplayer very well.
The only problem is that people can't seem to join the games I host, so I can't have one on one battles with the Inquisitor or Haku when he gets the game, and I can't find any information on the problem online. But it's early days yet, and if it isn't fixed in a patch I'm sure solutions will appear on the forums.
Most importantly I think I just need to get better at it, I've had a couple of games at the top of the leader board, but it seems that more often than not clan Hitokiri are at the bottom of the pile. It really is all about using your units to the best of their ability, if you don't know what their strengths and weaknesses are you won't last a second. I'm sure I'll be looking to Haku for help with that when he joins the cause, he's linked me to tactical theory and unit guides before for the game Supreme Commander, and I'm sure he'll be just as eager to become the best on this new battlefield.

I got a call from Ocado about a possible position earlier today. While the commute would be nowhere near as easy, it would still be a much more preferable job to Argos. Word is I'll get another call on Monday or Teusday about going in for further processing.
