    Jenny McCarthy. Let me double check it was her. Yeah. McCarthy portrayed Tanya.

    And yeah, weirdly horny. Red Alert I was reasonably straight. II got goofier. and then III was just horny cartoon ridiculousness.

      Yeah, this promotional video, compared to the RE1 intro.

      RE1 was always fun. “What if Einstein went back in time and merked Hitler so WWII didn’t happen?”

      Fucking lol the Allies aren’t wearing Nazi uniforms but aren’t not not Nazi uniforms. Tanya’s not wearing a shirt, but, like… she’s not wearing booty shorts either.

      The series also gave us the Hell March which we should probably bring back as a theme song because it’s so fucking good.

      I wouldn’t mind seeing FMV cutscenes come back. They were always fun. Usually very campy, which was the right mood for many games.

        I swear that there was a cringe 2005/6 Generals trailer for the GLA faction, where they would scream that meme “All your base are belong to us” in a cringe Arab accent.

        There was supposed to be a C&C Renegade 2 that would have taken place after Red Alert 2, and it had two story drafts. First one was an attempt to connect Red Alert 2 with the first C&C (I believe Red Alert 2 takes place in alternative 1970’s). The second one was a continuation of Yuri’s Revenge.

      I think Red Alert I was supposed to be a serious prequel to the first Command and Conquer game, the one about Tiberium and Kane, the only silly thing in that game was Stalin dancing in London. I have absolute no idea why EA did that to III, only to kill the entire franchise some years later.
