This video is a preview of the latest release of the "free" online game, "World of Tanks".
I've rediscovered this game after 2 years of nonparticipation. The game has changed a lot in the past 2 years, and so has my computers performance.
I've now been spending most of my online time playing this game. Due to the fact that I spent 8 years of my life riding around in/on a tank, all over the globe while I was in the US Military/Army.
I hope some of you will enjoy this video, and perhaps we'll meet at W.o.T, and have a chance to fight on the battlefield together.

It's an awesome game Wallace. My 6yo son and I have had a few battles. He's going to save the world digitally.

:hehe
That's a lofty goal for a six year old.
I thought I'd find someone here that has played this game. It is an "awesome" game, and will only get better over time. I was playing the game about 2 years ago, but didn't have a proper/decent graphics card installed. Which made the experience less then enjoyable.
I recently upgraded my graphics card to Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 760. I also had to do an upgrade of my psu at the same time, to accommodate the GTX 760's thirst for power. Now I have a pretty good setup and can enjoy the game as it was intended.
Thanks for the reply SysTemX. ;)

Beware of any name that 6yo, he is a strategy master.
There is another on-line called world of warplanes from memory. very cool.

The only strategy I could pull of at that age, was being able to weasel my way out of taking a bath. :hehe

Yes I've seen "world of warplanes" and it looks really great, but I didn't know you have to pay to play it. Every flying simulator/game I've ever played all had very complicated controls, and a large learning curve. Once you get past that curve, it really fun though. :bigthup

BTW... If your ever on W.o.T my name there is "ThorSmack". I'm usually driving a light tank and like to play in the lower tiers. ;)

You must excuse me Matera, I don't come out from under my rock much these days, what's TankLand, and what's "toon"?

Rocks are for hiding behind and shooting around, not hiding under!
