sic-disaster 311 Posted March 7, 2008 Hello guys. A while back, i decided to start a website of my own to focus on tactical realism games. I feel this kind of games is declining, but it's my favourite kind of games so i wanted to bring them under attention more. The goal of my website is to make reviews about all the games i own, know and love. I combine these reviews with gameplay video's hosted on Youtube, under the name SiCDisaster. I pick my games on a few factors: 1 shot 1 kill gameplay, openness of levels (allowing for tactical movement, that is), and the ability to apply tactics. The link is: SiC's Tactical Gaming Refuge The games i have reviewed so far consist of Swat 4, Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, Rainbow Six: Raven Shield, Armed Assault, and Ghost Recon. Hidden and Dangerous series, Full Spectrum Warrior and some others are still to follow. I've got Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 in the pipeline. Also, i've written an article on tactical movement, as well as a translation of the Armed Assault 2 preview in the German PCGames magazine. (dont tell anyone official! I'm not sure if its allowed! ) A demo section is up, as well as a custom missions/plans page (containing an Armed Assault mission for the XAM mod, and a custom plan for R6:RS). Co-op video's of Armed Assault can be found as well. Also, check out the forums I hope you guys enjoy it!

JdB 151 Posted March 9, 2008 Lazy people, all you have to do is take the full URL and remove the first part of it until you end up with http://www.freewebs.com/tacticalgamingrefuge/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted March 9, 2008 URL fixed. Couple of tips: 1. When you post a URL somewhere, take the 0.23 seconds to check it works. 2. If you make a website don't use freewebs, the worst free webhost known to man, there are billions of free hosts out there better than freewebs. 3. If you want to impress people, at least give the HTML page a title of some kind rather, seeing | at the top of my firefox tab doesn't exactly cause much excitement That said, anything that spreads the tactical gaming message to the masses can only be a good thing, so much gaming dross out there with so many poor, deluded souls to convert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do remember trying to put a name on the page though I'll have to check that one again and try to do it better. Been focussing more on content at first Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sic-disaster 311 Posted March 21, 2008 Put up a new review, for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 as well as a small preview for one of it's 3 major mods, Mare Nostrum Red Orchestra review Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparks50 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Regarding the Swat 4 review, you forgot about the VIP multi player mode, which just alone is worth the price of the game IMO. Anyway, nice site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jakerod 254 Posted March 22, 2008 <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"><html> <head> <title> | </title> You might already know this but I thought i'd say it just in case; all you need to do to have a title is change that | to Sic's Tactical Gaming Refuge. I like the site so far. I was reading the ArmA review and it was pretty good. The only thing that kind of bugged me was that I had to keep scrolling over to finish lines. Maybe making the page a bit less wide might help. I think the pictures might need to be shrunk that could be the problem. Its just kind of annoying to have to keep scrolling over to finish sentences. Otherwise I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sic-disaster 311 Posted March 24, 2008 Regarding the Swat 4 review, you forgot about the VIP multi player mode, which just alone is worth the price of the game IMO.Anyway, nice site Allright, i updated my Swat 4 review to include VIP mode information Weird i forgot that  @ Jakerod, thanks for the site title suggestion. Freewebs doesnt use html stuff anymore so i couldnt add that line, but i found the option where i could change that. My page now shows a name when you load it As for having to scroll around to finish reading sentences, i found that to be different for various people. I can read the sentences perfectly without having to scroll sideways, some others dont have problems with it either. Then there are others who do have to scroll around like you, but i found those people use different kinds of webbrowsers. That might be part of the problem, cause for a lot of people it appears fine. (for example, it seems my site hates Opera) Thanks for the feedback guys, it's appreciated Also, i updated my website some more: added a new co-op video on the video section and added a whole-new photo-gallery with co-op pictures from ArmA sessions!

Placebo 29 Posted March 26, 2008 In Firefox the sentences are dragged across to the width of the largest image, IMO you should never include fullsize images in a passage of text anyway, clickable thumbnails is the way to go...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sic-disaster 311 Posted April 28, 2008 After a long time of silence on my website thanks to school business, i have finally had time to do another article. Have a look at "Tactical gaming done right" according to me: Tactical gaming done right according to SiC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sic-disaster 311 Posted May 12, 2008 It's been a while since the latest review, but here is something you all might like: an Operation Flashpoint review Features quite a lot of pictures, 2 gameplay video's and a video showing the openingsscenes of Resistance! So, enjoy! SiC's Operation Flashpoint review Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted May 12, 2008 Nicely done, however it could use a spell check. I noticed "wich" and "unkown" after only reading the first part Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sic-disaster 311 Posted May 31, 2008 Nicely done, however it could use a spell check. I noticed "wich" and "unkown" after only reading the first part Thanks for that mate, i'll try to sort it out asap. Just another small update: I changed my co-op video page. Instead of just a long list of video's one on top of the other, Freewebs made a beta-version of a video album available. So, i have re-arranged all the co-op video's i have into this video album, for a better oversight and it looks a whole lot cleaner too! Have a look and enjoy the latest video, wich can be found in the first album (Nimrod and SiC). http://www.freewebs.com/tacticalgamingrefuge/apps/videos/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
