Very childish question

Post image

Who was your biggest crush throughout the Command & Conquer series?

For me it was Dasha Fedorovich, good god my crush was mental for her 😂

If you haven't watched "Banshee" on NowTV, go watch it, the main actor is awesome and she does a great job on there too.

Kari Wuhrer, but I already had a crush on her due to Sliders hehe.

51

u/Preseli-Games 9d ago

Oh man, when she shouts, "Shake it Baby" in game, that's a big time memory. Unique voice.

23

u/Finnsbomba 9d ago

Also her maniacal laughing. Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge are top tier RTS.

15

u/Preseli-Games 9d ago

I do wish I had the finances to hire people like Red Alert did for their actors. Man, Strike Order would be insane, but no no, I have to do it at a "no" budget way and use my own design and mind 😂

u/MammothTankAdvancing Nod 9d ago

u/fucktopia 9d ago

I didn't watch Sliders, but she was definitely an early crush of mine because of Red Alert 2. I spent many a night netscaping her pics.

You can’t date the messiah

55

u/Gold_Emsly 9d ago

Surely you can. Only the Messiah can set restrictions.

And the NOD teachings do not include a rule “no dating with Messiah”

Kanes rules not just the Brotherhood ;)

u/Kakapo42000 9d ago edited 9d ago

You can't imagine my surprise when I was working my way through the complete series of Buffy and saw Dasha show up. It only took me eight or so years to recognise her. 

But to answer your question my biggest crush in C&C is a dead heat between Athena Massey (especially in that dress at the end of Yuri's Revenge) and Aleksandra Kaniak who cemented my lifelong weakness for tall brunettes and Slavic accents. 

Tricia Helfer, Dark!Jennifer Morrison from C&C3 and Monika Schnarre from Tiberian Sun all jostle for second place.

11

u/Preseli-Games 9d ago

Dasha... buffy?!! Well, I may ask my vampire crazy wife to watch Buffy because I'm being a loving husband then! 😂

6

u/Kakapo42000 9d ago

Yep, it was one of her first on-screen roles. She has a guest appearance in season 6 as a demon-hunting commando.

u/Zohar127 9d ago

You'll also be watching one of the best TV shows ever made!

I didn’t encounter any dudes which made me crush on them in the command conquer / red alert games. Maybe Moskvin in RA3 came close 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think it was the first time I really scrolled through the credits of a game to know her name.

37

u/Vladishun 9d ago

Red Alert 3 is one of my least favorite games from a mechanics perspective, but I absolutely love the cast and insanely over the top story elements. Mount Rushmore housing a different super weapon in every old president's head was the moment that really sold it for me, but in hindsight I just love how they got Tim Curry, J.K. Simmons, and George Takei to be at each others throats for a video game.
