Great balls of fire, is all I have to say about the picture shown above. Your eyes do not deceive you, and i’m not quite sure if you are containing yourself right now, but if you are, proceed to scrolling in the downward direction for more incentive.

Welcome back Commander! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) announced thatCommand & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection, a compilation of all 17 games in the #1 selling real-time strategy franchise of all time, is available today at participating retailers in North America and digitally on Origin™.

If you happen to be curious as to what games consist in the collection with their specific titles, we have that as well.

What The Ultimate Collection also includes is a Command and Conquer music collection, or soundtrack that has 20 songs all together. 17 games, a Beta invitation, a soundtrack, and even more content, tells me that dreams do actually come true.

As you might have guessed, Jacob Czarnecki is a person who is very enthusiastic about video games. He has been an avid gamer since he was in the first or second grade, and his first console was a PlayStation, which ended up frying in an outlet and bellowing smoke.That later created a reason to get a PlayStation 2, which introduced him to FPS games (Star Wars Battlefront being his first). Growing up, Jacob's family lived in multiple countries because his father was in the military. He lived in Germany, South Korea, North Carolina, Arizona, and has traveled so much that he once uttered, "Do we HAVE to go to Venice again?". He is now located is in his place of birth: Arizona. Jacob has multiple wants in his life: to make it into an elite branch of the military, to reach an enlightened state of mind, and to serve a purpose that benefits others and not just himself. That doesn't mean that he isn't a fan of fun. Jacob likes to shred on his electric guitar when he can, likes to go on hikes but he likes camping even more, and absolutely loves handling firearms at the shooting range. He is one of the biggest Star Wars and Halo fans that you will find and just loves everybody (unless you give him a very good reason not to). Was it mentioned that Heavy Metal is this guy's favorite music genre? If not, it just was. Jacob has no idea what he wants to study in College, but he knows for certain that he's going. He still has to reach the pinnacle of his life, and he'll do anything he can to make it there in the best way possible.
