Yeah, luckily I saw the signs before I bought this game, and I decided to rent it instead. Now I'm up 50 bucks! The game had a good concept behind it, but the execution was flawed, not to mention the most horrible story Lucas has produced yet. This makes Episodes 1, 2, and 3 look awesome by comparison. 4/10

Actually, soil evidence collected by one of our rovers revealed that Martian dirt is quite similar to our own, and that it could probably support many plants were it not for the lack of water.

There's one thing that a lot of people don't realize about this issue, and that is that even if we find reasonable energy alternatives to slow or even halt our gasoline consumption, we will still be a long way off from oil independence. Ever heard of petroleum products? We use so much oil to make the things that build our vehicles, buildings, tools, the list goes on forever, and those are things that are even harder to replace than our energy source. Also, about using water as a fuel s
A slight side note, but I read about a group that set out to build an [B]extremely[/B] gas-efficient car and met with great success, a small hybrid that reaches something like 200 miles per gallon. This car handles so different from all the fat-a$$3d cars on the market that you actually need a motorcycle license to legally drive it, but from what I understand they plan to commercially release a limited number in California as a sort of vehicle beta-test. Unfortunately, I have no idea w
I listen to metal and rock mostly. Notable bands include System of a Down, Dream Theater, and Keane. I also like movie/play scores, such as the LotR and Matrix scores.

While the only wars I promote are those held against the Drengin, I will say that I would hope that these weapons overtake nuclear weapons because, like you mentioned, these weapons would deliver the destructive force without decades-long, widespread collateral damage from the nuclear fallout of a conventional nuke. But on the other hand, perhaps its a good thing that the superpowers are dissuaded to use WMD's by the fallout damage they cause; creating a weapon like this might be seen as removi
I remember that my family ate nothing but the flesh of wild beasts. And we THRIVED.
Nuts, the cannon was ineffective. I think we'll need to collect a sample of the Beast for analysis.
All developers should simply release a short demo with their games so people can sample the game without resorting to actual piracy.
Charging cannon...Shot away!!!

The argument goes that your territory is strictly limited to your planets and resources (which the other civs obviously don't touch unless they're invading), and that all space is neutral. The lines are merely where you have strong influence. The only inconsistencies with this are that civs WILL tell you to move your ships if you build up a fleet on their borders, and there is also a UP resolution that forces all ships to move out of enemy influence when a war is first declared. Both of these
I second the motion. I hate Omega Defense and the like. NO MONUMENT TO THE FALLEN SHALL STAND AGAINST MY WILL, FOR I WILL RAZE THEIR HOMES AND REND THEIR BONES!!!
Well, to each their own, I guess.
[quote]It seems that, in order to preserve the "starcraft" feel, Blizzard will make almost no changes to the game, with the exception of new graphics (which look poor), and new units. It may seem more like an update than a sequel.[/quote] Can you blame them? Think of the other option: they could change it, but what happens if the new formula doesn't work very well? Starcraft has such a legacy to live up to, Blizzard is probably [I]afraid[/I] to do anything else. Besides, that is a bi
It is a ground based RTS. I myself haven't played Civilizations, so I couldn't compare the two for you, but in a nutshell the game has a relatively simple resource economy (minerals and vespene gas), focuses more on managing these resources and deciding what units are best to invest in, and each of the three sides have very unique units, unlike some other games where the factions all have a basic infantry unit, a basic tank, etc with minor tweaks. In fact, that's one of the things the game is
Damn, Zyxpsilon, have you ever made a post that not once included the word "X-Worlds"?

Awesome comic Feud! Is that xkcd?
Actually, the sensor cap effectively eliminates the sensor bonus (and with high research it will happen sooner rather than later), so the only lasting bonus for Technologists is their research bonus, dropping them to 4 racial points of worth.
