Mass effect is a great game indeed. I hope the ME2 will be as good as the first one. The only think I did not like on that game were instant crashes, when I moved from a location to location. The game was unplayable at the beginning, but after second patch (it was available two years after it was released in my country) it turned to be stable and great.
Well you asked if the expansions worth the money. Don't get angry, if someone says yes! Both expansions are great and worth playing. If you play the basic game, the first and the second datadisc you play quite different games. The AI is different, the technology tree is different, but all games are great.
As for me I have nothing against EA. On contrary. Yes, I refused tu buy Spore because of the stupid DRM. On the other hand I like their effort they made in my country releasing Dragon Age: Origins. They decided to add the Prima guide (the same it is available for 15 bucks worldwide) for free. Well it is not quite the same - ours has 200 pages, while the paid version has 300 pages. However such behavior is good. I would have bought this game anyway, however this is great reward for not piratin
The good thing is they are a warning to the others. Piracy is bad. The laws that may solve software piracy are still not complete and they are chaotic and it is a very bad thing. On the other hand some part of the piracy is caused by media companies itself. E.g. I watch downloaded Stargate Atlantis. I spent several hours already by attempts to get legal DVDs. "We don't ship DVDs to your country..." is the response....
I don't think it would be wise if a software company would sell hardware too. Remember Microsoft! It is as bad as if a software company starts to sell vegetables. You need to employ new people for it (specialized to hw (or bananas [e digicons]:d[/e] ). It is expensive and the company may not have any profit at all.
1) X3 Reunion 2) X3 Terran conflict 3) Elemental, War of Magic Some people say X3 is boring. However I can not resist to watch my ships entering and leaving hyperspace and making me lots of money. Hey, have I already mentioned money.... GC2 is good too, however If I am allowed to choose only three games.....
I liked Atlantis much more than SG1. However both series are great. Now I wait for the fifth season to be available, so I can buy it together.
Someone mentioned he tried Fences on Win7 and it worked. However Windows 7 is not yet completed and M$ may add some new features that make some aplication not to be functional.
Fences is a good addition to the desktop, however I found some features I don't like: files that are put to the desktop by other ways than drag-and-drop (e.g. Firefox loads a file from the internet and places it on the desktop) ignore Fences. The result does not please me, because the new file appears often under a shortcut created by fence. Due to this the new file can not be easily accessed, unless I move the fence above it. I do not understand a fence named R
It may be usefull from time to time to erase all temporary files and a browser cache. Especially if one has problems with the browse. 3rd party tools may do this too. Be aware however of the anonymizers! They are a usefull tool somewhere, however not if you want to save your login information.
Well, if older applications cease to work on their new operating system, I will not use it. Neither will many others. I do not use 16-bit applications anymore, however those 32-bit should. Even on the 64-bit variant of the system. I want most of the older games to be operational. As for the games, I wish DirectX 9 and older classes to be HW accelerated, not to be emulated as I have heard they are if you have DirectX 10.
You are not quite right. Yes, most software should work with < 32 MB RAM, but it requires more than 2 GB. However there are some applications, that in principle need huge amount of memory. AI applications, image/video processing and many others.... I do use 32 bit systems, but if there is a new operating system, the fewer versions it has, the better it is for us programmers (and users). So 64 bit Windows 7 with support of old 32 bit applications would be great. Many versions of the same sy
You may post the statistics the same way as in Galactic Civilisation games. You may also see top lists for various aspects of the game. Look here! As you can see there is a lot of things you may achieve and you are free to choose the playstyle or the goal you want.
Look at the choices in this cathegory! Fallout 3 may be the "multiplayer game of the year" too. [e digicons]:ninja:[/e]

[quote who="Ripperpa" reply="5" id="1950849"]yeah, great...., better solution: bring up the god damn 2.0 patch for eu!!!![/quote]I think kryo wrote they are working on it.
I have one simple solution: nuke them all! There will be pirates everytime unless there is a possibility to steal something. So if you kill all the people, who have a computer, or at least have the access to one, there will be no more software pirates anymore. And because it may be difficult to distinguish pepole with and without the access to a computer, I say, nuke them all!
Great news indeed! Preordered.
[quote]A continue current path key/button would be brilliant[/quote] Yes, you are quite right. This would be the brilliant addition.
You are not quite right. If you change memory (WinXP), it requires the reactivation. I don't know, if it subtracts the number of activations or not, but after upgrading my PC's RAM I had to run the activation procedure again (HDD, processor, mainboard and videocard remained the same). However 10 reactivations is still not a problem anyway. It may be too few for several people, however AFAIK those can increase the number of activation by calling the helpdesk.
Well, I still don't see any reason to go to this new platform. The new explorer is nice, but Total commaner is Total Commander.
I think it is not important, whether the system is 32-bit or 64-bit. For most users is important the question: will the program XYZ work on that system or not? And the second most important question is: will I have to learn a lot, if I want to do the same things I did last several last years? Because the second question is yes (I used tu use menus and I like them. It is simpler to search keywords than "keypictures") I don't want Windows 7 at all. It may not be the bad OS, but I don't
I personally avoid Vista whenever possible, but let's be honest. XP was a greedy system. It required 1GB RAM, while the other OS were working fine with one quarter of this amount. It took about 5 GB from the harddrive, while e.g. Win98 something about 0.5 GB (with virtual memory file). And it used to have compatibility issues too.
If you mention missing OS: Windows NT and Windows 2003 are not listed. Both systems are not for gamers. WinNT was the very important milestone, but it had some very bad features (e.g. missing rescue mode). And Windows 2003 are not bad, neither good. However Windows Millenium should not be called bad. It was the real disaster.
Neverwinter Nights on the multiplayer.
