[quote]I mean, do you really think galactic civilizations was better than: Deus Ex, Fallout 1 and 2, Planescape: Torment, Diablo II, etc, etc.[/quote] And i would give a resounding Yes!! to three out of the five. Why? Because it is my right ot have my own opinion. That's all these "this game is better then that one" arguments are about anyways.
This is great. I'm always leary of those game trailers that like to show you pretty cinematics without any gameplay. And those YT vids of someone playing without any commentary of the whats and whys usually leave a lot to be desired when trying to get a grip on how the game plays/flows.
I know the fanboys will probably flame away but whatever.. Ummm.. I guess it's what fans wanted, but did it really take them that many years to come up with that? Same game with slightly better graphics and Warcraft 3's crappy zoom. Even the same sound effects and UI. I guess it was always just another rts for me, but I doubt I'll be buying it three times over and just wait for complete pack at a discount. Maybe I was just expecting something more groundbreaking.
Steam forums are going off too on this one. Could go down as the most pirated game in history when all is said and done. Ubisoft might as well have had you have to come to their office to have to play it. At least then you could slap the shit out of the management everytime the server hiccuped.
Well the site is supposed to be about comedy, but your right this is more truth with not much laughs. Maybe I'm just in fear of the Jobs ire.[e digicons]:grin:[/e]
http://www.cracked.com/article_18377_5-reasons-you-should-be-scared-apple.html I realize this is comedy, but the fact is there is usually quite a bit of subtle truth hidden within.

I was running Bioshock with FRAPS up, DX10 everything max at my monitor's native 1440x900 clamped at 60FPS due to v-sync. At one point it dropped down to the mid 40s for a few seconds and I would of never knew if it I hadn't seen the counter. Maybe my eyes are just getting old, but unless I get a huge dip in something it just doesn't seem noticable. Think I'd rather have a game using enough of my stuff to keep a smooth 45-60FPS rather than have a whole bunch of unused potential I paid for jus
One of the worst offenders of consolitis I have seen in recent years was a game I was actually looking forward to playing awhile back. Saints Row 2. OMG, the horrid controls, buggy and they couldn't even be bothered to get rid of the analog stick graphic for switching weapons and such. That and the fact that first gen Xbox(not 360) games would laugh at the graphics even when maxxed out. I am glad now that Impulse didn't get it(like was at one time a possibility) and I waited to pay next to no
[quote who="rothdave1" reply="27" id="2540048"]The 5870 is 5/8s of an inch longer than a 260. Bah quote didn't work. I saw dethadder said it looked a smidge smaller. I had to cut reliefs in my hard drive cages when I replaced my GTX260s with my 5870s.

In a review it says it is 11.1 inches long, whilst my BFGTech GTX260 OC2 is 10.5". I thi
I'd be a Pepsi Product person(Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, etc.). But seeing as both Coke and Pepsi seem to be jacking up the price every few months like they're serving liquid gold, I go for a nice offbrand Rootbeer most the time. Besides, Coffee is my main drink of choice. Love me some Maxwell House :) .
[quote who="TheDarkKnight2008" reply="49" id="2539526"]As this topic shows, people like to make jokes about the iTampon more then use it.[/quote] Yea, I kind of wonder how many sales they are actually getting beyond the "I'll buy anything with an i in front of it" crowd.
It's at abandonia.com for DL. Not sure if it is totally legal as I've heard conflicting reports about some fo their stuff before. As far as getting it to work on Win 7 I have no idea. It says it needs dosbox and I am not even sure if that runs on Win7 64 since I have only been in this OS for a week.
Certain games make work well on consoles, but even then they seem limited. Ones I've played on console, even specifically made for consoles you start to see how much more expansive the game could of been if it had been on PC. FPSs is one that I don't think will ever be just as good as or better on consoles. As long as your playing against others on consoles your good, but the minute someone has mouse and keyboard they will be raping your ass. And games that are ported to PC after the fact. OM
Judging by the KB for size comparison it looks like it's a little shorter than my GTX260(although beefier looking overall). Definately a good thing as I have a full tower and my card still sticks up under my HDs by an inch or more. Wish they'd work at least a little on reducing the size of Gfx cards. The things are getting monstrous. Looking forward to seeing the benches on it and don't forget to include the rest of your Specs.
That's a sweet shower. I'd have to get a mega hot water heater, because I would just want to hang out in there all day :)

Not sure if someone fixed it or what, but it looks fine in Firefox 3.6. Edit:ahh, Po got to it first :)
I thought 3D Realms had closed up shop. Did someone else pick up the development? If so I'll say Aug, 2015 Just for the hell of it :)
I used to have a lot of problems with the forums, but not so much anymore. Still one of the slowest sites I've ever seen to initially come up(GalCiv2.com), but once here all seems good.
You might be able to go into the component manager in administrative tools. Go to disk management and see if it shows the rest as unallocated. From there you can format/partition and assign it a letter it as if it was another drive. I have to do that when I reinstall my XP cause my disk is sans service packs and will only show 131GBs upon install.
I would much rather see something that isn't kept on somebody elses server. My thought would be; thumbdrives are so small and light they could just be kept in you wallet/purse/keychain, when you want to multi-login to something like above you just plug it into the USB port of the PC you on at the time, it interfaces with the browser and bam your in with your single login. When your through you pull out your TD all info on the PC is erased immediately and your on your merry way with your info
Yea they may be fast and if you've got the extra cash more power to ya, but until they are at least somewhat competitive in size and price my PC won't be seeing one I'm afraid. With close to a TB I am scavenging for space. I couldn't imagine how much that would cost in SSDs.
My Girlfriend plays games like Animal Crossing and such, but her favorites are actually Halo series, run and gun shooters like Serious Sam and the like. It all depends on the individual. There is no set demographic IMO, different people like different games. If you want to feel slighted as a gamer and blame it on the industry being male dominated, that's a personal issue. There is enough variety in games being offered nowadays that anyone who calls themselves a gamer should be able to find so
Steam's offline mode was added after initially having none and as such does have issues and steps to follow for it to work right. Even then some report not being able to get it to work, but some of those I would say is uninformed users unaware of the procedures to start with. You have to make sure Steam has your account info saved, the game(s) in question are updated and have been ran before while online. This usually only becomes an issue if one buys a pack of games and doesn't get around to
