Reply to Carding Full Grown Adults for Mature Games in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

Anyone who gets huffy over being asked to show ID is an idiot. The recommendation is 'mature', which means an age-gate is approrpriate. Even if you [i]look[/i] too old, checking still makes sense simply because some people look older (younger) than they really are, either naturally or through makeup. And if you do this voluntarily, you can avoid having the government stick it's nose in like it does in Australia and mandate what it does or doesnt' want. Which, in the ca

[quote who="Mellowe" reply="134" id="2562335"] Are you implying that the game will know what to play from the CD as you run the game? If so, that is an interesting workaround.[/quote] The original game was designed to play the music off a CD; putting the music onto a CD isn't so much a workaround as restoring the original design.

[quote]Now, if we compare that to the pathfinding in the other SC2 game, Supreme Comander 2, it's easy to see who got the better code monkeys.[/quote] Except we can't compare the two because we can't use both of them at the same time :P But I will admit, this does look like they are basing themselves off the same flow-field pathfinding system (and damn, I wish I could find a good report about how to implement that so I can compare it to A* !)

Not all of us... though I think I should have been, the original UFO:ET was pretty bad, but it looks like his mod would have fixed 99.9% of it (since from what I just looked up, the gold version is based on it).

Reply to Fences Icon Dump in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

SD Fences Pro V1.00.4275 As far as Impulse is concerned, that is the latest version. As a side note, it still has that annoying 'icons move when you use them' issue going on. It's worst with older games, but even newer games like Dragon Age sometimes do it. Please, I love the fences idea but if it keeps doing that I'm going to have to quit using it... it's horrible to have an icon randomly jump to a new fence, and then have to go hu

Fences Icon Dump in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

The idea of fenses is to hold my icons where I want them... Not have them go leaping out of their fences to exist, squashed into the small amount of 'unfenced' terroritory left on my screen!

Registration Invalid in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

For some reason, Impulse has decided that my registration for WindowBlinds 7 is invalid. I think this may have to do with the fact that I started with WindowBlinds, then moved to purchasing ObjectDesktop, but I'm not sure. This issue effects my laptop, not (I think) my desktop. Any ideas?
