I've been thinking of getting Bloodbowl Legendary edition but I want an (internet)friend to play with then. But if it's as hard as Dominions III to learn then screw that. It sounds as unintuitive as War of Magic tbh....no explanation of anything halfadvanced and if you don't know the finer points of the game you get roflstomped every single time....

[quote who="Fistalis" reply="39" id="2925781"] Not everyone steals if given the chance..the problem is that we are all treated like thieves with modern DRM. locking your doors(or DRMing your product) only keeps honest people honest.. if a thief wants to steal your stuff no lock (or DRM) is going to stop him. The best security in the world won't defeat a determined thief.. and the best DRM won't defeat a determined pirate. When it comes down to it .. consumers pay the price

[quote who="WhiteElk" reply="25" id="2924071"] It seems to me that even Stardocks method fosters software piracy. I still take a hard stand against it. But I am much closer to it than I was a year ago. Particularly in regards to a product I have purchased. I would have greater ownership rights over a stolen copy than a purchased one. Thats sad. I'd never have to validate a pirated copy of E:WOM. So if at a future time I don't have the net (whic

[quote who="Kodiak888" reply="28" id="2924081"] DRM is a way of preventing second hand sales, piracy is just a added bonus (for the few hours that it works.) Consoles will be getting similar DRM next gen, effectively slaughtering second hand sales and Gamestop's long term hope for survival . Acquiring Impulse is their bid of success.

My local computerenthusiast site SweClockers has a Folding@Home team that's in the top 20 or so. Think they were top 17 last I checked. They had an article about people joining in loads when they make an article about it (when it's cool'n'stuff) and then slowly dropping of when the computer crash (almost everybody got overclocked systems) due to what they believe to be the programs fault. Many said in that thread that it's just

Fallen Enchantress is not an expansion. It's a standalone . I'ts important to differentiate between the two. Not only because he doesn't have to buy War of Magic but also because the term "expansion" has come to mean "more things" like factions, units, equipment, spells, quests etc.... Which isn't the case here. Frogboy (owner of Stardock who makes the game) says that Fallen Enchantress will be a completely new ga

[quote quoting="post"] Impulse just sent me via email an ad announcing a sale on the heart of Iron games. Heart of Iron III - complete mega pack is $52. But Heart of Iron III base game is $9, Semper Fi is $6, and the Sprite Bundle pack in $12. Total = $28.

I have read reports from indie developers, that their sales drop up to 95% when they aren't on the Steam store mainpage anymore. I guess the same is true for Impulse.
