That is great to hear. I do have DX 9.0c compatible card at least (it's a lowly ATI X200 128mb) but the 1gb ram should help. I don't mind the lack of mp facilities. I want this type of game to play during breaks or when travelling. CIV4 was too heavy (it ran but too slow). marcus
Great story, nice pictures too. I wish there was some sort of tech demo on GC2 so I know if it will work on my laptop. If The Movies(Lionhead) well, will GC2 also work well? I want to buy it on release. marcus
Haven't you seen Independence Day. All wee need is a virus. Brad can write it . Or even better. Lets send all our Religious Zealots up to the ships. They would bore the Drengin to tears with their babble. Drenging response would be "This is the most boring species we've ever encountered, lets head to a more interesting planet"). marcus
Leauki, Putin is interested in a long term solution because it's good for Russia too. They have every interest in defusing a conflict which spills into their own soil. You know. I'm sort of hoping that a real Drengin shows up in the skies. Maybe the human can at least temporarily forget all these pointless petty(and quite frankly boring) conflicts and finally unite against something real. marcus
I don't think it was rambling. A good insightful post Dynosoar. And I agree with the conclusion. Islam is at a crossroad but in my opinion we(meaning Western society) should help them find the right way, There are better ways than the flame war type reactions. For the record. I think Brads original post was insightful too(but not entirely correct), wouldnt bother replying if it wasn't. But I felt the need to reply anyway <img src=
Putin invited them to Moscow for talks. Hardly something he would do if they were raving madmen trying to kill everyone. Remember that Hamas was actually supported by Israel in the beginning, in order to damage Fatah. They choose the wrong horse of course. And it increased because that was the exact response JP intended. Called a flame bait in forums/usenet. Sure, it's stupid to go after flame baits but there's definatelly two sides of thi
So be it. I'll hand that one to you . But secular or not, they are humans. Humans can be idiots and they can be intelligent and reasonable. I just think it's un-necessary to make such broad sweeps over such large human masses. It is counter productive. You wonder what the point is in debating. I say that's the key to working democracy. Having a meanigful dialogue (like w
Syria is a hardline dictatorship. Everything that happens there is part of an agenda. It reminds me of the "spontaneous" book burnings in Germany. You really believe it was just a "whim" and not something carefully orchestrated by SA? You could say that. Libya is also a hardline dictatorship and no embassies were burned there. marcus
I think it's very relevant to quote him. There was an excellent article in Haaretz(Israeli newspaper) of all places which made more or less that comparison. Here in Europe it's very popular to find scapegoats whenever there's high un-employement or other problems.Now it's the muslims, next it's someone else. You can be sure that I wont ever side with facists on any issue, nevermind their arguments. If progressive powers have anything to say, t
I'm from and in Sweden. But is the right way to fight facism with facism? Look at the groups gaining from this conflict It's not the secular muslims, neither is it the conservatives or liberals. It's the good ol' brownshirts (meanwhile the hardline muslim fanatics gain). I believe that dialogue and debate is the way to fight fundamentalsts, not insults and childish behaviour. I also think the comparison about Islam going aft
Thanks for the welcome Leauki, Had it been anyone else but Brad who posted this I probably wouldn't bother . But having read his posts on Usenet and elsewhere for years I have allways seen him as a levelheaded debator (although somewhat different ideology than my own). I enjoy discussing with intelligent people, sometimes a luxury on the Net . I fully understand
Some bug happened here so I registered and now I got a better editor . BakerStreet. I only now saw that you are from USA. I thought you were British and was about to mention what some Irish friends thought about British culture . About the protesters. No. No Danes have killed any Muslims but so far no D
