Reply to What happens if the Earth starts cooling? in Politics JoeUser Forums

"if in say 5, 10 years the mean global temperature starts to dip -- i.e. definitively dip like it was doing pre-1975 -- what will the environmentalist movement do? Given the hysteria over global warming, does anyone think for one moment that the environmentalist movement will say "Oops, we're sorry, we really have no idea what we're talking about."? Or, would they simply come up with another "man made" reason that over-compensated for global warming?

"The UP is a just a shell of what it could be." I'd have to agree that this is definetly one of the areas that needed/could have seriously used some work. If they'd spent the time and resources on making the politics of the UP a mini-game of sorts, to influence other ares, instead of on the scrapped story generator, then that would have been great innovation. Fixing something that barely adds anything and stands out as a detractor in my mind would have been a good idea. Maybe

Honest review, there are a few good things in game that I think will help namely the espionage and you touch on some really annoying issues such as unit selection and fleet grouping for starbase constructors. I agree with those points. You are further right that it seems the devs are shooting down ideas, but not necessarily because they are bad ideas but because they are believed to be unfeasible by their staff. I'm sure the product will sell well, can't be the price at $29.9

Supreme Commander Demo Out in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Supreme Commander Demo, is out, looks hot, plays hot. I've only tested the skirmish so far. Basically thats 1v1 u versus AI. The AI no easy is pretty much a pushover, but its good for learning how to manage the resource income/expense. The game isn't centered around accumulating resources nearly as much as efficiently exploiting the resource piles u have, while upgrading your structures as well as your resource capability. The rate at which you income and expend resources is

"Being the geek that I am, I am fascinated by the idea of life somewhere beyond our own planet. Like many others, I've dreamed and believed that life could very possibly take on a from we humans would not be at all familiar with. But in recent years, that idea has been challenged by a theory called "Convergence" Basically the idea states that there are certain forms that are most efficient in nature, and that life will inevitably evolve towards those forms... For example, the vast majority of ma

"I'd be more than willing to accept that it's a necessity if somebody can put forth a good reason why" No you wouldn't you would dismiss it exactly as you have done, brining an irrelevant comparison of AI cheating and labeling that skill. "only 5% of players should be able to beat the AI" Loaded stat. Here's a fact... AI are predictable, and they are exploitable because of their predictability, it is because of that predictability and exploitablility that huma

"What community are you talking about? You mean the relativetely small gaming comunity of GC 1 then you are correct. But you're not seeing the big picture." The Dread Lords community has shown a majority don't think that a MP component to GC2 is worth the extra $10 cost to cover development. That is the argument they have presented, and stuck to without budging. I may not be seeing the big picture, and I am in fact very much for a MP experience, then continuing development of

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

At this point, with DA going gold, the only way for SD to screw up the franchise is to implement MP poorly. I would much rather see a strong SP experience, even if AI was AI, then a crap MP experience. The only thing is the development of the MP experience isn't a path untraveled, it's not exactly pioneering anymore. It is mainstream and the rules and guidelines are pretty well laid down. Of course it costs money, but you have to spend money to make money. Duh, the costs at th

Done for today, damn this makes for great therapy... when I'm off my meds, and not feeding my television addiciton, and social rejection. Gosh social rejection, I'm not sure but hypo-critcal, racist, shutting everybody else up censorship of ideas, as well as the cronic crybabyism that is you Whip, would go over real well at the next dinner party you are invited to. They don't even allow that at the DMV anymore. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ju/T_JU/smiles/BigS

Reply to Responding is NOT Flaming in Blogging JoeUser Forums

If you weren't a racist, a censor, and a troll yourself, not to mention a flamer, you would be qualified to throw stones. But since, you are a racist, a censor, and a troll, and I view that as fact, it hardly fits the definition of trolling. i.e. you were not invited into my blog, and my post wasn't a featured article as yours was i.e. in the public domain of JU, I have no control over what you write, on your blog, nor do I wish to beco

For the record, in case anyone reads this garbage later, I have nor will I EVER EVER EVER censor anyone. It goes against my core values, being a bigot and a racist is also but that's fine if you or anybody else wants to be that way. Just don't expect to not be called as you are, if you are, a bigot, or a racist. Insane ppls are those that consistently perform the same actions yet expect different results. I.e. making racially charged remarks, having racially and ethni

I'm further curious in your infinite wisdom Whip, why you don't feel out of place on my blog, putting down your words, adding your 2 cents, after deleting my comments on yours, comments of which you do know damn well, were thought out, and written with the intent of offering contributing value... and not a "drive by dick heading" as you so eloquently put it.
