now i hate MS as much as the next guy, but give a little credit, they are not out to swindle people that bad, It has nothing to do with hating MS. I don't hate the company necessarily, I hate the business practice. But if you don't think they are 'swindling' us, you are dead wrong. I know no company is in business to not make money, but upgradin
For a company like Stardock, which has been a beacon of quality, reliability, individuality and loyalty to more than the bottom line, to make a blatant plug for the corporate machine like this...It makes me wonder if the sell-out is far behind. I couldn't have said it better myself. After all I've gone through just to make a system that is bette
Value is a seperate issue. Value is only as great as the 'want'. I can use comic books for this example since I collect them. I can have one thousand first editions of let's say, the New GhostRider. Now regardless of what the market is for that said comic book, let's use the sum of 100.00, I can only get what someone is willing to pay. If no one
Even though my 'fearless leader' has gone missing (or at least I assume so since I haven't seen anything from him) I would still like to nominate Wheeloffire. He had some good ideas regarding the Metaverse and the game in general and also seemed to show an interest in it. Barring the obvious 'personality' traits that Wheel has demonstrated, I really do believe he would be a good candidate for what you are asking. Obviously it helps if the man is around, duh, but I believe we will be hearing fro
Again I am very sorry. Now you know when you make this man apologize you are forever indebted to him, don't you? And as far as you Kryo, you really shouldn't feel the need to apologize because it's not your fault. Just thought I'd sling that out ther
it isn't the governments job to keep anyone happy just healthy When I am forced into paying them my hard earned dollars for 'taxes' then I believe it most certainly is their job. Otherwise, let me keep my money and I will provide for myself, be it in times of emergency or just general living. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles
"Hate the sin but love the sinner" has never made sense to me. It is Orwellian double-speak. Is this the same as "don't hate the player, hate the game"?
You might want to read Brad's general post regarding the 7950 and issues with SLI. I believe the instructions were to turn ON the hardware mouse acceleration, or something to that effect.
I just have one question pertaining to this. Why on Earth did Brad make the comment that the AI wasn't designed to say, send a few fighters after your unprotected colony ship or constructor or whatever? I believe he was justifying it in the sense that he wouldn't want that happening to him so he didn't make it a part of the game. Regardless of how his wording was, why would this be? I would think that any civ upon noticing a rogue vessel in their space would send out a ship or two, if not to ou
There was a Milton Bradley version of Axis & Allies that I've had since 1985. Same here. We also got into the Fortress America and Shogun (which I have) but they never had the same 'feel' as Axis. I can't remember the other one they had, but I believe it was set in the old Rome days. The sad part is these damn game boards. I totally HATE th
have had German Shepherds all my life until the last decade with 3 cats....it is very true.... Dogs have Masters....... Cats have Staff..... I would have to disagree. I have four shepherds right now, mom, dad, and two boys from successive litters and let me tell you, I am definitely not their master. The only time I can even come close
It's like compairing life and the univerese, love and hate and answering the chickin/egg question. All these things we can do because we have perseption. We just don't have dictionaries, correct?
The question then is: should I declare war and take them out with my military that is designed to deal with them(they have shield and beam while I have shields and missiles) before they get too strong to deal with or should I wait until they finally move to close relations and make a treaty? I guess it would ultimately depend on what kind of win
I'm finally installing GC2 on my new PC after 6 weeks of not playing the game. I wonder if I still know how to play it. It's about time Mumblefratz! I doubt you'll have a hard time 'remembering' how to play ... but you never know. Incidentally, I no
A ship in space not only moves horizontally 360 degrees but also vertically, on top of that you can add velocity. A ship within a vacuum can still be turned if need be to face an enemy ship closing in at a 45 degree angle, while still maintaining forward momentum. Can anyone say 'Asteroids'? <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/
To expand a little on what Sir Evil was saying Thank you for explaining my comments a little more in depth. I was hastily typing away, and actually, I am not that great at 'conveying' directions. Clarification is always appreciated Quixen.
The only reason the world is rich or poor, is because of capatalism. The fact that we have people telling us what to do is a fact of human nature. We crave order, and we are willing to give up a litte bit of our 'soul' or freedom, if it keeps us safe. This may be so, and if it is, it is most definitely wrong to let capitalism rule our lives. Not
I can't build 16 economy bases around something when there isn't even 16 resources to start with. You don't need a resource to build a starbase. If he is able to, maybe Mumblefratz has a way to dig up that old screenshot of his with his bizillion starbases all over the place. This would probably help to clarify things a bit when it comes to the
Kelly's Heros, which I just picked up on DVD the other day We have a winner!
Hmmmm who really runs the universe anyway????? Dogs and cats... but that's another issue.
8) Instead of Multiplayer... Why not a Battle forum... Shipbuilding and ability to test these ships against other GC members...Contests maybe... That's an interesting idea and I like it. It could even be a kind of 'addition' alongside the metaverse...
I *like* the kindler, gentler Evil Stormbringer, even though this post will probably make him choke. Almost choked, but then I guess the little 'Good Sunshine Bringer' has been trying to suppress my gag reflex a bit... allowing me to "release the negative waves Moriarty" (extra brownie points to the first one who gets the quote reference). But n
2. External ship builder. SOmetimes I just feel like designing one, but I don't have a game going (or the game I'm on doesn't have all the big hulls yet), or I don't want to load up the whole game just to get to it. Yes, this was a feature that I totally overlooked. Add me in on this 'want' as well. Of all the wants listed, I would think thi
Border 'patrol'/checkpoint options so I can be alerted to 'gooks in the wire'. A truly functioning UP system where voting options do something tangible. And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for... The one, the only really, really, really lacking feature... CARRIERS! I had to say it, I'm sorry, so, so sorry. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Crying.gif" bo
Not much. But you probably tweaked it to make it as efficient as possible, right? Honestly, I kind of figured you to have like, two 500GB drives with a 1000 watt psu, the 8800 nvidia card... wow, you weren't fibbing were you? Just teasing Kryo, your
