Lastly, any reasons I should put the campaign on hold and play random map games first? My opinion on the campaigns is that they aren't the heart of the game. The true heart lies in the 'sandbox' mode, which is by far more enjoyable to play (IMO) than the campaign. Also, since the campaign scenario's are 'scripted', you can't truly get a feel for

So G.W. is usually the guy we all look to to invoke some thought inspiring posts regarding many things that have, ahem, nothing whatsoever to do with this game (unless you want it to), but as of late he seems to be slipping a little. To initiate any newbs into this, if you are unfamiliar with this forum it helps to know that the devs don't really like topics outside of this game due to the possible 'flame wars' that almost inevitably follow. This is understandable since they do have to moderate

I like having it there. I usually build a starport on it, then I just buy the ships from it and use them to shore up the defenses of my home world. This is usually what I do as well. Still haven't played the beta so I can only take what other people have said about the terraforming at their word. The only other real use I find for this low PQ pl

Okay, guess I have to repost... I see that this thread, as well as the "Mumble made me do it" has died and I felt that it was time to resuscitate it once more since these little breaks from game talk are needed from time to time and it also allows us to see a little more of our fellow forum member's character, lending a little bit of a personal atmosphere to the very impersonal internet as a whole. So now without further ado... The other day at work we were talking about thieves in ge

Wow. I've been quietly observing this thread and I am fascinated by the amount of thought (and words!) that you all are pouring into this concept. First of all I am quite surprised that Wheeloffire hasn't made his voice heard throughout all of this... an interesting thing in itself, of course. My main reason for chiming in on all of this is purely to give 'kudos' of a sort to those of you who have really been trying to put an intelligent effort into this idea. Personally the Metaverse

Floppy disks!! Actually wouldn't thumb drives be more appropriate, don't you think Evil Stormbringer? Nah, I recently watched Sixteen Candles with the wifey poo and the scene where they bet some 'old school floppies' vs. the geek getting the girl's underpants has just been tumbling through my brain ever since. I remember the going comment was

Guess I really didn't need a NASA super computer and the blood of a virgin after all. Oh, you will... you most definitely will need that and a bunch more... like maybe the blood of twelve virgins (they have to be blonde, did anyone mention that to you?)and enough hard drive space to keep your criminal record once you sacrifice the little bimbos.

Ahem, uh... one more question guys but I was wondering if my assumption is correct. My mobo has a 24 pin connection. Most of the psu's I've been looking at say 20+4. Now I assume that this means it will work fine with my mobo and the option to 'break' off four pins to enable a 20 pin connection is what the feature of 20+4 is. Am I correct? If not, then it seems that there is a very limited amount o

Hey guys, you've all been awesome with the support and info and I REALLY appreciate it. I'm still crunching the numbers on a handful of models, all of which seem to hit in the 100.00 to 150.00 range. Basically I want to get a psu that will 'grow' with my measly system as I learn more myself, and the specs above were from one of the main picks. My hat is off to you gurus for the wealth of info which you seem to hold regarding any and all computer info. Honestly all of these numbers begin to give

On the upgrade route though, there are still plenty of 939 PCIe motherboards out there. Not only are there a bunch out there, the price is under 200.00. Add the gcard and you're looking at another 200.00 to 350.00 pending on what you get. I've had no issues with my 7600GT and it is SLI ready so I'm set for the future if I decide to run two card

And many thanks to you as well Mumblefratz. I will try your suggestion over the weekend and see if I can't get the old 'home network' up and running. Figure I might as well utilize the old PC instead of relegating her to the dust bin... and no I wouldn't part it out for the measly couple of bucks I would get for my antiquated components. Forgot to add... my old PC was using XP. Will this make a difference in what you've told me? And a thank you to you as well psilontech.

Thanks Kryo! Even though the computer didn't have OS discs per se (it has the recovery set up on a separate partition) they did send me a set when there were some 'issues' with the OS. I imagine what you were getting at was pretty much the same thing then, correct? And obviously I would want to use the discs, not the partition, right? Like I said, sometimes the answer/procedure isn't so obvious to me so if I seem like a moron... it may be because I am. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T

Okay here goes... I was wondering if anyone here knows exactly what steps to take to clear a virus off of a system. Basically, I have an older HP that I was considering networking at home and using it for some 'tests' of a sort. I'm not that savvy with these things and wasn't sure how to go about 'cleaning up' my system. Hell, I'm not even sure that the old system even has a true virus, but it does some funky things and won't save or acknowledge a few simple things, like how many items to keep

It's a good time to jump on the dual-core bandwagon. An E6300, a decent P965 chipset board and a gig of DDR2-667 with a 7900GS will make for a very capable and upgradable system. Just don't forget to make sure the psu has enough power to handle what you are going to do... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/Tongue.gif" border=0

Well you should want it, I have to disagree here. What does the average citizen know about foreign policy or relations for that matter? Sorry guys, I wasn't thinking about the 'masses' of uninformed people who unfortunately do outnumber those of us who wish to keep our minds 'enlightened'.
