[quote who="Darkreaver1980" reply="3" id="2154834"]Dont worry....yesterday, there was over 200 games at once going on....thats plenty...each game had 2 to 10 peoples.

Gah, I can't wait for Friday (payday) so I can pic

How many games/people are on at peak hours? Only thing I'm worried about regarding Demigod is that the community will die out before I even get a chance to play. :/

So how is Demigod's Online looking right now? in Demigod Stardock Forums

Just wanted to know how many people are on, how balanced the gameplay is at the moment, how the matches are flowing, so on and so forth. I will be buying the game Friday no matter what and I can't waitttt to get into the pantheon. :D I just want a little heads up from the community if things are doing better now. I have faith in Stardock and GPG, so I am not worried, I just want an idea of what to expect once I get the game. I realize there's been some problems lately with the ga

Reply to GameBizBlog Interview with Brad Wardell in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I hate those stupid fucking "pirates". They should be arrested. They claim they are all about freedom of information and such, yet they are stealing from someone who puts thier soul into something, trying to make a living. It goes against freedom and capititalism... piraters, are lazy, selfish, dumb, and absolutely immoral idiots, who deserve to be shot. Get a fucking job, and quit being the pieces of shit that you are.

Reply to Demigod Status Report: Saturday in Demigod Journals Stardock Forums

Frogboy... It may be possible to connect users who simply can't connect by using Tor, an Onion Router. Since some users are restricted by their ISPs because of the Peer to Peer netowrking, a "bridge" created by a Tor user, could provide a breakway point for a gamer trying to connect to Demigod. He/she would be able to bypass their ISP, thus allowing them to play. :) Partly speculation, but give it a look and see if it works. Tor is an onion router that covers your connection from onloo

Truly amazing. Vy Canis Majoris is scary in size.. and that's just the biggest star that we know of. And to answer Teslas question about the Solar system... the diagram is showing how big each of the planets are in relation to the sun, not the actual solar system itself, however, there are stars that are *gasp!* bigger than our entire solar system. Kinda scary. And to think that each of the stars listed above are only in our galaxy, truly speaks for the size of the universe.

Reply to My First FIOS Problem in Internet Stardock Forums

I will definitely be upgrading to FiOs as soon as it is made available in my area. You know you don't have to get the Phone line and tv service though right? They have strictly internet services as well, that are cheaper with more speed. Either way, FiOs seems to be a great deal and I can't wait to sign up for it. It's about time the US started catching up to the rest of the world in terms of internet speed.

[quote quoting="article"]Hi gang!What an exciting day! I've spent literally the last 40 or so hours playing Demigod on-line or working with people on the Demigod in game chat to show them how to debug some issue or other with either their PC, their router, or some flaw in Demigod.For those of you having trouble getting multiplayer games going, I apologize. You know, funny thing about running a game developer/publisher. You look at every game that launches with some multiplayer con

Reply to 6 Degrees of Separation in Misc Stardock Forums

Wow, that's pretty neat. Could be possible. I personally think it could be, simply because we are made up of matter. Maybe matter reacts better with other forms of similar matter? Maybe that could explain why we feel more attached to certain items, people, locations etc than others... because our matter "feels right" being in proximity with that particular thing/object/person and it's composition of matter. Could also maybe explain soul mates.

Clearing up confusion (response to my last post) in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Okay. I gotta say, a lot of people took my previous blog "Science and God (one and the same?) quite the wrong way. I suppose part of it is my fault, I wrote it when I was very tired and hadn't developed my thoughts clearly enough. So, first off, I wanna say... that the blog title was very misleading and it seems a lot of people were basing their responses based off the title alone. Anyway, to clear up the confusion, it was just a speculative post based off a sci-fi book I had read. So

Reply to Demigod is early in Demigod Journals Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="article"]As some people know, Gamestop violated the street date of Demigod and released it last week. There have been plenty of discussions about whether Gamestop did this intentionally or not which I won’t go into here. Obviously there have been some significant consequences as a result:First, it was Easter weekend. And many of us had just finished a good solid 8 weeks of massive crunch and were looking forward to the weekend to recover. Instead, we found ourselves back

Reply to Science and God (One and the same?) in Everything Else Stardock Forums

I didn't say God existed. That's exactly my point, God doesn't exist. What I said science could prove, is the concept of god. It would show that the concept of god is nothing special, only a set of mathematical equations, formulas, and so forth.

Science and God (One and the same?) in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Has it ever occured to anyone that, over the course of history, humans often come to the conclusion that anything that cannot be explained at the moment is automatically considered to be supernatural? For example, the Greeks. They had a god for just about anything that they could not explain with their means of science or technology at the time. How else could they explain the torrent of fire and molten lava that spwes out of a volcano? By claiming that Hephasteus is simply working in his for

Reply to Spore a huge disappointment in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="article"]So, who else thought Spore was lots of hype and no game? It had builders, sure. But there was no game.Games require challenge. The only part that had any challenge whatsoever was the cell stage, and that was the shortest stage. The creature stage tactics were like the rest of the game, sterotyped and unintriguing. The social game was stupid and overly easy. A memorization puzzle or something would have made it 100x better. The fighting was not like an FPS whatsoever,

Reply to PC gamers more ethical than game companies give credit in Demigod Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="article"]As most of you know, Stardock games ship with zero copy protection.That means someone could take Demigod and post it up somewhere. But so far, no one has even though Gamestop violated their agreement and released the game early. So the potential for "0 day warez" with Demigod is more so than most any other game because there's nothing to "crack".We (Stardock) have always taken the position that people are fundamentally honest. I tend to think that things g

That is true, and I understand that. I have quite a few games that recieve lower scores but that, to me, I find to be better games than those that scored higher. And what I ment by walking into a store and buying a random game, yes there's a chance you might come across a dud, but you'd atleast be able to go home and play the game through without any outside influence subconciously telling you what to play or not. It's easier to form your own opinion about the game, and chances are sin

Annatar, I refuse to watch reviews anymore. I think it takes away from the experience of playing a game. Let's say a game you've been looking forward to is about to come out... and well, you log onto your favorite review site one day and it gets a shitty review. You decide to buy the game anyway. But unfortunately, after reading his rant... you're no doubt going to go in to the game EXPECTING it to be bad whether it really is or not. I think reviews are another thing that are gonna bri

Reply to The State of Console Gaming Today. in Everything Else Stardock Forums

[quote who="zndkwin" comment="1"]Hmm, i find difficult to understand your views seeing that you say that console games are trying to "imitate" pc games? Funny you say that, since, nowadays, most if not all big name titles are made first for the consoles and then months later ported to the pc as an afterthought. So in any case, it's the other way around, PC games struggle to imitate their console counterparts. Another thing i didnt understand is, you say you dont like the curre
