Reply to Is gaming on a netbook feasible? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Of course you can. I just got a dell Studio with 2.6 2 core duo with 6 meg cache and 4 gig ram and a radeon graphic card and it certainly kicks. A desktop will always be more powerful but I like having a pc that is portable. I can play most games. People who say you can,t are just purist.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations II and its expansions in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Galciv is the only space strategy game I have ever played. I am more of a Fantasy player myself. However once I tried galciv2 I was hooked. There is just so many different possib ilities when playing that game that's it's way out there. You can play with as many opponenets as you want in a univers as big as you want. You can try and be a xenophobe species or the biggest merchant in the univers. You can be a manipulator and pull the strings from be

Reply to @Frogboy - This is a job for YOU! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Stardock is proving with sales which is what is most important to most developpers that DRM is not necessary. Pirates usually are n ot paying customers anyway. So why waste time. We the players pay for items when we like the items. This is being proven right now. DRM is not necessary. Something a lot softer is all that is needed.

Wow you guys make for an interesting read. I lie in Quebec canada, and our healthcare is not perfect in any way. There are long waits for some things and when you want to go to the emergency room sometimes you can wait up to 24h before you get service. Of course when you have to wait that long it's usually ebcause you have nothing serious and you could of stayed home and tough it out. That is what I think our bigest problem is with "free" healthcare. People get a paperc

Reply to Plasma or LCD in Everything Else Elemental Forums

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="23" id="2010324"]You know, if you don't really need to buy your own digital converter box, now is probably not the best time to get a digital TV. If you're willing to wait several months, prices will probably drop a good bit, after this whole analog switchover thing shakes out. Everyone else is upgrading their TV's right now because of the switchover, which keeps the prices up. Once that buying frenzy blows through, the Japanese will

Reply to Anyone else worried about combat? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

[quote]The tactical combat in MoM (Master of Magic) was quite a bit of fun and from what little I've seen of Elemental, it looks like it's going the same way. If you want a somewhat more contemporary preview, take a look at Age of Wonders. This was a great game in the mold of MoM, just as Elemental appears to be. Unfortunately, it also suffered from the same fatal flaw as MoM; brain dead, hero suiciding, mind numbingly bad AI. You pretty much had to control every move of every unit or the AI

Reply to Globalization, Global Warming, and Overpopulation in Everything Else Elemental Forums

This is a huge topic. I am still not sure who is right but I do have a few questions #1: as there ever been temperature variation similar to what we are experiencing happening in the past? If so then it is possible that this is just a cycle. #2 most of the CO2 that is suppose to be warming our planet will stop once we have used up our fossil fuel or am I mistaken? If so then before we reached the end of this century this will be resolved. #

Reply to Mario Kart Wii Playing with friends in Everything Else Elemental Forums

I do not find it to hard. At times I do get a few uber players But then I still get a few chances here and there to finish first. But my question was when I play with friends in the friends menu we only race with each other. Meaning if we are 3 we only have a 3 person race. I want to know if there is a way to be more and still play with my friends?
