Very nice! By the way, if you want more readers. try posting in the "general" area of the galciv2 forum. You'll get more readers, and I doubt the moderators will care that it's there. After I finish my story I will be doing that.

Games you gave a try and liked in PC Gaming GalCiv2 Forums

Ever seen a game and just wanted to give it a try? Two games I tried and liked: Mount and Blade: This combat sim/RPG blows a lot of the major stuff away. Graphics aren't good at all, but the gameplay is. Amazing mod community. X3: Reunion: Was looking at this for a while and decided to try it. It was a great experience for me. Sucked up a lot of gameplay hours, but was still very enjoyable. The sequel, Terran Conflict, is also very good, but I haven't played it as much

I've never really regretted buying a game, but some just lost their charm: Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars: Very cool at first, but after the campaigns (never even finished them), the skirmish mode stunk, and I really didn't want to go online to get my butt kicked. Test Drive Unlimited: Got this a long time after it was released, didn't play the online version as I had no internet at the time. Again, I liked it at first, but it got boring. Medieval II Total Wa

Yeah, this is why I'm saving the third story for when GalCiv III is announced. Then there will be more activity in the AAR section.

I'm not sure what is going to happen. Should be interesting if it happens though. Roswell, well, no one is sure. If something did happen, the government had no right to cover it up. Contact with an extraterrestrial species is a serious matter, one that could change humanity.

[quote]As a conservative parent who used to be a 15 year old kid, I can be fair and understand your viewpoint. While I did not appreciate my parents filtering content for me when I was young I can now appreciate and understand why as an adult. We personally filter, as much as possible, all material viewed by our children and allow them to either view/play based on how we feel they will affected by the material. This varies by each kid as they all have different tollerances and understanding.

Reply to Karma system is bugged? in Forum Issues GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="Charvel1" reply="35" id="2441175"]Apparently I've gotten an influx of karma recently and I would love to read what the comments are but I can only see 3 of them. 2 are old and 1 new.

[quote]Also, how is the USA more conservative in the video games industry than any other nation?[/quote] This conservatism has come from a lot of sources, including politicians willing to exploit the controversies for their own gains. The main source, however, are conservative parents and media watchdog groups, like the "abstainance only" types. They are the ones that make a big deal about sex in games, and the media in general. I never understood why so many parents are oppos

Sex in Games/Media in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

(Before discussing anything, please keep your post within forum guidelines so this thread doesn't get locked) In my opinion, American culture and society involving technology, games, and the other media is seriously screwed up. Look at all the stuff about it. These days, its perfectly acceptable to show someone getting mutilated and a building being destroyed with untold numbers of innocent people dying, but when a boob is shown, or a sex scene, people heads freaking explode.
