[quote who="Darvin3" reply="16" id="2693374"] LOL I could put together a PC that would be 4x more powerful than a PS3 for a little over a grand. At the start of the console generation you'd need to go for 2 grand to beat the consoles, but these days the opposite is true; you can build more powerful machines for less than the cost of the console. The problem is you need to custom-build to do that, and most people just won't put in the effort.[/quote] Not even then. When

I think this article from Time Magazine brings to light the realities and misconceptions that controlled substance decriminalization brings. It doesn't mean for sure we would have the same results in the US, but it does show that decriminalization doesn't result in rampant drug use.

Reply to [0.92][3C][BUG] Cloth map is dissappearing in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

I had nearly the same problem. However, I got those results after I went to the options screen and turned off auto turn. I had opened the options screen a couple of times already without a problem. I tried to turn on cloth map only but it didn't work, but I didn't try turning it back off to see if it brought back the graphics. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6040489/Elemental0_92-2010-07-20T01-44-09-175.zip</a

Reply to RTS is glorified Tetris. in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I do like the statement that if RTS is glorified Tetris than TBS is glorified Tic Tac Toe. But anyone who thinks every RTS has no strategy and is only about building a bigger army has no idea what they're talking about. RTS has important strategic decisions - tech up, expand, build army, ect. Than there's the decision what to build. If I build the wrong unit combination than I'm at and inherit disadvantage. The great thing about RTS, imo, is that you can actually change the ou

[quote who="Maxxedmk" reply="1841" id="2685803"]I wanted to ask, my previous post about another Stargate related mod, did you guys want to use it, or do you already have content from it you need, or are you just going to make your mod completely different from this one, and this one will not be needed at all? Because I found it and figured it may help you guys out since it is related, and has a lot of things looking good... Tell me what you decided so I can know.[/quote]

Most people don't have these issues. Clearly there is something wrong on your end. The only crashes that are somewhat normal is late game when the game reaches 2gb memory and causes a minidump.

LOL, any regular person will never need that kind of APM to be decent at RTS. If you want to be a pro, than yea, just like you better have ridiculous control on your fastball. Throwing 100 mph doesn't make you great, just like having 300 apm can be useless. You have to put it to good use. Also, tactics is a part of strategy. Bad tactics = bad strategy.

But that's Blizzard's thoughts that forcing RealID on the forums is a good idea that's the issue, not RealID itself. Personally, seeing the kind of crap that goes on the WoW (and SC2 beta) forums, I can't say I blame them for trying to do this. It's like a raging forest fire that only grows and grows.[/quote] <

Recently, as in this morning, Blizzard announced that with the launch of Starcraft 2 and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm that they would be launching new forums that required the use of real ID.

1) Certain spells require certain shards. I also believe they increase your essence or spell points, not sure on that one. 2) Glad you like city building, some think less highly of it. Balance is still being worked out, but the hope is that you could do either and have work reasonably well. The best strategy of course will eventually be nailed down, but things aren't to that point yet. 3) Frogboy(Stardock CEO) said he is implementing a system where monsters have different inte
