nooooooo... I remember when they bought Bullfrog (Syndicate Wars, Populous, Dungeon Keeper). From this day on, it never produced anything while before it was inventing a new awesome game from scratch each time it created. From bringing material-bringer for next gaming generations to nihil. Someone said to me that EA is only corporate processing power with lots of PR. Maybe. I don't want
greywar, what did you dislike about Morrowind? I heard only praises until now, even if I didn't get many comments of it. But I really wonder what the guy ( Exorince) who posted this is doing... he seems like parachute-dropping this out of no-where as his first post. And I already saw those screenshots on GameSpot quite some time ago, no? If it's just publicity he's making for his game, I'd rather have no added spam-publicist... But anyway, I don't care too much for myself s
I have a Radeon 7500, which is 32MB (but DDR). erm... does double-density means it's actually counted as 63 SDRAM? It's not my computer which is so old, but it's simply a nice Centrino laptop not oriented towards games (don't even ask about my desktop...). So, how will my little Radeon 7500 do the job?... *hopes*
Whar changes planets is not the only the tilers, but the style. More dusty air? Europa style icy planet? How was it formed: Is it a forest green, rocky mineral rich, young or old planet, lots or little heat, close to its star, spinning like mad, with excentric orbit... but the players bothers about nothing of that, he justs looks tiles to play! Thus it can be overall more rocky, or is it overall more greens? Or is it Caladan-like (Dune), based on water and coasts? Is it all flat,

I consider this as anything immersing. Drugs also have added physiological dependence, but it doesn't mean that games aren't addictive just has drugs have psychological dependence. Solutions: But I think that a game which could assure players that it will have less such secundary effects would win some customers. A MMORPG which upgrades your player based on how wise your moves generally are instead of "who did the most" for example. Or a turn-based stra
I now intend to buy my laptop not from a shop but from someone else. But before, I'd just like to know: what can I expect from a 1-2 or 3 year old laptop in terms of durability, to which extent will it be affected? I tend to keep my computers a long time, so it counts (I kept my last computer 5 years). Someone knows the average lifespan of laptops? Or even better: anyone would know how to have an idea of the average lifespan of each brand
I just wonder... what are the potential solution in an economy to get this kind of mess to be less... inefficient? Just imagine the economic cost on international scale of such a swamp! Inefficiency can never be entirely erradicated as nothing can reach perfection, but any "educated guess"?
Night Train: Agreed. I guess I will aim at getting good brands from eBay, since I can't chose precisely when it comes from auctions. But even then, older laptops show a few drawbacks like durability and warranty.
If they deliver in ONE week, seems short but ok. I'm looking at second hand ThinkPad too, since they have a reputation for being undestructible. About Dell: They are cheaper, but I was said that they cut the price by taking cheaper components. I built my desktop exclusively with QUALITY component, and if Dell doesn't do that they are then the opposite of Apple/IBM (and my desktop). Better pay a quality premium since it's worth it on the long haul, no? So is what I heard for Dell
o_O Overall: In laptop-brands world, everyone is contradicting everyone. I was said that IBM, Toshiba and Vaio were the most reliable (higher price, higher quality components/lower numbers). Some say Toshiba is unreliable, some the opposite. Would most knowing laptops well agree on Toshibas or else? About HP: The problem with HP is that their video is worst than my 5 years desktop. Intel onboard video card? Well.... 32VRAM nVidia seems better than 128VRAM Intel.<b
To start with, thanks to everyone! I'm a bit limited in my options, since I have around 1000-1200 US$ budget I'm not aiming at gaming really as go more for apps... but I don't like to see that much CPU/RAM unused neither I was said that Toshiba and IBM were the mo

[QUOTE]I'm trying to think if all my girl friends have less tolerance for being frustrated by games or not; I know that the guys will throw their controllers (or other objects) across the room if they get frustrated with a game, but they'll usually come back to it unless the game is truly awful. [/QUOTE] I was going to write some reply and read this new reply of yours.... it fits what I was going to write. From about 4PM to midnight, I just played a game of Risk 2210 with 2 other guys a
I'm getting my first laptop and I'll keep it a looooooong time. I hope a few can help. I built my own desktop so I know components... 5 years old. I want quality components to be balanced towards each other, not be strictly gamer oriented for example. Anyway, here's what I found: Toshiba M30 PSM30C-7101U Centrino 1.5 ghz, 512m, 60gig, 15.4" wide nvidia GeForce FX GO 5200 64m, cd-rw/dvd-rom, Harman Kardon Stereo speakers, etc… Com

I'm happy I brought something, as I was not sure at all what was already known or unpertinent to Society. As any Society optimist (and experienced "MMOTBS/RTSer"), I'll be happy to discuss/look whattever OGame/alliance aspect if someone is curious. Society might benefit greatly from some marketting on the most popular web-based "MMORTS/MMOTBS" websites, to ignite a black powder-style word-o

Modders will loooove that one.
I'm not bored at all, I liked the graphics And welcome to Jesse! (okay okay... I know I'm not on Stardock's dev team but since I saw a week ago that my present graphic card cannot beta test GalCiv2, I have to do something )
The mayor, Brad Wardell, was so pissed off that... EDIT: Lord Heronitas, to get in the beta you need to preorder the game (and I propose you consider taking the whole TotalGaming package: VERY worth it for me)
I'm playing to OGame (www.ogame.org) since a while now, and I even subscribed. No graphic as it is web-based, but still strategy, and still "real time" (producing a ship/building/defense takes X minutes). So here are aspects specific to OGame's subscriptions, and my comment with it; hopefully it might teach a thing or two. So here's what comes when someone subscribes instead of simply getting the free version: <br
Depends which... doesn't fit on my present TNT2 Ultra.
:surprised: Ok... Anti-Drengin Plan B: new laptop: Centrino, 64VRAM But what's this thing about the TNT2 vs DX9 relation? Is DX9 the product of a conspiration to destroy TNT2s and bring nVidia some income?
Yep yep... and being bigger it has more effects (on ingenuity, innovation, quality...). but with the same outlook, I'd now say "and Stardock". I think that I saw many companies until now, and I stick to this. And the other side of the medal would be Microsoft and EA perhaps
I tried GC2 for the first time... or I tried to. It blocked twice at the loading of whattever follows the screen where you pick your opponents. First time: it just closed the program. Second time: Froze everything (except mouse cursor... which could do absolutely nothing). Need to reset, alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del useless) It's my parent's computer and they don't even know what a driver save a guy in a car. Still, I built this machine so it's
