It looks good, as fogs of war go. Personally, I still prefer the one from Heroes of Might and Magic 2, it sparkled. Well, it just had some colored pixels in to brighten up the scene, but it did the trick.

You can find it here: http://fold.it/ I couldn't really make heads or tails in the 5 minutes I gave it attention. But I'm glad other people were more diligent.
Hehe, they were joking about making a sequel to Syndicate that would be truer to the source than the one Starbreeze was working on, before it was announced. Now, they're serious about it. The Paradox people are awesome, and totally not vampires.
I think I know the reason they made Amelie look like that on the cover of King's Bounty Armored Princess. It's so they can do this at Igromir

Four seasons are overrated. Down here we've also got mock-summer, almost-autumn, pseudo-winter and "YE ELDER GODS HELP US WE'LL FREEZE TO DEATH IN THE NEW ICEAGE". A good TBS beta would be nice during that last one, so would some woolly mammoths to hunt.
Thank you for sharing this. That reminds me, I've neglected my writing for the past two years. Although, maybe procrastinating wasn't a bad idea. The longer I leave the story to simmer, the better it gets, unless I start to forget things, which I sadly tend to do. The bit where I've been having trouble is defining characters. They started out as amorphous globs, each draft adding a bit more shape to them. At some point I intentionally put them in situations that weren'
You're right, he would be his own worst fear, The Dream Lord proved how much he hated himself.
Hmm, if I could fit Adobe Premiere on it as well, having it load faster would be a definite improvement, as it currently does take ages. Heck, by mid 2012, maybe prices will go down to the point where I won't have to drop 1TB on the storage HDD to afford it. Technological advancement, the ball's in your court, make me proud, but not broke. LE: The "uses up the number of writes faster than normal" is a bit ominous.
Out of curiosity, how noticeable of a performance boost does an SSD offer if you only keep the operating system on it? Not just booting, but other day to day stuff, I'm assuming it improves page filing. I'm asking because I'm thinking of getting one, but I won't be able to afford one that can fit more than you're average OS on it. Would it still be a good investment just for that?
Please, everyone knows The Big Giant Head ordered the killing of the dinosaurs. The last two episodes of Doctor Who were great, especially since the one with the one before wasn't all that cracked up. I'm really curious to see how/if/when/how they'll tie up the whole story, or even if they plan to do it in this season, considering there's only two episodes left. After all, there's still a lot of stuff unanswered from the previous season. But at least they tea
The budget for my new PC won't be approved until mid 2012, so I'll probably be getting the second generation Bulldozer, which comes with a new socket. For me, the real money saver will be the video card. The 5850 has performed well up until now, so unless they invent DirectX 12 and make it mandatory by then, I should be fine with it for a few more years. Heck, I managed with a x1950 until april. Out of curiosity, I looked at the price for an i7 processor, and it would seem tha
I've been thinking about similar setups for my next build, and since price is a serious issue, I'm going for an AMD setup. If you are considering going the AMD route as well, I would recommend waiting a month, just in case the new FX CPUs prove to be sufficiently better than the Phenom.
Well, you just snatched all my puns. Now all I have left is wanting to see an armadillo in the gallows, as a reference to Psycho Pinball. Are there any creatures in FE that sort of look like armadillos?
I'm still waiting to see that Lobster vs Scorpion fight. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-iPCTu61Z4 [/video]
I don't believe there is an Episode 3. Doug Lombardi mentioned that the initiative to produce episodic games failed, since they weren't really all that episodic, and they were considering returning to the monolithic development schedule. This was about three years ago. Combine that with Valve's obsession with quality, and you have the reason why Half Life 3 hasn't been released yet. My advice, keep calm and be patient, or at least go to that rally being held ou
I'm not familiar with half of the abbreviations you've used, but I share your sentiment and will look into it when I have a system that actually includes that stuff. It's the same with manufacturers making mice that have side buttons that are positioned horizontally, instead of vertically, like anatomy intended. It can drive you nuts.
That actually reminds me, I should get a dedicated sound card for the next build. I'm going to keep clear of Creative this time, since I discovered that the Soudlbaster Audigy that the current PC came with has lower recording performance than a century old integrated Realtek audio adapter from the back-up PC. The Xonar series looks interesting. How well would you say it handles audio input?
I actually do daily video editing, and a 5 year old rig that hasn't been treated all that well still does the job. Sadly, in order to get it to function with video files of higher quality, ones that I can edit in real time, I have to recode the video at a lower quality, edit it, and then replace it with the original. So in about a year and a half, I'll be switching to my fifth PC. I really hope I won't have the same headaches with drivers that Brad has had. I'll do my best to
MoM style population management. [e digicons]:smitten:[/e] Also, the random nature of city improvements sounds very appealing. It's nice to see that the game is going in a more unpredictable direction regarding progression, unlike Hero... Might and Magic Heroes 6, that just about abandoned that idea. Like a wise red dragon disguised as a man once said, "Mystery is important, to know everything is boring"
I can see it now: "Attention sovereign. Something just ate The Ruin of Summer, and is now headed to your capital, grab your ankles, keep your head down and think happy thoughts."
I understand what you mean, I remember trying to kill Gunther for hours on end after the airport scene, but was never able to, since he was immortal. But the game still let you be there, it didn't isolate the encounter in a cinematic, and you could still do certain things out of order, even if it was just for the sake of keeping up the illusion of freedom. It even gave you the option to deal with certain fixed issues, like bossfights, the way you wanted. The third bossfight
It's the same in my country, the public TV channel, which is now more or less a propaganda machine for the current dictatorship, is partly funded from taxes added to the electric power bill.
I understand that, but in DX1 you could short-circuit certain events, like plating a bomb under Anna Navare and saying bye bye, or just skipping over certain situations, like the hostage rescue in the subway. You can't really do things like that in Human Revolution. It's a much more linear progression that doesn't allow you to screw with the plot. It even keeps all the critical characters locked in cinematics or in areas you can't use your weapons, out of fear I may murder the
HoMM 2 is GOD!!! Finished Deus Ex H+, finally. The story structure, endings and absolutely no closure when it comes to 90% of the characters is by far the worst part of the game. Especially the story structure, that won't let you circumvent, alter, or muck about with events like you used to be able to in the first game. Still, the gameplay and atmosphere are good enough to make me ignore that.
