Reply to FE - Will the neutral monsters faction attack AI players and vice versa? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I haven't really kept an eye on what the AI's pioneers are doing, or what's no being done to them by the monsters :). Although, I did have the opportunity having both enemies spawn right next to me on a medium map. If this does happen, then it is kinda sad. And it would explain why their cities keep showing up in my neck of the woods, the ones infested with the armies of the damned and eternal death. Another thing comes to mind though, am I alone in wanting there to be som

Reply to [1.20a] Display Driver Has Stopped Responding but Has Recovered (Pseudo DX Error) in WOM Support Elemental Forums

I had the same issue on my old X1950 card in Elemental. It happened to me in the version of the beta patch that was out in early January. I hadn't changed any drivers for my card in ages, mostly since they stopped supporting int in 2009. https://forums.elementalgame.com/404570 I couldn't tell you if it still does that, but I can assure you, that it runs great on the video card from the contest :)

Reply to star ruler on sale this weekend in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I played the release version of the game last year. It wasn't really the final version, having a lot of things that needed fixing and updating, the game being made in essence by two people for most of the time. But the shear size of the galaxy you can generate blew me out of the water. If you've got a strong enough PC, you can add a million solar systems. It's received a lot of updates since release, and the stuff they want to add to the game sounds very awesome. So long t

Reply to The games you find truly groundbreaking, original, awe-inspiring and memorable in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

For me, it would have to be Ultima Underworld. That game was a 3D first person dungeon simulator-RPG, back when 2D first person mazes were considered to be first person shooters. It had physics, back most first person games didn't let you look up. It had multi-elevation surfaces, sloped floors and curved walls, back when everything else was a rectangle. So many good things happened because of that game. Heck, that's why we've got Bioshock, Thief and System shock and that&#

Reply to I miss OS/2 in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

 Being about the same age as it, and only dreaming of having a computer for most of that time, I didn't get a chance to see the OS/2 in action. But what I do miss about it are the jokes, which are just about the only relation I have with it. Jokes like: OS/2 VirusScan -- "Windows found: Remove it? [Y,Y]" Windows vs OS/2 = Michael Jackson vs Mike Tyson OS/2... Opens up Windows, shuts up Gates Microsoft gives you Windows... OS/2 gives you the whole house</p

Reply to Merlin in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

If it's the one about Merlin and Arthur when they were young, in Camelot, then I saw a few episodes of it, but didn't really keep my interest since it was more or less Smallville with swords. They even dressed Merlin like Clark Kent.

Reply to Crysis 2 in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I've finally got the full game. It can run on the extreme setting thanks to the awesome video card from the Design a spell contest, (thank you again folks). There are two, maybe three things that irk me about it. It's confusing as hell. At one point, the guy stops in the middle of combat, to get stabbed by an alien, then goes about it like nothing happened. The screen is so filled with static, blood and artifacts, that most times I don't know what's going on. T

Wasn't Gamestop evil? It's too early in the morning for me to process info, but would this mean that at some point Ubisoft and EA will remove the region restrictions for their games?

Reply to League of Legends in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I used to play it quite a lot until my old video card fried while in League of Legends( my advice, don't ramp up the detail, it will murder your top of the line card, no joke, keep the settings low). I especially loved the variety of the classes and they way they could be used to work with each other. I kinda hated the really cheap classes, like the ones that have near permanent stun. But they've probably balanced the classes over the last year a lot better. In

Reply to Did You Enjoy Your Trip To China? in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

Well, there's another good reason I blacklisted anything facebook related on Opera. That and the fact that for some reason anything related to it, even the slightest, took ages to load. And that's weird, I usually have a good connection with the US, the only area where them bits start crawling trough the mud is certain parts of Asia... wait... Oh My God! That explains everything. Well, maybe not, but still, it's an interesting tidbit to know.

Reply to The Stardock RPG in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

You're right, there was Maze War. What I should have said was that there were first person RPG games before the First Person Shooter genre was defined as it is today. I would also like the setting you mentioned, mostly because if it were set after the war with the titans, it would be a post apocalyptic fantasy game, and then it would clash with Age of Decadence.

Reply to The Stardock RPG in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Wasteland with modern graphics would be Fallout, seeing as how Fallout would have been Wasteland 2 if Interplay had retained the rights to the name. Although I can understand wanting an RPG with a top down perspective, RPGs with first person perspective existed long before the shooter was invented. As for the Stardock RPG, if you ever get around to it, my thoughts: Look at Bioware, go in the other direction.

Reply to X3, any good? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Actually you can point your ship at a planet and go there, but the distance is very big in space, so they use jump gates. In X2 I've crashed my Argon Discoverer into Argon Prime(the planet), even with SETA it took a long time to get to it, and all I did was burn up and explode in the atmosphere. Travel between systems without jump gates, even with maximum SETA, could take months in real time, so count yourself fortunate they have jumpgate and jumpdrives.

Reply to No Oceans: A Call for World Wide Release Dates in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Although the initiative is admirable, I would have started with: "Europe, one release date for all." Seriously, from the time Grey Matter(in perfect English) was available in Germany, to when I got it from someone who could buy of German Amazon(it think that's what it was), to when the exact same version was released in the rest of Europe, to when it was released on digital distribution(it's on sale on Impulse if you want a very good adventure), between all these, the game had

Reply to Crysis 2 in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I tried the MP demo on my old PC. They weren't exactly correct about it having lower system requirements than the first Crysis, but it runs on a 5 year old PC that won't even fit in the minimum system requirements. Not very well, but it is playable on something most games released in 2010 won't run. The first game ran at 20-50 f/s on medium on it. Not having accurate control from the interface regarding the graphics settings seems a bit counterproductive. I would have very much lo

Reply to Browser Wars in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I've been using Opera since I got a dedicated internet connection. It's had it's ups and downs, sharp computability drop after version 10.10(or .20), got a lot better afterwards. The previous build(not the current beta) is stable and reliable. The current beta for 11.11 has a bunch of computability issues with websites. What I like most about Opera is the keyboard commands, it makes everything a lot faster. I use it a lot for work, and trust me when I say, that if you ever work with a
