Don't anybody move... I'm going to make popcorn and read this thread again... That was an awesome read. So far I like Gal Civ 2 better than Endless Space. Though the interface in Endless Space is really pretty. Maybe it's like when you're little and you eat ice cream for the first time. Thereafter that's what ice cream tastes like and nothing else ever quite measures up. [e digicons]:beer:[/

This irks me a bit. I'm happy Stardock is making more money by going digital but... as a collector I am a little annoyed. Perhaps the unsold copies will go onsale internationally. (I hope that big "PG" thing isn't actually on the box cover.) I ordered the collectors edition but I would like to sit this box next to it in the case. Anybody know how to get a copy from Australia? Maybe Nat from Community Channel will help me. Hmmm...

My biggest problem playing muti-player is, wait for it..... TIME! When I played mulit I didn't mind getting beheaded. And I learned a lot. But the big problem is time. I have kids. Who don't wait to pee, eat, read me a story and my favorite "She keeps spitting on me!" These all require near instant response times. So rather than get all crazy with them when I play anything, unless they are asleep (and I have pulled all nighters and really fe

You know what I didn't like about this game? When a random monster could walk into a town and destroy it really quickly. Play for 3 hours and your best city is demolished. It should be more like the city is just inconvenienced by the monster. Some penalty for some time. Or the monster raids the town and makes off with a princess/prince (whatever) and a quest is generated. I was real excited about this game and I think it still has potential.

Radio Shack Color Computer (or CoCo as it were) Had chicklet keys and you had to hook it up to a little TV for a monitor. Used a tape drive that constantly failed. It was good for learning basic and assembly. I have fond memories of the hours wasted retyping stuff that wouldn't load. Yeah, good times.

I've always preordered practically every major title I've bought from GameStop. It's been part of the fun with my kids staying up late and going to GameStop at 12 midnight to pickup the new titles. You're their with all the truly obsessive fans, some of them in full costume, talking about the game. The kids like the theatre and the pageantry. I'm just happy I can share it with them. Sometimes you get extras for preordering as well like posters

I don't want to start a flame war but I like GameStop. My local GameStop is staffed by gamers. They are great people and I have a lot of fun when I go there. So lets not forget that our "peeps" need actual jobs and storefronts provide those. My son is 16 and I would much rather hear him saying, "Would you like to take a look at the Collectors Edition?" than "Would you like to try an apple pie today?" And before I am attacked for that I respect all jo

When I play Sins I mostly play Sacrifice of Angels 2. Can't help it. Someone hands you the one thing that gave you joy as a child/teenager; first you squeal then you run away with it before they take it back. [e digicons]O:)[/e] I look forward to SoA2 in Rebellion (will it be SoA3?). I just wish there was some way to distribute links to all the major mods so that more people would know about them from day one. Then they would revel in the wonderful

I played my second online game against Itchynail. He crushed me and 3 other players. He was polite and answered some of my questions. (Which has improved my play dramatically. [e digicons]:grin:[/e] ) So 3 cheers for you sir. And thank you for your help. It was much appreciated.

So Microsoft is using their position in the current market place to put a choke hold on a user's freedom in the name of "their security"? Sounds like a desperate attempt to scare people into doing what's best for Microsoft. Why are the other manufacturing giants fallen in line with this?

Look for the mod Sacrifice of Angels 2. Go to Moddb.com and take a look around. I'm biased but there are so many unbelievable mods. They will take you places you never knew existed. The modders are going to take a while to figure out Rebellion and some of the mods will never be ported to Rebellion. Plus I like playing Vanilla Sins and Entrenchment; it's like having an old friend over for a beer. And if you're really going to just pull the plug

The games I have played online were very educational. Like when someone stomps on you with a big boot with nails sticking out of the bottom of it. The player who stomped on me (and several other players) was however nice enough to answer some questions and give me some pointers. I am a better player now because of him. And he was also nice enough to joke around a little. So to recap: go stomped, learned and was treated with kindness. That
