Anyone who has played video games for any amount of time has that one instant, that one experience in a game that overshadows all others and becomes part of the driving reason they continue to play. Be it unlocking that secret level, reaching the end of a compelling story line, or finally beating that impossible boss using nothing more than a rubber band and some sma
I also was able to prevent an enemy ship from moving by keeping it selected. I felt so powerful! I could control the entire galaxy through the other empires! I can almost hear the paniced conversations in the offices of various galactic leaders... "What do you mean the entire population of our whole empire just blasted off into space?!!?" "It appears they all had some strange urge to take an intergalactic vacation.. I hear the beaches on Korbal Minor
I'm excited that I'm finally coming up on the 100 article point after a year and a half on the site! Then I look at the rest of you with hundreds of articles to your name and it takes me down a peg back to reality
Is there any chance of having self-lit ships as an option we can tweak/disable? I personally prefer the darker look to the game than the glowing ships we have now. Just a personal bias of mine
Cookie Monster was always the perfect example of psychotic over-indulgence. If my memory serves, he'd eat a lot of cookies but usually get sick afterwards. And while every kid I knew wished he could eat cookies like that, none of us ever tried. Even in preschool we knew we'd get sick doing that. Cookie Monster... it's all in the name! He's a monster, that eats cookies... that's his schtick! What next? Oscar The Grouch gets anger counceli
I don't know how long this bug has been here, I actually just noticed it today. If you find an enemy planet that has a ship garrisoned at it (has the shield icon), you can launch that ship into space! This is especially fun if the enemy ships are colony ships. I took one planet by emptying out its entire population onto ships and then sending in a transport with a small handful of troops. Also, you can control any ship you see on the map, or go in and mod
I think you missed my point by a hair there imajinit. This was partially humor based, partially reality based. I do not blame it entirely on technology, but it has had an impact on me that I can not deny, especailly because I started heavy use at such an early age. I also was not seriously diagnosing myself with anything, just saying that I show some signs that happen to overlap with Adult ADD. Overdoing it with computers is like kids overd
It was part of ThinkGeek's April Fools Day joke set Another fun one was iCopulate. Hook two iPods together for some pod-on-pod file swapping action!
We definitely benefit from the fact that the test community is pretty small. It's nice to have direct access to the dev team when we have questions or issues, makes me feel like I actually have some impact on how the game shapes up
Going that early and that late, to me, negates the energy saving benefits as you end up with very short days on either end still. You're not actually shifting the day to get sunlight earlier at that point. Also, that leaves three months to Standard Time. Why not just abolish the whole time shift completely?
You've also made claim that the people aren't smart enough to know what they want. Which is it? Too stupid to make a choice, or the voice that must be heeded? And polls are highly inaccurate as they tend to get skewed, or they don't sample voting persons exclusively. The only true indicator of agreement or disagreement is an election.. Guess who won?
I still think he represents the majority of this nation far better than any other candidate did. I voted against him, but recognize that I'm in the minority. You make claim after claim of what the majority wants when it has clearly been shown in the past set of elections that the majority (the ones that vote at least, and to be honest they're the only ones who really matter) supports Bush and his right-of-center policies. He's doing exactly
Functional, Attractive and Delicious! Three features I feel companies need to work harder to incorporate into their electronics. Though I don't know how well this laptop would sell, what with the Atkins craze and all. Maybe if it was made with splenda
Leave it rotatable. I like the diamond sometimes.
Reiki, I'll reiterate what was said on your own post about this matter. Blacklisting is removing an individual who you regularly feel does not contribute to your articles. Deleting Comments is selectively removing feedback that does not jive with what you want to have said about your article. One is preventing someone from entering the conversation, the other is deciding what they're allowed to say, deleting anything you do
My blacklist has ONE person on it. Aeryck. That's an issue of strong personal disagreement with that blogger and his style (deceptive blogging). And Gid is right about the difference between blacklisting and comment deleting. One is a blanket ban on a person, the other is selectively allowing comments to remain so as to make response look more favorable/back up your argument.
Yeah, I wasn't talking about the anonymous trolls really. I was talking about legitimate responses to an article from registered users. I hate the anon flamers as much as anyone does, and I've deleted them on occassion. Oh, and LW and I are both posting in response to the same thread
I would if I could remember exactly what I wrote. I don't save my comments or articles to my hard drive so it wouldn't quite match up. I try to not let the behavior of other bloggers get to me, but it's this sort of behavior that always manages to drive me nuts.
Three days after making the jump in Queenstown, we were were back in Auckland getting ready to catch our flight back to Los Angeles and the good 'ole U S of A. In Auckland you'll find the Sky Tower, tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere clocking in at an amazing 328 meters (that's roughly 1076 feet for us not using metric). At the Sky Tower, they have something called a "Base Jump". You jump from almost the top of the tower to a base platform
We've all seen it, someone posts a blog on some topic that really gets people going. It either rouses some passionate response, or some insult, or sometimes it's simple disagreement. This is actually what makes JU so much fun at times, getting feedback (both positive and negative) on what you write. Why then, are there people who post about something, and then get
bldrose7 - Your latest post did clear up a lot of my confusion, and does clear up my misconceptions on the matter. As the idea was written originally though it had all the markings of an end-game Ultra-weapon and I had trouble seeing how that design could be effectively balanced. I like your idea on a number of points, and it has potential. However I still think there should be wider-galactic impacts to your empire for the use of a weapon of mass dest
Like I've been saying, except for the minimap (which is a UI piece, and not a 3d item), you do have the square vs diagonal choice. Just rotate the map.
When I said 45 degree angle, I meant the rotation of the map as presented from a top-down view. Take a square and rotate it 45 degrees, it is now a diamond. Rotate it 90 degrees and it remains a square. I'm guessing you're talking about 45 degree view angle along the z-axis. You can rotate your main map so that it is square and then slide your view down to get that 45 degree isometric view. You only lose out on monitor space when you're dealing with th
I do not find it odd at all that Bush would go to PJ2s Funeral. He was a well respected and accomplished world leader. You can disagree with someone on points but still respect them. Many of my friends and I disagree strongly on any number of issues, but we're all still friends. Your attempt to jump on Bush over every damn thing discredits whatever valid points you may have. It also shines poorly on those of us on the left who are able to
