Reply to Disney World fun tips? in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

[quote] But I guess it must be different for Disneyworld because we don't have to pay extra for the fastpasses[/quote] That's good information to know about Disneyland. I'm thinking maybe a trip to SoCal is in order for us. I visited downtown Disney in Anaheim before, and my impression is that park may not singlehandedly justify a full-blown vacation from out-of-state, but there are plenty of other things in SoCal to do as well.

The fast pass is hardly unique to Disney. Most major amusement parks have them now. What really stinks on Soarin! at Epcot is, the Fast Passes almost monopolize the seats. Those waiting standby don't get on that much. It really, really sucks to wait in line on Soarin! without a fast pass. I don't think Epcot is primarily for adults at all, except for maybe the International part. My 12-year-old nephew liked Epcot the bes

Oh and another one: your 10-year-old I bet would like Lilo & Stich. That's at Magic Kingdom. They've got this stink bomb that's part of the ride. It's hilarious. I guess it's also getting to be the time of year when the water parks will be open. I don't have any experience with that. But they're there.

Sure thing. The best times to ride the rides with the really long lines are when the park first opens and when it's about to close. I would say the absolute worst wait time is Soarin! at Epcot. In fact if you don't get a fast pass you might not even want to bother. At your income, you probably should get Fast Passes for everybody. You've got more money than time--make the most of your time. When you're at Epcot, I like German

Where is Fallen Enchantress half off? I don't see that. I ask because $20 for Elemental + Fallen Enchantress is enough to put me over the edge. But I don't think I will buy just Elemental for $20, unless there's some cool patch I don't know about?

It's amazing how Brad just gets people to follow him. And if I'm sounding envious, I am. In the original story, here's Brad: "Impulse is starting to make too much money. I don't like that. Let's sell it." He's got his money, he just wants to focus his life on the fun stuff like designing games. And people folllow him! They follow him like a rock band leader, who goes off in whatever art

Reply to If the Hackers were not Bad enough - False Alarm in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

Remember how long it took for hotels to admit that all your comings and goings into your hotel room were being logged every time you swiped your card? What happened to the good old days when you were given a key? Some hotels still don't admit it to this day, and if you ask, they'll ask why you're asking.

Reply to If the Hackers were not Bad enough - False Alarm in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

This same thing happened in 2005 with Dell laptops, where a guy found a hardware keylogger. That was later "found out" to be a hoax. You got first a denial, from Dell, followed by an admittance, followed by another denial after it got through their PR department. With Samsung it looks like it went straight to admitting it, to denial. I think it's time we hacked into the keyboard drivers to spoof a flood of spurious keyboard events. It'

Reply to Brad, I have a Game Idea for Stardock in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Put yourself in the head of the guy who has to actually do the changes: "combat" is not an easy thing to add. I want to muck around with the planet tiles and give the planets more variety and character. I want more asteroids and make them more important. I want to give tiny hulls a fortification bonus in asteroids. It's much easier stuff to implement.
