[quote]You know what would be more disturbing? Valve striking a deal with Microsoft, by which Steam becomes a windows service required for windows to run, on all computers. Your windows logins become steam logins too. [/quote] Didn't MS already go through that with a so called required IE. That would sound like the makings of another anti-trust suit
Well, I was a one of the naysayers. "oh it's just slightly updates SC", or "How the hell can they be doing this and that". After spending some time with it at a friends. OMG! It may actually be worth it. Just fricken awesome from what I've seen. And for someone like me only interested in SP campaign or skirmish, there is already hacks out where you never have to let it online for anything. Win!
Hate to hear that about BFG. Have used nothing but them for years and have no complaints. Still have one of their 6800OCs in a PC I threw together out of my old parts for my g/f. One of the two fans stopped working several years ago and it still never overheats and keeps chugging along.
[quote]Want to see what real RTS is? Have a look at 300 actions a minute. Clickfest is what you get with RTS.[/quote] That is nuts. I don't see where the fun is at that point. You have no time to actually enjoy the game. I guess you throw fun out the window when making a career out of it.
[quote]I guess it's not likely they don't see certain things like this until it explodes and affects a lot of people. VAC is an automated system, and if/when it ever has a false trigger it will affect many people, and this isn't the first time this has happened.[/quote] And your final sentence explains it all. Incorporating an automated system that has already failed with no checks or balances. Guilty until proven faulty software. Then for them to say their hands are tied and that VAC
These corps always pull that shit. They have no interest in making it right until it blows up and becomes bad press.
Finally the regular Joes win one. And gamers take note of the last paragraph. I have always pretty much ignored our pro-corporate/anti-consumer government on such matters, but they finally get one right. Anything I buy, I own and alter as I see fit anyways. For those though that were afraid to take control of their products via some sort of legal backlash can finally have at it. :)

Wonder how long till someone takes the opportunity to ridicule the iCantPostPad. :) Ok maybe I just did in a way ;) I would think with many Stardockians having and posting from ipads on the forums, that if a universal problem existed it would of been made known on here by now. Makes it sound like it may be a somewhat unique issue.
I think it was the suit in Halo that was called spartan, but it's been a long time to remember right. Halo 2 was my last outing with the franchise, which leads to my next comment. Why would peeps think this would be a Halo game? Wouldn't Bungie be working on that? Then again it's a console developer, so they could be long dead and gone and I probably wouldn't know. I would look forward to something along the lines of AoE, but I doubt this is it. The style is kinda childish loo
While I am definitely on the PC, mouse/keyboard side of things, I can't imagine trying to play MotoGP or some of my other racing games without my trusty Logitech Controller. I still have the mouse/keyboard for my Dreamcast and the keyboard adapter(PS2 type) for my Saturn.
On North Korea; Same shit, different year. On U.N.; A bunch of hot air. Their sanctions have yet to initiate compliance for anyone they have put them on. See a similarity? Neither is worth the time or the wasted effort of worrying about.
[quote]Something interesting, XP CDs(and maybe other CDs as well) can only be installed three times before the CD corrupts.[/quote] Now that's a new one. I have installed off my XP CD probably 15 times over the years without issue. I had a similar issue last year with the Winantivrus 2009 malware virus thing. Would think I got it just for it to pop back up in couple of days. A new install was the only thing to stamp it out permanently. Not sure about XP since i've always had t

On one hand, charging for MP would effect me very little. On the other hand, it is just wrong. If they would actually reduce the price for SP only I might even go for it on a title or two, but we know that will never happen.
I have had it happen a time or two, but it must of been over three years ago. Is your game updated? It was so long ago I don't remember if I found a solution. I may have even had to start a new game.
TA does have a hole in the diplomacy regarding that, but it is really up to how you feel personally whether it's an exploit or not. In a single player game there's no one to cheat but yourself. :)
Wow. Seems assbackwards to give people all the origin stories and freedom of character choices just to go back to RPG basics with the sequel.

The best thing we could hope for is that all the talent that made Blizzard great will leave to form their own studio and Give Activision the finger. Assivision seems to be doing all they can to forever tarnish a once great company.
While you gain an advantage early on, it can hurt you later not having all the abilities you passed on for speed. Population growth, Economics and Morale are all ones that can have a huge impact as the game goes on, whilst +2speed seems less important as the turns pile up.
You only get the battle viewer during fleet to fleet combat IIRC.
I've been resisting tying any more games to Steam for a while now, but this one might have to be an exception.

So, back to the OP... Is there some place I can donate to the price on Kotick's head. Figure it shouldn't be too long till a (possibly slightly imbalanced) hardcore fan of one of the franchises he's trying to destroy goes to "talk" to him. I just hope they get the asswhoopin up on youtube.
The easiest way to get the mod to show in game is to navigate to your Documents/MyGames/GC2Twilight( or Ultimate Ed.'s equivalent) and find the Prefs.ini file . Open it with notepad and find the line that looks something like this: ModsDir=D:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock Games\GalCiv2\DarkAvatar\Mods\High-Resolution Graphics Mod v1-2 Yours may be a little different being Ultimate edition, but close enough to the example. Just rewrite it to point to the HiRes mod's fold
Even though I don't console game anymore i still pay some attention to E3 for all the new gimmicks and such. The gimmicks though were the downside this year. At this point the consoles are getting old, sales rates are slowing and obviously MS and Sony have no new real hardware to show. Instead we get Kinect with things like Kinect Sports(sound familiar?) and an almost blatant ripoff of the Wiimote in Sony's Move. Nintendo is the only one that seems on the ball showing not only new hardware, b
I had the same thing a few years ago with Google's little spy proggy(Google was new, I was young*er.That's my story at least) Lesson learned and no one's toolbars have been on any of my browsers since.
