I thought the parralells would be fairly obvious... it's only one of the most well known poems in existance :P Maybe I should do one based on 'do not ask for whom the bell tolls, friend, it tolls for thee!"
[quote who="Amranu" reply="2" id="2375147"]This is a bug with the Windows 7 RC, as someone who has the final, I can confirm it is fixed.[/quote] There is a partial bug fix floating around on the net using a vista version of dxdiagn.dll, as well. But that does screw up dxdiag...
[quote who="DoomBringer90" reply="1" id="2374946"]To the tune of Still Alive?[/quote] ... It's a parody of the poem 'the second coming', which is the second set of text.
I was bored, so sue me. (And Blame Para, he thought it was a good idea) The Beta's Coming Coding and Coding in the vanishing time The programmer cannot hear the gamer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere boredom is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is halted, and everywhere The ceremony of gaming is drowned; The best lack all arena, while the worst Are full of passionate nonsense. (on t
Looks interesting; I wanna be in the beta :D LOL
[quote]IIRC They changed plans, the expansion after Diplomacy won't be "micro". [/quote] That was the spec I heard last... when did they confirm it?
Doesn't it just figure I don't discover the bundle deal until after it's already over :( If I'd seen it, I would have pre-ordered on the spot! :( Edit: Isn't seeing bundles like this one of the reasons to sign up to the newsletter... which I never seem to get? :(
[quote who="Wieke" reply="25" id="2371399"]Pfff, martyr, smartyr, i just want bragging rights. [/quote] Yeah, those are fun. Especially if you get your name in the manual :D
[quote]Have any of you used it or do you just moan about it and distort the FACTS....[/quote] Actually, yes. Which is why I know that Suckrom has a habit of breaking internet explorer. (As in in created a situation where right clicking on something caused explorer to crash; I found a solution online that involved deactivating parts of SuckRom apparently designed specifically to prevent you from right click on stuff).
Talk to your bank! We don't know anything about your local bank's habits, but it sounds like they put a more permanent 'hold' on the funds than they should have. I know that my bank frequently puts 'holds' on funds (marked on my e-statement as being 'pending' transactions) that represent the fact that the money is going to be withdrawn, even if it hasn't actually happened yet. That said, they usually drop off in a day or so if no actual charge arrives, and your bank should h
Yeah, it is a bit wierd. That said, I've been liking the windows 7 RC I've been running, it's [i]great[/i]! :D
[quote who="Wintersong" reply="10" id="2367534"] I make a Spot check. Do I see anything? (On topic: awesome news!! I hated those small civs whose only purpose was to give you a nice planet and maybe some techs prior the conquering.)[/quote] You roll a natural 20! ... That means you see the dragon whose jaw form the 'dark cave' ahead.
[quote]Bleh....It looks like, that the devs are "ignoring" specific threads. Weird...[/quote] What is so wierd about them not showing up? That's SOP. They show up in some threads, but expecting them to show up in a given thread is insane.
[quote]Corny name...at least the War of Magic part...it'd be better if it was just left as Elemental[/quote] Don't quote me on this, but I think that name was taken.
[quote]"Historically" you'd be wrong as they started on OS/2.[/quote] OK, let me rephrase: sicne teh collapse of OS/2, they've been pure windows and have stated, strongly, their intention to remain that way :P
I doubt they'll be using OpenGL; SD has historically been a windows based company, which means directX.
[quote]And the settings button is no longer disguised as a logo[/quote] But I liked the orb!
[quote]Haha, I'm pretty darn sure I was charged already for the game.[/quote] No, you weren't. I don't remember the technical terms, but all Impulse does is [i]ask[/i] your bank / credit card company 'does this card have sufficient funds for this purchase?' Some banks / credit cards (most, actually) will put a hold on the funds that may [i]show[/i] as a charge (for example, Well's Fargo will show it as a 'pending' transaction in my online statement), but that will usually
[quote]...you have to actually try to write it badly for it to be hard to understand...[/quote] I'd have to disagree with that statement :D There is a lot of leeway, yes, but as with [i]any[/i] language, whiel there is flex you have to follow the rules to be understood. And on a slightly less technical level, I've seen some people with truly atrociuous grammar and spelling who don't have to 'try' to be completely illegible.
[quote]This is why I've created this topic.[/quote]So we can all sit around going 'we don't know! We don't know!' at each other?
[quote who="Saturn2888" reply="10" id="2366034"]Where's the beta? It seems as though it's out but I have no access even though I purchased it .[/quote] It's not yet out... And you may have pre-ordered, but until you're actually charged, you can't call it 'purchased'.
[quote]On another note, I highly encourage everyone to go to the next PAX.[/quote] :( $$$ is a problem :(
Well, too late for that :D (reinstalling oblivion would require reinstalling the bajillion mods I've got) Thanks, though!
[quote]1. Gondor 3rd Age - I'm still not completely sure how they will work out. They don't really have anything comparable to a "channeler" so this could be hard. They will be strong defensively, but less so offensively.[/quote] Denethor is shown to have a strong 'will'. While he doesn't throw fireballs around... does [i]anyone[/i] in the entire series really do that? Magic is always very subtle, a matter of opposing wills and things that just work [i]better[/i] tha
I think I'll stave off until after someone with more bandwidth rehosts them. I"m patient (and stuck with lots and lots of school work to keep me buys :D ), the game will keep.
