[quote who="EternalRequiem" reply="175" id="2934827"]lol know what I find funny... lots of people call the creator a HE, HE could actually be a SHE [/quote] Is fire a 'HE', is water a 'He' is love a 'HE'? It is a quirk of language that when you refer to any kind of communicative being it requires a 'he' or 'she'. 'It' is somewhat derogatory. Or...

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="171" id="2934816"] Good stuff. I've always wondered this too: what does the surface of an electron look like and could some form of "life" exist on it? Are both "small" and "large" infinite? What if the smaller space becomes, the slower time interaction becomes? What if the larger space becomes, the faster time interaction becomes? In a way this makes sense because our interaction with Creation is dependent on how fast signals travel to our b

Isn't that what the Romans/barbarians experienced/? I don't think that it is a diminishing of humanity as much as it is a caveat on the consequences of arrogance v. "mother nature

And, most importantly, revision of your beliefs in light of new evidence. I personally think that they are polar opposites, but I would be interested in hearing your opinion as well. In short, here goes my basic assump

[quote who="Anthony R" reply="2" id="2934775"]Pay no attention to this rant. I have a rather strange and bizarre sense of humor... I didn't think anyone would get it. [/quote] No problem! Sarcasm usually works best with topics that most people are familiar with, otherwise, not so much!

Kaisoku got it. with regard to the disastrous 1980 series, apparently they wanted to continue the show from where it left of but certain actors were not available so they went bonkers with the storyline instead! On a side note, Olmos is a genius as Adama, and pretty much every aspect of the new series is beyond outstanding! It is just that one aspect of the main plot that made the whole thing crash and burn for me. That aspect being the idea to tu

This month i decided to try and watch battlestar galactica the original series after extreme disappointment of the new series and fond memories of watching it when i was a child. I thought it would look silly in this day and age, but to my surprise i was actually able to really enjoy it! Even my Wife got into it!! This last week we started watching Galactica 1980 which i never got to see when i was a child. But it is seriously shit!!! I do not exp

[quote who="BoobzTwo" reply="138" id="2934624"]Mystikmind - Most understood little initially after 9/11 … only what the USG said. Don’t you remember all the neocons repeatedly stating that there can be no doubt that Saddam has WMD’s and that they had unimpeachable PROOF? Doesn’t sound like a guess or supposition to me? Take WMD’s out of the equation for the rush to war … and there wouldn’t have been a war. It all stems from the events of 9/11 and th

If the developers fixed the memory leak in the game, let them calmly make their way down from the summit of mount Everest, bury their dead and recover in hospital for several weeks first, then perhaps mention the map editor memory leak, especially if you want to see developers setting fire to themselves and jumping off cliffs!!!

I was wondering what this thread was all about.... none of the posts seemed to make much sense so i Googled Fahrenheit 9/11 and still the posts don't make much sense hehehe! Anyway, i remember seeing that documentary advertised on TV and thought "what a load of xxxx". Simply because of the name! because i did not know the significance of the name (which i just found out). Therefore the name 'Fahrenheit 9/11 in my mind conjured up impressions of heightened sensationalism on ove

Oh yea, and I know everything there is to know about the holocaust by watching Sieg des Glaubens, or was it Banana's in Pajamas? (scratches head?)

I live in Australia and I have watched allot of the series. Mainly due to a process of elimination more than anything else.... in other words it was the least crappiest crap out of all the crap i had to choose from at the time without the usual reaching and turning off of the TV!!

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="10" id="2932149"] Quoting Mystikmind, reply 6 Steam? Errrmm, i absolutely do not like the idea of games being compulsorily subject to a platform like steam. It is the principal of the removal of choice from the customer, that can never be a good thing even tho i have no particular vexation against Steam (i even have it and use it). I have also refused to buy Civ5 for this exact reason. Me either, hence why I haven't invested any more in th

In reference to my above post yesterday on defeating the Mongols; I remember now what actually happened, i did not simply defeat the Mongols because of the sicillian spear militia and crossbow militia. There was a series of fortunate circumstances that allowed that to happen! Naturally i can win the battles one on one with an isolated Mongol army, that is not even worth mentioning. It is the battles where the Mongol armies are grouped together (which they like t

[quote who="James009D" reply="7" id="2931804"]I too must admit my love of Medieval II. For me I enjoy controlling and managing my generals, commanders, and royal family. Its fun to follow the "stories" that these character's develop. For something truely different and amazing check out the Third Age mod. Also, Rome was also a fantastic game. So simple, diverse, and engaging. Shogun II is good but lacks the diversity and flavor of Medieval II and Rome... it also reall

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="5" id="2931789"]Actually Rome is the immediate Predecessor to Medieval II, and is generally considered to be the best TW game (though Medieval II is also a favorite). Medieval II actually uses the same engine as Rome so it should be quite familiar to you. You can probably get the gold edition for dirt cheap now if you ever need more time to kill. Empire, Napoleon and Shogun II are the Total War games released after Medieval II, though I haven't pla

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="3" id="2931754"]I take it you never played Rome:TW?[/quote] I am aware there are some newer versions around, have been for some time now! When i will get to them i do not know?

If you thought that vanilla campaign was good, well... bring a change of underpants.[/quote] Grand campaign Mod? I don't need the game to be harder, but it would be nice if there was a third invasion or rework the Tumirids to be vastly more numerous, come a bit later in the game and have their armies operate with pre determined territorial objectives so they don't suffer the

I got my hands on this game before Elemental, and i played just one grand campaign then moved on to Elememtal. When i played that first grand campaign, i got a bit fed up with the overwhelming number of city build options, and the hideous AI diplomacy then when i first played Elemental coming from that game, i was so relieved by how vastly limited the city build options in Elemental are in comparison! But after playing Elemental for a while, i came to feel that there is just n

[quote who="Uvah" reply="13" id="2931340"]A shot in the dark. If the original mouse never freezes could it be a driver issue? I kind of doubt it though because I've used multiple mice on a single computer before without any issues.[/quote] Well, anyway, I'm going to try and buy a good mouse and see how it goes? I don't like the mouse i have now regardless of the freezing issue because of the random left click issue. The random left click issue is whe

[quote who="Jafo" reply="12" id="2931313"] Quoting Mystikmind, reply 11The purpose of defragging a HDD in another machine is nothing more than the desire to complete a defrag at all! Whether a file system is Fat, Fat32, NTFS, whatever, the OS that uses the drive really likes to know where all its bits are....and some need to be in specific locations. Only the OS installed on the drive will know where its bits are. Another machine's OS will neither know nor care.[/quo

There have been some frighteningly awesome action movies of late, but what about intellectual movies? Hmmm, the Kings speech was quaint, Inception was utterly fascinating, but don't bother with Inception if you don't have the intellect to get into it, otherwise it will just piss you off and give you a headache!. but i would not put these films up as being as freakishly powerful a film along the lines of something such as Amistad

[quote who="Jafo" reply="10" id="2931285"]This all sounds like a job for Yrag .... but beware....he'll probably call you several 'names' before solving the problem.... For the life of me I can't see how defragging an OS HDD in another machine will do anything GOOD for the OS on that HDD. Mouse pointer 'freezing' can simply be a screen redraw issue...in other words symptomatic of a Graphic Card driver/problem. But leave
