[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="10" id="2876464"]I'll see your burn-out SG Asgard and raise you the future humans in John Varley's Eight Worlds stories. Never read or seen a fantasy story that had really interesting reproduction mechanics, unless you count Darkover's chieri as fantasy, which apparently some folks do. A game seems as good a format as any to dig into the potential variety there.[/quote] Never heard of 'Eight Worlds Stories' but i assume it must have at lea

[quote who="IROKONESS" reply="26" id="2876429"]Just an example. Star Trek, Star Trek Generations, Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek Deep Space Nine. All started with this incredible,orchestrated, individual Star Trek theme. All great. Until Star Trek 5. I couldn't believe it when I heard the singing start. OK for a song, but, not for a Star Trek theme. And sure enough. I never did get used to it. [/quote] Yea, but the whole concept of Startrek Ente

[quote who="Jafo" reply="25" id="2876427"] I am always so amused to instantly know a movie is either good or bad I do not sit and know if each and every movie i watch is good or bad just by hearing the intro music most movies it is inconclusive it is always so easy to identify them just by the intro music You failed English Expression and/or Debating class /whatever, didn't you? [Yes, that's rhetorical]....<b

The answer to the OP's question is as simple as the answer to the question, is the campaign finished?

Funny how a simple game can demonstrate by accident what will eventually be possible in real life through advanced genetics! Then one day Nature will tap the human race on the shoulder and say "i Dub thee Asgard" (in terms of sexuality) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asgard_%28Stargate%29

[quote who="Oranisagu" reply="22" id="2875276"]you can't tell how good a film is, since thats not even possible after watching the thing. critics may think they're gods gift to the world, but the fact is, every movie affects different people differently and there will always people be disliking or liking one. but you might be able to determine if its a film YOU'd like. yet probably not just by listening to the music, but watching the intro itself with the music. the intro is part o

[quote who="Aww Nuts" reply="11" id="2872984"] I play large games that take a few hours to play/complete so 15 minute wins are not my thing. I don't think that the no-rush rule is conducive to multi-player as it creates an artificial environment. Take the title, Elemental WAR of Magic, hell War is it's middle name. I think it is unwise to play what is basically a war game as you would, say, Sim City. In fact, I used to play Evony and the people who jus

I was getting several related errors in update 1.1 but the latest update seems to have fixed them so far? What would stop end turn working for me would be a unit/s trying to walk but just slipping on the spot. Saving and reloading fixed it every time. Often my auto end turn would not work when it should, accompanied with an erratic auto select unit function that would not select all available units automatically. I always considered this just to b

[quote who="Quabar" reply="3" id="2875121"]It's the ease of use I'm refering to, such as the icon sizes and menus, in your opinion would the game be a chore to navigate with a fat finger ? Not as fat as a iphone hotdog tho Im clueless if a game has to be built to take advantage of the touch features in a OS, such as scrolling or pinch to zoom. [/quote] I do not know specifically? I would expect there would be some kind of emulator which tran

Somehow the forum keeps tricking me into creating a new quoted post instead of editing the previous post i wanted to edit? Edit: experiment Edit: experiment Edit: seems to be working now??

[quote who="Jafo" reply="12" id="2875095"] The sort of 'repairs' that a MS SP are likely to deal with are the ones MS has found as flaws/failings in the OS release, not necessarily something a third party programmer may have introduced.... simply because there are way too many diverse and creative ways that they [the third party programmers] AND the individual user may have screwed up the OS. Afterall.... how many LiteSTEP users have seen the message "OS not found. You must re

[quote who="Jafo" reply="10" id="2875076"] It's not 'gray' at all. SP1 is an add-on ...an updater, not a repairer. If it finds an error in the OS to which it is being applied the only responsible option is for it to halt until such error is corrected so as not to potentially exacerbate it [the error]. The 'origin' of the fault is with the Driver Company, not MS, and MS is not THEIR 'support' department. They [MS] are less of a 'monopoly' than Apple is wi

Elemental is well polished as it is now, but as far as i know, the out of memory error is still hanging in there? I am not too up to date with new technology but isn't it typically very old games or very old game technology being used by these new technology devices? I see the adds on TV all the time, and it is quite amusing to see such outdated shit being advertised with such loud new excitement in the adds (typically for mobiles)!

[quote who="Tarkus01" reply="8" id="2875017"]The problem here is not Microsoft but the Driver vendors. If you uninstall their drivers they ususally left crap behind. This could cause problems on newer installatons of the drivers. People developed driver cleaner programs to reqally clean the driver installations.

I feel like murdering someone when I see a great song apprpriated in this manner. It's like the director (or whoever) is trying to trick people into thinking the movie is not crap.
