[quote who="Roloccolor" reply="16" id="3380631"]Cauldyth may i ask what camera you bought?[/quote] I actually went for a DSLR, the Nikon D7100. The reason is that I have a very specific use for my camera. When I go on vacation, I want to take pictures of wildlife and nature, and ideally be able to print them as large as possible for hanging on my wall. Until now, I've been using the Canon SD990 from 2009, which at the time was a higher end point-and-shoot compact

[quote who="Roloccolor" reply="11" id="3380534"]he mentioned that nowadays digital is the way to go since you can instantly copy the pictures to a drive[/quote] Unless you're an existing professional who has a hardcore reason to prefer film to digital, digital is a no-brainer, but actually not for the reason you mention above. If you're in the beginner learning phase, like many of us are, film is completely unforgiving with regards to the learning curve.

Are you people still going at it? Don't you have jobs?

Gee, this thread isn't destined to become contentious and unpleasant. Nope, not at all. [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e]

They've always been an understated bunch. :)

Dominions 4 announced! http://www.illwinter.com/dom4/index.html

I've never been able to figure out why high speed micromanaging in RTSes was considered fun by any carbon-based lifeform. But I'm old too.

Mathematics is a language, used for describing the physical world. Its enormous advantage over other, natural languages, is in

It's on the internet, so it must be true. P.S. If you want to debate physics, devote yourself to studying it. And studying it doesn't amount to reading hits from google searches. P.P.S. I'm writing this on the internet, so it's true.

Breaking bubbles in the hall, can you help me?

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="16" id="3351205"]I remember before there were any DLCs out, trying to play as one of the Ethiopian Christian nations, desperately trying to not be annihilated. They had no mercenaries available and the Muslims would just stomp you to dust with thousands of troops to your dozens. Easily one of the most difficult things I have done in a game.[/quote] Reminds me of playing EU3 as one of the tiny Irish countri

[quote who="GP1628" reply="9" id="3350318"]But IMHO the WINNER would be VGA Planets 4. I loved VGAP3... the dev wont slow down adding to the game.[/quote] Wow, I didn't know they were even still developing it. Last time I played VGAP was in the early 90s! It blew my mind back then, I should check out what's happened since.

SpaceChem stretched my brain like no other game. You start a level wondering how you could possibly even attempt it. Then you get optimistic with some ideas. Then you visit the Valley of Ultimate Despair when nothing seems to be working. Then you have that moment of inspiration and solve the level. Then you feel really, really proud of yourself.

Jafo, you Australians are so mean! Oops... [e digicons]:X[/e]

Speaking as a chemist myself, organic chemistry is unlike anything else I've ever studied in that regard. You are, literally, memorizing recipes for making countless different things. What reagents to use, what medium to add them to, what temperature to cook them at... it's like having to memorize every recipe in a cookbook, down to the finest detail. This is why I went into theoretical/physical chemistry. :)

I think the OP was referring to this quote from the article: Elsewhere in Stardock's customer report, Wardell says the company's internal teams are toward two new games to be revealed this year. So yeah, announcement of two new internally developed games, separate from the main point of the article.

Yeah, this expansion is looking great. There's also an interview here (scroll down to read the English translation): http://www.net4war.com/news.php?id_news=880 The features look great, and the new UI scaling should make a lot of people happy.

Well, I haven't played Stardrive much yet, so I don't know how well it's come together so far.

I don't like the classification of these types of games as RTSes, not because they aren't "real-time" or strategy, but just because it's misleading. Games like Stardrive and Distant Worlds are not what most people would think of as RTSes. They are continuous-time versions of games like the MoO or GalCiv series. I think it's akin to calling the Europa Universalis games or Crusader Kings 2 "RTS"es. Stardrive and Distant Worlds are more like "Europa Univer

Yeah, this was already an autobuy for me, and the video just reinforced that. :)

Yeah, those Turn button colours are horrible for us colourblind people.

As mentioned above, baker's chocolate is much worse than milk chocolate, since it has much higher levels of theobromine. A 1 oz piece of baker's chocolate can make a 40 lb dog sick, but it would take around a pound of milk chocolate to cause the same problem in the same dog. And it takes even more to become life threatening. Basically, if it's milk chocolate, unless your dog got into your large stash, he'll be fine. :) In other trivia, chocolate
