Sorry, I need to prolong 12 hours again, I am short on free time. Apologies to everyone.

Well, the game also looks like an ugly street urchin, compared to Witcher 2. BTW what combat system? Chronicles of Riddick had a good combat system - you could make various attacks, you could block, you could counter.Mount and Blade has a combat system. Combat systems are about timing, blocking, dodging, and attack variety. All this is absent from the game, it's close combat is identical to Pacman. And finally - the ending sucks big time. Four buttons, four flavors of pseudo
I still can't understand how people can consider this type of gameplay good, in 2011. The close combat system is similar to Riddick - except that the whole combat system is missing, only the takedown animations remain. The game is poorly optimized (console RAM limit), and constantly loads something from disk, even though I have 8GB of RAM. Comared to Arma 2 that simulates whole battlefield, these static, dead levels should run much smoother. BTW did I mention that the hacking minigame suc
More impressions - I was rather disappointed when by powerful-looking sniper rifle with many upgrades turned up to be a glorified BB rifle. Crossbow twice as powerful than a rifle? Ridiculous.
For me, the game is a mild disappointment. The only interesting area is the story and the gameworld lore - both are superb. Even the characters are interesting. However, from purely gameplay perspective, the game is mediocre. It suffers heavy consolitis in all the worst aspect we know it. The cover system among them, the game tries to guess what you want to do, often ducking the wrong direction. There is no melee combat system whatsoever - you just press the button and animation plays
Hanan'el has returned from the great Beyond to ask monkey people whether they stood by their promise to aid thier Hinnom allies in war against Pangaea. So, subjects of King Louis, have you fulfilled your oath, or should I regret that I stayed my hand when I could smite your kingdom into oblivion?
Tis but a scratch! Just a fleshwound!
Okay, my proper turn is in, you can process/turn autohost on again. Thank you.
I apologize, I have accidentally sent an empty move to the server, but it was accepted as valid (wanted to send Lazydays, wrong attachment). Could you please turn off auto-host until I make my correct turn? Thank you.
Besides Civilization 5, BF3 will be the only game that supports and makes use of multithreaded rendering on Nvidia cards, so having a card in the 5xx range could pay off (the Civ5 performance rose noticeably when it was implemented). I don't need to upgrade, since I have Nvidia560Ti. Unfortunately, I don't like Battlefield franchise.
Yay... Homeworld, the game of my heart. Higaara, lost Paradise...

Finally! The honored Baal Motl finally received his Doctorate Horroris causa with commendation ;-) BTW I managed to cure that feeble-minded Baal, even the Kohen with his hand chopped-off. The miracles of modern magic!
Waiting always pays off. Don't listen to the bribed reviewer dummies, and wait what real gamers will write about the game. I never buy games early these days.
[quote who="wonderloss" reply="635" id="2986050"]We are currently on 72 hours. Does it need to be extended further? Also, I am doing my best to reduce the number of units and provinces that you have to worry about.[/quote] You obviously have very poor idea about the number of my units ;-)
I am running very tight here, if you could give me just 12 hours, that would be very nice. Sorry.
Correction - I now see that the move should be ready by tuesday, I can make it (I thouht it was tomorrow). However, 3 days/move would be nice now.
The problem is that due no sheer number of units and provinces and spells, I now need almost 3 hours to make a move, which is increasingly difficult to find - if I interrupt in the middle of doing it, I always forget the greater picture, like who does what and why. The other game, lazydays, it much less demanding - I need only 15-30 minutes/move.
wonderloss, I will need to prolong 24 hours this time. There is a very hectic month before me, because we are moving into a new flat. I have to do zillions of things, and have to decide what books and stuff I will throw away, since the new place is smaller. If possible, and if others are okay with that, I would propose extending the time between moves from 2 days to 3-4 days. At least for the month, before the operation is over. Thank you.
Hmm, five minutes past deadline, and nothing. Maybe you really did prolong, and the server stats just do not reflect it? In that case, I owe you and apology. Sure was a frenetic 40 minutes, though. I am gonna catch some sleep while I can, then off to work, then to make my move. In that case, my statement is: Sorry for all the fuss, and thank you for prolonging. It was really a very busy day for me, and I am happy to have time to make my move in peace and with proper deliberation.
No matter what I do, I cannot make it in time. Too much drowsiness, too little time. I demand a rollback once this turn is generated. I made mistakes like throwing artifact out while hastily clicking my orders, now I can't possibly make in time, with only two minutes, or so. I won't send a crippled order.
Next turn due: 04:50 GMT on Wednesday August 17th Last updated at 03:55 GMT on Wednesday August 17th Current time: 04:04 GMT Good thing I did not trust you, and set my alarm clock early, eh? Now I have just 46 minutes to ma
Please can we postpone at least 6 hours? I had an unexpected emergency today and I came too late, I won't be able to send in my turn. I apologize to everyone.
Well, at least it's witty and well-written. It's a great parody of the clumsy self-promotion most blogs are - the garish, painful-to-look-at ego parade saying "I have nothing much to say, but I have the means to do it" I can also recommend the updated, more visual version: http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=af11 By the way, take your time, and re
