Though I was never really satisfied with the playing experience FE:LH gave me, I must express my respect for the extensive support of the game.

Basically, forget the product numbers altogether, it's just marketing schmoo. Sometimes, they cover up thinks like older chips branded into new product line as lower and card to sell the surplus. Basically, you have to watch for the following parameters: used chip (and subsequently architecture, for example the Kepler chips brought huge performance gain), VRAM amount (larger is better for detailed textures), core clock speed, VRAM speed, bus width, number and type o

My PC is like that wooden pot still in the Guyana rum distillery - parts of the still get replaced all the time, and the still lasted for centuries. I upgrade like that from 1995, and while none of the original components remain, there is a continuous chain. Recently, the cycle has slowed a lot, but I am on Core i5 3570K @ 4,4GHz MSI GTX 670 with 4GB of VRAM (best investment, since I can enjoy extreme texture quality even on games designed for the

I think it will be a while, because the amount of changes is huge. However, I highly recommend to try the ASCII version out, it's hilarious, full of bugs, but hilarious. TOADY implemented a completely asynchronous conversation system which is currently quite broken, the characters chop each other limbs and comment it with chilled lines like: "What's happening, is this an attack?" You can come to a group of dwarves and stab one from behind, and listen the others say stuff like: "I have

I live in Czech Republic, so I never really had a cable, but I did not buy a new TV set since the last one broke down some five or six years ago. Never regretted the decision.

A non-colorblind artist is urgently needed. SoTS2 had terrible color schemes (neon bright red, pink and purple combinations), and these screens don't look any better.

After two years of waiting... just trying it out. It's ... delightfully insane.

Regional pricing should be and have been already successfully attacked at courts (at least in case of STEAM on EU territory). I consider it to be a totally unlawful practice.

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="11" id="3450727"] the art is beautiful.[/quote] It's the series' sole redeeming quality. Gameplay-wise, it's pretty poorly designed.

I don't know if it strictly speaking fits into the category of "fantasy strategy games", but one game I have been playing a lot deserves mentioning: King of the Dragon Pass If you can, check it's modernized version on iOs, it's superb. If you can't, the old PC version is available at GOG.

Of course it's 2D. In 3D, blockading solar systems is much more problematic ;-)

Freespace 1 and 2

Seriously, I don't thing you fully realize the scope of the problem. It's similar to saying: "Execution? I've had worse. Just chop me head off and be done with it." But once he sees the axe and the block, it's different song altogether. BTW the planet won't do anything, because it's an inanimate object.

I see you have forgotten the three best programming languages ever - Malbolge, LOLCODE and Brainfuck. Seek them out, they are fun! Ad regular expressions - you can use multiline switch and structure them as much as you like.

Warlock games do many things right, but what I like the most is the fact that a settlement is not a defenseless installation - finally, games like Civ5 and Warlock are getting it. The worst example of how not to do it is Conquest of Elysium, where you can lose a castle to a wandering deer - ridiculous. The population must be able to deal with minor threats by itself, or expansion is not really possible.

The game lacks soul. It's an eintopf of poorly integrated generally likeable fantasy elements, and many of its aspects (building placement) is just a chore with little impact on the game.

Steam reports update, started the game, says version 1.5.

Upgrade to Lubuntu, no more fees, you can keep your old hardware since it's not as demanding as modern bloatware (no HW accelerated GUI shiny chrome, etc.) You could probably run the critical XP software in Wine, many applications work, including games. Stable, regularly updated, secure, and most importantly FREE operation system.

Terrorists, schmerrorists. It's good for one thing - users will learn to do incremental backups of their critical files on a physically separate device. It's easy with today's NAS home servers, start today, so you don't have to learn the hard way.

[quote who="teddybearcholla" reply="4" id="3457946"] I have a question concerning XP. I read someplace, but I forgot where, that uninstalling " Internet Explorer" is also a good idea, if you are keeping Windows XP. When I went to uninstall it, a popup said, all the programs installed after having Internet Explorer may not work. Well that is all the programs on the pc. It seems odd, because it is only the browser Internet Explorer which would be uninstalled.&nbsp

I am already upgrading all my servers. But while the Bleed Heart vulnerability only affect OpenSSL versions 1.0.1a-g, there was another advisory published that affect all past versions: http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-0076 For the Heart Bleed bug, there is a tool that can verify if a website is affected: http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/

As a person who has been diagnosed with depression and took medication for a few years, I will share my notes on depression. - I personally believe that it's a result of a deeply unsatisfactory life our industrial and post-industrial society forces upon us. I mean, we are designed to run through forest, pick berries and hunt animals, to mate and experience both thrill and fear to which physical response is the right thing (fight or flight, etc.) All our hormon

But the west is already feeling the effects of peak oil in the form of so called "stagflation". The industrial and living inputs are rising in costs, so people spend less, but the prices do not go down, because everything becomes more difficult and more expensive to manufacture. Just look at the prices of basic commodities like grain, rice (especially rice), steel, etc. The leaders prefer to call it "financial crisis", because everyone feels that finances are huma
