I love the Al Sharpton quote. Its the best so far in this series. I don't think the SJWs are used to having people fight back. It reminds me of the reaction of the Muslims when they ran into Charles Martel and his Frankish warriors:"Hey! These guys aren't running away! That's not fair" Imagine that.
Ultimately, the lack of 3rd party applications affects the price and overall quality of the OS. Without 3rd party programs to "push" the OS companies into action, they will spend years and years not putting in essential features because they don't see a mass-market appeal. It's sort of the same thing with gaming. The new ideas waiting to sweep the nation don't because good ideas have to be creative babies before they can become adults and it seems t
I will say that I believe it is implied that the Witch-King is a numenorean, but tolkien never comes out and says it. As He always says: "The power of fantasy flourishes on reticence."
Well you're right in there being Numenoreans......there were three(I stand corrected). However, the text does not connect the names of the three numenoreans with any of the Nine: snip from http://www.glyphweb.com/Arda/faq/nazgul.html "What are the Names of the Nine Nazgul? One of them, the second in rank after the Lord of the Nazgûl himself, was named Khamûl, and also known as the Black Easterling. This is the only one of the nine Nazgûl explicitly named by Tolkien.
There were two lines of kings of numenor, one was isildur and the other was anarion. Anarion founded Gondor and His line died when the king went to fight the Witch King. The other was from Isildur and was in the north in Arnor. That king died when His boat foundered in the Ice Bay of Forochel and He drowned. Since Arnor was destroyed, the line of the kings became anonymous rangers that lived in Rivendell. The story doesn't get interesting until Aragorn visits Gondor under the surnam
I think that the expansion is worth the 24.95 price because stardock does good work and always puts in lots of real extras. For me, I would pay the 24.95 on top of my drengin.net because of my relationship with stardock and the game. And the truth is, you are not selling to the casual gamer but to a very narrow bandwith of specific gamers. People in our market will look at the features more and compare the prices more and we are not very likely to make impulse decisions so much. I
The word "expansion pack" with gamers makes them feel that they are not getting their money's worth, even if in many cases you are, because the word 'expansion' seems to lend to the idea that it is a bunch of extra stuff that they didn't have time to put into the original but there is no actual tremendous amount of work being done here---just a little profit taking by the developers. Sort of the "whatever we have left lying around the office we will put into an expansion pack" mentality. Sinc
One drawback tho.........the AI is not as cool as GalCiv.....but that stands to reason since Galciv is revolutionary.........but it is nice to see an old friend taken up a notch................
I just got Warlords IV:Heroes of Etheria and wow! It's a considerable evolutionary leap over Warlords III. Warlords 3 had some differences from 2, notably the fleshing out of the heroes and experience for individual units---but the game seemed like an upgraded version of 2 with better graphics and a few fundamental design changes---and oh yeah, campaigns as well.......... But Warlords IV has taken the game to the next level in several ways: 1. Heroes do a lot less tha
