The things I'm hearing of Windows 7 leaves me.. baffled. Maybe it's just some big bubble of happy people running around with rosecolored glasses in here, but from what I'm hearing, this may be the first Windows I'll install within the first year of it's release. As I've come to understand it, it's just in beta at the moment (so Micro$oft still have time to screw up), but when is Windows 7 set for release?

I can't even fully recall how long it lasted. It was a couple of years back. I did pull just over 7 days, though, but I don't remember how many. Certainly not anywhere near 14, though. I usually sleep a lot more than what could be considered healthy, and have extremely fluctuating day/night

Just some kind of black-out. A week I spent without sleeping, in the final phases I started to have hearing hallucinations, but more unnerving, I started to have blackouts like that.

[quote who="tito_defekt" reply="10" id="2019875"] do u fall asleep while standing up? I knew some people with narcalepsy who had problems where they would just fall asleep no matter what they were doing unless they had regular naps Well, yes. I often do that in the bus on my way to school if there is no seat available. I remember, last year the bus was about 2 miles close to my house and I've done that. Next thing, I'm waking up about 4 miles away and I've been driv

I can't fathom playing with only the Eldar, Orks, Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines. No Imperial Guard, no Dark Eldar, no Necrons, no Sisters of Battle or Tau. Fixed.

[quote who="lbgsloan" reply="7" id="2018129"]I heard the DE turned out okay; they were probably worked on first. I still play DoW, but I can only stand it with the DC Pro mod. It cuts down on the mindless spam and insures all units scale through the game and remain useful. They're working on one for SS now. Maybe by the time it's out SS will have dropped to $20 and I'll pick it up for the new factions. Alternatively, the Witch Hunters mod is in open beta and seem
[quote who="Thrawn2787" reply="2" id="2018679"]What no. Soulstorm is useless. It's CD key, on the other hand, will be very useful come the 21st.... Get Dark Crusade and Winter Assault. A reason why SS is dumb[/quote]You obviously didn't read my entire post. I fully agree that the narrator and the story in Soulstorm is fucking useless. But as I said, DoW only comes to it's right in multiplayer. And if you can shut out everything that has anything to do with the narrator, the
I completely agree. It's a pet-peeve of mine. There's nothing more annoying than when they turn your entire background into some big endorsement poster. I mean, who are they trying to sell the game to? Me? I obviously already know of the game, if I've got the wallpaper. [quote who="landisaurus" reply="2" id="2018449"]You are 100% right. I've said the same thing before. I think its nice to have it with the logo sometimes, but I feel there should always be a pict
I most heartly recommend the expansion, all of them. They add a lot to the gameplay, even if the campaigns are extremely different from eachother - considered better by some and worse by others. You talk a lot of the campaign, but where Dawn of War truly shines is in multiplayer. One thing I can't agree on is that it has less micro than games such as Warcraft III. The difference is, in my opinion, that much of the micro in Dawn of War is 'stowed away'. The end line is that if you can'

[quote who="Thrawn2787" reply="17" id="2014549"]Hate to break this to you Luckmann and Jagged but this game makes alot more sense fluff wise than DoW ever did EDIT: It's not like DoW gameplay wise, but it is still a sequil... [/quote]I agree that this game MAY make a lot more sense fluff-wise than DoW ever did, but games overall rarely make sense fluff-wise when it comes to actual game mechanics. But that's not what I'm arguing. It's just like you say, it's not like DoW
That's just.. bad. I don't actually shoot the puppy, the game does it for me as soon as I start the game. Sure, I get the gag, but it's just.. bad.
Spam.

[quote who="Wintersong" reply="13" id="2014377"]Dow II isn't Dow 2.0, so what? It seems quite W40K to me. Not that i wouldn't have prefered something more original than some kind of mix of DoW and CoH but it seems quite interesting and fun.[/quote]Yes, it seems quite WH40k. I didn't say it didn't. I'm just somewhat annoyed that they still opt to call it DoW II, when it's not -really- DoW II. It's like calling a hatchet "Shovel II" and then argue that both seems quite garden-y and
I wish I could say that I was anxious to see the release of DoW II, being a huge fan of the original DoW and it's expansions. Unfortunately, except the setting, I don't really see much of DoW in DoW II. I'm even a bit suprised they kept the name. Probably some licensing issue, but possibly marketing, since I'm sure they wouldn't mind snatching some of the DoW fanbase.
Yeah, when I said not-enough-shirts, I meant shirts, not T-shirts. Just like landisaurus. If I start showing up places in t-shirts, people will think I'm a plebe! [e digicons]:(O[/e]
[quote who="pigeonpigeon" reply="10" id="2013367"]You know how wonders that confer a bonus to just the city/planet they're built in tend to be washed out in larger maps? Like in GalCiv, having one planet that can produce slightly faster ships really stops being helpful in huge maps, where you have maybe 30 ship-producing planets. I thought of a way that that problem could be somewhat solved. Let's say you build the War Academy. It provides +100 XP to all military units trained in t
