No.

I like the numbers that make neat structures in my head. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 18, 22, 24, 26, 28, 42. If anyone finds any logic in it, feel free to give me a call. I'd like to have it cleared up. Thanks.

[quote who="di55ec7ion" reply="14" id="1999892"]I dont think thats right. Communication actually is 90% nonverbal and only 10% is what you really say, the rest is tonality, bodylanguage etc. [...] [/QUOTE] Actually, approximately 7 percent of communication comes from spoken words, 38 percent is from the tone of the voice, and 55 percent comes from body language. I'd say that "what you really say" is both spoken words and the tonality of those spoken words; so t

[quote who="astrath" reply="11" id="1999833"] [...] Personally I don't see the point of shooters; virtually all my games are strategy games of some sort, with one or two RPGs. I don't play at all while I'm at uni and only play games during the holidays (ie now).[/quote]I think the point is that there is no point to them. It's just senseless bam-bam.

The key word is 'optional', and turning the SMAC-style research off results in 'normal' research style. When people use the word 'SMAC-st

It's about 10ish minutes here in Sweden right now, before the 31th of December (New Year's Eve) kicks off and it becomes mandatory to run around shouting "Happy New Year!" to everyone and their mother, while drinking obscene amounts of alcohol, eating all the food that wasn't eaten on Christmas' Eve, drinking more alcohol, and then blow your fingers off with choice-free explosive. So I'd like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy New Year, before I go to sleep and then myst

[quote quoting="post"]My friend's dad says shooters like Call of Duty and Halo are pointless, so he doesn't let him play them. He also thinks that shooters will get him addicted and he will fail all his grades in school. Can you guys help me formulate an arguement that he can present to his dad in order to be able to play video games and shooters in specific? P.S. My friend is 13, so he's definitely mature enough to play these games. And please dont spam, be detri

[...] [/quote]I feel that overall, your assessment are fairly correct, but on this one, I really must object. The crafting in both the OC and MotB are incredibly powerful, but it was often too much hassle for me to care. In SoZ, the general power still remains, but is cappe

[quote who="Tamren" reply="8" id="1998648"]Heh I have plenty of other stuff to play. I figure I will wait until GoG.com comes out with it and the expansion.

[quote]How do you feel about potentially "game unbalancing" random events?[/quote]I love them. The single most important issue for me, however, is how the AI reacts to them. I'd like them to react realisticly to them. That is, not too well. A potentially game unbalancing event should be mutually unbalancing. Just like it throws a human player off his game, it should throw an AI off his. Reacting good to a bad situation is the hallmark of a good player, but an AI ofte

[quote who="Tamren" reply="6" id="1998550"]It just doesn't make much sense to me. So you discover writing and some other guy discovers writing. Now you are in a race to construct some library or other. You finish first, and the other guy with his 99% complete library is showered with debrit as it explodes into a pile of rubble then vanishes. I don't get it at all why there can only be one.[/QUOTE]I can go along with that and easily see your point. For gameplay though, I'd prefer there only to

[quote who="Tamren" reply="1" id="1998416"]Making your own unique races is fine but you really have to give it a lot of thought. Most efforts tend to fall short or fit too well with one stereotype.

[quote who="Tamren" reply="4" id="1998414"]I remember putting a condenser atop every single farm. Never did like boreholes but at this point I don't remember much. Great game though, wish it worked better with XP. To start with I think the order of the Wonders should not depend entirely on technology.

[quote who="Rillafane" reply="22" id="1998105"] [...] That is not to say I am against the flexibilities.
