I am going to be doing...absolutely nothing but gaming and programming. I will be loving every second of it. WOOT!!! I just finished my finals. It's been a rough last few months with plenty of ups (including BlizzCon), some major letdowns, and a ton of homework. But I have a couple days where I'm gonna smell because I am not doing a damn thing including taking a shower...I kid, my wife will never let me get away with that. I picked up EU4 and I've decided on a game p

Yeah dead summoner's don't maintain summons too well.

I frequent Maddjinn's Blog and noticed he now has partnered with an online store. They are running a Christmas sale plus an additional discount if you use MadDjinnSpecial (5%) which is available limited time according to the blog . I just bought EU4 for a pretty decent discount (33%). They sell Steam keys, not sure about other methods, but he gets a commission. Considering how much of his content I've consumed for free I figure I could throw him a penny e

haha

It already started. However, you could also do a personal challenge by attempting the theme. There is a global game jam coming up Jan 24-26 http://globalgamejam.org . The game jam is non competitive it's a lot of fun if you can . Last year I helped program with Earth Pulse by programming some of the scripts and designing some of the logic and strategic elements. The lead designer never played a strategy game before and I had not

Lol GeomanNL I'm not ignoring you. But umm Kyro has so much more weight with that Stardock tag next to his name :D And coding in a language the does all the hard parts for you does not seem to be a good idea.

[quote who="GeomanNL" reply="10" id="3426729"]Also very important: use a programming language that has a proper garbage collector. You don't want to spend lots of time on bug-hunting memory leaks, those are just evil. So do NOT use C++. Do NOT write your own garbage collector. Just settle for a "slower" language, it's a trade-off between speed and ease-of-programming I know, but ease-of-programming is important.[/quote] I probably won't take this advice. I genera

[quote who="admiralWillyWilber" reply="1" id="3426702"] What's this.[/quote] It's a 48 hour game jam where a theme is selected and then you have to create a game fitting that theme. If the game created during this event is popular enough the developer or another developer might decide to flesh it out after the event. They happen every 4 months and is a good thing to pay attention to. I was hoping to participate in this one but I didn't realize it is the

Working for free for someone else is not an option for me. If I'm working for free I rather be working on my own game Projects. I make pretty decent money now in a development industry...but it's parking automation, so not that exciting haha

So apparently I struck a nerve. I gave Dominos a 1 for the pizza being "what I ordered" when they forgot the buffalo sauce on the wings and burned my pizza...like 8 months ago. I didn't even leave a comment other then say there was no wing sauce. 4th "We're Sorry" coupon arrived at my door today...I want to tell them hey it's ok, but can't argue with cheap pizza

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="2" id="3426674"] This has been occurring since FE... (probably WoM)[/quote] I'm guessing it's from DesktopX, if memory serves me correctly is what the UI is created in.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="6" id="3426672"] What mods are you running, I don't see this effect with the Darkling rider[/quote] Nothing, I dumped My Documents folder and verified the cache. If you aren't seeing it I might just need to delete and reinstall the game.

I would define rap as rhythmic chants. It is basically the evolution of quick speak and work songs sung by slaves. It goes pretty far back but it wasn't identified as rap music until fairly recently. Well within the last century. I think it's better when the rapper is actually rapping about issues with the world (Biggie, Jay-Z, etc) instead of just going on about, well you know the stuff that the average person thinks about when they think about rap such as how many hos they have, bus

I haven't play too much in the last month. I logged in and The Warg for the Darkling rider unit is riding another of the same type. Anyone else seeing this?

Just crawling through my post looking for some bugs I posted in 1.4 and I ran across this one I wrote 6 months ago. I'm going to place some advice for other people trying to break into the industry. Make sure when blah blah blahing about gaming that you stop for a moment and blah blah blah about the companies other interests.

This is still occurring as of 1.5.

For many people, the sorry state Civ5 shipped as is unforgivable. However, Civ4 release version was just nearly as bad and at the time people claim that Civ3 was superior to Civ4. Civ4 wasn't that great until Beyond the Sword. I personally think 5 is far better then 4 was. In Civ4, There wasn't much strategy to combat other than pile 6 catapults and a bunch of units and ram the enemy army. Then mop up.

I wish I could participate but I have finals. Anyone else participating from the forums?

Now good luck getting to it their servers are hell overloaded.

This is happening for me as well. I'm running no mods. Fully patched.

Ah, yes 1UPT does not make sense if you have tactical combat. I was talking about strategic combat. Tactical combat should handle 1UPT and ZOC mechanics...which it does in FE.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="21" id="3426308"] Civ IV for the stacking and fighting [/quote] 1UPT is strategically superior than stack of doom especially with ZOC mechanics. It kinda hurt Civ5 at least initially because the AI couldn't move units properly and the maps where way too small. In stack of doom unit positioning does not matter that much. Otherwise yes to everything else.
