RavenX

They need to learn to make/release OS's slower. For the last few years of the 90's and early into 2000 it seemed like all MS was doing was putting a new number on the box, adding a couple bugs, and re-releasing last year's OS. The jump between XP and Vista was a total sh!t storm and MS knows it. Hell, when I built this system Win 7 wasn't out yet, Vista had been out for a few years ( and was still a P.O.S. ), and XP was getting old. Still, I picked up a fresh boxed copy

[quote who="AlLanMandragoran" reply="2" id="2895990"]Until they fix it you can try naming the cities such as "Capital1", "Food1", "Arcane1", etc. Not very roleplayish but it helps alot when trying to remember what city does what. [/quote] I use a letter and numerical value after the city name, for instance: Ravenloft F1 "Ravenloft" being the cities name, and F1 meaning it has a level 1 food bonus. Preferably though, fixing the issue would be best.

That's a great update chief :). Forgive me if I'm wrong, but, the description above seems to fit in a lot with what was originally planned with Elemental doesn't it? If not what "was planned", then perhaps I should say what "was wanted"? I know we've covered these ideas before, especially city specialization, which I my-self made a post about a long time back. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's in the big Idea's List. :) Yeap, here it is: <span style="f

Here it is, chief :), knew I saw this somewhere.

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="1" id="2896775"] Please rethink making MP a cut-down version of SP. At the very least, make a co-op mode with all SP functionality, and how about having battles involving more than two sides? What about allies being able to join in battles with their team-mates? It would be fantastic if you could balance well, having 2 players vs 2 players in the one battlefield, for example. And this would fit a lot better with Elemental being

[quote quoting="post"]Please add a hotseat option for multi-player. I love playing elemental, but I am not into online multiplayer. I have always enjoyed sitting in front of one computer with a few friends and playing our turns one at a time, sitting together and chatting as we played. Please bring back hotseat play. If not in this installment then in the next. [/quote] This

[quote who="LightStar" reply="10" id="2913239"]Signed. I actually enjoy that show, be a shame to see it go. [/quote] Thanks, LightStar :)

[quote who="Uvah" reply="6" id="2913219"]Thanks for the links. I'll get back to ya. [/quote] Anytime my friend. You can also watch some episodes at the show's page on Hulu if you want, here: http://www.hulu.com/no-ordinary-family

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="5" id="2913217"]Done. Only because you asked nicely with correct grammar. And because your heart is in the right place or reasonably close to, for a member of your species. [/quote] Thanks Doc, much appreciated brother :). It is indeed a very rare occasion when my heart is in the "right place" as well. Usually I advocate shows that teach hot 18 year old chicks about the advantages of prostitution and how to make a nam

[quote who="kona0197" reply="14" id="2912934"]Random thought: One could buy a decent PC cheaper than the PS3 and a few games. Why not just connect a bunch of low end PCs that are more powerful than the PS3? [/quote] You know, that's actually a Really Good Question. You can get a motherboard and processor chip that's far more powerful than a PS3 for less than half the cost. This leads me to believe there must be some kind of "non-obvious" advantage to using the PS3 set-up

Heavenfall, out of curiosity, what difficulty were you playing on during that battle you describe above?

[quote who="Uvah" reply="1" id="2913187"]I haven't watched TV in over a year. (Can't afford it) So I don't know anything about the new or not so new shows out there. Perhaps if you'd give a brief description of what the show is about.

Well, so far this season I've seen too many good shows come and go, forever to leave their story-lines hanging at cliff-hangers that will never be resolved. Also, all of us have had to deal with the horrific rash of un-inspired, cookie cutter copies, of crime drama's, medical drama's, teenage sing alongs, and scores and scores of other mediocre shows that never should have been put to film in the first place. It's time we tell the broadcasting mega-corporations that w

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="61" id="2913026"]Just had a moment of total awesome. Had 4 (1 bow, 3 katana) units defending a castle come under siege. The enemy had like 24 units or something (alliance attack! how cool is that). So I know I'm going to lose, and I almost hit the auto-resolve button. I mean, the castle doesn't even have any towers. But I decide to make them bleed for every inch in the motherland. So first the enemy sends in the spearunits and I mean they just

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="11" id="2912818"] It would be great if normal people (or a hacker) could take control of the cameras and record stuff themselves. Think about it Raven! It would be like "Big Brother: RavenX edition" [/quote] LoL that would be cool :) I think what I'd do though is aim the camera at a women's rest room or shower door or something, then blame the cops for doing it, then call all the local TV stations. That should put a

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="18" id="2912641"] By the way, on a more personal note, I hope you're feeling better and that the insurance hassle straightened out. [/quote] Thanks Doc, I appreciate that my friend. Unfortunately the health department is still screwing me over. Every time I've called or went down there for the last 5 weeks I've gotten the same run-around. They say "I'm sorry sir, your account is still updating or in limbo. We've called and email

Good find, Doc. Thanks :) [e digicons]k1[/e] for you brother.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="16" id="2912615"] Quoting RavenX, reply 15 Seriously, watch the video I posted above. It's nuts, scary, and brings up the distinct ethical problems we need to be thinking about now as a society. I absolutely agree, RavenX. Using plant/animal products doesn't necessarily mean violating them [another in our infinitely long acts of violence]... sequencing their genes to produce that substance [gecko glue]

This would truly be a great boon to many fields. Sadly, I'll bet it won't be long until the governments of the world start turning this kind of surveillance against it's own people en'mass. Right now, London England is the most heavily watched city in the world, followed by either New York or Paris, not sure which, but one of those two is in second place. Of course this kind of surveillance has it's advantages, like seeing a car accident and knowing who was truly at fault

Thinking more about it, there are some serious Ethical Issues involved here. Especially when they can now take away a creatures free will and control it's brain via computer. Don't believe that? It's true. Watch the end of the video above. They've done it with insects and even a rat. They're calling it a "Robo-Rat" and they're also calling it a "Organic Robot". The experiment they talk about with the monkey controlling a robotic arm is pretty insane. This research is l

I really like this one: 17. Nanoscale Adhesive Gecko feet are covered with nano-size hairs that exploit intermolecular forces, allowing the lizards to stick firmly to surfaces. By replicating this nanoscale topography, MIT scientists have developed an adhesive that can seal wounds or patch a hole caused by a stomach ulcer. The adhesive is elastic, waterproof and made of material that breaks down as the injury heals. Read more: <a style="co

Well, Sims Medieval must be awesome. My wife loves it and hasn't stopped playing it for like 3 days/nights now. Since I got it for her, she's either been working, sleeping, or playing the Sims Medieval while checking her Facebook in the background. While she has played Sims 3 for a long period of time, she often stops and takes a break from it for as much as a couple weeks at a time, then she'll pick it back up and play it for a few days, then stop for a week, then play it for a f

[/quote] YouPorn PornTube Megashare Novamov MovShare :P .... LoL J/K on those. Seriously though, maybe Hulu and Fancast and GameSpot could be useful as they legally show TV shows we often talk about, movie trailers, and of course game-play from video games.

[quote who="Savyg" reply="44" id="2910405"]Hey I'm not disagreeing with you, but I am 32 so I'm not a newbie gamer here. I just started with FPSes way too young *grin* My UDIC friends liked Ultima6/7, I liked Ultima Underworlds. Still don't get as into the Fallout games as others seem to. 3 was good, New Vegas...don't really care about. I like what they tried to do but the setting and the frustrating bits can eat me. No shortage of games to play whatever
