RavenX

Witcher 2 does look like it'll be pretty good. I don't think I like the look of the two main bad guys though. They look like hobo's you'd run into in a dark alley, not like sneaky, stealthy, assassins who kill kings. I hope they have something better then that up their sleeves for villains.

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="26" id="2592747"] Quoting Raven X, reply 21 My philosophy Won't help someone chose a game if they're looking to "get their money's worth" but it will help them buy the games that are about the things they like. Just as your example given about "Africa and the Endless Ocean". Many people wouldn't like games like those. If you go into it knowing you like the subject content though does it really matter? Someone who likes m

Check this out Raven, you will like it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qkMmT16MUY [/quote] lol that was funny. Check this one out, complete ownage.

[quote who="Splitshadow" reply="40" id="2592618"]This just in: You all now realize the title of this thread is a play on words: raven reviews -> raving reviews [/quote] lol, nice one. Note: I should probably go back and re-edit the whole post and just say .... "Nope, nm, the game's craptastic, next!!"

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="19" id="2592649"] How exactly does your philosophy actually help someone choose a game? The reason people read reviews is to figure out whether they should throw their 60 dollars down for a game or not. Your position takes place after the purchase and not before which is completely useless in the decision part of the equation. As for sharing your like of a game despite medicore or low scores, well word of mouth and fan reviews work real well for that. I usually

The best advice I can give... Like what you like, don't like what You don't like, and to hell with what anyone else things. Be your own person even if that means you're the only person in the world playing a particular game. As long as you like it and it makes you happy, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Don't be a clone.

The conversation really should get back on topic, but, just to clear up a few misconceptions. A: That case I quoted did come from America, right here in Florida. B: The parents aren't getting money from any kind of law suite. The State will be the ones making the profit. They are having the State "press charges" because technically, even though all the kids went to school together, had been boyfriend and girlfriend for apparently quite a while, and the girls consented,

Bara [/quote] According to that count it says I now have 27 Karma. I too would have to say it "looks" ok but I know for the last month or more I had 30 Karma. It also says 27 Karma from 23 users. I don't post on GalCiv2's forums

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="150" id="2591136"] Now, this is currently a point of interest of mine. Intelligence, as in raw intelligence, is lower today than it was 20 years ago and lower than it was 100 years ago, at least statistically. Some of this can be accounted for in the lack of funding our public schools receive. However, it can also be accounted to us relying on technology so much that we forget to use our own brains for the most basic of pro

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="148" id="2591092"] Now, this is where I have to stop and disagree. Ignoring the fact that human evolution has produced no discernable effects over the last 500 years or so of recorded medical human history and many debate that the invention of medicine and our combined technologies have stunned human evolution significantly as we've allowed the weak to survive and all that jazz, you're arguing that we've evolved to a point over the course o

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="146" id="2591051"] And I won't argue to the contrary because I agree; children are like spounges and love to mimic what they see, thus they love to act older than they are. Lower the age of consent to 15 and you lower the room for development and advance the generational desensatisation that we're seeing; what happens when 10 year olds want to act like 15 year olds? Ask any Human Development teacher from your local high school - children's bodies develop

[quote who="eobet" reply="27" id="2590724"] quoting post Greetings! New road system Are there discussions on how this might be implemented? I'm curious, because as I mentioned in another post, with the globalization of resources, there seems to be a micromanagement layer removed in the game, which should imply that there already exists trade routes and supply routes that enables these resources to

[quote who="Magicke" reply="2" id="2590840"] I'm not sure what games I was playing then, maybe it was those SSI games which were pretty fun for the most part. I had so much fun playing the original Pool of Radiance. Actually completed game, which is rare. "Then again....I'm old " Then you will probably be fun to play against in multiplayer beta 2; if your testing that feature? Anyways, age doesn't mean much online. &nb

[quote who="Denryu" reply="12" id="2590711"] I think you are going to run into some of the problems you mention above no matter what you CALL a turn. In other words, if you call a turn a day, and some things seem to fast and others drag on to uselessness, then it still seems like there is going to be a sense of "Hey how come it takes me as long to make a sword as it takes to do "x" in regards to the dynasty system?". There's going to be that lack of coherence to the passage of time even

[quote who="EadTaes" reply="28" id="2590900"]So it's likely that the game just doesn't like my GFX card. [/quote] Try a different build of drivers. If the newest ones are causing you issues try rolling back to the version before, or even the version before that until you find one that's stable with Elemental. Also try adjusting some of your advanced options like AA. Sometimes disabling some things can fix specific errors.

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="144" id="2591003"] The point of childhood is to develop; if they are not allowed to develop at their own pace we encounter what we have today; 12 year old drug dealers and thugs crawling the streets at all hours of the night. I'm not talking about locking up your children till their 18 and making them think that the world is a magical place filled with rainbows and eskimos - I'm talking about allowing a child to grow over time - span out their induction i

[quote who="louist" reply="132" id="2590744"] My example above points out what we should already know intrinsically: that law is drafted by people, individuals, each with their own ideals, passions, beliefs and faults. Individuals who are capable of making mistakes or even of willfully doing harm for their own gain. Of course, the democratic system used by our host countries does not place all that responsibility within the hands of individuals. But a sub-committee, or a committee, or ev

This post just keeps getting better and better, Winter. Well done.

Fantastic news!!!! I need as HUGE a Map as possible to recreate Ansalon . :)

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="67" id="2590413"] No problem. I don't suppose you could point me towards the link to those forums? I trawled around on the E:EE forums for a little while, but I couldn't find any mention of your mod. [/quote] Looking at the forums there I don't see the section for the Dragonlance Mod unless I log in. I'll have to talk to Strager about that. I know I see them when I log in because I'm the modorator. I think Strager needs to make them viewable by e

I can help with your writing Strager. I've done that before for game items and quests and even skills.

[quote who="kryo" reply="2" id="2590364"]Done. Maybe if we ask real nicely anyone who's making a Mod can get some Mod privs on that section of the forums Not going to happen. [/quote] Yeah, if you see the rest of my reply I didn't really think it would have been a good idea anyway. Too many possible ramifications. While we have your attention though, Kryo, could you please Sticky the thread on the Mod Forums that has the list of Elemental Mods

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="65" id="2590370"]Updated! RavenX's Dragonlance Mod now has a link to his thread, and Elemental: Expanded Editon has been added. Now if we could just get this stickied (hint hint hint ) [/quote] Thanks Kyogre12. The Dragonlance Mod also has a section open for discusion on the Elemental: Expanded Edition's forums (thanks to Strager). (Edit: He's right, this thread should be Stickied...Please Kryo [e digicons]:pout:[/e] )
