[quote who="SIN-Imperium" reply="7" id="2563016"]The idea is that a person her age should know how a fourteen year old is and how difficult it is for them to resist that sort of offer and not to tap into it for twisted self-gratification. The blame isn't on the fourteen year old (though you are right in that he is responsible for his own decisions) but it is on the woman for the choice she made from a position of maturity--a choice most fourteen year olds aren't fuilly equipped to make.

[quote who="Haree78" reply="5" id="2562869"]The laws are there to protect minors for when the older person has totally corrupted them, and it does happen. Even girls as young as 10 can fancy men, does that mean it's alright in your book that if she does and the older guy teaches her some things that's cool? At the end of the day you have to have a cut off age, whether the young girl/boy wants it or not is not the issue, I know I wanted it before I even had a

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="1" id="2562731"]She is hot, but I have seen some dogs in the news. Would you have jumped at the chance to do it with a not so pretty one when you were 14? Just curious. [/quote] lol Probably. When I was 14 I was the worlds biggest Horn Dog. Honestly, when I think back to the girl I lost my virginity to....man, she was UUUUUUGLY. When I was a teenage horn dog I'd do any chick I could get my hands on just about. Of cours

I just thought of something. A "Water Walking" spell or buff would solve the whole "instant river in my way" problem.

@ Darias and Ravenstrike: The Devs (and us testers) are aware that currently there are some pretty bad memory leaks in the game. This is the most common cause of current "unexplained" crashes I'd imagine. Of course there are other crash bugs, gameplay bugs, bugs related to systems not fully implemented, etc etc, but it shouldn't be locking up systems or causing systems to overheat and shut down. Things like the later definitely deserve a bug report to be filed. On a

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="5" id="2560150"]I might have to look into this. I've been nostalgic for old school PC RPGs for awhile (though I still play pen and paper occasionally). Edit: Some sites say that all of them after Avernum 3 are original, not remakes of exile. [/quote] That's somewhat true. They stopped the Exile series at number 3 and then made a game called "Blades of Exile" which became "Blades of Avernum". Avernum 4, 5, and 6 are continuations of 1,2,and

[quote who="Magicke" reply="13" id="2559663"] Heya Malachite. I am glad you took the time to respond with a fairly good argument. However, I am not sure this will be accurate- "I would still urge Brad that at some point when the title reaches full maturity in terms of sales to avoid this method and release a FINAL patch that can be used without the servers to remove this constraint from collectors / archivist like myself." I know most like

While it's true that is standard fare, I'd still report it. It could mean the game has a problem specifically with your Type of configuration, in which point they would want to know so they can make it run on as many machines as possible. Hope that helps.

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="81" id="2558977"]Hmm, maybe they will allow for us to upgrade once half of them are otherwise sold? [/quote] That would be Incredibly Lame. They should give us the option to get the Limited Edition FIRST if you ask me. I would have bought that version from the start anyway but it wasn't available then. Seeing as how we've already given SD the money (or we wouldn't be in the beta) we should have the option to Upgrade First. Just my thoughts.

I know a few good Hentia games that don't involve any combat, then again if she doesn't like combat I'm guessing she probably won't like a game that has massive amounts of sex in it either. A difficult task lays ahead of you, sir.

If I'm not mistaken Vegas is kinda close to where the original game takes place isn't it? Of course the original covered about half the American West.

[quote who="Anomander" reply="2" id="2559806"]*PC gaming to one side You had me there... I thought this was really about 'Old School RPG' I never understand this US confusion with RPGs and Tabletop RPG. The old school RPG I remember was always just pen and paper...never figures. [/quote] Well, that's true. The first RPG for many of us was probably table top, pen and paper D&D. I was playing D&D when I was 10 and 11 years old. This is the "PC Gaming" section tho

[quote who="DethAdder" reply="52" id="2554314"] Every other year? lol It would be nice if I had the money to build a new rig "every other year". Try every 4-5 years if I'm lucky. That sounds like me. I had a 128MB Geforce 6800OC I held onto till just over a year or so ago(along with an XP3000 CPU). I finally broke down and grabbed a Phenom and GTX260 when I started finding games I couldn't meet the minimum on. It will probable be another 3 or more years before planning t

On a side note this makes me think about the "Quests" system in Elemental and about your roaming parties of Adventurers. Imagine if you're party of adventurers in Elemental comes to a un-explored tower and then when they go inside you get to play as them in a mode that looks like this (with Elemental graphics of course). It could be a little small building map and you'd control your heroes (not a army) as from what I've seen about the Quests System in Elemental the Quests are done by sma

Do you ever miss the OLD Days of computer gaming. How about finding hidden cities on Ultima 2 or 3? Searching caves for loot in Dragon Warrior? How about some of those old 8 and 16 bit D&D games that were released on the old consoles and played like Story Rich campaigns? Well, I found this cool little game that's actually a re-make of a older series by the same people. Remember the old "Exile" games? They were these RPG's but the graphics were kind of "stick-figureish". Here's a pic of th

[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="3" id="2558784"] Quoting Raven X, reply 1 Very cool. I'm actually a little excited for UFO: Extraterrestrials 2. Check out the site Here. I think it would be awesome if Stardock made a X-Com clone. I think they could do the original justice while adding their own spin on it. I'm also hoping Irrational and Firaxis will announce their respective X-Com projects some time this year. wow, def

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="22" id="2557341"]Re AI: I haven't written a line of code for the AI yet. Right now, I'm just assigning one of my developers to write APIs for me to later use. [/quote] Good to know. I think the simplest answer would be when a player puts water between his kingdom and the AI that the AI should just raise the land back up so it's crossable and not under water, Or have it build boats and ferry units across the gap to me.

[quote who="Machina" reply="8" id="2555877"]I'm going to get this because I'm so desperate for any 4X, but I'm skeptical about how worthwhile it'll be. Armada 2526 was a let down (mostly due to poor AI for me). Here's hoping, though. [/quote] This is pretty much my thought as well. I'll keep an eye on this though. It looks like it has potential.

[quote who="edpfister" reply="2" id="2555819"] If you liked the first one you'll really enjoy this one. You shouldn't pass it up if you have a little spare cash and like a good RTS. I have seen a lot of comments from people saying the new version is dumbed down and has smaller maps. You do not think this is the case? The first Supreme Commander was my favorite RTS game. From what I've seen I think I will like this game but I'm worried I won't like

[quote who="Aractain" reply="1" id="2555779"]Interesting review. I see your not one of the people demanding the heads of all those involved. Do you own a console system? Anyway would you say this is a strategy game, or a real time tactics game? I played TA and SupCom as strategy games. Large groups of combined arms forces supported by air. Large reinforcement groups. A loose "platoon/brigade" system based on 3/4 units as a 'squad'. (it wasn't the best

[quote quoting="post"]Maybe the game press could grow a spine and tell people not to buy this draconian DRM crap.[/quote] That, unfortunately, will never happen within the professional level press. Why? Because if games don't sell and continue to make a dent in the consumer market, then all these "Game Reviewers" will be out of a job because there won't be any games (or enough games) to warrant having to pay someone to review them all. I'd say it's pretty much common knowledge
