[quote who="Annatar11" reply="8" id="2898460"]I'd wait until the mission maker actually releases....So there've been good changes, but there's still a lack of content, which the mission maker should address. [/quote] So they're fixing their lack of content problem by putting out a mission maker so the community can put out a bunch of crap-tastic missions?
Yesterday (Sunday) GameStop called me up to tell me I could pick up my copy of Dragon Age 2 Monday night at midnight, but, that I should get there early, as early as 10 P.M.. I'm guessing GameStop is having a release party and maybe even giving away some free swag (possibly DA2 shirts or something). I'm going to call them this afternoon and ask them if I should really be there a whole two hours early. If they're not going to put it in my hands until 12 A.M. I'm not going to be there two hours
Tip #6: Don't worry about Tips 1-5 since the game won't be out for basically another year :P
I took a few minutes out to check GameSpot today and saw the article/interview with Ian Fischer (Robot Entertainment), Soren Johnson (EA2D), Dustin Browder (Blizzard Entertainment), and Jon Shafer (Stardock). The article is called " The state of the strategy genre ". Here's an excerpt: (note: Johnson's reply here made me think OH HELL NO HE DIDN'T JUST SAY
This looks great, Heavenfall. Very well done my friend. Very impressive.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="130" id="2897005"]What's up, RavenX? What did you have planned? [/quote] Let me work up a plan of what I had in mind. I have to go back and find the posts in which you showed the work you did (which I think is very impressive btw :) ). I don't like to go on about my health issues but it's relevant to the topic so I don't have much choice. I've been in this chair for a couple hours already today and I'm already starting to pay for it with queasiness
[quote who="the_Monk" reply="29" id="2896698"] So......I'm confused..... This guy wants his "ownership" of the hardware he buys from apple/sony/whomever to be absolute, but by the same token then shouldn't SONY have the right to complete "ownership" of Sony-Online and be able to dictate TERMS under which and within which connection to same is allowed? an old saying "........good for the goose........good for the gander....." comes to mind............ &nb
The last hand-held gaming system I owned was the Original Gameboy. I got it when I was 10 years old. It was awesome for what it was back in the day. Since then I've had zero interest in hand-held gaming, but, the 3DS is seriously making me reconsider getting back into mobile gaming. Great post here, Don. Thanks for the info brother. :)
LoL, man, some of you guys kill me [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] . .. ... Of course, some of you also deserve a smack in the back of the head :P Any word from a Mod on what's up with this? Much appreciated, thank you :)
[quote who="Szeretni" reply="128" id="2896819"]What's the status of this mod? Is it still alive? Undead rules! [/quote] Right now, I'm afraid all my modding is on hold, or "hiatus" while I'm getting ready for the surgeries I need. I've been pretty sick (I have Crohn's disease) and I've been in too much pain to stay in a sitting up position for more than an hour or so a day. Makes it really hard to sit in front of the PC. After my surgeries my modding will continue full fo
I use a program called IESpell when making posts in forums to correct my often flawed spelling mistakes. I do this by typing out a reply, then highlighting everything I just typed, right clicking on it, and there's an option in my context menue that says "check spelling". Now I can't do that in the reply box. Please fix this. I can do it on other forums still so I know it has to be a very recent change that's been made here. Now when I highlight what I type in this box and right click
Just to bring up some stuff from the Elemental creation process relevant to this: 1. The tactical battle system is 100% new and based on initiative rather than teams taking turns. IIRC this is something a lot of people wanted in Elemental (because it's more D&D'ish). Good to see you're listening. Also, Chief, remember that "talk" we had last where you told me about the way you envisioned battles with Sovs throwing spells back and forth that could be "countered" before or a
Game looks pretty bad ass to me :)
It's nice to see some well thought out replies :). More responses coming soon. For now though, I thought it pretty interesting that the guy who hacked the PS3 is getting TONS of Donations to fight Sony in court.

[quote who="Vallu751" reply="25" id="2893992"] for your optimism RavenX! I hope you're right. Note that the battle AIs for the demo may be somewhat scripted. [/quote] Thanks, Vallu :). Also, that's quite right about the "scripted" nature of the demo battle AI, which I just found out this morning seeing someone else's comment on the official forums. It leads me to wonder just How Scripted the battle AI was/is for the demo. Finding that out now means that we really
[quote who="Vallu751" reply="15" id="2893353"] Creative Assembly actually said the very same thing of the first Shogun Total War.

[quote who="TheProgress" reply="8" id="2892928"]Demo is larger than 5 gigs. Happy downloading. [/quote] The Demo is 5,943.4 MB. I just finished downloading it. When you start the download it will say the "estimated time" is a little over an hour, but don't believe that. If you have a decent connection it should only take about 30 to 45 minutes. It took me a little over a half hour. Sadly I have to run into town and take care of a few things at the health department before I can p
