September is the projected release date of Civ V. I doubt that Elemental will want to compete with it. You call a planned August 24 release date not wanting to co

[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="104" id="2640055"] But can that Dragon Fly Over a Mountain? (Strategic Map) I guess it will depends about the height of the mountain: if it is too tall (think Everest), there won't be enough air available to allow the dragon to fly [/quote] Don't make me bash you with large heavy objects, it hurts :P

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="45" id="2640386"]In the long run, the pirates are going to wreck the experience for everyone else. People have been screaming about Ubisoft's DRM but you know what? Their sales are WAY up on those titles versus the titles that don't have that DRM. Every publisher I know of is seriously looking at what Ubisoft did. Look how many people are perfectly happy with Steamworks in their games already? Sure, you just have to be online to play the

[quote who="wilebill" reply="22" id="2640564"]Read about Deus Ex Revolution. Really just not my style. Bulletstorm is by Epic Games and People Can Fly, the studio that did Painkiller. I guess if I wanted a game of this type I would go with Painkiller Black Edition which you can get on Impulse for $9.99. Same basic idea. Don't really like the music behind either one, though. Playing with your kills to me is a lot like playing with your food. Naughty. Agree the trailers fo

[quote who="Heigar" reply="41" id="2640290"]These type of debates are really entertaining. Especially the people who try to justify there actions by saying " I wouldn't have bought it anyway, so me stealing it, the IP holder wouldn't have gotten my money anyway and aren't losing anything" statements are just idiotic.. If you weren't going to buy it anyway ( then you really didn't need it) does not give you the right to go and steal it.... Taking something without the consent of the

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="15" id="2640148"] Quoting Raven X, reply 12 They didn't make Invisible War for the consoles did they? [...]They did. It's why all the core game mechanics are different. [/quote] Ahh, I didn't know there was a console port of that. From the sounds of it that's just another reason why I'm glad I bought it on PC.

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="39" id="2640252"] but I think you meant except.[/quote] lol Indeed. I did mean except. Ok, so I'm doing a little more research. I know I remember reading the entire Patriot Act when it was posted in the news papers and on-line when it was passed and the strict impression I got was that they no longer needed a warrant. After doing some more digging I'm finding that they say they Do need a warrant , " unless " th

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="35" id="2640090"] "Joe Blow" who watches a movie on a Chinese web-site that disregards US copyright law isn't costing anyone anything. Not so. If you had made the movie, paid the actors, rented or bought the equipment, slaved over the distribution and worried about the reviews...I wager you'd feel differently about it. Theft is theft...whether 'permanent' or 'temporary' (i.e. 'just viewing'). Either way it's all going to

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="33" id="2640054"] BTW....references to fighting Nazis, etc.....that was to do things like, you know....put an end to the holocaust...invasions...world dominance...genocide..... not the 'rights' of some brat to freely steal from others. Indeed. Bravo! . Loose similes and metaphors cannot justify piracy. Overblown hype cannot either. If you take something w/o permission, that is theft. End of story. How harshly it shou

Whee it ties up the courts and pisses off enough people who complain to their congressman that they were incorrectly sued it will force the gov to pass laws and restrictions and stick their noses into what and who is doing what on the internet, [/quote] Quite right.

double post, my bad.

Just noticed the site Newzbin is back up and running. Guess some-one picked up the code floating around the internet unless the original guys got a government bailout lol. Edit: just saw this in the "News" section. "We are pleased to announce that Newzbin2 is now live and featuring unfiltered NZB Reports. There are catches and we don't want you having too high expectations for now. To be blunt, we've been struggling to understand the site code & systems. The ba

[quote who="louist" reply="11" id="2639607"]Well, I played through the first one maybe 6 times (?) but only properly completed it 3 or 4 times. Some character builds just didn't do it for me As for Invisible War, I played through it once and a tiny bit through a second try. It just didn't hold my interest. I'm noticing more often now (and no doubt in part because others are pointing it out as well) that multi-platform and port titles have to make sacrifices that strictl

[quote who="_PawelS_" reply="90" id="2639450"] Maybe it should be allowed to have one champion per dragon that would fly on their backs? [/quote] Definitely. in Dragonlance there are "Dragon Riders" aplenty. those will most likely definitely have to be modded in though. I don't have any idea if there will be any art assets of anyone riding a Dragon in Elemental. If not, then it becomes a question of my ability to code and possibly have to make a new art asset.
