[quote who="John_Hughes" reply="63" id="2625154"] It would seem prudent for the DEV to make said patches available for download in a .exe format as well. [/quote] They Won't do that. I think it's set in stone somewhere that they don't....thanks a lot Impulse. Half way through the Gal Civ 2 they stopped those patches and made it so you had to go through them to get the patches. Kinda sucked when that happened because I always got my patches through FilePlanet and then

[quote who="LightStar" reply="48" id="2625012"] I disagree; the internet's sole purpose is to facilitate the transfer of information ("sharing", if you will). I totally agree with you on this one Darvin3, with one exception. That line should read "I disagree; the internet's sole purpose is to facilitate the transfer of LEGAL information ("sharing", if you will)." [/quote] Now That, I can agree with, LightStar. Well said, my friend.

[quote who="myfist0" reply="8" id="2624770"]When do children listen to there parents? The only people that lie more are politicians. Even most people have no idea how many people have access to the info they share until its to late. I watched that show where they lour the child predators and catch them on TV. I guess thats a life changing experience for the pervert but like cockroaches, for every one you see there is 100 more in the dark. [/quote] That's

[/quote] Wow..you know Den, from your posts I always thought you were younger then that. I knew you were an adult and had some experience and everything, I just didn't think you were that old. Freakin old farts...geez. hehe J/K brother ;) Awesome games list as well. You named off some of my All Time Favs too.

So how come no-one does anything about China? China gives US copyright law a big F'kYOU every day and no one in the US government does anything about it. I can name off a half dozen Chinese websites that Are Not Filtered or Blocked that anyone can go to and watch almost any US TV show ever made. You can go to some of them and watch every-single-episode of Start Trek, ALL The series, any time you want for free. I don't know if they allow downloads or anything like that as I'v

[quote who="Jafo" reply="43" id="2624872"] I must have missed something. The only thing that comes to mind when I think "DA" is Dragon Age....either that or District Attorney, Deviantart.com ... a 'sister' site to Wincustomize.com in that we both rose/emanated from the ashes of skinz.org...ultimately towards different ends. Devart is 'the' significant resource for online graphic art/expression, however it has no pre-emptive content moderation which means it is exp

That sounds Amazing, Frogboy. Hey, wait a minute, you're some marketing guy pretending to be Frogboy aren't you? hehe J/K. Elemental is truly a groundbreaking game both in terms of design and in technology. I believe after the Smash Hit that Elemental will be you'll be seeing a lot of "clones" popping up all taking advantage of a 64bit environment trying to be as grand as Elemental, but they'll fail, miserably. What you and the Stardock team have done by having such open lines

It's pretty funny to me actually. There was a time I Loved MySpace. I had over 300 readers a day reading my blog on a average day. There were times I'd get 200 or 300 comments on a poem I'd write and for a while I even cared about being on the stupid "Top Blogger" list for poetry. I did make some good friends there. People I still stay in contact with to this day. People who have sent me mail in real life, and some times other things too. One girl I know even sent me a home-made blank

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="37" id="2624588"] Then you must have no trouble with torrent sites since they "don't actually deal in content" they just connect one from one source to another. Seeing as Newzbin was basically a directory for torrent sites, your post makes you look silly. Would you agree that your local phone book should be allowed to list prostitutes, drug dealers, and hit men in the yellow pages, simply because the publisher of the book isn't a party

[quote who="vStyler" reply="26" id="2623801"] Any luck on the DA scoundrel I PM'd u about yet then ? [/quote] I must have missed something. The only thing that comes to mind when I think "DA" is Dragon Age....either that or District Attorney, which as far as I know ALL Attorneys ARE scoundrels...lol. [quote who="LightStar" reply="30" id="2624308"]Excellent! Another illegal (posting links is the same as hosting the downloads) cr

I kinda don't like the "vibe" it gives off having Elemental lumped in with those "lesser" games there, chief. Please tell me Elemental is deeper then all those POS's combined :P. I know Elemental has some RTS features, but you lumped it in with nothing but sub standard RTS's there (except for maybe Demigod). Maybe that's just my opinion though :P

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="21" id="2623951"] Oh, my understanding at the time was that they were bought out, but I guess I was wrong. I'm positive though that they changed publishers, it's published by Future US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Power. Regardless, they changed the style, and I didn't really like it. I was also disappointed that they have apparently stopped doing the Nintendo Power game guides. I always thought they were of higher quality than other ones (not that I use

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="16" id="2623747"]But why would you need that? I mean the Wii has a wireless connection built in.

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="13" id="2623593"] This confuses me abit, so I think I might be misunderstanding you. The Wii does not require a wireless adapter of any kind. The adapter should be for a wired connection. Natively, the wii uses wireless. [/quote] The adapter I'm talking about is called the "Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector". It's nothing but a cable with a tiny white box on the end. At the very end of the "white box" there is what looks like the transmitter on the end

[quote who="kyogre12" reply="10" id="2623404"] Poor Nintendo Power, how I miss thee I haven't been around long enough to be a life-time subscriber, but I still have 150+ issues of it. But when they got bought by... who ever it was who bought them, I felt like the quality went way down, and the number of ads went way up. I tried to give them a chance, but I ended up not renewing.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="6" id="2623041"] On a more personal note, Jafo (and please don't take this the wrong way), but when-ever any kind of subject like this is broached on the forums you appear to have a rather large chip on your shoulder. This thread appears on Wincustomize.com .... a site which LEGALLY hosts artists' work [IP]. Much of my time is spent either hunting down people who 'pirate' our members' works...or help members 'hunt them down'. I

[quote quoting="post"]I’m going to write more about this shortly but having had my iPad for about 3 weeks I have to say that the iPad and other devices like it are going to murder large sections of the Windows based market. And as a Windows software developer, that doesn’t make me happy. If you are producing “stuff” the Windows-centric world is still central. But for everyone else who are consumers of content, these new devices are a huge th

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="2" id="2622203"]Indeed, the Virtual Console is a feature more Wii owners should take advantage of. Though sadly fewer old school classics are being ported while more new WiiWare titles are coming out, but then I guess they've had over three years all to themselves already.
