They got funded, but there's still a day and a half to get in and help them with their stretch goals. Apparently they've already added atomic squirrels to the game. Awesome.

[quote who="joasoze" reply="1" id="3296977"]I am already in this and Forsaken Fortress. I have a feeling that these two projects would easily be funded in the summer. Now there are so many good projects, that even good ones might not get funded. The kickstarter page is really awful for finding stuff as well.[/quote] That's very true. It seems like every time I look at KS, I find new projects that I'd love to fund. I've backed 7 different games already, and I

I went with the stronger CPU and weaker GPU for my rig 4 years ago (Phenom II X4 955 BE and the 260 GTX) and have no regrets. Only until last year have I had to turn down some of the higher graphics settings.

Using a stock cooler or going aftermarket?

These guys even have a "playable alpha demo" on their kickstarter page. The demo feels like they're just basically re-creating DK2, but I imagine that if they can have DK2 as their "base game", and then use their kickstarter funds to add on what they want, this could finally be the long awaited Dungeon Keeper 3.

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="2" id="3291663"]I'd build my own. For that kind of loot, you could build a much better rig than you can buy![/quote] Yep, this. Just built a rig for my sister for $500. If I had bought the equivalent rig at Costco or something, would've set me back ~$800-$1,000. For $950 you could make a really sweet build depending on if you already have some of the peripherals (mouse, keyboard, monitor) from an old computer that you're happy

[quote who="Naaarf" reply="27" id="3291115"] I saw and bought it yesterday. Great game so far... What else are you hiding from the rest of the world, oh glorious Russia?! [/quote] I've been really impressed with the quality of games coming from Eastern European studios lately. The Witcher Series, King's Bounty Series, Fantasy Wars/Elven Legacy, Space Rangers... I'm certainly ready for more!

Looks like they got some big fish to bite! You would think that some of the base building nuts would come out of the woodwork for this. I'm still sour over the decision to cancel DK3 all those years ago. There just hasn't been a good base building game to fill the void left by DK2 (still play that all the time). Evil Genius was fun, but there were too many bugs and I always hated how locked in you were to your designs... you had better know what you're doing before placing

Rather than impatient haters, I'd like to view them as people who played SotS Prime a ton (like me) that got very used to that fleet system. Changing the mechanics to a completely different system in a niche game will tend to ruffle a few feathers. HoMM IV got a lot of flak for radically changing the game mechanics (although I thought HoMM IV was an excellent game). I don't like the mission system because it adds a layer of micromanagement that wasn't there previously (eve

Saying thing like women have better things to do than play games, is sexist because it imposes a preconceived notion, stereotype, that isn't true for a lot of women and that idea is what keeps people from hiring women in a very male workplace.

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="66" id="3288215"] Quoting jackswift85, reply 65 I guess it all depends on how you define friendship. When I think of what a "best friend" means, I think of somebody who I can connect and share anything with and expect equal reciprocation of that back. As a completely subjective way of putting it, how much you "click". I love my partner, we are honest with each other and she has a great time with my friends and I hers. We don't hide things from

[quote who="Jythier" reply="62" id="3287806"] Why did you marry them if they weren't your best friend, and second, why did you not go way out of your way to make them your best friend once you did? Marriage is a life long commitment - I can't afford to not want to be best friends with my wife, and I can't afford to not go out of my way to make sure it stays that way. She does the same thing. So we're best friends. I have men that I am al

[quote who="Glazunov1" reply="58" id="3287585"] Personal anecdote, and therefore worth no more than my ramblings, above: when I worked for a company that had for its day a very large MMORPG, we had meets every year. It really shocked the shit out of some of the players that I tended to hang around a lot with my wife. She's my best friend, has been since long before we got married more than two decades ago. I've seen films and read some very, very earnest b

Endless Space is a very fun game. It's also great because Amplitude has listened to the gaming community and added a bunch of content and features that people playing the game actually want. I was having a blast with it when it came out, and they've taken care of pretty much all the niggling things I didn't like.

Looks like something that could be really fun... like a Fort Zombie game with much better graphics and no mountain of bugs.

Always used MSE and never had problems before... but that was when it was scoring highly compared to the other free programs. Maybe it's time for a change.

I thought it was going to be that they found the remains of an alien spacecraft and are going to attempt to go inside...

Skip the paperwork that comes with firing them. Instead you save money on both ends. No salaries and no fuel to purchase to power your jet.[/quote] Well, someone already made the Soylent Green joke. Shoot.

Sui Generis just needs £2000 in 7 hours. They should get funded. :)

[quote who="Protoplazm" reply="38" id="3284756"] Again, expectations are like the uncertainty principle as to how they effect your movie experience. I personally revel in the cinematics of sweeping landscapes and turbulent emotional themes. Dramatic efforts are all about impact and emotional bearing. As an art form, cinema is one of the most dynamic, but some films disappoint on many levels. I try to always glean some redeeming aspects in a film because it *

SotS II reminds me of an interview I read about in the Wolfenstein 3D Super Secret Map & Mission guide. There was a paragraph about the development of Wolf3D and the talks between John Romero and Adrian Carmack when they were in the initial development stages of the project. I forget the exact quote but it went along the lines of, "When we first came up with the idea of Wolfenstein, we had all these great concepts like dragging bodies, switching uniforms, stealth attacks, etc. Whe
