I have on occasion used a blue-tooth ear thingy. Worked great, just press a button on the ear-piece, and talk away. Basically did not like having to wear some Startrek looking thing, so ditched it. When, and if, Mfrs. come up with a micro {near-invisible} version I would reconsider them, although walking around appearing to converse with thin air has its drawbacks lol...

[quote]question 12. What other platform would you like to see Stardock invest in? (then a list of tablets, phones, and other tech toys...) NONE![/quote] Ditto. Seeing as how the only "Device" I have has Android OS, I said Android, but only because it was mandatory choice...

I would give you Karma but, you relish the idea that I would give you Karma, alas, it will never be.

Hey guys, Interesting ideas from all sides. Maybe my grasp or understanding of FE's capabilities are flawed or unsubstantiated. Partly by my own designs I have not read too much on modding & the game universe & rules as I do not want that info to influence any future plans I have brewing.... Isn't FE Moddable? Couldn't a Modder who wants a feature, design that feature into a stand alone map? Short version: Modder designs a ma

I would give you Karma, but I got so sh%tfaced last night I can't move from the couch to my PC and press a button.

I'll relate two stories to you from my POV. I live in an CIS country. A couple I know, 10 years ago, had opened a small internet cafe where people could play games on PCs. A policeman/gov't person comes in and tells them they must pay $200 or so per game they are offering people. They go out of business as $200 x a lot of games is a huge/insurmountable amount of money for a small business in this country. Had they paid a smaller "fee" to said go

I don't know. I "usually" have access to Internet one way or another. I like Steam, and seeing as how I have internet, no problem. But, I do not like that I have to be "verified" by steam each and every time I want to fire up a game. It's a situation I don't think about that often because its a seamless process, that is handled by the Steam Interface. Does it really change anything in the BIG picture? No, people/groups

@OP: Choice of MoBo depends a lot on what you want that PC to be capable of and what your budget is. Like, you specify you want 32 Gigs Ram, which tells me you do more than just gaming, browsing, googling, etc. So...yeah

[quote who="starkers" reply="6" id="3298497"]Like I said, it suits my needs and is quite comfortable to use. I can sit back from the screen [2 plus metres] and still see everything clearly without squinting or straining my eyes. Different horses for different courses, Right?

In the PC I have that has a UEFI Mobo, the UEFI is not accessible from Windows. Only at boot. Its just an enhanced interface for otherwise keyboard only Bios, or basically I can use a mouse...which, in itself, is better. I love it though, lots of features, and plenty of variables to tweak. SS

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="9" id="3290949"]In general, UEFI is not a good technology. The main drive behind it is the attempt to lock your computer, because uefi supports booting to so called "trusted" platforms only - basically, it containts a set of public keys (provided by the manufacturer), and will boot only to an OS that was signed by one of those keys when "Secure Boot" is enabled. The original specification stated that there must be an off switch for Secure Boot on desktops, but

My solution has always been to turn off/disable ANYTHING that allows a download to my PC w/o my interaction...Windows Updates, Jave Updates, Adobe Updates, Driver updates, DirectX, any C++ updates, any PhysX updates, and never even click on images,etc. in emails I am not 99% certain is okay. I run a relatively "open" PC for Overclocking/gaming reasons, but have not had an issue in years {no AV/all control done via windows FW}. Is this a reasonable strategy for a home-user? Whe

Doh! Zombies?!!! What is the purpose of these Zombies? Identity theft? Banking Info theft? Email contacts theft in order to send those tricky emails supposedly from a familiar, somewhat trusted source (ie. email from "Mom" but really a hi-jacked email from some twit in Nigeria) Obviously, knowing a little about the Nature of Man, these Zombies want to get sensitive, exploitable information to be used for nefarious purposes {ie. monetary ga

[quote who="Nibelung44" reply="16" id="3313607"]-Tireless March is +1 move to the unit enchanted with it[/quote] I agree totally with you on that point. T.M. is a "Strategic UNIT spell" not "Strategic ARMY spell", I only discovered this by casting T.M. and noting that T.M. propagates army-wide when cast on a Hero. Once I had maybe 7 or 8 heroes, most, if not all, my active army stacks moved at least 2 tiles though Forests etc. Made a big difference when I was debating moves around wan

I would give you Karma, but then I would have to go without, and that will never happen.

I would give you Karma, but I am rationing Karma, as I only have 8 left.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="21" id="3311478"]Guys, I don't think many of you are getting the level of hate that gets directed at people these days. I get called "retard", "moron", "fucktard", "douchebag", etc. pretty regularly. That's nothing. What people don't realize is that there are people out there who will put serious effort into antagonizing the people who make their games (if they're accessible). I've had people PM me saying t

I would give you Karma, but I rolled a 1, which as you know is a critical failure so even if I were to invoke my special "Dungeon Master" Powers, I still wouldn't give you Karma. Lady Luck has failed you Sir.

I suppose I am in the minority here, but I enjoyed Elemental:War of Magic. I don't know where you can get it, I don't see it on Steam. On another topic I just picked up Gal Civ I&II for $14.99 on Steam...I felt that was a no brainer. WoM can be fun, FE IS better, in so many ways I can't begin to post them all here, but hey, its proably going for $5 or so somewhere online...

Ends up it was super easy. Maybe 15 minutes to test it out with 0 prior experience. That included creating a test map to put the Ship in.... I wasn't even sure I had done it right seeing as how the Ships ended up being classified as . Probably something I did wrong, since I ended up in a pitched battle with an empty ship lying by the side of a mountain....I won by the way, in case you were wondering [e digicons]:ninja:[/e] I know there is a disclaimer r
