tomshardware keeps a quickie chart.. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html i think the main problem with games from that company is usually cpu rather than gpu... not enough power and you fly into rocks whilst on seta (or whatever fast forward is called, that said.. they've killed fast forward in rebirth) XD

workless lifestyle.. sounds like star trek. without the unlimited power/resource bit. thing about population control.. is that... no one can tell whether it's working. studies have stated that pop growth would have fallen as a society techs up anyway. i remember family planning adverts decades back in hong kong - 2 kids are enough (obviously there were no penalties in law for more kids.. just a question of whether you can afford it).. nowadays, they are sayi

sure.. and that chris taylor game. was thinking/reading into the other end... stardock as a dev getting into trouble with a publisher (which is why it can't happen... anymore.. since they've been publishing their own stuff for years after getting stiffed) as opposed to stardock as a publisher getting tangled up with a dev they are publishing.

all the rubbish being sprouted about windows blue in mainstream media. almost sounds as if they'll be selling a new OS, as opposed to just slapping on an update. bit like win95 fe and win95 se. hope not. that'll be stupid.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="17" id="3354707"] Quoting alaknebs, reply 6nukes are all fairly immaterial. by nature they are defensive weapons, those who use it 1st are dead meat. That's rubbish. They have been 'used' twice...both times as offensive weapons [defensive weapons is largely an oxymoron, anyway]...and the 1st to use them are alive and well....just killing each other one bullet at a time.... ....oh, yes....with their defensive weapons.

no offence.. but can anyone imagine him working on both his own game in a small team environment. and then get lumped with a big budget title.... rts no less? has he done rts before? for that matter, why would stardock fund 2 bids?

they'll outsource it for a few years and then panic XD --- and... jon shafer?? that's one strange guess. doesn't he have enough on his plate as it is?

wait.... if someone bid 800k 1st round..... and the 2nd place @400k drops out.. eh... why was there another round for the 800k to go to 1 mil+ whilst SD remains 2nd place?! if cataclysm isn't part of that bundle.. who owns it?
