Agreed, one cannot make useful decisions on units if they don't know how combat is handled.. this has been an issue for me going back to E:Wom (feel special I tend to avoid these types of threads in general)

Personally, I would suggest an older Civ for learning. Civ III can be found really cheap with all the expansions. Gamers gate has it for like 5$ I'm sure the price is similar if you have a preferred digital distribution service. You can probably find a physical version for the same price or cheaper (not including shipping) if your adverse to DD and don't mind waiting for shipping. Civ 3 i

[quote who="alaknebs" reply="51" id="3077675"]depends on what you mean by removing imbuement. backstory is that there's a bunch of magic users called channellers who get to be bosses... eh.. sovs. if any old dog can cast spells.. what's the difference between channellers and them?

Ricky martin said and I quote glee is "a beautiful message about reality, about what really happens nowadays with kids." Now normally this is the type of story I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole but um.. what? really?? Glee has some semblance to reality about the modern experience of youth? Did high school change that much since I graduated? (granted over 10 years ago) I know its ricky martin.. so I don't expect much but omfg is this guy that much out of touch

[quote]Imbuement has been removed from the game. I loved the flavor of it, but players didnt realize they could be casting spells with their champions. And it makes the champions less unique if the thing that distinguishes them most (their access to spells) is missed. It was a bit of complexity that could be dropped without losing any good gameplay. Most notably since all the champions can cast from the start when you find enemy champions in the wilds they start lobbing spells at you. For tho

[quote who="Draakjacht" reply="26" id="3077112"]Even if the sun wobbles/rotates, if the mass is centered in the sun, it's part of the sun. We orbit it, it orbits about the galaxy which is zipping about in our cluster and so on and so on. It's not so much a detailed question of right or wrong on the orbit, but when theologians say that the universe is a layered backdrop of colored glass that spins about the earth, I'm fairly sure they're off on their conceptualizatio

I would go with the audigy. HOnestly on board has come a long way.. but a freaking sound blaster live is still better than most on board sound these days. Creative has the drivers for the audigy for win 7 so I wouldn't downgrade to on board at this point. ht tp://support.creative.com/kb/showarticle.aspx?sid=61105

You should see an arseload of commercials about it today if you watch the game. There isn't a huge difference though.. if you dislike american pale ale then you still won't like it. Although with 6% ABV you might overlook your distaste since its as strong or almost as strong as thicker ales. (again though personally given the extra price I wish I would

nope.. still a winner. Edit: Bud light Platinum.. a bit sweet but the extra ABV makes up for it. Over all I kinda wish I had bought heiniken. Being from saint louis I really am anti Bud since Inbev bought them out and its now a european company but figured I'd give it a try.
