I've been using this and CPU-Z for years.. highly recommend both for monitoring your system.

Just to clarify for a few people. The beta will not be available via impulse. It will only be available through the stardock store. However users who preordered from impulse will have access to it.. they just have to log on to to the stardock store using their account info they used on impulse.

Meh.. many of us had the opinion when Looking at E:woms Multiplayer that they should either do it right or not do it at all. They decided on the latter.. which is fine since choosing to do half arsed multiplayer only leads to A resources being wasted that could be used to improve the single player experience and B a crappy multiplayer experience. Would anyone here be happy with the half arsed multiplayer mode thats in E:wom to be included in FE? I wouldn't.. and I w

That date in december is the last version update. Check your order history not the downloads page for your order date. You're probably in the same boat as me as in next week you'll get access. (Impulse was the stardock store at the time)

NO YES NO* *Lets be clear here.. are we talking a separate 64 bit .exe or the whole game requiring a 64bit OS? If it requires a 64 bit OS then I wouldn't buy it since I couldn't play it, and no game is worth the extra 200$ OS upgrade cost. If i were running a 64 bit system then it might pique my interest more to see how the game actually makes use of the extra resources but I wouldn't b

I just reserve my posts usually because they tend to be long winded and give the impression of me poking Frogboy with a stick.( So if i do it to often he's liable to banish me)

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="63" id="3050076"] Quoting FutileEmotion, reply 51I agree with Sanati. People who see Fallen Enchantress are going to look at the screen shots and just see War of Magic. This is compounded by the fact that most people have not played War of Magic (even if they purchased it), and it has been too long since its release for them to remember anything specific in the images besides the general art style. I'd go with Elemental 2: Fallen Enchantress. O

A culmination of everything you learned from E:WOM. Almost everything In fallen Enchantress is a result of understanding What worked and what didn't. [e digicons]:D[/e] Since everyone else is pitching titles. Fallen Enchantress: The result of what we learned when making Elemental : War of magic. (greatest subtitle ever, it both admits a connection and disavows it in the same line.) [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="89" id="3047721"] Quoting pacov, reply 78@Fistalis - unfortunately, all of you mmo bastards wrecked things for those that came along later. If WoW didn't originally have a similar pricing scheme in place (buy the game and then buy a subscription), the concept probably wouldn't be as easily accepted. Odds are SWTOR will have some sort of way to try it out play without buying the game sometime in the next 6 months. Anyway, it's pricey, but I'm

Incoming MMO rant... I cannot believe people will actually pay 60$ for a game AND pay 14$ a month subscription. I mean jebus people have more money than sense. Why would you pay 60$ for something you can't even use unless you pay them a monthly subscription? I like MMOs don't get me wrong, but I'll pay either a subscription fee or 60$ for the game.. not both. Seriously wtf is the deal with double dipping like that. I looked at the game cause it

[quote who="Kodiak888" reply="3" id="3045940"]For ~$750 you could build a PC that will last you ~5 years without having to be replaced. It's extremely easy to build your own, and I highly recommend it over buying a prebuilt from any company.[/quote] Agreed, but if you look the system I suggested it would cost you about the same to build. AMD FX-Series FX-6100 3.3GHz = 150$ 1TB SATA HD = 100$ 24X DL DVD+/-RW Drive = 30$ NVIDIA Gef

I don't usually do prebuilt systems.. but If i did looking at that budget I would probably go for this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227383 Edit: Now out of stock [e digicons]:D[/e] Maybe someone more accustom to buying pre built systems can locate something better for the price

Supreme Ruler Coldwar or Supreme ruler 2020 I'm a big fan of the supreme ruler series personally (not to be confused with supreme commander). Its more of a grand strategy game with RTS combat mechanics. Its not your average RTS of collect resources build units etc. Its certainly not a game for everyone.. Long play sessions and a steep learning curve and graphics no one will mistake for top of the line aren't for everyone. But in my opinion the de

Its a bad decision how? Because it doesn't line up with your personal views? How could buying another logitech product be a good decision given that every logitech product I have ever owned was shoddy. I don't get your logic that its somehow a bad decision to not buy logitech pr

[quote who="Jafo" reply="53" id="3041698"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 52Whether or not all their products are that way doesn't concern me.. since in my mind its a gamble when dealing with logitech given my past experience. I see it as neither bad decision making nor unfair given I spent a few hundred dollars on logitech products which didn't live up to basic expectations of functioning longer than a few months. Yep, that's the attitude arrived at through local experie

[quote who="Jafo" reply="49" id="3041634"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 48I'm just amazed at the suggestion that using past experiences with a company as a core part of the decision whether or not to purchase a product is somehow considered by frog to be bad. I'll leave that for Brad to explain... ...but adding my 2 cents.... there's obviously going to be a difference between 'past experiences' where they pertain to service vs. to quality/

[quote who="Jafo" reply="47" id="3041614"] Quoting Fistalis, reply 46Lets look at this this way.. you go into a restaurant, and the food is terrible and the service sucks. Are you going to revisit said restaurant? By your logic you shouldn't hold the service and food quality of day X against them because its day Y. To be more accurate it'd be like not holding the service/food quality of the steak against how it is for the fish...[/quote] I ordered the steak and th

That is what makes zealotry dangerous. When all our future games use Steamworks or are for PS3 or are console only or require a blood sample to use, you'll see people screaming in ways that have nothing to do with the game but because they "supported" us rather than buying a game because...they wanted that

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="34" id="3038019"]I think the new Stardock service would be only programs made by Stardock or published by Stardock. I think they're trying to avoid being a big DD player this time round.[/quote] Yes thats the stated plan, but I'm pretty certain they never planned on selling impulse when they were starting it.

Neither.. since the new stardock service might grow and be sold off to someone. [e digicons]:troll:[/e] I'll take my copy of FE from whichever its offered. But Any new purchases will be from gamers gate or GoG..
