Master of Orion 3, hands-down. I spent months and months on those forums. Poured over every screenshot, AAR from beta testers, tidbit from the developers... everything. I even bought the strategy guide well in advance of the game and spent hours reading it. Then the game arrived... and it was a spreadsheet. A spreadsheet with voxels. Oh, and a bug that made Orion unconquerable, period. It was a very sad period of my life.

If you’ve been following Impulse (or Stardock for that matter) for any length of time, you know one of the things that sets us apart and makes us unique is how accessible we are, and how easy it is to get in contact with us, be it via the forums, IRC, e-mail or instant messenger. We know that a lot of our success comes f

Any time you're that far under the minimum system requirements, you can't expect a game to run well at all, even on minimum settings. I'd say save your money towards a new PC. You're going to run into more and more games you can't play on your current PC.

For third party titles especially, Impulse DOES NOT SET THE PRICES. The publisher/developer tells us what prices to set in various territories. The only time you get straight currency conversions are for titles that we have worldwide distribution rights from the publisher/developer and they are under no territorial price restrictions. THQ set the prices for their titles in various territories, we have to respect that.

Friday was my only real gaming day of the weekend (took it off for a 3-day weekend). Played through F.E.A.R 2... yeah. I liked the first one a lot more. Alma wasn't nearly as scary this time around. No lurking in the shadows watching, no sitting at the top of a ladder I'm climbing. It's like she just doesn't care enough to be scary anymore.

[quote who="Cavan1" reply="16" id="2062416"] Hey Zoomba, since I don't know if you read my thread, the WC galleries are the only place I get slow downloads, everywhere else Stardock ( subscriber resources page, Impulse, SDC etc ) and the rest of the web downloads are at normal speeds as they should be for my service. [/quote] Those are all coming off of different servers and different data centers. The download servers for WinCustomize are the hardest hit file servers

Cobra: When the build number in Impulse updates (it's at .014 and .001 for Roboform and GoodSync currently). The next update will be with the 64-bit installers. The hold-up at the moment is I have to write an installer stub to pick which version to install. stevele1615: Unfortunately you can not register your non-Impulse purchased copy with Impulse. You will need to continue to go Siber Systems directly for the updates.

Majesty 2 is being published by Paradox Interactive in 2009. Since we are working to add a ton of Paradox games to Impulse right now (seriously, I'm uploading about half a dozen for testing as I type this), I think there stands a fair chance you'll see Majesty 2 on Impulse in the future. But be sure you let Paradox know how much you want this to happen, just to be safe!

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="9" id="2037983"]Purposefully limiting. The game is not expensive by any standard. And spending resources on an extra version when you've just switched to "high gears" for the retail version isn't likely. Seriously, if you want to participate in the beta, just buy the game. That is the condition.[/quote] You hit the nail on the head. Demos take time and resources to make. Any work done on a demo is work not done on finish
