Or no...she should be cast as the main character in the next King's Bounty series, as Princess Amelie's jealous sister. So basically take a bunch of pictures with her wearing armor and a shield, and then in the game after your Stardock friend liberates some other planet somewhere from the evil Archdemon 9 stories tall, the final boss battle is a barehanded mud wrestling fight with Princess Amelie. Brilliant, if I say so myself! Stardock should

[quote] Linux evangelists tried to woo people away from Windows for years with very similar lines about how the control Microsoft had over your computer was scary and evil and bad. Unfortunately the overwhelming majority don't care. They want something that works. Steam works. As of yet, nobody has an alternative that works better in the ways that users actually care about.[/quote] I think with Linux the game is the OS itself. I don't

Has she ever considered doing cutscenes for the Command & Conquer campaigns? I'd buy it. :)

Are you a guy? That's not a tail.

I've played every C&C campaign, and I didn't find Tiberian Sun particularly memorable. But then, I tend to remember the C&C campaigns according to how hot the chics are in the cutscenes. :)

I like campaigns, though I understand how that can be up to the individual gaming companies. I mean, naturally I do not like Dark Avatar's campaign. It had the makings of being really good, and just a little more polish would have made it really good. Stardock needed somebody with a heart for the campaign. Starcraft II's campaign was one of the best I've ever played. Utter Darkness is my favorite battle within it. I te

I have to disagree on the Intel part. Intel is hardly a competitor to Apple. There was a day they were, but...not now, and not just because of iMacs switching to x86. Intel has their own fabs, and Apple is looking to Intel to help fab their iPad chips, if they are not already. Intel is innovating in their own right, though not in the same spaces as Apple and not in ways the average consumer understands. Intel's pioneering the FINFET technology, wh

[quote] But -- in general -- writing APIs that allow the AI to easily get as much useful information so that the AI programmer can easily put together strategies is crucial.[/quote] Actually, this is the part I'm more interested in: how to go about writing an API? I'm about to take on a BIG task. To the tune of writing something like OpenGL. And I don't mean writing IN OpenGL--I mean writing OpenGL. But I've always been

I love the opening episode of the original BSG, and I especially love the orchestral theme. But once it gets into the series itself, it sinks into some common cheesy storylines of the time. You know, like 2 people are going to infiltrate the enemy installation and evade the guards, but even when they get discovered they take on everybody in the installation and win. Or one of the main characters falls in love with an extra on the cast, but they part ways at the end of the 30

I don't really understand the pie thing, but games were out in force well before the late 80's, and that includes epically long SP games. I lost a couple summers to Wizardry. The Ultima series was the same way. Eamon was out in the 70's, and the only reason that wasn't bigger was only because computers were so expensive and there weren't more people owning them.

I remember back in the 90's when thin clients were going to replace the PC. 20 years later, I tend to think they were wrong.

??? Maybe the open eligibility thing hasn't come into effect yet. ?

The cell phone insurance doesn't make any sense, anyway, because of the deductible. The deductible can wind up being half the price of the phone. It's like, why even pay premiums? Plus if you're like me and you lose your phone, you can just eat the cost yourself. The point of insurance is when an earthquake levels your $250,000 house or you need $100,000 quadruple bypass surgery. So your $200 phone fell in the drainage sewer, bleh, it's call

I can't get into SotS because of the UI. Bought the game, tried to play...I just didn't get into it.

I bought Dragon Age I from Impulse, and got the Ultimate Edition. They threw in all the DLC for free. DA:Origins was going for like $50 or $60 the first several months after it was released. I waited like 1 1/2 years, got it and all the DLC for $30. That arrangement worked out well: I got some good equipment and easy quests that made the game flow easier for free. I never had to play through the hard way and then be left craving for more, plunki

You might want to be a little more tact when posting on Stardock's own forum.

If you're going to buy AMD, get an ATI video card. Not so much for the performance, but because AMD verifies that compatibility platform a lot better because they're the same company.

I've been buying the DLC for Napoleon:Total War. It's cheap, like $3.50. It gets me just a little more replayability value out of the game. My last DLC got the game off the shelf and me playing it for like 3 more days.

[quote]I really want to like this game but I find myself a little bored and wanting more of what the game has to offer.[/quote] I'm in a similar situation, except I haven't bought the game. I'm a gamer without a game right now. Right now I'm stuck on HOMM V, playing the individual scenarios, because I've already finished all the campaigns. I'm getting hard up for entertainment here. I want to dabble with Elemental. But with e

I think the real double-standard in gaming is, males actually have to BE cute. Females don't. Some of our pickier male gamers with some real standards they hold to, they insist that the females have 2 arms and 2 legs. But some of our Halo gamers used to dismembering aliens with rocket launchers, that part is optional, too.

I realized, sometimes Facebook is all bark and no bite. I logged on as an alias, and I got an email notice. Said if I didn't verify my personal info, I wouldn't be able to log in. I didn't care. Gave them the finger, didn't verify anything. Still able to log in.

For $1.24, I assume we should pick it up.
