[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="13" id="2750249"] Quoting DethAdder, reply 10A phone home scheme in a SD game? Has Bobby Kotlick taken over operations? So much for the "You can uninstall Impulse after installation if you want" that has been touted since it's inception. There is no phone home scheme in Elemental. It will contact the servers to look for the latest patches so it can inform you about them and likewise it can contact the servers to provide the Impulse

[quote]but what is up with all those commas?[/quote] I wonder about that too. I have seen a couple of different quoted lines and paragraphs from the book and they all seemed filled with commas. Two words comma, three words comma, etc. I plan to pick up a copy, I just hope it isn't all about the commas :) .

I've had that for two years. Posts won't show for up to 10-15 minutes after posting. The recent posts list showing the last person to post being so and so, but when you enter the thread their post won't show for a while. This custom forum software has never worked as smoothly as most standard forums, but it has improved over time.

Duke is still the original one-liner spewing badass. Serious Sam tried and was good mindless fun, but still not Duke. I'd definitely checkout whatever they come up with, but am ever leery of sequels and remakes nowadays.

Closest thing I've heard to a Sims game being of interest to me, but I'd still have to give it a good test drive before any cash goes out. Even though the games theme might be better, EA's give you a few things with the game and sell you everything that should of come with it policy will still tarnish the experience.

I thought the way they did the campaign was pretty good. There was kinda three story lines. Two short ones intertwined with the main. The fact that you get to see a couple of them to some kind of conclusion softens the blow of the main left to continue I thought. And you had to wonder if *spoilerlite* Raynor was going to tag the Doc [e digicons]:grin:[/e] </spa

Try sticking them in your Install directory's custom map folder. It's under GalCiv2/Twilight/Data/CustomMaps . I've gotten them to load successfully from there.

[quote]You could at least spell well when you insult folks, you whinger.[/quote] After seeing this and hearing my friend in Australia pronounce it with a g in it I had to look it up. I had always heard it as whine growing up and through life up until recently. Turns out both whinge and whine mean the same thing. So I'm unsure if you were going after the lack of a g or the extra n with your statement. :) I am just not sure if it's a geographical thing or what though, as I had never hea

[quote](Are you getting the steam emails too? The ones that say "Use steam or the kitten gets it!"?)[/quote] More like "Use Steam or never play another overhyped, so-called AAA title again" I'm actually surprised this post made it past the mods initially. The OP just looked like an advert/spam complete with links back to steamand no actual input by the poster. After seeing Rebel's replies now, I am starting to believe he works for steam.

I was just thinking the other day how it seems so many games have to have so called "achievements" in them now. If they actually add something to the game, like an unlockable or something like the wonders fine, but the ones that are just icons on a stats screen I usually ignore. The exception being those ones that force you to think outside the box and play differently to get. They can help your overall gameplay when well thought out and designed.

[quote]Yeah, it's terrible that someone spent two minutes signing a meaningless proclamation to show support for a local company that brings in large quantities of tax revenue.[/quote] You know nothing involving the government works that efficiently ;) . Seeing as it's Civ V day, a game that hasn't come out, instead of a homage to the series I'd say somebody's advertising budget was at work anyways. So the state probably did come out ahead on this one. :)

I want a real sequel to the 1994(?) Genesis/SNES release of Shadowrun. I still give it a play through about once every couple of years. And not that garbage they released for PC a few years back with the SR name. a new P.T.O. is another I'd love to see. I still have my P.T.O. II on Saturn. Can't seem to find a copy of the PC version Seems kinda hard to find at least at a decent price. Must be kinda rare from what I can tell.
