[quote who="Multianna" reply="3" id="2199217"] So from this test i can download with about 1,733 mega BYTES per second not true tho, as i can download with 2,2MB/s[/quote] Actually that makes your results fairly accurate, converting the bits into bytes gives 2.16MB/s

What's my favourite genre? Shmups! by a great distance, oh and for clarity I mean proper shmups, not FPS and the like as the last good FPS was Quake III Arena. Why? Firstly challenge, secondly challenge, and third because its one of the (Very)few forms of computer gaming left that still takes skill. What genre do I have the most games from? Strategy by an equally huge distance. Why? I have no idea, it just turned out like that, which is not to say that I don't enjoy strategy games obvio

For me it really depends on how the shows would be continued, for example, I would agree with more Space: Above and Beyond having been made at the time, just not a remake, because remakes very rarely capture the spirit of the original. Though that said I really cant think of many shows that I even feel warrant continuation, probably only Tripods and Blakes 7, but both of those needed finishing rather than continuing. As to New shows, there are 3 things that I have always felt d

[quote]Well, I watched the conclusion and found it fitting. I would not call it time Travel, but, a closed Time Loop instead. I think I will pre-order the DVD from aetv.com. This is more of a Terror film than a SciFi film, including the book. I read the book and saw the original film. If the scenario is too plausible, it is a Terror genre, which Dr. Crighton wrote.[/quote] Wait, I'm sorry, how is the scenario depicted in the 2008 version plausible exactly? If your just talking

[quote]For me, the best monster hands down is Alien. Saw it first when I was way too young and now, in my 30s, still have an occasional nightmare's where I'm on a ship being chased by one or more of them. Yikes![/quote] Ha, you mentioning nightmares reminded me of the only monster that ever gave me nightmares (inexplicably), The Blob, now thats the best (by which I obviously mean laziest) monster concept ever.

I had written another post then i discovered this [link="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTVvok4S_9E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTVvok4S_9E[/link] which actually turns out to be pretty good list, except I would add the Monster from the Id from The Forbidden Planet in, because its brilliant.

Not the first games but the ones I remember most clearly are, Faery Tale, Elite, Rogue, and EGA Trek, Oh and Xenon 2. I think I remember some of them best because of the difficulty level at the time, I dont think I Ever beat Faery Tale *goes to find a copy so he can have another go* If others have gone into console territory, I shall go into arcade territory and say Defender, awesome game, even if it did occasionally (ok fairly frequently) make you want to pummel people.

[quote]I don't listen to much other than TOOL anymore. Any album, any song, Maynard is a fucking genius.[/quote] Fun Random Fact, I once fell ASLEEP at an A Perfect Circle gig, though Tool are obviously much less boring.

[quote]Well, I liked the slow pace of it, and the teach tree was good, although it could be bigger. I'm happy for it to be set in space, or anywhere. I've heard that most 4X games are turn based, which I'm not a huge fan of. I would prefer the game to be real time.[/quote] With the combination of slow pace and a large tech tree, you are definitely into turn based 4x territory, if you haven't played a Turn-based 4X game before which is what it sounds like, then i can asure you they don't

Any recommendations would really depend on what you liked about Sins? because for example its not representative of 4X gaming, and if your listed games are the only strategy games you have played then many 4X games may seem overwhelming.

I feel my taste in music is best summed up by listing the artists in my current playlist Tracy Chapman, Tom Waits, The Doors, Space, Skunk Anansie, Simon & Garfunkel, Richard Thompson, Pink Floyd, Paul Simon, Nine Horses, Recordings of the G3 concerts, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Erasure, Bob Dylan, Death In Vegas, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Seger, Bob Marley, Blur, Blue Oyster Cult, Beastie Boys, Animals, Sting, Shed 7, Johnny Cash, Chris Rea, Ryuichi Sakamoto, John Lennon, Iggy

I don't think it would have bothered me so much if it wasn't still claiming to be The Andromeda Strain, it could have just been another trashy sci-fi mini series (of which there are many) but by claiming to be The Andromeda Strain there are certain expectations of plot and story that they just failed miserably at meeting.

No as to my understanding its not like Savage, mainly in that all the troops are computer-controlled or directly controled by you, rather than individual players.

[quote]Maybe the 512 mb ram on Vista was the reason[/quote] Almost certainly, I'm amazed Anything ran with 512 on Vista, including Vista itself

[quote]That's a bummer. I love RoL--it's the reason I'm putting off buying GCII:ToA. I wonder if the computer issues are the reason it got shafted by the gaming magazines' ratings.[/quote] No, the reasons it did poorly overall, was firstly the campaign and story were god-awful and actually a step back from the RoN campaign, the cuotl were grotesquely unbalanced, and the main one was major multiplayer issues which prevented it from 'getting off the ground' so to speak, but even then most

[quote] Wait, Terraziel, you played Disciples III and Majesty 2? Can I use your time machine when you're done with it?! [/quote] you missed dawn of war 2, and C&C red alert 3. Its what I get for not paying enough attention to the lists of sequels. Though as an aside i have to say this list has made me wonder what peoples lists are like for other genres as well, because i could probably get a list like that for most genres (except sports games, the last sport ga
