I like what I am reading. Unfortunately I have not been able to purchase the game yet. Impulse gives me a rather funny message (after the Processing... bar) that my order has been denied! Below that it puts the word "Success!". I'm guessing that the system was successful in denying my order.... I sent an email to sales. Hopefully I get resolution soon. I didn't think I was an instant gratification type person.. but I really want to play this

It's not a bad multiplayer game. I couldn't take the single player campaign for long.. the AI was rough.. I had to keep leading my group into a room just to backtrack and weld doors. If you don't have at least 3 players it's a bit underwhelming as well. I'm looking fwd: to seeing some user content.

Reply to Trying to decide what new comuter to buy in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I have built quite a few systems now and while it can be frustrating when you are just learning the return is well worth the effort. Savings is a big component but knowledge/understanding of the inner workings of your system is a close second. I would say that if you are really serious about building your own system there are many people here, myself included, that would help answer questions along the way. I'm not looking to build right now but I've been keeping tabs on components. I'll

Reply to Master of Magic now available from GOG! in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

I think nostalgia plays a large part as well. Having played MoM when it was released I really enjoy going back for a bit now. The same thing happened when I read a post here re: Warlords being available. I grabbed it and played the heck out of it for a few days. It was like meeting up with an old friend again. There are definitely some limitations to look past but all in all both games are solid for what they are.

Thanks GroWi - this actually looks like a pretty good game. $25 for two copies and beta accessx2. I'll bite.

I have been on a gaming semi-hiatus as we are in the middle of selling a house/buying a new house/moving/whatever... I don't know about SC2 - you'll have to keep us posted with your impressions pacov (and trouser). I may look at it once I get settled.

Someone recently posted a link to a Warlords site that had information about all four games as well as downloads for 1 and 2. I played quite a bit of Warlords on my old Laser 286.. great memories. Impulse has King's Bounty Gold on sale for $15 down from $45. You get both Kngs Bounty and Armored Princess. Super deal!

Can you guys add me to Tier 4? Is this the wrong thread??

Apologies for having to step away last night. My daughter was having a sleepover here and her friend came into the room crying that she wanted to go back home :( I tried to placate them for a few minutes but in the end I just had to walk her back across the street. Thanks for the game though. As I have gotten DA for every random game lately I am starting to pick him up a bit :)

Reply to DD-WRT and Tomato in Everything Else Demigod Forums

I appreciate the feedback pacov. I wonder how many people actually use third party firmware around here. I ended up going with Tomato as I really wanted just a basic/streamlined set-up... and the result is... Wow!! I cannot believe the difference in my internet. Pages load almost instantly when I click now.. I have been suffering through a noticable delay for awhile. Not an extended amount of time.. just a second or three. Actu

DD-WRT and Tomato in Everything Else Demigod Forums

Waiting for my new router to arrive and I wanted to pick some brains on these two pieces of firmware. I know that pacov has recently started using DD-WRT and I think that he is enjoying it. What does anyone else think about the two? I am not going to be doing anything funky with the router. i just need to connect my main PC, a laptop, a couple of DS's, a Wii, a PS3 and an iPod touch. I have been using a Netgear MR814 which has been fairly reliable, but I notice

Played it on the PC quite a bit and then picked it up for the iPod a few weeks ago. Fun little game.

Damn! I forgot how much I used to enjoy this game... it just sucked another 3.5 hours from my life.

Reply to Warlords II in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

Wow! Runs much quicker than it did on my old Laser 286. Even with the Turbo button engaged to kick me up from 8 MHz to 12 MHz.... The sound is not there though. If I remember correctly all the sound for this game came out of the little PC speaker which I do not have hooked up (I think). Does DosBox allow you to push that sound through your soundcard/onboard audio?

[quote]How would the fps be with a Geforce 8800 at 1600x1050?[/quote] I am running an e4300 overclocked to 3 GHz and an 8800 GTS. I have not gotten a FPS number yet but for me the game plays very smooth. At first things were a little bit stuttery and ironically the cutscenes were the worst. I went through the .ini file and disabled bloom. I also created an Nvidia profile for the game and minimized AA and AF. I am sure that the game is not AS pretty as it

I have gotten some MP BC2 in lately. I like it. Hopefully we can get a few on and get our own squad up. That will definitely increase the fun factor! Still working through the single player. One thing that I don't love is that the enemy AI can spot me from any angle as long as they have some sliver of LOS to go off of... and as soon as they have the possibility to spot me they shift focus from my squad to me. It is a bit unrealistic... although

Up and running.. although I am having some issues with Punkbusters. I went through the install along with BFBC2 yet when I try to play MP I get a message that I need to be running PB.... I guess there is an issue with MP in general so I'll wait a bit to try again. Add me if you are playing though: Mauxe

If you have not tried Machinarium I would suggest that you drop everything and get it. Right now. Not the longest game by far.. yet it has such an intriguing style as well as an amazing score... I wish I could go back and play it through again for the first time. It really was one of the only games I have ever played where I have been able to just sit back and enjoy each moment.

Is BFBC2 going strong? I was thinking about picking it up as well. Still enjoying SC SP though. I forget if you mentioned this pacov but is there a single player campaign to it as well?

I picked it up. Will probably check out the mods as I cannot say that I love the vanilla game that much. The battles are fun but I am just not drawn in to the sandbox.

As far as Bioshock 2 goes.. one aspect I don't like is how they shoe-horned the story into the original plot. Something as significant as a rogue doctor actively working to undermine Ryan seems like something we would have seen signs of in 1. I have not finished the story yet so there may be more info to help me suspend my disbelief more... yet I can think of at least two different plotlines I would have accepted much more readily: Lamb was an or

Sounds good. Your post about the processor made me think a bit about a new system. I have a little cash coming back from taxes that I was going to drop on a PS3. My son has been heavily campaigning for one and there are quite a few games I think I would enjoy.. especially some of the PSN downloads. But the allure of a new processor/video card combo is strong. I just don't think I need one yet. I have a dual core overclocked to 3GHz with and 88

I have been playing some SC1 for a few days now. Pretty happy with it as a Also picked up Mount and Blade last night off of Impule for $5. Played a couple of hours last night. Cannot say that I really love the game yet though. I'll keep playing for a bit and see if I can build some momentum but so far it has been a bit underwhelming. I also played a bit through Bioshock 2. Not loving that one as much either. It's not a bad g
