PC: ~60 PS2: 23 Dreamcast: 16 DS: 6 Saturn: 7 PSOne: 18 Gave away my SNES, Genesis and NES a long time ago so I can't count those. Havent really cared for XBox 360 or PS3. I think each console has maybe 1-2 games I'd actually want to play.

In anticipation for Disciples 3, I recently bought Disciples 2 Gold + Guardians of the Light and Servants of the Dark from Steam. Unfortunately, Guardians and Servants do not work in windowed mode while Rise of the Elves does. Is there any way for me to play the Guardians and Servants campaigns in Rise of the Elves? Or maybe use the Rise of the Elves exe to launch Guardians and Servants?

Kinda not too keen on L4D2. I love L4D and play it nearly daily however this is expansion material. I wouldn't mind shelling $20-$30 for this content but pushing it for full retail price is a bit too much. And Valve should know better, the L4D community didn't really kick off until they started offering the game at half-off ($25) on Steam. But, even money aside, I'm still dubious about this expansion. The music is corny, the setting is meh (special infected wearing over-alls?), the on

I've made some pretty good comebacks in the past even from teams that farmed our noob asses all the way to top gear. We realized that we couldn't out DPS them so we sold most of our gear, teched to giants, and bought reinforcement damage and armor. 6-7 mins later, GG we won.

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="14" id="2231785"] This is were things start to go downhill. Even though they're 'just minors,' taking one is also destroying an entire civilization. Doing that two times fairly quickly, which it sounds like you did, tends to make the AIs think you might warming up for total conquest, which means you need to be put in your place quickly. If by chance you are leaning towards or formally evil and the majority of the others are not, that could

Thanks for the heads up Neilo, will check those links out when I get home from work tonight. I played my first game yesterday night and I'm absolutely loving the game. Since most RTSs are combat-heavy (or combat only), I decided to try winning through influence, diplomacy and economy. Started on a small map, beginner difficulty and 5 opponents. Things were a bit rough at first as I was getting used to the game but then I started climbing up the overall power chart until I hit

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="4" id="2230312"]To be more specific, highlight the planet on the main map, then look in the box at the bottom-center of the screen. Influence is given as a number, then another number in parentheses, for example 56 (0.23) The first is the influence generated by that planet. The second is the ratio of your influence on the planet compared to the influence of the empire with the next highest influence at that location. For reference, your

If you really mean that, you need to click the little Thumbs Up button in each of their posts, type something in the resulting pop-up, and then click Give Karma.

Awesome. Thanks for the answers. Karma for the both of you.

I just bought the Galactic Civilizations 2 gold bundle from Impulse and I'm reading over the manual but have a question related to influence: When you build an embassy on a planet, does it increase all of your planet's influence or just that one planet's influence? I'm wondering because since research is global, I can make a research center heavy planet to increase teching. Is it possible to build an embassy heavy planet to increase your overall influence or will it just make th

[quote who="regabond" reply="10" id="2228249"]Blizzard takes forever for their games. I don't see D3 or SC2 coming out anytime too soon. SC2 will likely come out first though. Apparently they have rebuilt both D3 and SC2 multiple times each ending in failure. And as much as I loved D1 and D2 I'm a bit shaky on D3. The team is the WoW team that is building it and their influence is VERY heavy in the art direction which is NOT a diablo art direction. Oh and of course SC2 is ganna be a carbon co

[quote who="DemiCom" reply="24" id="2227941"]Because of the "upload problems" : Are there any plans to kick the P2P-system in future and change to a "real server system" ? Most MP games are using real servers and they haven't any problems with slow uploads... people who spent money in DG wont play 3vs3 forever, best games are 4vs4 or 5vs5 ! the problem is, that there are many networks including 2-5 computers. I can

Most companies won't give you option number 2. That said, Dawn of War 2 still has issues that haven't been fixed since release and the game is over 3 months old. This stuff happens, especially when its a big title with a custom engine. M

[quote](post removed)[/quote] You are so badass. Man, I wish I could be like you.

Good luck on your Civ4 venture. I just started playing Civ4 for the first time ever a few days ago and I'm still learning the ropes. Game's fun but much more involved than I thought. Its weird because the AI handles a lot for you yet you should know how to do everything manually so you can appreciate what you are working towards and so that you can min/max during times of war.

This game could be decent? It's already great. The new content on the way will make it even better. I can connect to games just fine too.

I typically avoid games were one side has multiple of the same demigod. Rather lame. I avoid those games after I played a 2v2 VS 2 spit-n-grasp UBs. Cheapest shit I've ever seen. Had a 3v3 were the other team kept quickly switching to all-Regulus. Managed to cancel the ready button before the game started and left afterwards. I think 1 instance of a DG per side sounds reasonable (meaning there could be 2 DGs of the same kind just across both sides). The difference betw

[quote who="Mooster" reply="8" id="2224190"]I rather see starcraft 2 be a carbon copy of the orginal but with better graphics, movements options, formations, and better AI (pathfinding, it always could be improved). As for Diablo 3 I kinda agree with you it probably basically the same. But 3 seriously, it is best that you let it die with 2 [/quote] That wouldn't be inaccurate. Blizzard said their objective for SC2 was a reimagining of the original SC, not a completely

[quote who="stryker247" reply="13" id="2223700"]no it did not got mine april 7th. the problem in the game has been the same problem since launch with a little tweaks here and there. But the bottom line is its still the same you spend 1/2 the time in the lobby. All u fanboyz just have no clue. Its great to be a fanboy buyt when there has been the same problem that is still there from launch after 7 weeks that is not a good thing. Did i say i want a r

[quote who="Desamator" reply="1" id="2223479"]You guys here about Starcraft 2 being split into 3 games? Sounds like a money making bid to me, and i would think that too, if they hadnt released WoW... Boy would i give to have 1 years earnings for that game And if they are making another *secret MMO* i think it should be in the starcraft universe.. where else? [/quote] They already said the new MMO is a brand new IP. It is neither Warcraft, Starcraft or Diablo.

[quote who="Jdub121686" reply="13" id="2220586"]I've been waiting for a diablo 3 for 9 years. With all the time blizzard has had their head up their asses for lame WoW its no wonder the good games take forever. Starcraft 2 has taken about 11 years. I still play supreme commander as a veteran from the original total annihilation when I was like in 4th or 5th grade on my 200mhz PC (which was kickass then, Lol) Supcom2 could be extremly good, although losing THQ I wo

IE8 It does poorly in ACID3 but that's irrelevant since the spec hasn't been 100% nailed down yet. It actually does ACID2 better than FF, though. I do have FF installed for sh*ts and giggles and did use it for a while but found myself having to switch to IE for some sites. Considering IE8 is actually good (not great), I see very little reason to use FF over it nowadays. I can see if I were into plugins but the only plugin I like is Firebug and IE8 comes with its own

Good job Bman, hopefully the devs will take a look at this and implement a formal patch ASAP. Cheers!

Btw, I'm looking to get a good mic for L4D. I already have a great pair of headphones so I don't want to get a mic/headset combo. Anyone got any recommendations for a good stand-alone mic?
