Pictures of your Games: Revolutions
I recall much begging on France's part for supplies from the English. Never thought I'd see that happen.

France should remember that it's so pitiful, that jerkface has to give him resources.

Titan Quest?
I don't think so. I bought a box version.

The evil Republic of Spain is spreading its influence around!

Movies You Have Seen Lately
Crank is one of those movies you don't expect quality when going into, and just expect over the top awesomeness! Or so I assume...still have to see it.

Games you'd like to see a remake of.
I think he's reinventing Railroad Tycoon with his "Railroads"

AI Accelerator
Funny you should mention that, because I read an article talking about ATi/AMD creating a high end integrated solution.

Newb Questions
There's a sticky link up top. It's not done, but apparently they are still working on it. It's just going slow because of real life.

Jedi Training
I think Bao-Dur just needs significant influence points to turn him. Nothing special at all.

I'm not sure I agree with their philosophy on heuristics.

Medieval: Total War II
A series of provinces I suspect. But that's the impression that I get.

I will agree with some of the X-COM nominations. Though for the most part I don't really need remakes.

Vampire: Bloodlines.
I laughed my ass off through all the goofy stuff on television and the radio and whatnot. For comic relief, it did wonderful as far as I'm concerned. I don't remember all the lines, but at no point did I think "OMG the political propaganda is too much!" Heck, it's not really any different than watching a standup comedian. And it most likely was the former, given that the former was "they just did it because they could."

Jedi Training
If you paid attention to the game, it specifically told you that the Exile has an innate ability to attract Force Sensitives to his group. It's why people who were against killing and all that found themselves having no problems doing it when they were around you. You influenced them, through the Force.

Cut Content vrs. Accidental Editing Errors
You're clearly on a crusade to convince people that your impressions of the game are the correct one. Why do you care if people think the game was incomplete?

Vampire: Bloodlines.
The political commentary was for comic relief. As for the sex, seems par for the course for any story involving vampires.

Starforge or Death Star
How is the technology better? You can't just say "Hey, it's 4000 years later, it has to be better." Especially given that stuff like hyperdrive has been around for 25000 years with much in way of significant changes. Besides, it doesn't matter if the ISD had hundreds more gun turrets (it seems like the Interdictor Class is more focused on laser turrets than turbolasers, though it does have some turbolasers), if it can severely outnumber the ISDs, both with fighters as well as capital ships. And Death Star comes out of Hyperspace, gets its electrical subsystems fooked up by the disruption field on the planet below, and essentially becomes a giant meteor.

Medieval: Total War II
The new world seems like a very small part of the world. It apparently only involves the Aztecs, so you probably only have access to the Mexico area. Sounds like it is just there to help your economy for the end game...assuming you haven't already won. Given I won't need to have huge armies as I can recruit them much faster now, I expect to actually go through the game significantly slower now though. My first playthrough will likely be as the ENglish.

AI Accelerator
Ah. As soon as I heard about PhysX, I figured an AI one wouldn't be too far away.
-
AI Accelerator
Hahahaha. Enjoy.

Not sure why this is "LOL" because essentially the entire Games Group at my University feels that this is the only way AI will get a fair shake in commercial games.
-
Medieval: Total War II
By the end of the game, you will have professional, "gun-toting armies" so I wouldn't worry too much about the lack of guns. I wouldn't be surprised if their expansion moves into it, given they are teasing us with the new world as well.

Guys....
Well, this dude is saying that the Sith were never a species.

Rome: Total Realism
I actually took Carthage as the Julii as well, effectively nerfing the Scipii as they wouldn't be able to do really expand. Hey, the Senate wanted me to!
