Good. That means you'll spend less time playing CMBB single player and getting more familiar with the game.

Didn't you just say we're savages, and get a small amount of pleasure from torturing people?

As a matter of fact, I can't believe that.

A liquor store can't stay open past 2 o'clock (last call for bars as well) where I live. The one I worked at would close at midnight though.

And how many of those off-duty soldiers go off to war without getting into uniform? But hey, if you get pleasure out of torturing people, then I'm not going to argue.

I took a couple extra swings with the crowbar as well

You must have like 20 sound contacts at least by now. Hopefully you don't misidentify my panzers!

I don't really have a problem with "flawless" in that they are uber-good intentioned and all that jazz. But man, it seemed like midway through his life, they figured he just wasn't powerful enough!

I have mixed feelings about Superman. I'll undoubtedly see the movie, but I'm curious what the thought process was behind making someone that is pretty much invincible, and slowly making him more and more powerful as things go on. I guess his "weakspot" (aside from kryptonite) is his compassion for humanity. But it makes for a rather bland character IMO. I much prefer the other DC hero, Batman, who is a conflicted soul which makes things a bit more interesting IMO>

I thought their numbering system made decent sense. The first number is the model number, and the higher the number is (even with the model number), typically the better the card is.

I have had a fine experience with Direct2Drive. I have bought Space Rangers 2, as well as Hitman 2: Silent Assassin with it. When you download and install the game, you simply validate your copy upon running it. Apparently this "disables" older installs so you can only have one install. I'm not sure how exactly...unless you have to be connected to the internet when you load the game. Since I'm always online, it's no big deal. If you have to reinstall or whatever, just go back to the site and log in. They have it on record that you have purchased the game, and can download it again whenever you want. It'll revalidated your copy with a different key automatically, and then you can run the game.

Hahaha.

Oh boy oh boy! Too bad I wasted 9 turns being too passive.

Did you see my buggy? Surely you saw it!

Oh, here's the file. Should be a barn burner for you! Fortunately I had a fair bit of orders queued up so it wasn't a complete waste! Interesting infantry spotting though.

Something is wrong. My last two turns I have not had an order phase. EDIT: Nevermind. Seems like I missed it because I'm dumb on the previous turn. I guess I'll have to pick up the pace a bit more.

Isn't there two relatively newish CoC games out?

Haha, that's actually a pretty good one.

If I hadn't buggered up my artillery, you'd REALLY be dead. Rather than just cowering.

I was being facetious.

Odd that someone downloaded it twice before I even got there.

Didn't some Oblivion dev say that in an interview to promote their radiant ai thing??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't recall an Oblivion dev taking about it. His response was directed at a comment that I made. A long time ago, I was talking about the use of statistics to create continuous Random Variables and then use distribution functions as a method of making decisions based on information. Essentially, he replied that AI is more than "simple 'choice' strings."

Doh!

I'm being facetious. I'll use more exclamation points in the future to try to better convey my sarcasm.

I'm only a "PS3 defender extraordinaire" when it's being targetted. I've also been an "XBOX 360 defender extraordinaire" when PS3/PS2 advocates target it. Unfortunately my experiences have me dealing more with PS3 attackers than XBOX 360 attackers. Though it was the other way around this generation (I did my share of XBOX defending). As for advocacy of my "favourite system," I plan on purchasing neither the PS3 nor the XBOX 360 (or the Wiii for that matter). Neither side has my support, nor will they receive my money. I care not for either system. Just like I did not care for the PS2 nor the original XBOX. However, if I were to choose a console I 'preferred' from the current generation, it would be the XBOX. This is because, as a PC Gamer, I recognized that the existence of the XBOX could mean that games made for the XBOX could easily be made for the PC (given their similar hardware). I recognized the fact that the PC gaming market is significantly smaller than the console market, and that the advantages of having a console similar in spec to the PC could result in a benefit for myself. If you want to refer to any bias, then refer to it as anti-Epiphany bias, not PS3/XBOX 360 bias. After having him insult my intelligence by regurgitating Microsoft press releases and saying such gems like "I believe there is far more code than simple "choice" strings that create a fully dynamic and robust AI" and "There is no GPU in the PS1 or PS2," all the while ignoring posts that reference interviews such as the EA one (mentioning that the PS3, and specifically the Cell, would be useful in procedural animations such as those in Spore), as well as Tim Sweeney's comments and whatnot. He wrote them off as being in Sony's pocketbook and therefore not being valid comments at all. To top things off, he tried coming back and tooting his own horn by starting this very thread. I couldn't give two ****s about which console wins or not. I do however, follow their technical aspects a little bit because I am an aspiring game developer. I recognize that my career choice may in fact have me developing for these systems.
