  1. Yes, because a corporation has never been known to paint something in more positive image than it actually is.
  2. @Hurlshot Yes, I don't now how much it takes to make a game on a PC compared to a console. I can't imagine it being much easier on a PC though, given large varieties of hardware configurations.
  3. Sounds like I have not yet fully evolved.
  4. As you can see in my desktop, real estate is far too expensive to justify the use of a wider task bar :D
  5. Ack, the double taskbar!
  6. The biggest selling point for me is that I can bulid cool imperial navies. THough it's handicapped by typical RTS mechanics. In the end I think I'll be passing this one over. To be honest, I wanted more of a Rebellion type game, without the horrid interface.
  7. My wallet is very picky. It just means I'd hold a $13 grudge against you than a $40 grudge. EDIT: On topic My PanzerArmees have just pushed into Yugoslavia. War started on August 30, 1939, and I was able to crush Poland in 7 days thanks to some deft manouvering by Rommel, Manstein, and Guderian. This allowed for an early offensive against France, which had them capitulating in the middle of October, just as winter was starting to head in. As Franco lost the Spanish Civil War, Republican Spain still existed, and I was worried about their motives to ally with the Allies, so once winter ended, I quickly rushed in. Hausser did a large flank in the mountain side to secure Barcelona, while Manstein, Rommel, Von Kluge, and Guderian made a blitzkreig to the Spanish Capital. Once Madrid fell, armies dispersed to clean up a few remnants of Spanish divisions, as well as secured Gibralter. With access to the mediterranian secured, I fortified my Atlantic beaches, and moved some forces to prepare for the invasion of Yugoslavia and Denmark/Norway. In response of the Altmark incident, I declared war on Denmark/Norway next. Denmark was a pushover, pretty much surrendering the second I took Kolding. Norway was difficult in that it required an amphibious landing, but once Oslo fell it was just a quick drive up to Narvik to secure the country. Yugoslavia paid shortly thereafter, for not upholding its part of the Pact of Steel. During the invasion, I also allied with the Italians and have sent air forces to Lybia to help with North Africa. I'm considering invading Sweden, to create a greater Scandinavian puppet state, but I'm concerned about possible retaliations from the Soviet Union. My Eastern Front is not quite ready to have a war yet, as most of my army is still in Yugoslavia. Though I'm considering taking control of Hungary's forces, and integrating them into my Eastern Front. Not sure what I have planned yet for places like Bulgaria and Romania. Ploesti's oil fields would be nice, so perhaps an alliance with Romania to ensure that the bulk of that oil goes to me. As it is right now, I'm trading for oil primarily from Venezuela, as well as the Soviet Union (I can't wait for the looks on their faces when they see the gas powered Panzer divisions heading towards them, built with precious materials and oil from their country. Oil is not a huge concern at the moment though, as I have healthy stockpiles. But I do expect to start working at a deficit once I organize a few more Armored, Mechanized, and Motorized divisions.
  8. I can't really comment on the English language, since I speak it fluently.
  9. Yeah, the jumping while prone was interesting. I remember when the game first came out, with tons of people spamming the Grenade Launcher hopping around. What exactly was Dolphin Diving?
  10. Wasn't FF8s even longer? I remember enjoying FF8s a lot more than FF7s too.
  11. If my local store still has a copy (I know they had one not too long ago), I'll pick it up. If I hate it, it's on your shoulders
  12. I just don't think it flows very nicely, especially when compared to Spanish, French, Italian, etc. Having said that it's probably the language I would prefer to learn as a second language. The accents on pronunciation seem rather heavy, and it's not so much G
  13. No, it's G
  14. Which reminds me of that great single Skeet Surfin' I think one of my favourite parts is the "backwards" scene. Classic! The only spoof movie I have enjoyed more was Airplane!
  15. Dolphin diving? I have always "loved" the bunny hoppers in FPS games. And I have also always felt that they too, should take stamina.
  16. Or they have a major man-crush on beautiful FMV sequences.
  17. No, it's G
  18. Awww, no pictures of Atton in compromising positions?
  19. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA Val Kilmer at his finest!
  20. I prefer the queue of icons that start from the upper left, and work their way down until they hit the bottom, at which point they start just to the right of that previous column. Less work :D Though I'm not sure how, they have been slightly altered. For instance, Half-Life 2 is not first, even though I got my computer 2 days before it came out (with the sole purpose of playing Half-Life 2). There may have been some other installs first, but Pirates! and Vampire should be after them definitely, as they were purchased well after Half-Life 2. Though it is appropriate that they are beside each other...I got both for Christmas one year. I imagine I did a rearrange at one point, if perhaps the alignment got messed up or something. Games like BF2 filled voids left by uninstalled games.
  21. German has always struck me as an abraisive language. Very blunt. It's not Gunther, it's G-OOO-nther
  22. Your icon placement is still too artistic
  23. Your icon placement is too artisitic! Is that the cover art from the first Vampire game?
  24. Wooo! I win!

    My school covered that in Canada "
