Hmm, we'll hold you to that

I love Steam, especially its support for more niche games such as Ragdoll Kungfu, Darwinia and Dangerous Waters.

Hehe, I woke up at 3AM to play the game that day Took almost an hour to preload the final part before the game would launch

Not out yet, but Tactica Online is one of my most anticipated games. http://www.tacticaonline.com Basically, a tactical TB game focused on PvP.

MP only. You lose.

Winner.

Gold and Silver Steam edition, yes. Everything else including Collector's, no.

Blame the industry for bad games, not the medium itself.

Man, Starcraft 2 will rock!

Man, that is HOT!

Yes..... It was Oerwinde.

Secrets of Westgate: Entertaining design and decent writing. Persuading your way through the NPCs was a bit too simple, though. Good effort. Score: 7.75. The Elven Patient: The scenario showed promise, but the writing wasn

Dude. Did you just revive a year-old thread?

Man, that is HOT. Starcraft Ghost might just turn out to be the best console game ever.

Wait, I forgot Aeris! Aeris dies! I cried for a week! Man, that was hot. I mean, deep. I cried for a week!

Okay, so just to clarify. There won't be an official session this Saturday. If everyone's on, then great. Otherwise, don't feel obligated to show up if you're busy. Just make sure you keep Xfire on when you're free.

You guys are jerks. JERKS. He was a cool dude

Oh, it's not a report or anything, just a genuine interest in this fascinating topic.

Thank you for this stimulation discussion. Personally, I think the breakup of the USSR in 1991 and the collapse of demand for Kazakhstan's traditional heavy industry products resulted in a short-term contraction of the economy, with the steepest annual decline occurring in 1994. In 1995-97, the pace of the government program of economic reform and privatization quickened, resulting in a substantial shifting of assets into the private sector. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium agreement to build a new pipeline from western Kazakhstan's Tengiz oil field to the Black Sea increases prospects for substantially larger oil exports in several years. Kazakhstan's economy again turned downward in 1998 with a 2% decline in GDP due to slumping oil prices and the August financial crisis in Russia. The recovery of international oil prices in 1999, combined with a well-timed tenge devaluation and a bumper grain harvest, pulled the economy out of recession in 2000. Astana has embarked upon an industrial policy designed to diversify the economy away from overdependence on the oil sector by developing light industry. Any thoughts?

Gabs isn't relevant. Only PST is.

Yeah, Civ4 has kind of ruined standard RTS games for me now. I've never liked base building/resource gathering/teching in RTS, since it was pretty much a matter of memorized automation and improving your click-per-second skills. Not to mention that Civ4 has much more enjoyable tactical combat now. I prefer it both strategy and tactics-wise. Civ4 (Hopefully Supreme Commander and Sins of a Solar Empire will get me back into RTS, but I don't foresee any other one out soon that might do this)

You would think so, wouldn't you?

I was just wondering what everyone thought about the economic state of Kazakhstan. Though 43% are living with under $300/yr, the Kazakh government seems to be trying its best. In fact, $13 million has been promised to Semipalatinsk, and a further $43 million has been pledged from abroad - though only $3 million so far has been realised in actual projects. I think part of the problem is that, between 1945-1991, the former Soviet exploded a total of 607 nuclear bombs in Kazakhstan near the city of Semipalatinsk. Kazakhstan is the size of France, but with widespread radioactive pollution, high levels of cancers and birth defects, grinding poverty and despair. Heck, suicide is widespread, particularly amongst young people. The good thing is that it's developing an oil industry and will, in ten years' time become important oil exporting nation and an essential strategic partner for the EU. In fact, it possesses enormous fossil fuel reserves as well as plentiful supplies of other minerals and metals. It also is a large agricultural - livestock and grain - producer. Kazakhstan's industrial sector rests on the extraction and processing of these natural resources and also on a growing machine-building sector specializing in construction equipment, tractors, agricultural machinery, and some defense items. I'd like to know your opinion.

It was, wasn't it?

THIS IS NOT ADVERTISEMENT, you jerks!
