They are fairly similar in terns of looks, but at least the Drengin are willing to use diplomacy. If you got the Kra'hen mad at you before you were ready for them, there was no way to stop them. Had that happen to me a few times. I think I may have to start up another game of IG2. Go Shinari!

I haven't even had anything like that. My medical file is two pages long and both of them are totally empty. My doctor keeps telling me to go out and break something.

I love Imperium Galactica 2. I get that urge to play it every couple of months. I still haven't managed to get past 15 planets on hard, but medium is becoming a piece of cake. I've never had a problem with cursor controls, but I have had the cutscene skipping problem on my computer as well. From what I recall it had something to do with the game not liking windows XP. There was a work around to fix it I believe, but I don't recall what it was now. Such a shame because I really like the cutscene in the game. The Solarian intro with the space fight and the one where you send the fighters in to locate the crystal in the asteroid field were amazing scenes! Unfortunately the game becomes way too easy once you discover the ultimate ship configuration.

Unfortunately it is not based on the "sweet PC game."

I remember reading them all the time in elementary school. I can remember three that I liked. One was "You are a Ninja!" I remember that one ending had you kidnapped by ninjas and brainwashed into becoming a ticking time-bomb of ninja awesomeness! The second one was were you were some sort of crab alien thing that could stop time. One of the choices was to use your power to rob a bank. The third book was about this video game that you go that learned new strategies even when it was turned off. Every bad ending had you lose the game and then be unable to get farther than the first level again cause it had already learned enough to beat you to a bloody pulp.

I'll admit I laughed there...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah! That's it! ) Damn them!

Sorta Hockey related news: Kor and Alan might be pleased to know that Chris Pronger was chosen as a target for Air Farce's year end chicken cannon salute. Haven't been able to keep up with the NHL over the past week since I've been away visiting relatives, but it appears that Montreal has dropped a few games in my absence. EDIT: And when was that last time that Edmonton won a game?

Got the Gold pack for Silent Storm as a gift so I'm about to load up Sentinels and give it a run through. I totally screwed myself over in my S^2 game. My soldiers were terrible and I was starting to run up against the

No no, this is the time of the year I stop smoking too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because it's too cold outside for all those smoke breaks?

Are you sure he wasn't in the "bleed out" state? Cause if he was, you have to run over and curb stomp him. Or shoot him in the head. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You only have to curb stomp/cap him from up close if you are playing an execution match. In the other two you can shoot him from a distance and kill him that way. Anyway, I'm sure he wasn't downed, mainly because he was still shooting me. " Other than that and the fact that we were all getting our butts kicked by the one who owned the game it was pretty fun. Started to get a little jumpy after several matches. Always looking around behind me. Got chainsawed from behind just a few too many times.

I've discovered that I really dislike Gears of War. Had a 3v3 match going at a friends house yesterday. Why does the other guy not die when you empty a 30 round clip from your basic machine gun point blank into his face? Not only does he not die, but I die immediately afterward from the other guy putting holes in my feet. <_<

Ouch. Ottawa loses Fisher for 4-6 weeks. Fisher and Spezza out. Not like they could do any worse than they already are....

I was given these two transformers as a gift for Christmas. Three inch figures about half plastic, half metal. My brother got Grimlock.

I found $280 Cdn.

But Rodimus is only 9.99! How can I resist! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Do it... you know you want to buy it. $10 is so little, you won't even notice it gone. Think of all the fun that you would have with it. Wait a minute, Rodimus? Forget that garbage. Go buy something good with that $10.

I'd heard that too, however I can't seem to find any trance of it on my system after installing S^2.

Wouldn't that be a fitting end to humanity? Someone's spambot becomes self-aware and wipes us out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They wouldn't wipe us out. It would begin by hacking into bank servers and use everyone's credit card information to purchase dozens and dozens of phoney products. It would spend us into oblivion!

It's obvious what needs to be done here. Sand needs a three monitor setup to get his peripheral vision. In fact, I think everyone should have a three monitor setup and a graphics card that can power it!

What software do you use? :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um... whatever is in the box? :ph34r: I haven't opened it yet...

Currently playing Mr. Robot. Just releaseed by Moonpod a few days ago. Fun little game that involves running around avoiding evil robots, pushing blocks around to make stairways, finding hidden rooms and a little RPG battle system for the computer hacking minigame.

An other one what already out? You mean Galactic Civilizations 1?

I bought myself a new DVD drive. New LG. Now I have the capability to burn DVD's also! Hurray! )

It's cheap. It's a giant sandbox. The campaign is basically a series of semi connected skirmish maps. It has an AI that can likely beat that pants off you without cheating. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sold! Now to find a copy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Shouldn't be too hard. Even the EB near me still has at least one copy on thier 3 foot tall PC games rack. Best Buy seems to usually have at least half a dozen copies on hand. Stardock also has an expansion (Dark Avatar) coming out in February or so. thumbsup:

and noone takes you seriously, still people talk to you <_< PS: define 'nobody', I know a lot of people here who I PM with, or can discuss things openly, also its better if you get used to it to take some things i say serious <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Has anyone ever told you that you take things far to seriously?
