3rd one here in two days. <_<

Is it out yet? --> (w00t) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's supposed to come out around Sept. 20th I believe. I'm giving the first one another run through while I wait. Need to purchase that invincibility cheat so I can get true jedi status on the pod race level.

Chaotic Evil Collectors Edition?

Chaotic Stupid. "Hey look! [CHARNAME] is between me and my randomly determined target for this round. Time for a burst shot!"

I've been playing the Lego Star Wars 2 Demo. I love the opening trailer for the game where chewie rips off the lego arms of a stormtrooper. :D

So? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So not everyone can afford that. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Most people should be able to afford that. It may take a little bit of work. Mow a couple lawns during the summer or shovel a few driveways in the winter and you would have enough for a month of play time. It really doesn't take that much to raise $15/month. Even kids too young to get a real job are usually spoiled enough nowadays that they can scam $15 out of their parents every month. "

Instructions for both C&C95 and Red Alert installation in WinXP

RA1 does work, but it takes a little bit of work to get going properly. You can get it to work if you make the installer run in compatibility mode.

I thought it was only C&C1 and Red Alert 1 that didn't like XP.

Well, lets see here... My next upgrade will be the graphics card, the processor, motherboard, ram, monitor... Come to think of it, my next upgrade will probably be a new computer.

Why would anyone want to run anything older than XP SP2? Anything before that is no longer supported by MS. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because some people have games that Windows XP does not like.

Get rid of Cook? Cook left WotC a long time ago to focus on his own gaming company. Greenwood is still at WotC so I really don't know what the hell you are smoking but its not doing you any good. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From what I recall of his speech last year, Greenwood isn't doing much beyond writing the occasional book just to keep Wizards from assigning some other author to write the next Elminster book. Not sure how much of that is just exaggeration on his part though. I could ask him for you guys next time I see him (In about 6 weeks). "

It isn't still alive? I thought the Starcraft community was still pretty active through Battlenet, but maybe they use other sources. On the Blizzard side of things, they did a pretty good job of taking that Battlenet concept and turning into a massive money making machine with 5 million users paying about $15 a month. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The starcraft community will likely stay with battlenet for a long time to come, however the last time I was on, it was so overrun by 13 year olds who thought that they were the "bestest starcraft player EVAR!!!11" with their maphacks that the only way to get a decent game going is at a lan were you can ignore battlenet and beat the tar out of anyone caught cheating. "

Geez, no wonder you are never satisfied. Next you'll be asking for games that aren't swamped with bugs.

I think I need to come up with some new tactics. I managed to conquer all of the Harkonnen territory except for one area that has had a coriolis storm on it for the past three turns. I tried taking the Harkonnen stronghold but ended up in a stalemate once I ran out of spice on my side of the map. I did manage to get into a position where I could destroy anything that moved within range of my plateau, however I wasn't strong enough to cross the desert sands to beat the tar out of the rest of the filthy Harkonnen scum. <_< Maybe something with those Ixian Projector tanks would work... I still hate you so much! Not as much since I was reminded of the Fedaykin thumpers, but still...

Not if the portals are on the roof and the floor. Try to jump through and get nailed by the bullets. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> for that I'd use either prox mines or rockets <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bullets would be like stealth though. Much harder to see than rockets or mines...

I had that exact same feeling when playing through. Sure it was fun till I got about 3/4 of the way through, but after that it quickly came down and I cheated my way through the last campaign just to see the storyline play out. Once I hit the night elf campaign I started to notice all the things that I really didn't like about the game start to jump out at me. Can't speak for Calax, but I personally much prefer C&C to Warcraft and just slightly more than Starcraft.

I have a new most annoying enemy. Those damn sandworms! I can take the Harkonnens but everytime I go off to attack them with my overwhelming forces, a sand worm pops up from underneath the sand taking out half my troops. Hates them so much. Need more raid... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think you need either distractors, thumber troops or worm riders. OF course you can always sacrifice a few cheapo units by sending to the desert first, Shai-Hulud will won't attack right away, so those guys can buy you time. That game has the awesomest soundtrack ever. Fits Herbert's world like a glove. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used a cheapo sandbike to get rid of the worm that was already following my harvesters before I sent my Mongooses (Mongeese?) out to attack. I should have had a couple minutes to get them over to the other plateau, but within a minute of the first worm disappearing, Shai-Hulad himself pops straight up and swallows a dozen units including one of my harvesters.

Emperor: Battle for Dune would be my current game of choice. I hate those damn Harkonnen buzzsaws. Ruining my spice fields.

But it's still pretty damn cool though. "

I just watched part of Robin Hood (Kevin Costner version) before a huge thunderstorm came up and forced me to watch that instead. :cool:

It doesn't do anything at all even when for example using Windows Explorer to manually look at the cd? EDIT: Also, is it just DVD media that doesn't work or will CD's not work as well?

I'm thinking it's too damn hot! It felt like 120 yesterday with the humidity and it's supposed to get up to the same today. I'm thinking that I hate our furnace for dying just before the hottest part of the summer. I'm thinking that tommorow with it's temperature drop can't come fast enough.
