bu.. bu..but we're buddies eldar..... The period after "Die" makes it that much more effective at hurting my feelings.

Don't forget the cost of Windows itself. And the first system you listed does not appear to have a PCI-Express slot. Bad move, imo.

Ok, I'm about argued out on these boards. Agreeing to disagree in 5...4....3...2..

I do like lazers. It sounds like a giant thunderdome tho. 17 ethics groups enter, 1 culture leaves.

Not really. On anything but hard the enemy is so weak that it doesn't really matter what your setup is. Your main hero units, or things like assasins, will just destroy all. You can almost beat the GBA FEs with just an assasin. Sure, you can self limit yourself, but thats a whole new arguement. Sure, to each his own, but I maintain that SS is on top of the mountain in terms of TB depth. In FE, you use the "best" (see: damage) weapon you have. THe only reason you don't is because you want to conserve your best weapons for bosses. Then there are the reverse weapons that reverse the battle system. Thats really your weapon choices. A few do better critical damage or some such, but you get very limited in those terms. That doesn't happen at all in SS. You just pick the best weapon in terms of your strategy. Silenced weapons, melee, long distance, burst, grenages, multishot pistols, etc But FE gives you things like colleseums so you can just up your exp. In AW you have to worry about things like Fuel and your commanders special powers (and their commanders powers) Both games boil down to who wanders into whos "kill zone" first. Thats the real "tactic" of it all. Even then, the enemies usually can't kill you if you do before you get a turn to retreat that guy. You go into an enemies kill zone in SS, your dead. In FE, you can pick up that guy with another unit or, more likely, you survive and just run away behind other guys. Unless, of course, you are retarded and completely send your magic guys up front. That is like sending medics up front in SS, it's just to stupid to call not doing it a "tactic".

Whatever your typing right now is wrong

Your mistaking micromanagement for tactics. You may have to do a lot more popping up and down in SS but as far as overall tactics Fire Emblem beats it hands down. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think your mistaking having options for micromanagement. Your choices, even in terms of RPG type charecter building, is far greater in SS than it is in FE. I mean, you can't even pick how your character grows in FE, except when you "evolve" him. In SS, you have a pretty decently sized skill tree. If you want to bother going into weapons.... In terms of the combat, SS doesn't have a set "system" like FE. It doesn't bottleneck you into the best "tactic" to use. If I run into a mixed squad in SS, I can win or I can lose, it all depends on what I do next and a bit o luck. FE is MUCH more forgiving. Tactics, beyond FE system, arn't really nessasary. Seriously, I can't fathom comparing the two games serious. FE, imo, isn't even as deep as it's sister game "Advanced Wars". Close, but I'd give it to AWs.

Ok, Fire Emblem just isn't deeper TB combat than SS. No freaking way. Having played alot of both, just no.

Ooooooooooooo............I see where your going with this Eldar is Jodo!

I take it your putting it together yourself? $1500 is alot to work with, imo. Me, I was thinking of picking up this computer (emachines have served me well in the past): http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...d=1124431830447 Double the ram and put in a 6800 GT in the PCI-E slot, I walk away for about $800 thoughts?

Any people that were almost wiped out by a potato famine can't really be all that "perfect".

The Irish? Sure, I'll go for that.

I'm missing the strange point

That would be great, because all mine do is itch

Nope, but you can get a hell no. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You and Jag, in my thread?!?!?! The honor of it all Is it that "horror"

I like Fire Emblem games, but SS TB combat is just a tad more complicated

Almost. It will be a complete victory once those French Canadians are booted off the North American continent. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats it? I mean sure, that would be great, but can't we chase out another group too? Like.....umm...hows about the Mongolians? I'll tell you this, I never met a Mongolian that I liked. Not once.

Sure ya, but Whedon always seemed to be the type of guy, if he is going to pimp something, you know he is trying to pimp something. He makes it clear. That "Kevin Smith" type of self-depricating promotion.

Whedon doesn't strike me like that type of guy.

I'd LOVE to see you and JE on the same team "Freindly Fire" would go to a whole new level

We are truely a sad sad bunch of gamers It'll get sticked EDIT: You guys moved on to the Special Forces Exp yet? For the chance to hunt and kill the likes of Morgan Man, Sticky Note Man, and Duct Tape Man, I might have to pick the game up. I did enjoy the original.

The cream cheese will kill you long before the Canadian Suicide Bomber Mooses will.

Yea, he's said a few times that DVD sales will clear the picture up. He has also said direct-to-dvd might be a possible way to continue the series, which seems realistic, as he is pressing to do a Spike movie direct to DVD right now.
