Yeah, I'm basically over the entire RTS genre. I've tried to get into a few titles here and there, but it doesn't appeal to me. So the only reason I like Starcraft 2 is the cut scenes, and I can see those on youtube.

It should save every time you land on a new planet or station. Unless you disabled that option.

Exactly. Right now it sounds like that person is feeling some guilt or concern over the lack of a reaction. The best way to handle that is to keep a memory of a good time that person spent with their grandmother alive and active. Maybe share it with a friend.

I love 7, I prefer it to Vista. I believe they are very similar in terms of running software though, so if you can get it to work on Vista, it should be fine on Windows 7. But you might want to do research, I'm still using Vista until my next upgrade. I've only used 7 on a work computer.

I believe they are referring to the multiple origin stories from the original. The narrative was different for a dwarf compared to a human, at least in some parts of the game. The splitting of those resources is no longer necessary.

I don't know enough about laptop video cards, but I prefer ATI over Nvidia, so I might spend the extra 60 pieces o' eight on the ATI 5850. 4 gigs of Ram is also a solid choice for future proofing it, and that is just an extra 40. edit: I'm looking at the 17 inch version of this for myself in a year or so. I have to pay off my wife's upgraded wedding ring to keep her happy first, and then I can pick one up.

But we got some great episodes of MASH out of it.

As a fan of Alienware computers, I have to agree with Gorgon if you just want a simple internet and word processing rig. You can pick up a decent one for a few hundred bucks. But if you are looking at a gaming laptop, the M15x is top-notch. It is also worth the price. It might be a little more than the average gaming laptop, but all the reviews are good, and Alienware laptops are known for lasting longer than normal. The only drawback is that they are a bit bigger, but that is by design because the more compact, the more heat problems.

I owned the PSP for awhile, and I didn't find many of the games very engaging. The philosophy seemed to be "take PS2 games and put them on a handheld." While this might be good for some, I prefer less intensive games for a handheld. I want games that I can pick up for ten minutes and set back down easily. The DS was perfect for that, and I own one now. Lots of puzzle and casual games, and a few really good strategy and RPG titles. So I recommend the DS wholeheartedly. I also thought I'd watch movies on the PSP, but now my phone is practically as good at filling that role.

I'm pretty sure studio heads should buy into a culture of thrift. Otherwise the studio will likely fail.

I haven't said anything about your math skills. I was responding to Calax, who claimed you were being unclear and not explaining things fully. My theory is that something is being lost in translation, hence the 400 post thread that has gone nowhere.

That's funny, you yourself admitted you don't know much about math, yet feel entitled to critisize both my understanding of math and of English. See, that isn't actually a criticism. It is a simple statement, one which you decided not to refute. My math skills may be weak, but I am a confident English teacher, and your writing has flaws. It could be a number of reasons, but being an English language learner is nothing to be ashamed of. I also recall something about you being from another country and becoming a US citizen after birth, but I could easily be mistaking you for another poster.

I'm guessing there is a privacy option that Jordan Shaw did not select.

If I recall correctly, English is WoD's second language, so that could be the reason for the misunderstandings.

EVE is like a business trading MMO in space. Lots of spreadsheets and profit/loss statements.

While Activision is guilty of making plenty of bad business decisions, I think Mammary War is being a bit paranoid here.

Twilight - Well, my expectations were pretty low, being that I'm not a teenage girl. But surprisingly the back story and the actual concept was somewhat intriguing. The real problem was the two main actors were absolutely horrible, I mean super super bad. The other characters were actually decently acted, in fact I wished they spent way less time on the bad romance and more on the geeky High School kids and the school click of vamps. So it did a good job of pulling me and my wife in, but was painful in quite a few spots. It's hard to gauge, I guess.

do not want... Sorry Krook, but I saw that one coming a mile away. It was a pretty ballsy move, for sure. I imagine they will try and work some sort of contract length limits in the next collective bargaining agreement.

I can see why the Octopus was tentative. Once you ink a deal with the Russian Syndicate, if you mess up, you can bet you will end up swimming with the fishes.

Is this better? I'll play around with it, excellent suggestion. I agree the colors aren't very good. I'll try a couple different color schemes as well.

That is pretty great

That is an insane contract. I guess they are trying to get around the salary cap? I'm guessing he won't be playing from age 39-44 for half a million a season, but if I'm wrong, you folks can call me on it in 12 years.

Can't you just arrange for a tour or something and get a test drive?

I'm starting to develop an art style, I think. I plan on improving, of course, but I think it is a good start. At least my daughter was able to recognize it as a playground. Here is the most recent comic:

Oh, sorry, which one is that? If it's something silly where you misunderstand probability for the 1000th time in this thread, don't even bother waiting for a reply, though. So you don't even read what I post, you're just here to insult me, is that it? My simple question (posted right after your post) is whether you know that the probabiltiy of an event which has already happended is 1? I'm not math whiz, but that question seems completely illogical.
