Yeah, I thought it was not that good towards the end, and the premise is somewhat weird, but the atmosphere and surroundings they set up are fantastic.

Genious! (w00t)

Valve.

Let's hope it is fixed in the remake then. Another good reason to do it.

What?

Suddenly, I feel the symptoms of nostalgia coming...

Salvage Corvettes are used to capture enemy ships, but they need certain time to perform the penetration and they are vulnerable to other ships during that time.

...for which you couldn't do the googling.

Hey, thanks for sharing!

JA2 experts, tell me are there any possible issues with patching Steam version of JA2? I mean should I go for it or I would be better off getting a CD somewhere?

Necroposting! There is an interesting post at Atari forums regarding Linux game market and NWN1 for Linux in particular. I thought it was quite insightful.

I don't remember as I played it 4+ years ago, but I distinctly remember that was the biggest irritating thing. Maybe I should give it another shot then.

No, I'm serious. Not that I'm supporting getting rid of it altogether, but I still think it should be changed. It was very very easy to lose the city in automatic combat, even if you have veteran units there.

I hated to defend cities in JA2 all the time as they were so easy to fall. It made me rush through the campaign, because the more I waited/were exploring, the more raid groups I was getting near the cities.

I think he means politicians who try to appeal to the audience by pretending to be deeply religious.

Pffft. 1024x768 should be 2002's resolution.

If that original part of the program that allowed for self-modification wasn't a catalyst in any way, then yes. Maybe the changes become so frequent and byzantine that an origin can't be readily be identified. But in effect, the computer would still be a wind-up toy. The problem with free will is that it can't be given. Does any computer do things because it wills, outside of reaction to circumstances already accounted for in the program? Behaviorists might argue that men are slaves to the codes in our brains or in our DNA just as computers are slaves to their programming, but it's not nearly a neat enough comparison. There are differences as well as similarities between brains and CPUs. But I make no suppositions about a creator who winds us up. I'm not going there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You limit the notion of computers. There are also neural networks, which function exactly like network of neurons in human brain. The assumption that "computers is just a wound up toy" is not correct.

I think you were looking for the word "elitism", right?

Nope, it is out of business for like 5 years, IIRC.

Hopefully that one lives. And it is Ukrainians, if you are referring to STALKER
