Interesting... in a morbidly fascinating kind of way. Did I understand it correctly, that the suspicion alone is enough to strip you of your citizenship and shove you in front of a military court?

Strange link... Edit: Now it works, in Technicolor too

What was the intent of those kids? Did they want to celebrate American values or were they just trying to to create a conflict situation deliberately? If the former, commendable, if the latter, then I foresee a great future as football (soccer) hooligans for them. Of course, I'm slightly biased since I think an individuals nationalist tendencies is inversely proportional with his intelligence.

I miss the Lynx days

You can blame the Habsburgs for that ...or the Burgundians, depending on your POV. Originally from Denmark. Lived in New Zealand for a few years and Australia the last 4 years.

I can just imagine the sign down at the grocery store... SPECIAL SALE: "Space Berries" now only $500.000,00 per pound

A couple of posts became the victim of evil censorship Lets drop the personal stuff and discuss ideology.

Spork... thats sort of like "Action RPG" or "Realtime Strategy", trying to put everything in one package

Thread pruned a bit. Sometimes people just can't give it a rest. Ah well, no rest for the wicked...

@LoF: I've no idea what you are talking about, but I took the liberty of removing the mangled url parts from the thread title.

There are non-violent options too, just sayin'

I think that ought to be the end of that particular line of dicussion (otherwise I'll have to find my pair of scissors and start trimming). Looks like people are running out of full stops. Here are some for cut and pasting "......."

Oohhh... a lurker! Welcome to the forums Cloak. Depending on how long and what sections you've been reading, you might have noticed that there seems to be less interests in crpg romances in these parts of the internet. There is an urban legend that those who like "romances" hang around on another developer board and write love letters to their favorite characters while those who think it a waste of developer resources hang around elsewhere, being all grumpy and huffy about it (yes, I'm exaggerating) The original question was fair enough I suppose, if he hadn't been following the game and lets face it, the information flow last year was a bit intermittent at best.

Don't ever mention the T*x word, you'll get burned at the stake for being a George III sympathiser

They would be long past their "Best By" date. Makes for bad omelette

Watching those protesters, you sort of get the urge to throw in a few extra tear gas grenades... eventually they will have to grow up, accept responsibility for their actions and live according to their means.

He hadn't had any food and water as far back as he can remember.

Cool. I hope you aren't a supertanker pilot, though. No worries. No oilspills are going to result from my nodding off at the keyboard, nor is anybody going to wake up with the wrong brain transplant A bit. Unfortunately, I am sort of between graphics cards and it showed. The hud was a mess, but to be fair, the game did warn me that the temporary card wasn't up to the task. Didn't figure out how to save a game though. Can it only be done at save points or did the botched up hud hide something?

A bunch of Llamasoft classics made available by their creator. Look under Softography and then 8bit/16bit/console (zero gen?) for downloads.

The original Elite game made available by one of its creators Look under Archives for emulator files and original source code (for those who wants to see how it was done)

Do you even have a day job? Where do you get the time to play all those AND patrol the boards? For me usually gaming sessions are 2-3 hours, but most days I don't play at all. And you are into Paradox games... care to share your secret for time dilation? Work days are between 10 and 18 hours and I have a lot of brief moments to check out forums at work. Then I have a few hours at home to read things that caught my attention more closely or to game, although I don't do it as regularly as I did a decade ago. I can easily spend a week not touching a game. Sometimes I sleep at night, sometimes not

James Bond is the only one of the three 'B's I know Probably as good a starting point as any. Kill a few bosses, blow up their bases and sail towards the sunset on a raft with the current Bond girl

I know/knew Red Faction, as I had it way back. The box seems to have gone missing during a relocation somewhere I tried Red Faction 2 for short while (back when it was new) and found it horrible, lacking the (admittedly artifical) sense of freedom of the first one with small, cramped levels and weird vehicle minigames. I haven't seen RF Guerilla, only heard about it. A bit more than $20 for the bundle, so if it turned out to be awful, it's no big loss. DMC4 was because I wanted to try out an action/platformer game (and give my usb xbox360 controller something to do) and it seemed like the only one of its kind that they had for sale Otherwise point and click stuff, RTS (the sword of the stars stuff) and a racing game (with destructable cars of course)

Trying to expand my horizon a bit beyond the usual crpg/strategy stuff. Did a bit more shopping, trying out game genres that are usually outside my field of vision. Got the following to try out: Crash Time 2 Devil May Cry
