Started a new game of EU III, this time as Milan. Conquered most of the italian peninsula and is just waiting for time to pass so Ancona can turn into one of my core provinces (and my bad boy rating go down to reasonable levels again) so I can form the Italian Nation. Then Italy shall rule the world! Picked up War in the Pacific again, having another go at the tutorials. I had started on that previously, but Real Life

"Mine is bigger than yours"... and people wonder why I am condescending on nationalists? Fascinating how a peace prize can create so much conflict. Let me know when we reach the point of circular references (that would be my cue)

Dig Dug was a great game... on the C64 Didn't know it existed on other platforms.

You are so gonna burn!

For those of us who like wargames, empire building, management etc. type games, "complex" might (or might not) be synonymous with "level of detail". I.e. how much do you, the player have control over vs. how much does the game streamline away from you. Not the worlds best description and it might only fit my little world, but at least I am feudal king there >_

Why do you think he started cutting off his ears?

Depends on who your intended new target audience is. Do you intend to replace the fan base with every new release? Every third release? Everytime you get a new CEO? Everytime the old fan base reminds you of what created the fan base in the first place? Is it profit maximizing or performance anxiety?

MS WERD + occasional flowcharts usually. Sometimes with a little photoshop/illustrator work over screenshots or drawings. l33t skillz of da designer! No Excel spread sheet? But you guys are like producers and have special Excel powers! Excel can be a dangerous tool in the hands of the wrong people... Wasn't there something about Icewind Dale 2 and missing Armours in the released version of the game?

I can recommend New Zealand. Not that far away either ...otherwise the Mediterranean. Sicily is interesting, as is some of the Greek islands.

There is just no room for True Heroes © in this world anymore...

I've bought a single game there. Not enough to base an opinion on The game was EUIII complete with expansions. I had bought the game without the expansions previously on a disc and the only difference was that some large, unessential intro movies with company logo etc. seems to have been cut to save bandwidth. Decent download speed, giving me the option to save the downloaded install file for backup.

Maybe try meditative techniques next time

Ice Age: The Meltdown. Surprisingly funny for a sequel. Not something you take for granted these days.

Lord of Flies would love this. A game that belongs to the people

Interesting little collection. Fun to watch the NWN2 and the older Black Isle work too. I seem to remember that there was once talk about having horses in NWN2?

The file name had "****tail sticks" in it. They do look a lot like toothpicks though. Shows how much you can trust google

I knew I had heard those words before... Just kidding. I always found the spirit of the law more important than the letter of the law. Why is it that people always want to argue the latter?

Oh, so you still have a game? Hasn't been cancelled? Too obvious Krezack... too obvious

If the developer absolutely have to wrest control away from the player, they might as well just make a short, well made cut scene if they can't explain things in-game. I am not *that* attention challenged and feel rather insulted when being presented by a big blue arrow telling me that I have to press a button pointing in a particular direction. Depending on the pace, the work that goes into any cinematics is wasted as all you pay attention to is those 4th wall breaking icons flashing on your screen.

I guess a "Hair Squig" reference is lost on those who don't know WH40K...

You find the files and copy, not cut, them to a new location. What location exactly? A new folder? HELP? Anywhere "safe". Just as an example, I have a folder on my HDD dedicated to backing up saved games, named things like K:\Saved Games\BGII\ etc. where I copy the saved games from various games (BG II in the example) from time to time. Windows crashes and burns every now and then and need reinstalling. I usually take a long time finishing games, so I back up the progress occasionally from games in progress

I was wondering about that (Yatzee reference) too I've hated them since before I even knew they had a name (QTE), not that it is that long ago, mind you. Tomb Raider Legends was the first time I hated them passionately. Somebody at Eidos must have listened to the collective wailing, because Underworld was blessedly free of them, sans a few "adrenaline moments".

Those guys are like made for these: Edit: Stupid wordfilter...

Maybe you can get killed in Risen?

I can't believe that there are anybody out there who doesn't know Llamasoft. I mean, classics like Attack and Revenge of the Mutant Camels, Matrix and Sheeps in Space Anyway, I am closing this one as it is getting a bit long. There are already more threads popping up on the subject of release dates and delays...
