  1. I guess a "Hair Squig" reference is lost on those who don't know WH40K...
  2. 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
  3. 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".
  4. Those guys are like made for these: Edit: Stupid wordfilter...
  5. Maybe you can get killed in Risen?
  6. 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...
  7. It's really one of the most orthogonal movies ever made
  8. Aar...! the sound a general makes when outsmarted by the AI WITP AE... What in the Pantheon of All Evil. Acknowledging the fact that you need to reload to avoid "Aar!" Getting close to finishing my current game of EUIII. Stupid colonies are getting restless. Time for Byzantine Interior Ministry troops to march all over those silly "Founding Fathers"
  9. There are things better left undone
  10. Cube Cube 2 Hypercube Cube Zero
  11. Slightly off topic and yet not quite... A to the awesomeness that is c64 music, based on the theme music of Comic Bakery
  12. I think I know why that particular species has become rare...
  13. 'Theme' is an ambiguous word DN You are right though, reading the beginning of the thread sort of hints heavily at it being about game music and not game genre
  14. (Dead Space Trailer) (without the trailer/interruptions)

    PoziomyPion, I think you need to piece together the events properly, following a time line. Yes, Polanski tried to avoid being charged with rape by first buying off the young girl (and her family?), then, when it looked like the judge would have none of it and proceed with a rape case, he fled the country to avoid being prosecuted. It's a bit of a leal of faith based on that to claim so steadfastly that "no rape took place" (not quoted verbatim, but it seems to be the summary of your position), since he wasn't tried in a court of law, not because he was innocent, but because he ran away rather than facing the consequences.
  16. I think there is an entire thread dedicated to Obsidians latin translation technique
  17. Hmm... I don't know what much of the later conversation in this thread has to do with ME2, but how about giving the completely unrelated stuff a break? Saves me work and I would rather spend my precious time doing other things
  18. I see Anyway, I think you were right, France wasn't really a unified country until way after the 100 year war (approx 1453). I've never played Empire TW, so I don't know what time period it covers.
  19. They Declared on me. I was kinda wanting to head north to take Berlin rather than south, but it looks like I'm gonna march for byzantium. That said, anyone know good mods that are similar to Total Realism at least map wise? I'm not exactly fantastic at medival and it's melee heavy partners, but I'm frustrated that ALL of france is one province. Try Europa Universalis instead This is Paradox Softwares interpretation of what France looks like 3/4 of the way through the 100 year war:
  20. Not even the internet is safe anymore
  21. No less so when Choice & Consequence mechanics are a major selling point.
  22. Everytime I read about those game achievements, I think "What a waste of developer resources", but maybe there is a monetary benefit for the game makers in there somewhere. Bah, who needs the latest shader version or the highest polycount anyway? As long as my little hero 'h' can differentiate between a red dragon 'D' and a blue dragon 'D'
  23. I would love to see EA sequels to/remakes of: Archon I/II (Full contact chess) Seven Cities of Gold/Heart of Africa (Exploration games) M.U.L.E. (Trading/Empire building game) Mail Order Monsters (Rather unique) Racing Destruction Set (My second most favourite racing game) Pinball Construction Set (Good fun, create your own pinball machines) Alternate Reality (A much overlooked/underrated crpg) Marble Madness (Good arcade fun, although EA probably doesn't own the rights to it) Deathlord (another forgotten crpg) AAARGH! (Monster simulator) Caveman Ugh-Lympics (Sports game that was actually fun) Mars Saga (Bards Tale in space) Neuromancer (from the time before Interplay published all of its own titles) Sentinel Worlds (another forgotten adventure/crpg) Zany Golf (believe it or not, a golf game that is fun) Realms of Impossibility (Surreal labyrinth game) Battle of the Bulge (Strategy game with some real challenges) A number of games already did get sequels like Populous and Bards Tale. Some of the above was developed by Ozark... wonder what became of them?
  24. Depends on what you expect of the game. It isn't really "horror", since it relies for 80% of the game on startle effects. The nastis (re)spawns in impossible locations and jumps at you yelling "Boo!". I didn't like that part of it. Once you've played it a while, you can predict where the nasty is going to spawn (usually somewhere slightly behind you, in the places you've already checked, trying to create an artificial feel of "frenzy" because your turn ratio is very slow). That was the most negative aspect of the game. It scores big time (in my book) when it comes to immersion and atmosphere. Apart from the wildly unrealistic "shoppe" system, it felt like you were exploring this huge abandoned ship, trying to piece together what happened while staying alive at the same time. Some nice turns and twists too. I got it on a sale for half price in EB Games, so I definitely felt I got my moneys worth. Even if I ended up buying an xbox360 controller to finish the darn thing Edit to add: The power up system and choice of weapons was quite nice too. I am considering getting a "trainer" for the game so I can play through it more casually and try out some of the other weapons that I didn't focus on.
