I think I'm going to wait for the Game of the Year Edition or Complete Edition or whatever to play Dawnguard. I don't need the glitches and headache it sounds like it makes, and I don't really like putting my PS3 on the network, especially to download something that's as big as some whole games...

Hmm. Personally, I always liked the Forest Arcologies best in terms of appearance. They looked really serene and oddly pastoral for space age technology. Actually, the industrial arcologies looked pretty good too, but they of course generated lots of pollution. No good.

Ironically, I am in the position of staring quizzically at people whose computers are too weak for the game they want to play. Mine is too advanced to play Alpha Centauri - even with the Windows XP compatibility patch.

Civ4 does have Leonard Nimoy, though. Balances it out somewhat. I was never able to continuously play a game of this type that didn't have a plotline (like Alpha Centauri does). I was never able to suspend disbelief enough to get into the "lol rewrite simulate history LOL" stuff.

I'm a sucker for elves, no matter what setting, but of late I've been finding the Vampire Counts harder to pass up. Vampires are very extremely cool.

SimMars? Seriously? That reminds me: an update of SimEarth or SimAnt wouldn't go unappreciated.

Yes. The neocon movement arose from the religious right, and the Republicans are only now beginning to realize that in the long run the religious right is a liability. Specifically, the religious right frightens or enrages libertarians who might otherwise vote Republican.

I can play SimCity 3000 on XP. So, unfortunately, this is an "I can't help you because I can't reproduce the problem" post. :(

So can I. I didn't like SimCity 4. Hopefully number five will be better.

It's on Apolyton, mainly.

You're more perceptive than a lot of people I know. People who read the blurbs about punishment spheres, the description of Deirdre's hovertank crushing Sparta Command, that disturbing flavor text about Deirdre's mindworms and their psionic powers, that disturbing Matrix-ish flavor text for the...

At the risk of being labeled a freak, the futuristic technology was much of the appeal of Alpha Centauri, along with the unique storyline. So I say, "why not?"

I hate to disrupt your pro-Third World swaggering, but these aren't that different than any physics test of a relevant level I've ever seen. Or taken. And I'm American, by the way.

I like the French, personally. Plundering Spanish ships is really lucrative. And the French governors' daughters are most attractive. :)

I seem to recall (and I haven't gone to materials science classes for years, partly because I graduated) that silk has a frighteningly high strength proportional to its density and the usual size of the strands.

Who would fool around in a war canoe when you can impress the ladies with a Frigate?

Well, I wasn't gonna say it, but now you mention it . . . ;) Pirates are cool just in general, but Svensgaard is a dill.

Of course, if you get caught, the consequences are pretty nasty, what with nerve staples and the Hunter-Seeker Algorithm and whatnot.
