    Graphically Simplified Version for Older Machines Idea

    I hope the devs look at this thread and even contribute to it (I know you're reading!). Because yesterday I was playing a game of Civ 5 and had an idea that there really should be no reason the game can't be played with even LOWER system specs. My computer is pretty powerful and I've never had...

    Black Terrain

    Civ V runs fine on my machine, which runs the latest Linux Mint version. But here are a couple of examples of what CivBE looks like. And I've tried a combination of graphics settings, including the lowest possible graphics settings. This is on an Intel 3rd Gen core processor... but again if...

    Koenigsegg

    From a purely scientific, technological, and perhaps artistic point of view, you have to really be in awe for what this tiny Swedish hypercar manufacturer has been able to accomplish. They make all the other big boys like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and even Porsche look like they're asleep at the...

    Are you in Highschool? No girlfriend? Here's an idea...

    Uncle Civrules is back with a quick contribution that I want to pass along from one of my mentors. :cool: I'm in my mid 20's now, but thanks to him I realized more clearly why it is that I didn't have the success I wanted to with girls back in high-school. Maybe this will help some of the...

    "Chupacabra" caught alive in Texas?

    Mayybe it's a hairless raccoon, but that's the best guess I've got. It sure as hell isn't a canine because canines dont pick up food and eat it with their front paws. Whatever it is, it's ugly and evil-looking. :shifty: If it is a diseased raccoon, maybe it says more about what's in the water...

    The Economy

    My latest hobby, if you can call it that, is devouring anything and everything as it concerns the economy. Not only that of the US, but world-wide. Over the last couple of years I've learned two important things (these are just my own silly distinctions, make your own!): There are two...

    Lenovo or Asus (or does it not matter?)

    I'm looking to upgrade to something that is portable, durable, and reliable. I know Lenovo and Asus are probably the two best makers out there, but if I'm wrong correct me. I haven't researched the two in depth. I was considering the MacBook Air also. But either way, I wanna know which you...

    Ok, I'm through with Windows - I want to Switch to Linux

    I've done some research and I want to try this thing out. I feel that Microsoft has been moving in the wrong direction for a long, long time. But I'm concerned about some conversions. I've Microsoft Office, and other files that may not work with Linux. Where should I start? Cheers.

    Obama's Long-Form Birth Certificate is found Fake by photoshop experts

    I thought this issue was dead and I was glad of it. Tired of reading on it. But the things I dig up never cease to amaze me. The photoshop community (you know - there's a community for everything on the internet) has found indisputable evidence that the birth certificate the white house...

    Iran can prove Bin Laden was dead long before US raid – Iranian minister

    http://rt.com/news/osama-dead-raid/ Technically, for people who tend to question more, this is by all means not news. Osama died in 2001. Conspiracy? Ask also Steve Pieczenik (Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations). He'll tell you the same thing - and more...

    Unfortunately it is true - 9/11

    The way I see it, truth consists of the following: Effort Dispassionate Outlook Being Open-minded Over the last few weeks I have been researching September 11th, 2001. First there was denial, then shock, then rationality. I didn't want to believe what I was seeing from different sources. The...
