I love off topics to pc gaming is dying.... 1 PC game is Half of Activisions total income Call of Duty Modern what? There are still billions and billions of dollars to be made on the PC, like an above poster said, the last few years have been 'tough' because of piracy, and because of...

Here's the deal with steam drm.....many gamers, much like myself, have atleast 1 steam game installed(i have probably 6) Counterstrike, tf2, half life, portal, etc etc. Quite a few really good steam only games already out there. Now because those games require steam to play, require an online...

I still just do not understand why people are so angry over it. Some profess that it's a resource hog, uploads all of your personal information to spammers, and that it's nothing more than a buggy piece of spam-ware. Well I've been using steam for oh 10-11 years now and have never had a single...

Here's how steam games work....say you install Steam itself on your C:, default settings. The steam folder will be inside program files, so you'll have C:\Program Files\steam\ Then inside this subdirectory you will have steamapps and another subdirectory called common (if you install the game...

Wow you can really tell the CIV community is dedicated here....and that not many of you seem to play other 'modern games' that much. I can't say I blame you, i go through my 1 or 2 months of nothing but civ 4 about every year still....but i've got some sad news for you. Civ 5 is designed for...

I've recently made it a point to try for a cultural victory on every level of difficulty on default settings, continents, and standard size and time (just finished prince) and from what i've experienced the key is to not start too early nor too late for stacking the culture in your 3 cities...

Just wanted to add i'm having the exact same problem so if anyone knows a fix please post

Is there any handy way to change the songs that are playing? I can't seem to find anything about it, but with the ability to change the ingame music directory to whatever you wish, it sure would be nice to be able to skip tracks. Thanks ahead of time.
