Reply to Speakout Meet the Parent in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

I miss feeling that way about an MMO. I remember when I played Everquest for the first time, I have never experienced anything like it. One, I had almost never even used a computer at that point, let alone played such a massive game. It was just fun to explore. Somehow that got lost in me. I still get that way when I get a new Bethesda game, but not to the same degree.

Reply to What's Your Wheels? in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

I have a 2010 Ford Focus, fairly small economic car. I have grown to love the thing, it's a really great car. Drove it to Las Vegas and back, and got 42MPG for the trip. Only problem I have had is with the mass air flow sensor going out twice already, but I haven't had to pay for it being replaced yet.

Reply to The PS4 Thread in Everything Else Elemental Forums

Ever wish you didn't ask "why"? Anyways... I've been a long time Console player. I got my 8-bit NES when I was 7, (it was bought with drug money...no I didn't sell the drugs, I was 7, golly) I come from a poor, really poor family and never owned a PC until I was 25. I love both PCs and Consoles, and there are many games that I prefer to play on one but not the other. I also was Xbox last generation, and t

Reply to Comparing Sweden/Finland/Denmark vs. other countries in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

Why is race brought up? With the topics that are usually brought up in comparison, education, health care, criminality...whatever...why is the fact that these nations are 98% white even brought up? I also wonder about the numbers. "White" is a very cultural term, and means different things to different people. Considering that 20% of Sweden's population is foreign born, with as many a 500,000 from the Middle east or India, seems unlikely tha

Reply to Mining class 0 planets? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I would like if they had some value of some kind, or at least the POSSIBILITY of value. Not every level 0 planet should be a gold mine, but if each had the possibility, I think finding them could be fun. They could have resources, or maybe ancient technology, derelict ships, green slave space prostitutes...something.

[quote who="Arioch28" reply="54" id="3415986"] The fact that the Relias Faction is named Altar can even let us think that the Altarian of Elemental is the ancestor of the spacefaring Altarian of Galciv Universe[/quote] They are. It's no secret. Also, the Drath were once in the game too.

God-like energy creature that judges humanity to be savage until our captain gives an impassioned speech on humanity's virtues. For reference, any Star Trek episode ever. I watched all 600+ star trek episodes earlier this year, and there seemed to be some reoccurring themes...

Reply to So how can you start a Steam game without Steam ... in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Gaunathor" reply="13" id="3415132"] Take a look at this thread on the GOG forums. It's a list of all Steam-games, that can be played without running the Steam-client. However, I'm not sure, how up to date it is. Quoting Teslacrashed, reply 12Why even bother killing steam after launching a game. Steams footprint is minuscule, any machine made after 2004 isn't going to be struggling to run it. This has nothing to do with the footprint of

Reply to To Stardock: suggestions for acquiring gaming franchises in PC Gaming GalCiv3 Forums

[quote who="Kantok" reply="25" id="3414775"] Brad doesn't need to acquire other game franchises. He's too busy founding whole new game studios every time he gets bored. [/quote] Which makes me even more jealous of Brad's life. I want to have millions of dollars that I can use to found new game studios. I want to be like "Hey, I'm working on a strategy game, so lets call in some famous strategy game designers to help out, yea
