Windows 7 anecdote: I have a friend who works at Best Buy's 'Geek Squad'. To quote him exactly, "Windows 7 is the single worst thing to happen to Geek Squad. It actually works." Since Windows 7 has been release, his weekly hours have been cut by 1/3rd due to dropping demand for tech support. [e digicons];P[/e] I think that says something about the quality of Windows 7.

I've been reading Civ 5 previews and taking some notes on the new features Fraxis is adding to it. I'm going to post them, along with a few of my thoughts, to hopefully get some discussion going on the usefulness of these features with regard to Elemental. Remember, even if my ideas aren't any good, a catalyzed spark from someone else might be. This is a lo

I think ATi is going to be drinking Nvidia's milkshake this year. [e digicons]o_O[/e] Nvidia's new cards aren't much faster than ATi's 6 month old GPU's.

I was wondering how production of resources is going to work in Elemental, as it relates to land/sea tiles. What I mean by that in Civilization terms is, how are “food, shields and gold” created. I don't quite understand if the land tiles have an inherent capability to produce food, shields and gold; like in Civilization. Or if Elemental is going a different route, in which the land has no inherent value, unless it ha

I don't really like Rigma or Gildars very much. Rigma sounds odd to me, while Gildars sound like a name varient on currency that has been overused. I think the best suggestions so far have been 'Sovereigns' and 'Skaels'. Just for fun though, I'd like to throw 'Draginols' into the mix. [e digicons]:thumbsup:[/e] Also for the Sovereigns suggestion, I think the spelling should be changed to avoid confusion between currency and leader. IE: 'Soverins' refers t

Tor'in Irewrath - Dwarf Cleric The party Tor'in was adventuring with was compose of a stalwart figher, a coercive warlock, an agile ranger, and a tactical sword-mage. They were referred to as "Dragon Slayers United" or 'DSU'. On this adventure the members of DSU started off in a town and were soon tasked with a quest to recover a bauble that had been stolen by goblins. It seemed this bauble was the key to a summoning ritual that would release a gre
