[quote]Both games were genial. Too bad they do not work any more. I saw only one as excellent adventure game since those two - Polda . I don't know if this Czech game was sold worldwide. Perhaps the picture can tell you more...[/quote] Oh, you can play Day of the Tentacle using the [link="http://www.scummvm.org/"]SCUMM engine[/link]. You can play all old LucasArts games with that. And Grim Fandango has a community made [link="http://www.grimfandango.net/?page=launcher"]lau

[quote]"Last decent Lucasarts games was "Secret of Monkey Island II" anyway.[/quote] I pity the fool that has not played neither Day of the Tentacle or Grim Fandango. I pity you. You have my pity. Pity is your middle name. Come to think of it, pity is a pretty funny word.

As i understand it you can reinstall it on the same computer how many times you want. But you need to call EA when you want to install it on the fourth different computer. As long as the 3 computer limit will be removed after some time I’m fine with it. I’d hate to discover I’m out of installs and try to find a phone number somewhere on the internet in five years when i decide i want another run of Mass Effect.

[quote]The British empire was never a superpower until WW2 wiped out the rest of europe and left them as the only one standing. It was just marginally more powerful than France, hence all the lengthy wars between them. Top dog yes, but not capable of walking all over everyone else, if the

[quote]The reality is almost no wars are fought for want of resources. The underlying argument implies that only resource starved nations or states (or planets) would or should be belligerents. While obviously, resource rich nations would have no need for war. Obviously, historically, that is not the case...exactly the opposite.Take for example this: In 1991 Iraq (one of the worlds top oil producing nations with one of the highest standards of living in the ME) invaded Kuwait to among other t

Then we better stop discussing unit balance at once :)

[quote]politics is not about whats 'right' its all about interests.Do you really think its alright for a muslim fundamentlist country who's leaders constantly cuses the Wast and calls to wipe another nation from the map to have nueclear capabilities? the way i see it Iran is a potential threat even if they dont use them selves nuclear/dirtyweaposn they could make them availbale to terororists .. read the god damed Qran there you wil lfind some very interesting gods instructions about how should

[quote]You're joking, right? Please tell me your not that naive. Lets start with the various Crusades, Jihads, purges, and other stupidity "in the name of God!" Then lets move on to the fact that its easier to take the infrastructure and wealth from someone else than to develop it yourself. Then lets move on to genuine political issues, and finally the fact that the resources available in the galaxy are finite -- eventually there will be "pressure for resources" again.[/quote] The Cr

[quote]Most of the technological advances have been made because the Military had a need for it. Things like computers, the Internet, nuclear power plants, solar power cells, batteries, jet aircrafts, helicopters, satellites, the Jeep, chocolate. All of those things were funded and develop at some time for and by the military.[/quote] [quote] Yep, true, but consider the fact that because of the Cold War, many of these technologies were kept classified for decades before they were re

I swear!

Fools, it's so obvious. They tried to make a Fallout sequel, turned it into a FPS, and the NMA mob found out. The massive flaming on the internet boards created a raging supertroll, now devouring the galaxy.

[quote]Anyone planning a Battletech mod?[/quote] Hmmm... My first reaction was YES! But on second thought... The modus operandi in the Battletech universe are the mechs. Even though it would be cool to have space battles between Steiner and Kurita, if you can't drop mechs on the planet much of the Battletech essence is gone. Wait... Couldnt this be done in Medieval 2:TW? Or World In Conflict? Argh! Look what you did! Now you made reinstall Mech Commander 2 again! <

[quote]... since the start of the millennium i have yet to see a game that did not require you to start from your base build an army/fleet and take over and destroy the enemy's army/fleet and base even in sins you must still do that. [/quote] Maybe you should check out Ground Control 1 and 2 and World in Conflict? No base building there. And you don't win by destroying enemy forces (even though it obviously helps), but by holding important positions on the map. [quote]oh and th

TheGreatEmperor must be truly evil! Ah, got it! He must be one of those evil Buddhists, trying to start a war between evolutionists and fundamentalists. ;)

Just wanted to bring attention to what this thread was supposed to discuss. You know, should ID be taught in science class, along with the theory of evolution? After sixteen (16) pages of ranting, and still not one (1) scientific reason to why ID should be taught in science classes, can we decide on a no?

[quote].... You don't see the offering of peace beforehand? [/quote] You mean the offering of living as slaves and serve them in forced labor? Yep. Great alternative! [quote]These were people who were practicing debauchery in Jehovah's eyes, and needed to either change and surrender, or die. That's not murder. [/quote] How is it not murder? And do you think it is right to exterminate whole cities just because they drink, doesn't practice safe sex, and refuse to be

Mac, of course! Unfortunately most games come out on the PC, i love to build my own computers and don't have any use for a laptop, so I'll stick with my PC for now. I'll just wait until the Mac evolves it's gaming potential. :)

[quote]There was no murder encouraged by the Old Testament. There was a punishment. [/quote] [B]Numbers 31:7-18 [/B] [I]They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men. All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder.

[quote]Evolution is like the "Global Warming" SCAM!There is a "consensus" on both of these, therefore, it is declared and taught as Science.Wasn't there a "consensus" back in the 1400s that the world was flat?Truth is, you cannot prove Evolution, nor can I prove Intelligent Design.Which makes more sense? I like what Ben Stein said to the "professor" in the movie... (I don't remember the exact quote) "But how did life begin?"So... if evolution is only a "theory", then why is it taught as "science

Uranium, all your argument could be used against non organic ships. Nerve poisons/Viral infection? Perfect to take out the crew on a space ship. Radiation? Same goes here, plus an atomic explosion near a space ship would inevitably destroy almost all electrical components on the ship, EMP hardened or not. Micrometeoric impacts? Same goes here. And you could attack a non organic ship successfully with computer viruses. We're not talking about Space Ponies here,

[quote]So strategy to you is more units with less "micromangement"?[/quote] Exactly. Micromanagement is tactics. Or fleet of hand (pun intended, i think).
