Yeah, it's sad. In high school, this one A-hole would say "that's Jewish" in regards to things he didn't like. Now, I'm an atheist, and I was then too, but that doesn't change the fact that he needed to be hit in the face with a rolling pin.

This all just sounds great! Thanks for working so hard on this, I really appreciate this level of support. ...could you pass along some pointers to Bethesda so I can play Fallout 3 without it crashing in 2 seconds? ;)

All very well-stated arguments. Aside from the possibility of making a deal, (I can play videogames as long as I keep my GPA at 3.5 or above) maybe just stick it out and concentrate on being a teenager until you're independent, 5 more years or so. Then you can play all the games you want, eat Capn' Crunch until you eat your own puke, date questionable women, etc... As long as your adulthood is burdened by a surplus of children and/or a life-sucking career, there will be plenty of time

I haven't played online, because historically I'm a rotten RTS player. I love RTS' though; Starcraft, Total Annhilation, Homeworld 2, Dawn of War... I love 'em. I just don't have the time to invest in becoming adequately competitive online. I also like being able to pause a long game, or save it and come back to it whenever I want. And as much as I love(and I feel I'm competitively skilled at) online team-based FPS', I'm usually the guy who's more interested in the single-player campa

Every "The Crow" movie made after the first was a slap in the face to the memory of Brandon Lee, and those responsible should have their kidneys pounded by the Samsonite gorilla. I loved all the Indy movies except 4... It was the SW Episode 1-3 equivalent for the Indy franchise: all flair and effect with no subtlety, no character, and no substance. It broke my heart to watch it. Oh, and G.W. Bush's second term... that sucked. I heard they're making a spin-off series, too.

Black hole would be boring... I want a Doom-esque rift to Hell, from which pours an unrelenting tide of Cacodemons and Hell Knights breathing terrible balefire onto the huddled, fearful masses. But, barring that, I'd be happy with the expansion of scientific knowledge, so that humanity might take another step away from the superstitious campfire-shadows of religion.

I think it is lame, but I don't think it's laziness:"I just don't FEEL like porting it over..." It's just Cost VS Sales, they stand only to gain from the numerous console sales. With the numerous fantastic games that have been available to both PC's and consoles, I don't buy the scalability excuse-I can't play Bioshock on my PC at max settings, but it's still a beautiful blast of gaming awesomeness. Beyond all that... As a tabletop roleplayer, what has

Left 4 Dead has me turgid in anticipation, and IIRC, there was an isuue of PC Gamer showing off a bunch of zombie games in the next year or two. My ideal for a zombie-survival game is this: Similar format to Grand Theft Auto(Vice City, San Andreas, 4), third person, free-roaming. Setting might shift from a city, to suburbia, to rural areas, but will be one, huge seamless world(and, as in the GTA series, certain areas may be locked until certain plot-points are satisfied. T

I'll agree that your vid card may be a bit underpowered. I also had the same problem, I game with a Razer Diamondback mouse, when I turned my (razer app.) sensitivity down to 5, then the in-game sensitivity down to 1... all was well.

In Star Wars: Rebellion, you had to keep your diplomats constantly busy keeping your worlds' allegiance nominal. Conversely, and especially for the Empire, you could garrison enough troop regiments on the world to quell any rebellion and keep the populace on your side. Both sides also had units and agents capable of inspiring revolt on an enemy planet. I'm not saying that's what Sins should have, I think Culture is fine in this game, but I always enjoyed that aspect of SW:R.

I'm not a very good RTS player. For some reason I have the skill and reflexes to blast you into chunks in Team Fortress 2, but I frequently fail at RTS. Sins gives me enough time to ponderously explore the solar system(s) and plan ahead on a slower, larger scale. I was a big fan of Star Wars:Rebellion, in which any move you made, ie: sending a fleet across the galaxy, sending agants on missions, etc... usually took a long time to come to fruition. I think the plot, graphics, and attenti

Seriously, this game has seen some great dedication to support. If you really need to complain with a gaggle of other complainers, head over to the EA boards... Those are some truly upset people. If TOOL takes a few more years between albums than I'd like, that's fine because I know they're refining and polishing something that is going to be great. Likewise if Ironclad needs extra time to refine an already great game, so be it. I can't wait for the final result. Additionally,
