[quote]Which is why Gamestop only makes money selling used video games. I don't even bother looking at the pc game section when I'm already in Walmart for other reasons, it's not worth the effort. Why the hell would I go to a specialty store with just as poor a selection or worse?[/quote] QFT. For the past two years I have bought 100% of my games online. Why? Because the local stores didn't carry them!On a sidenote, Gamestop can burn for all I care.

[quote]Look at the sheer # of connected users using the servers to download. It's a little unfair, it's like comparing some startup social networking site to MySpace/facebook...[/quote] This, imo, reflects poorly on Valve. Most of the time Steam is frustratingly slow. If he would expand Steams server capabilities I'd be as happy with Steam as I am with Impulse. Currently, I loathe Steam. Yes, Steam has a larger user base, but this is meaningless if it doesn't

Here's a mind-blowing concept; just because you can't afford it/don't want to pay for it, doesn't mean you get to steal it. /smartass enough for ya? As for an actual useful reply, I would pick Amazon's service over iTunes any day.

It's because you have a 32bit OS. 32bit OSes have a max of 4gig addressable memory. Subtract from that your graphics card ram and some other accessories, and you should be close to your 2.87 gigs. What graphics card do you have?

The reason why I flame the 360 is because it is a POS quality wise(It's gotten better, but it took them years to do it and, well, the damage has already been done to its rep). MS cheaped out on its manufacturing to beat Sony to the market. (Which was pointless, since the PS3 was delayed) More ironic is the fact the Wii is beating both of them. If MS's next console is plagued by the 360's problems, then I will write them off as a decent console maker. I'm very close to

The reasons why I don't play Sins online; 1. Games are far too short. I like long games on very big maps. 2. In order too make games playable in short amounts of time, I assume you have all speed settings to max, yes? 2a. With all speeds to max this greatly limits their effects on strategy. This also make the game rather dull. 3. I absolutely hate games that require 'correct' build orders in order to win. This ten

[quote who="DamienShade" reply="1" id="2220987"]I'd get the heck out of there and shut the damn thing down, never to start it up again. Seriously. Every other fricken' episode of TNG was about the Holosuite screwing up, threatening the lives of the crew and disabling that heap of junk of a ship. You'd think after a while they would have had the good sense to unplug it until, I don't know, maybe some bug fixes and patches were put into place? &

Star Wars Rebellion is pretty good. That is, if you can find it....... [quote who="Annatar11" reply="10" id="2212533"] Quoting Phalnax811, reply 8X3 (X4?) Terran Conflict I know is complex....I haven't played it though, but maybe look into that. Very complex. I'm spending a lot of time in it right now actually, and enjoying the hell out of it. I've got over 7 days played time (that's 170+ hours)... It's very sandbox-ish![/quot

[quote who="theubersmurf" reply="16" id="2200501"]Next time, release it when it's done. I'd rather have a delay than a disappointment. This is not bashing you, nor hate, it is frustrating, I'm sure the same is true for you. Please ignore the nagging people on the forums, just tell them it will be done when we finish and are sure we should release. I don't see a problem with giving people a ball park estimate of when it will be out. Or internal deadlines, but tripping over the deadline you ann
