    Saturday AM: The Hunt (Star Wars Saga) FULL Including Alts

    Thanks for running and if I have one bit of unsolicited advice/feedback: Don't use graph paper to substitute for a battlemat or just placement on the table in a 4 hour game. Too small and too time consuming! Oh, and this could absolutely be my fault but some explanation of the system you are...

    Civ 5, just one more turn...

    It always turned into a thing where just about all the AI Civs would have their spies "beating me up" at a certain point. And that's just not fun especially if there is no way to know how to actively combat it. Yeah, that's no fun either. :rant: See, that sounds reasonable as opposed to the...

    Really fun show so far. Color me entertained and tuning in weekly. :)

    Civ 5, just one more turn...

    Couldn't agree more. The implementation was awful in Civ IV. I could see how some people could enjoy it but it was too much to pay attention to after a certain point. All in all it was just an annoyance.

    Civ 5, just one more turn...

    Totally agree. They really dropped the ball on things like this, world wonder movies and the like. Also, I really dug the "first civ to prove the earth is round" thing. Little things like that should be easy to implement. The core of a great game is there and I have every confidence that...

    Civ 5, just one more turn...

    The reviews have been overwhelming positive with some nitpicks here and there. And as I mentioned before, many of the gripes and game balancing aspects will be patched and expansions will add things that will make the game better. All this happened with Civ IV, too. Which also got high marks...

    Civ 5, just one more turn...

    Compare it to Civ IV at launch and you'll find that game had a ton of flaws, too. IV has been patched and expanded on a ton to make it more fun. I'd be shocked if Firaxis didn't do the same for Civ V.

    Boston Gameday: October 2nd!

    She wasn't creepy, she was eccentric. And hilarious. :cool: And even though Jimmy Pacelli was still stuck in the miserable family business, JC had a blast! :D It was awesome meeting you both. Come to more gamedays, please!

    Good Old Games: Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment

    Running old games in Windows 7

    The usual caveat being the PC is up to spec and running on 4 gigs of RAM, etc. ;) Is the lappy Win7 or Vista?

    Running old games in Windows 7

    The new version of Norton is just fine from what I understand. Not nearly the resource hog that it's been in the past.

    Running old games in Windows 7

    Patched it using the normal DL/install method. Otherwise nothing special. I'm pretty sure we didn't even have to click for a compatibility mode.

    Wanted: Female point of veiw

    It's likely because of all the sexy depictions of men in the Pathfinder books. Hoo baby! :p

    Running old games in Windows 7

    We've had no problem running ID on Win7. Probably best to try with another computer if something that old isn't running. How does Win7 work on that machine? Does it have 4 gigs of RAM and all the other requirements?
