<t>If they do a director's cut cinema release I'll go see it again, as long as I can watch it in 3D. I was more than a little impressed by that. IIRC Cameron has 2 sequels planned, both being filmed in full 3D again.Unfortunately we won't be seeing this particular version of 3D in the home any time ...

<t>I've recently finished Origins and Awakening and agree about the lack of replay value. I can't see myself playing through it again any time soon. Maybe in 6 months or so.I'm not knocking the game, I'm very much a traditional RPG player, but it just feels a touch lacking compared to previous ...

<r>Dvalon, this would appear to be the right place to be for space sims in general. I doubt that we'll ever agree on what we'd like JGE to be let alone which side we're on (we aim to make money, you aim to eat babies <E>:)</E> ) but it does appear to be the right place for those of us with a space ...

Why does July seem so far away now

I have a few more than that in various states of repair :)I no longer have my IBM 8086 XT but I still have a 486 DX2 80 running MSDOS 6.2 for older games - I think I bought it something like 16 years ago? That was the last pre built system I ever bought ...

<t>From what I've seen/read thus far the new incarnation features single player as well as multiplayer mayhem. If it's just MP only then I'll break my habit of "play every mech game going" and ignore it - much as I adore playing with an Archer (LRM spammage FTW), Madcat/Timberwolf (PPCs are a close ...

<t>The links are still valid for drivers as they update them accordingly.AvP DX 9 vs Dx 10 vs Dx 11 is simply a matter of what we're used to vs volumetric light effects (very pretty) vs real time soft shadows (serious eye candy). It neither adds nor subtracts from the game play in any mode, it's ...

Thanks, Grimloon. I will add that my discussion with Shant was about adding performance to his existing computer on the cheap... which meant no additional hardware. In that case, Windows must be installed first, obviously.<br/>
Ah right, sorry! Wrong end of stick ...

<r>Oddly enough, I find myself being a smidge more positive about this than is usual for me.The up side is that they're even thinking about a migration rather than a termination. This would be good. I've even kept my sub going even though I haven't played much, if at all, in the last few months ...

The word genius is far too often applied based on a flawed points system - very few actually do anything with it. Technically speaking, muggins here is amongst them ...

<r>Terminus is now abandonware. I managed to find a download link here but I'm not sure if this is a combined Linux/Mac/PC version. Unfortunately the poxy server at work didn't like the like I was checking for a Mac download so I can't verify that one <E>:(</E> There is still an active site that I'm ...

<r>The word filter on SMF is great - even "Wow!" ended up as "That Blizzard game" <E>:D</E> I initially met Taymar through AoC and it wasn't WoW that was a problem, merely the attitude of players who'd spent a lot of time with it prior to joining us. "It's not the same! Wah!" was regularly greeted ...

<t>I'm still looking forwards to JGE but have to vote for Black Prophecy here. My hope is that it'll cause certain developers to get their arses in gear and do something already! That and the fact that I want to play something new already!I'd agree that there seems to have been a scarcity of decent ...

<r>Elite agan here - wireframe but that didn't prevent it being the birth of a genre. I started playing on a BBC model B, carried on using an IBM 8086XT (I had a 4.2 Mb HDD in that one!) That would be around 25 years ago now <E>:shock:</E> Multiplayer is a touch more complicated - I've always tended ...

<t>As Taymar said, I agree with GUNSMIF - if you play X3 then you'll know that a stick simply doesn't work that well with a cap ship turret. That one's definitely a mouse job. I still fly the ship with the stick though.However, where there are no turrets or similar I'll use a stick. A HOTAS setup ...

<r>Lincolnshire, East Midlands, England here. No point posting a pic, it's flat out as far as the eye can see here. I believe that there's one hill within 30 miles of my house! <E>:shock:</E> That's my physical location, the mental one is a touch variable. "Away with the fairies" seems to be a ...

<r>I have the misfortune of knowing this cynical, sarcastic goit rather too well - something to do with being in the same squad for a while I believe <E>:D</E> He does have one saving grace though - he generally says exactly what he thinks, diplomacy and tact are rarely in the building so there's no ...

<t>What he said^I'm not quite as negative but it doesn't look good that they've chosen to segregate the continents. It smacks a little of "If we do it this way they won't see us!" but that could just be my natural paranoia. The possibility of one or other continent being used as guinea pigs (sorry ...
