This really pushes back the date of my visit to India from never, to never +1!
Seriously folks, this is India you are talking about. It's easier to have a list of things you can do in India. I'm not trolling, I really feel this way.
Ahhh Penguinus Online. I played it back in the '00s, but the PvP was just not there. Worst of all people could camp your fishing spots and there was nothing you could do about it! Damn carebear MMO.
I hope they finally improved empire management. That's the thing that was most lacking in the whole series, and it only deteriorated with each succession.
For example: Rome Total War became unplayable to me once I realized I have to stage rebellions in my own cities, then conquer them in order to remain profitable.
When presented with the value of 9k+ per song, how would the judge phrase the question "Are you retarded?" in a way that's both inoffensive and not degrading to the people with diminished mental capacity? (They might take offense at being likened to lawyers)
I went briefly to a very highly ranked technical institute. All Freshmen were forced to take 1 CS class regardless of Major. Mind you these were not dumb kids, none of them liked it, and very few got anything useful out of it. Only the CS Majors enjoyed the class. It's like a gym class for a fat kid basically.
I know you Yea-sayers will come right behind my comment claiming this wouldn't be a problem if they had been taught CS in K-12. But then instead of suffering through one semester of CS, they would have had to suffer through it for 12 years!
Maybe, maybe not. Very often climber's bodies are left on Everest because it's too dangerous to retrieve them. I guess that it's no big deal if you die up there, you're not using the body anymore, so who cares what happens to it. But its gotta suck for your family.
I'd be more interested in the differences between people who have been playing for a long time (10 years) and those who have never (or rarely) pick up a game.
Those that play a lot complain of periodic pain in their wrists:)
I'm just gonna go out on the limb and say it would cost double the money. I'm not saying it wouldn't be money well spent, or otherwise it's a bad idea, I'm just saying this is the reason you will be given.
Bottom line is that games that release in this poor a state deserve to fail. It's a good lesson for other game companies. Release crap every beta tester tells you isn't ready, and pay for it.
One they apparently are unwilling to learn, again, and again, and again.
I am done with MMORPGs. At least until WoW2 or World of Starcraft or Diablo Online.
If you are looking for some MMO entertainment without the endless class imbalances, boring raids, and repetitious treadmill; if you just want to blow stuff up, then I suggest an MMORTS. One I am currently playing is Beyond Protocol. Fresh out the gate and has a few kinks to work out, but infinitely more polished than any of the garbage MMORPG I have seen in years. And it is a lot more fun too.
Mod parent up +1 nostalgia. I also had win95 on 486. It did the job, though I still ran most games in DOS mode. I was able to use win95 to compress part of my hard drive for added storage. Something I wouldn't be able to do without it.
Now that numbers of these bailout and stimulus packages hit the front page, how can we take cancellation of a project that is so small in comparison as a good step towards fiscal responsibility? It's like losing your house in poker game and going through your couch for change in order to make it alright.
I believe space exploration to be by far the most worthwhile of possible Human endeavors. I don't think we should scale back any of it. Answers to our problems will not be found down here, but rather out there.
Problem with EA going under, as I have been told, is that they are the only company that can afford to train people who are new to the industry. Since I am an avid EA-hater myself, I don't necessarily see this as a good enough reason to let them survive;)

Hey man, 10% of 0 is 0. Maybe it is working out for them :)

As a last addition, 1 TB of data was added to the archives. It contained all the news footage, replays, and parodies of the shoe-throwing incident.
but they'd mostly feel puzzled and ripped off.
So it would be like most movies you say?
I'm not quite sure what you said, but I like it!

This is exactly what I was wondering - what is the control group?
That's when you hit Ctrl+Number. Then you can use the number key to quickly select all the units in the Control group!
Did they also detail the new demographic of their user base? Cause it sure as hell won't be me.

I can't remember the last game I paid $50 for. I never paid $60 that's for sure, and I don't buy used games. So someone has to get head out of ass.
LOL On a day I don't have MOD points.

Dear AC,
Please don't conceal your identity, we wish to crown you our Emperor.

If they do it, they'll still do it with our money.

why are they trying to cure it?
