Fallen Enchantress comes out today! (Master of Magic type game)

Same with me. I wasted my money on Elemental, and I thought this was like a sequel to it. If so, I would never touch this game in a million years.

Who's preordering X-COM?

My crisis moment in the current campaign (which is near the end now) was fairly early on, when I had just got medium armor and laser weapons for the team. I shot down a ship, and assaulted the crash ship with three veterans and three rookies (the rest of my "A" team was injured). I was nearing...

Hilarious replies to AMD Piledriver

It used to be in very common usage in America around the time of the Civil War. It's pretty lolworthy to read Sherman's memoirs and have him say something like "and me and the General conducted earnest intercourse throughout the whole of the evening."

Torchlight 2, My Impressions... (updated: 5/10/12 with Final Impressions)

If you want sword and shield, engineer is the ONLY class. Take all of the defensive skills you can, including the passives, in the Aegis tree (3rd tab). Pump up vitality more than anything else, because you will need survivability, as it will take you a while to kill things, and of course you...

Please compare LGA 2011 to LGA 1155

All Asus boards come with the monitoring and tweaking software. It doesn't sound like you really need all of the features of the ROG boards, so they are probably not worth the expense. Just get a P8Z77-v. For gaming, it is not worth the extra $100 to get a 3770 over a 3570. For the vid card...

It's not only our right, it is our duty as America to not vote.

I'd probably be more likely to make the case that the true America was lost in 1865. Before that, the small and limited federal government, states-rights ideals were strongly held by Jefferson, Jackson, Calhoun, and basically every Southern Democrat in the country. What Jeff Davis and the CSA...

October Surprise: Regime Change in Iran?

Iran is already a constitutional republic. Just because the leaders are anti-American doesn't make it any less of one. Recent history in that part of the world would seem to indicate a descent into anarchy, followed by the rise of Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaida based governing bodies which...

Turkey attacks Syrian Government

Yeah, good for them... Let's get rid of another middle-eastern dictator who kept at least some semblance of order and control over his country and pave the way for the creation of another sanctuary for the Muslim Brotherhood and Al-Qaida.

Anyone here faced Gum Recession before?

I just had gum replacement surgery about four months ago (a gingival graft), due to an attachment between my lower lip and the gums on my lower front teeth that pulled them down. It was strange, I had a little pain, and I lost my gums over a period of only a few weeks. The surgery itself...

Strategy to avoid upgrade-itch for GPU

A couple of years ago when I built my last computer, I decided to settle on the 470. It was near the end of the generation, and I got a good deal on it. Trouble is, I was never happy, thinking that I could have had the 480, or, a little later, the 580. Instead of trying to save money this...

Torchlight 2, My Impressions... (updated: 5/10/12 with Final Impressions)

I wish the gunbot didn't have such a long cooldown, though. And the rocket skill is a little underwhelming, but I'm hoping at Tier 1 and later it gets more impressive. Later on, you will need more elemental resistances in addition to physical resistance and health. The other thing I am...

I really need to pay attention to what I'm buying.

Think again, Shorty. They both deal with the same subject matter, both from Kalypso, and on first glance appear similar, but the gameplay for one is more like the Anno series, and the other is more like the Tropico series. I prefer Tropico to Anno, myself.

9/27/12 Steam Weekend Deal: Total War Weekend daily deal CoD MW3 Free Weekend 50% off

I does. I have all of the Total War Steam games and they all run fine in 7 64. One minor point is that Rome and Med 2 look like crap in widescreen even though the option is technically there.

Anyone else excited about CoH 2?

Doesn't seem like it would be that hard. They already have tank combat in the game, and I envision it as similar mechanics. Movement may be a bit more slow and ponderous, with more emphasis on jockeying for position. Unlike tanks where you always want to face an enemy because your front armor...

Torchlight 2, My Impressions... (updated: 5/10/12 with Final Impressions)

That's two things I learned so far today. I had missed the stash in Zephyresh, and I didn't realize the level limits for gems, although I ran into this in Act 1, when I couldn't socket a skull into a unique item I wanted to. Next question: Is there a place to buy spells, or am I stuck with...
