You'll need at least 1280MB of VRAM to run ~~the~~ [my] game

But the 'Highly Recommend' and the Steamworkshop are very nice to have. Especially if you use Hypothermia* or any other "Needs" mods. Its nice to be freezing and find a Ranger Cabin not to far from you.

Would also say that the CBBE mod is very nice to have. For some reason Beth cheaped out on the female model :\

Im playing C9 (Continent of the ninth) and Kingdoms of Amalur (just lvl 6 or so), I still have like 5 CB keys if anyone wants to try C9
The Game is very nice with real time combos and stuff, I've posted some trailers of it in the previous page.
The C9 CB ends right before Diablo 3 release, looking for to that aswell.

I finally found where my x com screenshots are stored. Its not in a place you would really think to look.

Here's my team ready to raid a landed UFO. Team deployment (Not a very good shot sadly), And a few shots of my top sniper doing what she does best, headshots.

cuchulann · « **Reply #127 on:** January 27, 2013, 03:45:35 PM »

Here's a look at the Arch Angel armor my sniper has now. She's also packing a plasma sniper rifle. The jet pack looks cool and it lets you hover high over the battle giving you eyes on lots of targets. Just make sure you take them out before they get close enough to shoot at you as you don't have any cover when flying. Looks pretty cool but I miss the blue accents of her previous armor.

It's an ethereal, the highest commander type in Xcom. not a lot of offensive power but it can mind control your people and make shields.

Playing Civ V now thanks to Mo. Considerably improved upon since Civ 4, and better than Civ 3.
It does feel as though the boredom is finally settling in, but I've been through a whole game and a few partial games so far when I typically don't have the patience to finish one.

I stopped playing at Civ 3, it just sucked so bad. Civ 2 is the best!

How could you be bored already? Did you get the expansion as well? Adds more depth with religion and espionage.

Got the game of the year addition with all of the dlc addons and the expansion as well.

It's called repetition. It bores me quickly.

But I'm still playing, I just don't know for how long.

I played the Polynesians for a night during the tut, also played an archipelago as Egypt, man they kick ass. Then I played a larger game with a huge map and continents as the Incans, and they were pretty cool, but the terrace farm wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be and Nobunaga (Japan) was being a dick. I started out with a continent all to myself with two natural wonders *both mountains* and two city states on the southern tip. (one culture one maritime) Pretty sweet set up, I thought. But that fuckhead Nobunaga kept trying to settle on my continent for 200 turns. I played an epic length game and spent 200 turns sending units to block coastlines and building cities where he wanted them to keep him off of my shit. lol. In the end I had my own continent and won a cultural victory narrowly before Egypt got a science one. They were way ahead in tech and kept hoarding the wonders, even though I still had more altogether from the early game. Now I am playing a quick paced smaller game with archipelago's again. This time using Russia, who seems to be pretty sweet so far.

I fully intend to make my next game have a lot of rainfall and be very wet to produce a lot of marshland, and then play as the dutch where I can polder everything. lol. My spell checker says polder isn't a word and neither is archipelago. Hmm... It's correction of "Nobunaga" is "Bungalow." Wow.

Mo · « **Reply #135 on:** February 10, 2013, 01:57:25 AM »

Thats why the game doesnt get boring for me. Each new game develops into this crazy story line (duh world history). Last game I played, I was trying to be as peaceful as possible, trying never to go to war against anyone. I had Spain to my east and Germany to my West. Even though we were both expanding Spain and I were able to become fast friends. But those damn Germans...backstabbed me twice! So I ended up warring with Germany for many years. I liberated Shonghai who'm he had conquered previously. Later on in the game I noticed he started attacking Shonghai again...man that pissed me off...Germans were such warmongers...So I declared war on him and didnt stop until I nuked Berlin into submission. Then won a cultural victory. So much for being peaceful the whole way. I was the Byzantines.

cuchulann · « **Reply #136 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:06:18 AM »

last time I won Civ game was Civ 3. I played the Celts. Managed to get Magnetisim first and found an unsettled continent. So to keep everyone else off it until I could put my own people on it I made a blockade of privateer ships that could attack anything without triggering war. Ended as a cultural victory.

Soul Sojourner · « **Reply #137 on:** February 10, 2013, 09:04:12 AM »

That's one thing I really miss about Civ 3, privateer's being a ship with no stated nationality. You could attack your foes without them knowing it's you. Wish they worked like that in Civ 5.

My problem is that I am meticulous and have to try extra hard to sway from my usual strategy, and when things don't go my way, it get's dull and tedious trying to sort it out differently.

The thing that is really nice about Civ 5, is the biased startup option. It doesn't leave a culture reliant on forests and jungle stuck starting in the desert.

Actually they have some cool benefits in 5. Also has one of the latest civ specific units, being the Panzer. Though still upgraded quickly, at least towards the end of the game. (usually)

The inca's sucked because their slinger replaces the archer, the very first ranged unit in the game and even on epic length it didn't last long. I fully intend to play marathon at some point though, the ages just don't last long enough, but also, epic just made *everything* take longer, which was disappointing. What I want is for everything to move just as quickly as standard, with the exception of scientific advancement. That way your units actually last more than a few turns before you have to upgrade them again, and you can actually spend some time in each era before moving on. Scientific advancements with the introduction of new buildings, units, and improvements would be far more meaningful.

Doesn't make much sense. Science victory would be neigh impossible if everything moved fast save for tech. Marathon sounds crazy...each age will be around 200 turns... yikes.

Half the time I shut them all off sept' for domination. Yeah, but it's no fun though if they just make everything take longer. You're not getting more time to do anything, you're just spending more time doing the same things.

So the fix for that problem is to make everything take longer except Production. Production should take longer but it shouldn't scale as much as everything else.

I suppose I could live without growth, but I hate waiting 10 turns for a fucking tile improvement. But yes, in theory, production would be the primary thing.

The local broadcast TV station that used to show The Simpsons twice a day, every day, stopped showing The Simpsons all together. And, even though I own the first 12 seasons, the 20th season, and the movie on DVD, I'm still lacking my usual Simpsons fix. So, I decided to dig deep into my pile of game CD's and pulled out this gem from 2003:

The Simpsons: Hit & Run

I had a bit of trouble installing it. The second CD needed to be cleaned. And to run it in Windows 7 I have to use Windows 98/ME compatibility mode and check off the boxes next to "Disable visual themes" and "Disable desktop composition".

When this game first came out I completed everything and unlocked the special Itchy and Scratchy movie. But I never got to see it because on my second play-through I couldn't complete the side mission that unlocked Cletus' truck and I got frustrated and stopped playing the game for 10 years. This morning I was able to complete what I think is the most difficult mission in the game:

Did you ever play the Kusty's Super Funhouse game for the SNES? God that was insane, there were some other Simpsons games I remember playing too.

Back in the mid 90s Throbble and I would meet our friends at a local bowling alley for some bowling and beer, then after the game four of us would go play The Simpsons arcade game (which was basically just a re-skin of Capcom's TMNT, X-Men, Captain Commando, etc. arcade engine).

Last night I downloaded Bioshock: Infinite and played a bit today. Amazing graphics and my paranoia is already turned up to 11 so I expect some really epic shit to go down. But for now, look at the humming bird!

I finished the new Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite recently, both very good.
And even though in terms of gameplay I liked Tomb Raider more, have to say Bioshock Infinite has an epic storyline.

Right now im playing Warframe, pretty fun.

I just started playing the original bioshock a little while ago. I'm loving it! The gameplay and the aesthetic are awesome.

I've also been playing Age of Empires II again since they released the HD edition. That's a nice bit of nostalgia right there. I've dipped my toes into the multiplayer a bit. It's crazy how quickly some of these people accumulate wealth and go through the ages. I always feel like I'm spending too much on research that I don't need. I almost always end up with the highest research count! I don't think I've ever won a game through military conquest though, I always win by holding relics or building a wonder and just defending.
