I got bored because I had the misfortune of starting in a dead-end system, with only a single wormhole path leading to powerful empires, and no access to high quality or advanced materials. Current plan is to build a massive colony ship and deadhead somewhere else.

I may have to play this game and start watching his reviews now.
Just be ready to have him hate a game that you love. It's almost as inevitable as the sunrise.

Yeah, I guess you guys are right. I blame KotOR for re-introducing swordfights to my sci-fi.

I've had it installed for 3 months now, and I can still close the pop-up. How strange.
You press the Close button, right?

Not in the corridors, no. I'm talking at the breach point, where the enemy drop-ship lets the marines out. It's a major chokepoint, and marines would probably be hesitant about cutting holes in their only method of escape.

Have you tried WinRAR? It handles zip files just fine, and if you can deal with a little pop-up asking you to please purchase the software it's totally free.

I can't help but feel that pikes (or a futuristic equivalent) would be a superior anti-boarding weapon. You have reach, and the enemy literally cannot go anywhere else but through your porcupine defense.

Part of me wants to wave this in their faces a little <_<Quote from: BBC NewsPreliminary results from the Iowa caucuses show Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney locked in a tie, with Ron Paul finishing third.
With 98% of votes counted, they are separated by 41 votes.

I'm not sure if I'm sad because the plot sounds really damn depressing, or that someone is making a 9/11 movie already.We've already had like, three 9/11 movies :|
World Trade Center
I'm pretty sure there was at least one made-for-TV movie as well, but the name(s) escape me.
Fake edit: Mostly agreed, Salmon.

« on: January 03, 2012, 10:38:40 pm »Also...Herman Cain has 26 votes (I guess there are some people in Iowa who really do live under rocks), and Buddy Roemer has 21. Who the hell is Buddy Roemer?I gotta appreciate someone who can make fun of themselves like that
Per Google, he was Governor of Louisiana (and his campaign site still refers to him as Gov. Roemer) TWENTY years ago. At least his tweets are amusing:QuoteBuddyRoemer: I almost have enough votes in Iowa to start a bowling league. #RoementumQuoteBuddyRoemer: BREAKING: Somebody who died in 1987 is beating me in Iowa. #invisibleman #LetBuddyDebate
