Reply to Inception... maybe the best movie i saw EVER. in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

I just saw this movie, and I must say that the acting was great, but the directing was horrible, and the script probably was too. There's no character development. There's no suspension of disbelief. The director/screenplay just keeps throwing shit on you with absolutely no story. I mean the only time they mentioned the dream thing was "the government did it". You don't get any deep character revelation until the very end. There's no deep intercharacter dialogue. There'

[quote who="Nesrie" reply="51" id="2707066"] You spent your entire post talking about VAC and then resorted to accusing people, maybe even me, as acting entitled on forums. VAC, especially in this case, had nothing to do with how gamers were behaving. I think it is insane that you would claim the VAC didn't make a mistake, Valve didn't make a mistake and yet 15,000 people had the legally purchased products temporarily unavailable to them, not playable as intended. To me, that suggests a

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="47" id="2707052"] VAC didn't mess up here either, there was a situation where a certain file that was on the retail disk was setting off VAC flags when it was patched. Valve quickly realized that VAC must have been triggering a file that didn't need to be and fixed the situation by unbanning everyone and giving them 2 free copies of L4D2. VAC didn't make a mistake(it did exactly what it was designed to do), VALVE didn't make a mistake. I thought t

Er, that had nothing to do with forum posting. Stay on topic, perhaps? Those were automated bans with no human input, not a decision of forum admins. The topic was actually thanking Frogboy actually.

But . . has he refunded someone their money and banned them from buying from Stardock? I'd bet on it. Was it for good cause? I'd bet on that too. Sure, but you can't say "If someone has power they'll eventually abuse it.. except Brad, who has power but won't abuse it" <br

Instead of just saying their game sucks, try giving constructive criticism next time. Your post contained nothing of value to anyone. That's why it was closed.

[quote who="G3mpi3" reply="5" id="2705976"]Ooo! one of my favorite subjects! I can't learn enough when it comes to astrobiology. 1. Is there life elsewhere in the universe? Yes. There are more stars in the (visible) universe than there are grains of sand on this planet. Not to mention that the visible universe is actually a very small part of the actual universe. So yes, there is life elsewhere, it's foolish and ignorant to say otherwise. 2.

Reply to Last day in CA in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

As much as I would like beta 5, I think that one reason we won't is that they would have to waste time to diverge the code tree and make a build for us. I think Beta for us is pretty much over, but I could be wrong.

Reply to Dell - It takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking! in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

Honestly the way I feel about PC's is that all of the manufacturers are kind of crap. If you want a good computer, learn how to put together a computer, it's fun and pretty simple these days. It's all pretty much plug and play now. It's like building your own hot rod, only much cheaper and less labor intensive. Plus you'll be able to save money, and won't have to deal with manufacturer bloat ware and crappy BIOS if you build your own thing. Only r

[quote who="GCFL" reply="109" id="2704182"]Yeah I am sure they are busy but an update would be nice. At the moment we are looking at a huge bug for the people that have it. Unfortunately it seems to be working properly for the majority of users. Based on that, I am not getting any real warm and fuzzies but then again I have yet to be able to run the game from the very beginning so I may just be bitter.

Thanks Firgof! I think I'll pick it up if you guys get it on impulse (or steam). Here's to hoping you're already working something out with Stardock since you can't answer :)

Reply to Elemental site format: Please bring back the old color scheme in Forum Issues Elemental Forums

I actually like the darker design. It's a matter of preference. A mostly dark screen with light text is a lot less straining on my eyes, especially at night, than a light page with dark text. So I like it. For those who don't like the new design, while not the same thing, you can view the page with StarDock's default theme here: https://forums.stardock.com/forum/511

Reply to [Suggestion] Make the city level choice UI better in WOM BETA Builds Elemental Forums

The information you ask for is actually there, it's just not in an intuitive place right now. Now let me explain. When you select your city their resources per turn (minus metal atm) are displayed on the lower right side of the interface at the bottom of the screen. Also when the city level up screen displays, it automatically selects the city that is leveling up. So when this happens you can see how much gildar, research, etc is being produced. Of course the interface

[quote who="Aractain" reply="92" id="2701790"]Its pretty funny how Im going to pay more for a Stardock game than a AAA (I consider this to be about money spent btw) title with millions spent on the graphics alone from most other developers. Nevermind the shipping if I wanted a box. So getting a european publisher will make the game cost the standard price in europe which is usually about £25 (dosn't competition suck eh?) thus getting you much less than normal so its all going
