I'm all for buying games, but screw Steam. I will have to look to other means..

Reply to Impluse LIES in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Quipster" reply="12" id="2494931"] . I've learned my lesson, no more Steam or Impluse or whatever the heck for me. If I can't hold the disk in my hands, then I am not buying it.[/quote] Careful with that, when Steam is involved, simply holding the disk usually isn't enough.

Reply to Have stardock abandoned Vista? in Personal Computing Sins Forums

[quote who="2of3" reply="7" id="2484091"]I don't believe that the intent of this thread was a poll of who likes Vista or Win7. It might be a good idea to actually read the OP before filling up the thread with off topic comments.[/quote] The title: Have you abandoned Vista? The OP was just a sharing of experiences. Unless you'd like everyone to answer just "yes" or "no", then explaining why they have or have not abandoned Vista would be e

I'll probably switch to 7 next time I'm up for reformatting the computer anyways. Although maybe not, don't really have any interest in buying it, doesn't come cheap.

Reply to Steam Horror Story in PC Gaming Sins Forums

ooohhh Steam bashing, my turn :) A couple weeks ago, I was playing one of the few games I have with Steam (Space Empires 5), and my computer crashed. Now, I have no idea about the specifics, but Steam apparently keeps something tempory in place in order to run, and that crash removed it. It handles normal shutdowns just fine, and the issue corrected itself the next time I got online... But for a few days, I did not have internet access, and since Steam is required to be runnin

Reply to Sins in the “50 Greatest Games of the Decade” from GameStooge in Sins News Sins Forums

This might sound good, but really, I'd be hard pressed to even find 50 games in the last decade I can say I liked.. Top 10, maybe Top 20 would be respectable, Top 50 isn't saying much.

Reply to (suggestion) Have Invulnerable Envoys not trip Mines in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Who says mines are completely autonomous and not sentient? Well, not sentient I get, but the fact that you are able to manually arm/disarm you mines, and target specific ships (if you really like to micro) shows that the mines are open to external commands. With that knowledge, there's no reason you or your imaginary generals on the field couldn't update the mines targeting parameters to adhere to a state of diplomatic immunity.

Reply to Force Unleashed 2, coming 2010 in PC Gaming Sins Forums

There was nothing special about the storyline in TFU, nor was anything else all that amazing, not even the over-hyped physics engine they never shup up about. Yet, inexplicably, it was a lot of fun. I played through it multiple times, always enjoying smashing my way through level after level (with the exception of that stupid Star Destroyer thing). It's exactly the type of experience I have my consoles for, and I will certainly pick it up. <h

Reply to [suggestion]cap ship "death imminent" abilities in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I like it. Well, I'm not so sure about actual abilities, but I do like the concept of a sort of "last stand" mode that kicks in when caps are damaged enough that their destruction almost guaranteed. Let the poor souls go out in a blaze of glory and all that.
