Re: This is wild..... (Quote) Yeah, this one sounds a little too coincidental to be for real...

[b]Re: Do we have allies?[/b] [quote] Sure, "ally" is a little silly. But it's a term uttered with no more seriousness than when CPers say order or creed . :D [/quote] As a member of the Clan Plaid Archers brigade, I have to point out th…

Re: Cool world map thingy -- mark your spot! (Quote) Hmm... It actually seems to have moved my mark north from where it was when I posted. It was definitely in Lake Michigan when I put it there.

Re: Cool world map thingy -- mark your spot! (Quote) I agree. According to the map, I'm sitting somewhere in Lake Michigan. Also, you can't update your entry later, which is kind of a bummer, since I might want to change something.

Is that 10 begamytes? 8-) [nt]

Re: Thank you all.... (Quote) Don't they have libraries in N'Awlins? You should ask around, and if nobody can point to a library, ask them if there are any lie-berries in the area. 8-)

[b]Re: Thank you all....[/b] [quote] There be several other Powers books too... I think _The Anubis Gates_ is my favorite one of his. More up-front outlandish than his later books. I like pretty much everything Powers has written though, with the p…

[b]Re: A new suggestion...[/b] [quote] Is this from the author of _Warpath_? If so, and if you read that one too, how do the books compare? [/quote] Not familiar with Warpath, but the guy has a couple of other books out. The bad news about Metapl…

[b]A new suggestion...[/b] I'm about 3/4 done with Metaplanetary by Tony Daniel. It's a sweeping novel of civil war in the solar system set in the far future, and it's loaded with fascinating (and smart) concepts too numerous to list, with a large …

Re: "Game of Thrones" as Myth inspiration? (Quote) Nah. A war ended, a king was on the throne. That wraps the big things up. 8-) (Quote) I don't think he'll jump too far forward, but I also don't think he's starting Book 4 the day after th…

Re: "Game of Thrones" as Myth inspiration? (Quote) Martin did. He's finished with one and is about to start another one. As I understand it, there will be a considerable time gap between the end of the first trilogy and the beginning of th…

[b]Re: "Game of Thrones" as Myth inspiration?[/b] [quote] I was reading A Game of Thrones recently, and didn't think much about the "fighting off the animated corpses of your fallen comrades" angle since it wasn't that big a par…

Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room! Seriously, though... the site looks fine to me and the links on the boards are adequately distinguished on my screens at home (Mac IE5) and work (Win98 IE5). Is it possible that someone ma…

Re: Hmm? (Quote) Whatever... my point was made. 8-)

FWIW... (Quote) I have mild-to-moderate red-green color blindness (or, for those of you in Canada, Red Greene colour blindness ;-) and I am seeing the read links in a different (lighter) shade than the unread links.

Dat's good enough for me! [nt]

Re: XBL gamertags... golux13 see you on Halo2

Re: SW: Battlefront (Quote) Now that my modem has been replaced and I can stay connected to XBL games, I may go re-rent it and try again. Every game I tried to play in was so laggy it wasn't worth it.

Carch, You're a godgame kinda guy. Railroad Tycoon 3 is coming to Mac, and I'm thinking about picking it up. Have you played it? If so, is it worthwhile? Thanks, mang.

Y'know, that * doesn't really hide what you're saying [nt] [nt]

Re: Xbox Live! (Quote) My recommendations: For offline enjoyment, I don't think anything beats Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. A replayable platformer with gorgeous graphics, enjoyable puzzles, an interesting story, challenging combat, and cool…

Re: FYI I rented the Xbox version and played it for a while. Ultimately gave it back unfinished, but I plan to rent it again some day, if I don't break down and buy it. Nice story line(s), nice game mechanics, my only gripe is that for all the hoop…

Does anybody know whether the Mac version of AoM can play with the PC version over the Internet?

Re: Another company not to buy games from (Quote) Sierra is already on my list of "don't bother" game companies, largely due to the fact that they decided long ago not to support the Mac market, which apparently includes not bothering to f…

Re: Now why didn't you say something before now? Well, hell, Carch... come play MM3 with us. Check us most any night (though more frequently Mon/Wed/Fri for some reason), starting around 7pm Pacific/9 Central. Blobs of Glup

Re: The agony of the late adopter You also need (yes NEED) to get MidtownMadness 3, which I have been playing on XBox Live with a bunch of Geezers. (Free, you should come play too!) It's a blast -- detailed maps of Paris and D.C., fun games and inf…

Re: More encouragement required :) (Quote) Hey, if you can't make jokes about a friend's (or your own) nearly-fatal accident, what can you make jokes about? (Just remember the formula: tragedy + time = comedy) Blobs of Glup

Re: Moo3 tonight? Sorry, man, I didn't get on until after 10:00. if you can give me a few days' advance notice, I can try to make it another time. (Today would haave been tough anyway -- Father's Day, so I had to call my dad this evening, plus the …

Re: 5 minute turns... (Quote) That might work. I might also like to try a cooperative game against the AI, which is now capable of kicking some ass. And if anybody has a good pointer to a resource for beginning strategies (e.g., good devplans, ship…

Re: Possible Yes (Quote) I would be willing to give it a shot in a small game (3-4 humans, a like or slightly larger number of AI?), with strict limits on any one game session -- preferably not more than 2 hours, say 9:30-11:30 pm, *maybe* 9:30-12:0…
