How are you seeing ping? I only see a - on the server browser. Is there another ping location?

I'd buy it if not for the DRM. I really like the Settlers games. Oh well. Maybe when it's $5. Might be a while considering the others are still $10 or so.

Fix the friend list too. Some days I have friends, some days I don't. At least we can still use Steam to chat.

News Comments > LEGO Universe Beta Codes Arriving
4. Re: LEGO Universe Beta Codes Arriving Mar 11, 2010, 09:44 Frijoles
 
I got mine as well. The playtimes, however, are the worst I've ever seen for a beta. Open 3 days a week closing around 8pm EST. Sunday is even worse, 8 am - 11 am US (EST). WTF? I can understand not supporting the game at other times since they go home, but not even having it up? What's the point of doing a beta, to see if your clock system is working?

I've been thinking about trying the 3D stuff out on the PC. Not interested in upgrading monitors though (apparently I need one with a higher refresh rate or something).

I've heard it's the former, that the Battle.Net guys are way behind schedule.

Anyone know if there's a way to view your stats offline (say in a browser)? The ea.com website bitches about my lack of a gamer tag via xbox/playstation. Not sure I was in the right place.

News Comments > PC Fable III?
10. Re: PC Fable III? Mar 5, 2010, 15:40 Frijoles
 
I enjoyed Fable 1. But fuck you, Lionhead. No Fable 2 for PC makes Fable 3 a bit pointless. If they were to port F2 to PC, it'd still be pointless since it's a year late. Maybe the job post is for another game.

Not sure what it's saying.. something like "thank you for [assuming?]... position". This is a good way to build hype for whatever it is they're planning. I also started another play through of Portal. Unfortunately it's probably a year or two away. I'll dream that it's not though. And in my dream, it will be HL3. Oh yes. Come to me, Alyx.

It's working now. Might have to delete your clientregistry.blob file and restart, though. That fixed it for me.

3. Re: New Elemental - War of Magic Beta Feb 26, 2010, 09:59 Frijoles
 
If you're waiting for the fun part, wait for Beta 3 (I think that's the one). That's where they turn on the 3D graphics and work on the fun portion of the game. Can't remember when they said that'd come out though. At least a few months.

Edit: got the beta name wrong

Didn't they used to charge for it or limit the number of hours you could watch? Don't know if I can see them going back to that now that they've opened it up. I have my media center hooked up to Netflix but I don't use it much. I just wait for the DVDs.

'criticised computer games containing highly sexual content, such as Miss Bimbo, in which girls compete to accumulate boob jobs in order to marry a billionaire'.

What game is that??

No thanks. Want more base building. I should probably finish DoW2. Couldn't get in to it though.

The Youtube videos of this look like regular Mount & Blade. Is anyone in the beta that can comment on the differences? It looks like you defend a keep from the walls, so there's some gameplay changes. Graphics, however, look the same to me (maybe a step back if you're using mods in the first one).

News Comments > ImpulseTV Launched
6. Re: Game Reviews Feb 18, 2010, 18:15 Frijoles
 
Okay, I updated Impulse and had a look. I watched the Bob Came in Pieces one. Few things:

1) They need to do a play through BEFORE they start recording. It's nice that they show the learning process, but it's also frustrating to watch them screw up over and over while they try to learn how to play the game. Perhaps skip the tutorial and go to the game.

2) The "more info" button should open in a browser, not in the same window. I wasn't finished watching it and wanted to see the price. Clicking "more info" closed the video.

3) Put the price on the screen while watching. Or something on the side that slides out with info. That'd be cool.

Overall I like what I see, and to be honest, I want to buy that game now. It will be interesting as they get more games on it. I don't see much different from other video review sites, though, other than it's easy to buy it. MUCH better than Youtube reviews. No shitty music that the person playing felt like pimping.

It has been ages since I played a Civ game, what shape were the spaces before?

They are squares in Civ 4, like a tic-tac-toe game:


x|x|x
x|C|x
x|x|x


C being the city, x being your armies (although let's be honest, we pile them up on one tile).

Elemental is doing some sort of fancy 64-bit version to have very huge maps. If it works out, I'm hoping Civ 5 does it. Might be fun to play on a massive map for many long hours/days/weeks.
