I'm Michael Jackson and this is my favorite store on the Citadel.

yeah cuz waiting forever for each player to finish their turn sounds like a GREAT time haha

Computers don't use light bulbs anymore, Max. They think a bit faster now ^_^

Also, that Michael Jackson vid - still not as awesome as Ugly Shepard though.

lol i believe he is refering to civilization's in which you have to wait for youe partner to do all his stuff and press the end turn button so you can do your next move.

 

[El Stormo]

I know, but the computer takes his turns very fast, and I only play single player.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Yeah, I meant in a multiplayer situation. Waiting for Human characters to make their turns. I'm all for it in single player. Rome Total War is by far my favorite RTS (which is actually way fun in multiplayer because you just do the battles, I've had some epic ones).

 

[ShadowsWithin]

i wish my friend would build a new comp cause i want to try out Empire total war grand campaign beta but im realllly not a fan of the campaign in that game, battle are meh too.

graphics are lovely though, it ran like shit on my 9800GT but i get a good 30 frames with the new card. once i get another one it will run like a champ.

Yeah, I know. Playing TB with humans is boring, sadly.

Dragon Age 2 is up for preorder though no set release date.

can anyone tell me if this netbook, when it comes out, will be able to run Elderscrolls Oblivion?

I heard the cpu is too weak, but then I read somewhere it should be able to handle the game without problems.

with some mods like low poly grass and optimized distant LOD you might be able to play in on low. my quadcore 6600 2.4 ghz and ati HD 5770 still has a hard time playing it on high with qarls texture pack redimized.

fuck it , i might as well just get a laptop. i love the netbooks though. they're so great for travel.

Yeah, pretty sure you'll be able to play on lower settings if you tweak a bit.

I went ahead and downloaded ALL the DLC for Ass Effect 2. (that's what I've always called it)

Overlord
Aegis Pack
Equalizer Pack
Kasumi - Stolen Memory
Alternate Appearance Pack #1
Firewalker Pack
Cerberus Arc Projector
Cerberus Weapon and Armor
Zaeed - The Price of Revenge
Normandy Crash Site
(Cerberus and down are free with the Cerberus Network)

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Overlord is pretty fun. The best of the DLCs for sure.

 

[El Stormo]

I've got it all d/l'ed too, ready for my next playthrough - which will be for next year or summat.

 

[Liverslapper]

Wow.

The Overlord add-on had to of been the best DLC I have ever played.


It was good, very good.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I'm currently saving to get (most) of the Dragon Age DLC then I'll be doing another ME2 run with all the DLC.

 

[El Stormo]

If I was ten years younger, this would have made me cream my jeans.

Also, Disciples III is available on Steam. If you're like me and waited eight years since the first game, you'll be similarly thrilled. Shame the voice acting's a bit shoddy and the Undead Hordes aren't playable
