This is unbelievable... Every server i try to connect to post patch has either had map errors or Server enforcing Consistency in particles\water_dx80.pcf Can someone give me a hand here i cant find anything on it on the steam forums...this latest patch so far is utter epic FAIL!

Right. I am not blaming the victims in that it is the directors or producer's fault. I am blaming the CEO's who were too goddamned dumb to run with the ball you are right. The labels didn't Jobs did and now Jobs turned apple from being the minor geeky little comp company into a franchise that can compete directly with Microsoft. And if you think that didn't piss Gates off you are out of your mind. Thats off topic though. The people breaking the law DESERVE to be punished i don't disagree with you. I dont pull that crap on my own PC. But finding them and arresting them is very difficult if not impossible given certain methods. Then the trial. You think there aren't first amendment issues in play? Jesus Christ the first real case of minor piracy prosecuted will hit the supreme court before its over. I am not talking about the big guys who down load terrabytes of this stuff. I am talking about the guy who couldn't find the song he wanted anywhere else. Or a movie never destined for US shores. But both industries could take a huge step in curbing piracy by what i suggested above. And by not doing that they only perpetuate a cycle is ego driven. These companies are in the position they are in due to Pride. Make no mistake piracy has always been a crime and its always been a problem. There have been people bringing camera's into theatures recorders into concerts and all of that. And it was just as illegal then as it is now. But this latest stage in this battle over piracy IS the industries' fault. If a person wants something bad enough they are going to find it or do whatever it takes to get it. Had they been either on the curve or ahead of it concerning this issue sites like Napster may never have developed. Many groups continue to refuse to move into the 21'st century or wont do it fast enough.

I think he means that the solution is to revolutionize the way the music companies and movie companies do business. Lets be honest here. We can get better resolution on our monitors than in most movie theaters IMAX being the only exception and there arent many of those. Bootleg copies of movies are irrelevent but i know people that would easily pay 10 dollars a viewing to watch a new movie in their homes rather than have to drive to theaters pay obscene prices for popcorn and soda and candy. And god forbid bringing friends along! A large enough monitor and you basically have a movie screen for multiple people and entertainment pc's are getting real close to the point where thats easily done. Hell New dvd's are already adopting the digital copy method to allow people to watch on laptops or permanent placement on PC's The best and easiest way for the entertainment industry to compete is to adapt what they almost destroyed. Napster. Napster and Itunes pretty much have it right If a record label got its songs together and created a simular service (assuming its good) It would easily turn a profit. Movie companies can operate in simular fashions Netflix is already proving that. If the companies dont adapt to the new technology they will eventually either fall apart or take such drastic measures that the internet as we know it will end. I for one would love to be able to sit at home and watch the upcoming ST movie on this with my setup. The movie theaters are middlemen and because of it charge absurd and obscene prices for tickets and food. The companies can cut out the middlemen and in turn make more in profit if they have the wit and the balls to attempt it. His point was to not give up. But to force the entertainment industry into the 21'st century. That is how you will curb piracy. Nintendo understands that better than anyone else which is why its released several old games with upgrades on the DS. It probably curved down ROM's as a result.

Thanks for the information on that.

I am sorry for all of you. I am dealing with no small amount of ISP problems here but thankfully hope is around the corner for me. This is a case where people should be looking to smaller groups that might have access. RCN is an eastern seaboard network i think with ties in several parts of NY i know they are down as far as DC at the least. Bundled packages are the way to go at this point and if TW does pull this I am going to have a real hard time justifying watching ANYTHING under the WB banner.

Stop abusing the messages. They show up for anyone having steam online at the time. Continued abuse will result in reporting and my own removal from the OCR group. This is getting stupid.

It was hands down one of the top five games of the Era. Its story and general quality were above what anyone expected for the time. It rivaled Final Fantasy Six in enjoyment factor. Many came and gone after that. And still until recently there have not been truly serious challengers to the position this game took so long ago. Chrono Trigger's music is unbelivable for the timing of the original game. It was magnificent for a 16 bit system and to this day its soundtrack is one of the more remixed ones. At the time that it happened Sega had no serious RPG's The genre was taking off at unbelievable speeds with the successes of other games and this one raised a bar the benchmark by which all future games would be judged. When you come across a game like this when its still new it tends to have a permanent effect on you. In your case you experienced it post FF7 and other games so your bar was set differently. It is a benchmark of gaming.

For those looking for inspiration Aya Brea (Parasite eve) Croft of Course (but thats over done imo) Tifa, Kerrigan, Fran, (Anyone from DOA VF and Most of SF and SC)

Played through HL 2 and Portal in one sitting Beating Sup Com in hard mode. A 5 kill spree in combat arms that led to a flag recapture and a game victory. Achieving 33 pyro achievements legitimately in the span of a week. Finally killing Vistrix on Age of Conan Beating AC nexus. Beating halo 3.

DS has a lot of the oldschool games coming back for rerelease the fact they have done CT suggests that Earthbound could be on their list. If that happens its gotta be the DS PSP however also now has the PS network which honestly is something people are going to need to start checking out. The call has gotten tougher. PSP isnt a pure gaming platform while the DS is.

Again congrats but some people have all the luck

:'( To the eternal despair of thousands of her fans everywhere. Hahahaha Hang on for a wild ride. Congrats my friend

What makes people think this is going to be a 360 title? I mean when they developed the last one for the PS3 Hideo stated that it could NOT get the job done that they wanted. If that cant i don't like the odds of a 360. What if..just suppose now... They decided to use the raw power of a gaming PC? That looks like the power button on my XPS 630.... though different colors. A PC only title has a SHITLOAD of possibilities.

JP the Real Lost World Sphere, Airframe, god this man wrote some of the best. God i suppose needed an author.

Class balance will likely be determined in part by population. I fully expect to see server limits on both jedi and sith forces. And by the by? I LOVED the fighter class in the original KOTOR. I dont expect to see droids playable (they are property after all) But i will not be surprised to see a true balance struck (Especially if they do the smart thing and make the non jedi classes the only people that can pilot ships capable of hauling passengers) Bioware games have not let me down often i dont expect this one to.

From MMORPG.com This is going to be very intresting. If they are being spaced at those intervals and that its a 30 mission campaign with a full story i could justify 50 dollars easily. Especially for this story. The size of the combined game could easily be over 60 gigs It would be a multi dvd install for one game. Hell they might have to use multiple blu-ray if it was one game. I was frustrated at first but now that i have been able to get an idea of the overall scope i cant blame blizzard. It could be considered a money grab however a few things people need to remember DVD: 4 gigs of space approximately Age of conan 26 gigs of space. And not due to crappy coding either a large part of the game has not been made accessible. Each chapter of SC2 could well be on the order of 15-20 gig per section depending on detail level army sizes and cut scenes. To release the full game in one box could equal a small CD binder's worth of disks. I can not call this a money grab any more. This is a necessary move.

I pray to god your right. But we need more information on this and very fast. If they let this hang there i know i wont be the only one canceling a preorder.

If each seperate one is packed with enough goodies to justify the tag on it they do. But with what little has been shown on playtests given to the videogame news industry at the moment there ISNT. Blizzard needs to put out details of why this is being done FAST They need to show just how many units a person is going to be able to play with. They need to explain how many missions there are and fill in a lot of holes FAST.

That means a person is going to have to purchase 3 seperate games to get the full story. If there arent a SHITLOAD of details in the next week i am canceling my pre order and may lose all faith in gaming outside of valve.

:/ No cores

The image i am getting off this one is scary. Based on trailers and commercials and the general storyline we will see bond go to a place he has gone only twice. Once it got neutralized a tad because of who Sean Connery was. The second time was License to Kill. It wasnt the best of the bond movies but it was a real twist and showing just how far he could go. This is where i see quantum going. If it goes to that type of bond be prepared to have your mind blown.

A lot of pc gamers today multi task. The real high end rigs can run a game on one screen a movie on the other. Now if you have one DVD drive (not that uncommon) you can only watch movies on that drive. Most games however are DVD only these days. This forces pc users to have two dvd drives. While that in itself wouldnt be so bad you cant find JUST a dvd drive. Typically adding a second one is a pretty nasty expense. Also they do die eventually. Replacement costs can be a pain in the ass especially with gamers who play such games alot. Being able to play a game without having the physical disc in the drive saves time saves frustration and saves your optical drive. Supreme Commander does it and hell any game you can digitally download does it. (Now soon to include crysis) Back then it was a lot harder to operate with out a disc in the drive. Now its commmonplace to do so. To be forced to use a disc is very annoying. Especially ontop of the DRM.

Mech games for inspiration. Mechwarrior 3050 SNES Mechwarrior series PC Mechcommander X box has a few Add in the Armored core series PS1-PS3 (give me some goddamned cores!) Heavy Gear. On the topic of Armored core. Would i be able to assemble an AC on that game transfer it to my PC (i think i can set up that with a flash drive.) And basically use the coloring and paint design concepts in game for it? I have no real artistic talent at all.

There is a wikipedia entry out there. Some of the stuff suggested on it quite frankly brings the game to a whole new level. 9/2/08: The day Google declares open unrestricted warfare against Microsoft.

Search: Xenogears Chuchu's flight Pilot the yggdrasil Also Metal Gear may cry As already stated chrono symphonic is an epic one VoTL has a few epic pieces Ryu for 4 piano's is an incredible combination. Ascension to cosmo canyon is another
