    AMD X2 4200+ AM2 .... ack!

    Actually, AMD desktop processors have been running cooler than their Intel counterparts for years (up until a couple months ago when Intel released the Core 2 Duo). There was one AMD processor (the Thoroughbred A) which was quite a blast furnace, but that's about it.

    Agreed. Big game companies need to know that there are still gamers out there who care about the actual gameplay, and not just shiny new graphics.

    What's Your Real Opinion About the Movie?

    When the movie cam out in theatres, I watched it with my friends, one of which was at the time a huge Wing Commander fan. To the best of my memory, we all hated it. My Wing Commander loving friend and myself were especially put off. Of course, just because I hated it doesen't mean that you...

    It seems doubtfull to me that sales of EA Replay will significantly affect our chances of another Wing Commander game one way or the other (as this is a compilation, a standalone port like Prophecy Advanced is another story). I think another Wing Commander game is pretty much inevitable, as soon...

    True, but the first response to his question insulted him and implied that he wasn't a Wing Commander fan. Take the insults out and this situation could have been avoided. People generally don't respond well to insults. I don't see him saying that anywhere. I guess the closest would be...

    Idiocracy

    Oooh... sounds interesting. Probably won't be showing anywhere in Canada, but I'll keep an eye out for the DVD release.

    It would be nice. I may or may not buy it myself, but I'll be sure to reccomend it to everyone I know with a PSP.

    Ok, I'll be a bit more specific (although I'm still not certain why the first response did not suffice) --how about this: "Hi, welcome to cruis.net. The point of our polls is usually that they're a fun joke. We thought it would be cute if there was no 'no' option. After all, it wouldn't hurt to...

    What are you referring to with the word "That"?

    Out With The Old, In With The New (September 2, 2006)

    And from my perspective he didn't come here to bitch. It seems to me that he is trying to defend himself. Granted, attack is probably too strong a word. But you did insult him by implying that he isn't a Wing Commander fan. And yeah, you *did* directly answer his question --but the two aren't...

    A Little BattleTech & Shadowrun Nostalgia

    Anyone ever play the Genesis Shadowrun game?

    Stop. Let's put things in prespective. sq_paradox's first post. It doesen't seem to me that sq_paradox is bitching. Rather, he is pointing out a funny little quirk in the poll. "Are you planning to buy a Sony PSP for EA Replay?" implies a yes/no answer and it is funny when one looks over the...

    BREAKING NEWS: EA Replay Officially Announced! (August 31, 2006)

    Oops, sorry about that. On closer inspection it I can see that everything is stretched. Also, if you look close enough you can see a slight graphical glitch. Horizontal black lines at the edge of the 'view screen'.

    BREAKING NEWS: EA Replay Officially Announced! (August 31, 2006)

    Nah, looks like only the HUD is stretched. The laser bolts look perfectly round. Makes you wonder how other games will be adapted to the PSP's aspect ratio though.

    Unofficial Fan created 'King's Quest' Sequel given approval by Vivendi

    I'm not saying that the some people from the PR team didn't act stupidly. All I'm saying is that a lot of community members here were equally stupid. I don't want to offend people here though, so I won't say much.... unless you really want me to... or you could just let it go.

    Did anyone try modding Battlecrusier?

    I think in BC's case most sales *do not* come from recognition of the franchise. I mean, BC gets such a bad rap that I think very few people would buy it if they knew what it was. I bought Universal Combat because it was cheap and the text on the box looked inticing, not because of recognition...
