This just proves once and for all that the masses are indeed not intelligent.

I second this.
Or just get a 360 and be done with it. Which I'm leaning towards more everyday as its a stunningly complete solution.

Points are because money is a nasty, nasty thing.

Let Microsoft handle that area mmk?
LOL




I'm not anti-MS by any means, and love my 360 and Xbox Live Arcade is the best thing ever.

He was implying they were. I know it was not an affirmative statement for sure, because its clear you (and him) have no idea what you're talking about.
Go get Vista and a GF8 and drop the jealousy your hiding. Thanks.

» Looks nice but the AI?
I like what these games seem to be about.. but I always found the AI (diplomacy and battles) to be pretty weak, which ruin the games for me.

I tried to mod my copy of M2 to enhance the AI but the aftermarket ones sometimes have their own quirks.

The devs need to actually play the game before release and notice that when you own half of Europe its not a good idea for a nation with 2 territories to start backstabbing you.

Oh and on "1st class wars". That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

My grandfather killed more Nazi's, and great grandfather killed more Germans, than you can comprehend. War is not glorious and it's clear you have no comprehension of it.

The reason the Europeans don't have "1st class wars" any longer is due to America's godlike military power.
None of you dare step into a match of arms with the USA. Even the USSR didn't.
Get over yourself. You are about 400 years past your due date for glory.

You should be THANKFUL that the USA exists, to continue to carry Anglo culture and make the English language the universal language that it is today!
All of which rubs a bit of prestige off onto the UK, none of which you EARNED but you get some scraps, nontheless.

Your petty nature and small-minded worldview disgusts me.
I plan on visiting Europe someday in my life, please post where you live exactly because I choose not to share any of my money with your or your neighbors. Or anyone who exhibits your neanderthal intelligence.

w00t-

You are exhibiting serious small-man syndrome when it comes to the United States.

Most of us here love Europe. It's where we came from.
Contrary to what you believe, the "ugly American" hardly exists compared to the "ugly Euro" that you have put on display for us all..

I'm assuming you are a child about the age of 16 to say such stupid, petty things.

Quit harming international relations and let us educated, mature Americans and Europeans negotiate.
Rather than having to endure your stupidity.

"If not for the surrender monkeys, you would still have the Queen on your bills like the rest'o them."

Thats nice too. I'm sure that makes NZ, Canada and Australian citizens feel nice that you look so highly upon them. "Like the rest of them"? Geez. ARROGANCE.

Thank God we don't have that, I do consider it a blessing.
I would never want to pay homage in any sense to a nation that you represent.

Considering both most American women and men came from Europe.. thats an interesting lie you're telling yourself.
And we defeated you in wars twice (4 times including the Revolution and Spanish-American War).

1st class wars, 1st class chicks?
Try again.
How about 1st class arrogance and 1st class ignorance.

Online distribution is the future of all movies and all gaming.

To curb piracy, and to allow ease of access and cheaper pricing.
Nice side effect is nearly all the money goes directly to the developers or directors involved in the creation.

I hope BluRay and HD-DVD both die (which they will, this is the "hard copy" industry's last stand).

XboxLive and Steam have a monumentous opportunity here.

Steam needs to break-off into their own company so that competitors to Valve feel comfortable utilizing the system.

Are you saying that because you don't have a DX10 card, or because you don't have Vista?
