I am wondering if there is still a way to download old purchases? I have games such as Bioshock and Sword of the Stars that I purchased through Stardock years ago. I can see them in my order history but nothing else. Just curious if they are still accessible somehow or not. Thanks!
I had an isssue with my power button on my current system. It had been working fine and then just stopped one day. The problem turned out to be the button itself. I was able to turn the system on just fine with a screwdriver to close the power on jumper on the motherboard. I ended up plugging the connection from the reset button onto my Power jumper on the motherboard. Now I use my reset switch to turn on my machine. I have no reset function anymor

Well, I'm 28 now.. slowly creeping my way up to 30 with a game or 3 each night. I play with 2 others on a regular basis and based on some feedback here I proposed that we start playing draft games as opposed to blind pick. We decided to do that... then we realized that we would probably need another role or 2 under each belt in order to not get griefed/reported. So last night I dusted off Taric and put my initial horrible experiences behind me. I

Good info all around. I find myself checking back here each day to see what the discussion will be about. (well...LoL obviously. Perhaps "..what direction the discussion will take" would be better) I have been playing quite a bit of Draven lately. I was loving Cait - and I still do - but there is just something about that cocky bastard that I really enjoy. Probably his double blades of spinning death. I have definitely found that a poor start/bad matchup

I played a little more Taric.. not sure that I love him so much. I just haven't been able to do much with him. His stun is good..his heal is ok. He can take a few hits.. so far I feel like just an extra player on the map - probably due to the nature of blind pick random games... I also picked up Akali. I think she was on sale last week or so. She is ridiculous. I have onloy played a few games with her but it seems that once I get int

Thanks for the offers. I'll add you dax, and pacov - I'm always up for some constructive...yelling. I'll pick up Sona today. I keep looking at her and I have had some good experiences playing alongside her as Cait. Taric - I like him. i just haven't played him enough and figured out what I should be doing with him. I'm going to find a good guide to read through. I looked briefly at that beta game..

Wow I just had my best Cait game yet. 21-0-5 :) Obviously I was fed...and some players made bad decisions like standing too close to their tower with one bar left... but what are you going to do? The game seems to come down to who makes the biggest or most bad decisions. I don't think I've been so decked out by 14 though. I had support Nunu with me which was huge... so much fun. Question: do replays work? I downloaded the f
Yucata! Well, I was close.. The other option I was forgetting is a program called Vassal. I don't love it so much but I can see that it would work well. Lots of game modules available for it.
There is a good site called Brettspielwelt where you can play a number of great games. Caylus, Stone age, Puerto Rico, etc. There is another that is escaping me at the moment...starts with Y..... yacatu? no... One of the more geeky options is to play with your friends in a hybrid online game. I play Mage Knight: The Board Game with a friend of mine. We each have a copy of the game and connect over Skype. One of us is the "control" set where
I was reading a few chapters of Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson this evening when I started to think about other post-apocalyptic novels I have loved... Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. Love this one. I pick it up every few years to re-read. The Postman by David Brin. Such a good story.. Love it. I am Legend by Richard Matheson. Mostly a story about man living in isolation. Ver

Well, those kids are nowhere near where they needed to be. They probably should've gone in through the front entrance.. but I suppose the parking lot dictates that a bit.
Hm. No mention of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia ? I never fail to laugh at that show. I saw on Netflix that there are like 7 seasons! I also enjoyed Revolution on NBC. I guess it will be back on soon.. but I recently discovered that another show that I liked was cancelled...besides Alcatraz ... The Finder . Ah well. I'm still pissed that NBC(?) cancelled The Black Donnelly's<
I didn't read through all of the topics here so i am more than likely repeating a few of these titles - but at least I will give them some additional props. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. I envy every person who has yet to read this book. Daemon by Daniel Suarez. Same as above. So good. So good. REAMDE by Neal Stephenson. I loved Cryptonomicon and this is just another great read from Stephenson.

I picked up Jax last night.. and Taric the other day. I imagine I'll keep picking them up as the sales happen. (too bad the pink leg warmers aren't standard issue...) Also grabbed all of the runes that I can use at the moment...well, from an ADC standpoint at least - as much as I know about it anyway. Switched over to Smartcast. I hadn't been using it at all. What a difference. I'm sure it might have been in a newbie guide

I've gotten a pair of friends into the game over the past week and they've taken to it well. The best part is that we play over Skype which makes the game so much better. I've been playing Cait a bit more and loving her. I find that almost every game I am matched against a Miss Fortune. She is kind of a pain. I also finally hit 20 last night so i can start picking up T3 runes :) Also watched a couple EU qualifiers this weekend. Fun s

Couple questions: 1) Based on reading through the last couple of pages - how many different champions (to know) does anyone think is a good starting foundation. I am still fairly new and play mostly Malphite/Ashe with some Cait/Kat/Yi. Is there a certain number of carry/support/tank/jungle/etc that would be good to shoot for. I'm thinking that if I get into some more organized games in the future I want to be as beneficial as I can be. 2) Possibly a

Having a jungler essentially always occurs in games with level 30 players. Therefore, you need to create an additional solo lane. Top is preferable to bottom because you want 2 people in the lane closest to dragon. You need those two people, otherwise the other team can exert superior dragon control, which is a significant advantage. Pro teams will frequently invert top and bottom and go 2v1 top and 1v2 bot. This is based on pre arranged champions

cool, I'll check in. I am usually not on until 9:30 or 10 though . Tough for me to get on any earlier with a brood of children :)

Super. Thanks for the information. Very helpful as I try to piece together how the next stage of the game is going to go for me. I'm level 15 now and I generally only get in 4-6 games per night depending on the day. Weekends may be more... I'll take a look at those champs and see what looks good. Cait has been on my radar for awhile but I really want a good tank and a support that I can learn to give me more options. Sometimes on the blind

Also a question about laning based on pacov's post above: Why is sustain king in top lane? Is it because in your games a jungler leaves top solo (in my <30 games there is no jungler to speak of)? I understand why staying in the lane is so key - but I don't quite grasp why top and bottom are given different distinctions. Is it just an accepted strat for all? There are times in my games, which are blind pick, where you get a crappy match-up i

So I have been playing Ashe quite a bit. I really like her and I think I have gotten better at my positioning - and at managing her abilities and limitations. It's not perfect as there is little to no strategery in the games that I play. At times I develop some synergy with the person I am laning with but mostly we are just fighting near each other... I have played some Katarina ans Yi...I like both of those as well. As above
