Actually, a lot of animation outsourcing gets sent to South Korea nowadays: take a look at the number of Parks and Songs with three-syllable names in the credits of shows like Powerpuff Girls or Avatar. Clerks: the Animated Series had a hilarious take on it. (SUPER FUN AMERICAN PARTY!)
It's actually a secret anti-scumming measure inserted by Stardock to prevent metaverse players from just ctrl-Ning until they get a homeworld with six precursor mines.
there, are, at most, only one or two installments remaining in this series Awww, thats too bad. Whats your next story to be? Actually, I don't know, I'm open to suggestions. I was considering doing a piece on Technological Victory or Influence Warfare.
hope I didn't suck too much WHAT?!?!?! )=O how could you say that?!?!? This is possibly the best story I've read in EONS! The curse of being the writer is that you see everything you could have done better
Is there a shield next to the planet?
So little Jimmy comes home from school one day and asks, "Mommy, how old are you?" "Honey, a gentleman doesn't ask a lady that question," Mommy says. Little Jimmy walks out of the room for a moment, then he comes back and asks, "Mommy, how much do you weigh?" "Honey, a gentleman doesn't ask a lady that question," Mommy says. Little Jimmy walks out of the room again. Finally he comes back and asks, "Mommy, what's your blood type?" "Honey, just go and
To any devs reading this, this should be awarded or something. Give it a link on the front page, it deserves it. Well done Themocaw!! Or at least make it a sticky post... plz... While I appreciate your sentiments, there, are, at most, only one or two installments remaining in this series, so stickying it now would be pointless. Still, I'm glad you liked it and hope I didn't suck too much <img src="http://image
There are three penguins in a bathtub. This is not a sexual joke. The first penguin says to the second one, "Hey, man, pass the soap." The second penguin says to the third one, "Hey, man, pass the soap." The third penguin spins a pinwheel and says, "No soap, RADIO!" XD
Sneaking in and smashing the enemy homeworld is always good
The only way for minor civs to get more planets than their starting homeworld is to trade them planets. That doesn't stop them from building freakin' mining starbases all over the place and hogging up the resources, though, or (in at least one case) sending constructors into your territory to build influence bases. That prompted a declaration of war, damn Jessuin trying to influence away my planets >
********** February 28, 2229 Our Final Stand "It was a good plan," One said. "It's a shame it didn't work better." The first part had gone perfectly. Five had restored power to the elevator just as we sent it up at maximum speed.: the heavily reinforced elevator car had sped upwards at an insane rate of speed like a bullet through a gun barrel, smashing Yor to bits as it raced upwards through the descending robots. In my plan, it would have gone all the
What setting do you play on, millertime? Usually, if I try to do that (the whole sneak up on them and invade every planet in one turn thing), the AI starts noticing, and they'll begin reinforcing their worlds and putting pickets in orbit around the planets. The only time it worked was when I stabbed one of my allies in the back using spore ships and killed them in one turn, and as you can imagine, it had consequences.
I usually notice it because I can see the starting positions of my opponents when I always play blind exploration.
********** March 9, 2229 TQSC "Carlos Hathcock," Sickbay I asked One today, "What went wrong?" She said, "Nothing. We completed the mission." "Yeah." I said, "but so many people died." "I know," One said. "That's why they call it war." "But I still feel like I could have done more. . . that more people could have survived." "And that," One said, "is why the Yor are going to lose." *** February 28, 2229 Len
That strategy generally works on maps with a fairly large number of planets to colonize. In other situations, you may need to step down the colony rush and switch to constructors while you research up extreme colonization, or you may not even bother and go for planetary invasions instead. Adapting to the situation is extremely important especially if you play with blind exploration. To be honest, I'm not good at the colony rush, so I usually cut it short after about six months to focu
Especially the um. . . dignified women. >_>
Or will you allow your mind to be constrained by your own human limits? I think you just made a paradoxial statement. Is it possible for a human mind to exceed human limits? No. But it is possible for a human mind to acknowledge that there are things it cannot and possibly may never understand.
Sherlock Holmes and Watson are out camping one night when, in the middle of the night, Holmes nudges Watson awake and says, "Watson, wake up." "Wha?" "Watson, look up, what do you see?" Bleary-eyed Watson looks up and grumbles, "I see stars." "Yes, Watson, and what does that tell you." "Well, Holmes. I can see the stars, so it's a clear night tonight, and meteorologically speaking, that means that tonight shall be especially chilly and tomorrow is li
The problem with these threads is this: in the end, it relies entirely on logic and rational thought for its explanations of whether God does or does not exist and it ignores a single fundamental truth about faith. To put it in gaming terms, it's like what a friend of mine used to say when a rules lawyer came after him saying, "But that's impossible, a nine=fingered grell doesn't have fireball." "Yes! You're right! THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE! And yet, THERE IT IS, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU! Wha
There is a certain point past which the game moves away from TBS to TBT (Turn-Based Tactics). At this point, you may as well play a game like Front Mission or Disgaea. I like GalCiv because although combat is an integral part of the game, it is not the only part. If you ask me, there's no need to create a whole new combat engine, just to add a couple of enhancements to the one we have (target priority, ability to retreat from battles, limited battle length).
********** February 27, 2229 Finally out of that goddamn swamp ". . . and so the farmer asks, 'Wow, how did you manage to control yourself?' and the last guy goes 'Arwahahwhawhahaaaaa,' because his tongue is all bloody," I concluded. "HAH!" Four laughed. "That's a good one!" The big frog-man roared in laughter, slapping his partially-webbed hand against his uniformed thigh. "All right, here's a short one. What's better than fnakrakhing a Dreggha against a chain
Now I lay me down to bed Darkness won't engulf my head For I can see in infrared How I hate the night. Now I lay me down to sleep Try and count electric sheep Sweet Dream wishes you can't keep How I hate the night.
Oh God, X-Com. . . how much of that game did I play? Too damn much. I remember the worst thing ever was a night terror mission and the first thing you see is a Snakeman. . . rating be damned, I'm sorry, but you civilians are dead already, you just don't know it yet and it's better if you die nice and clean now rather than become a blood-sucking Chryssalid Zombie later. *salutes and opens fire on innocent civilians*. Although as bad as X-Com 1 was that way, X-Com 2 was even worse (I remember
I think the one-on-one diplomacy is generally decent, although having the ability to negotiate more subtle trade and economic/research treaties would be nice, as would non-aggression pacts and such. Mostly, though I'd like to see the UP play a bigger role. Some examples of a scenario I would like to see, perhaps normally, perhaps as mega-events: President Alan Bradley took a deep breath as he entered the United Planets chamber, glaring across the council room at the crimso
********** February 26, 2229 This place sucks, I wanna go home. One and Six took stock of our inventory today. I'm not sure if they were trying to make me depressed, but they succeeded. Between the three of us, we have: * One's plasma pistols: both work, and each fires thirty shots before needing recharging. She's got seven reloads. That means, with the one's she's got in the guns right now, about two hundred and twenty-odd rounds of ammunition. * O
