Thread: MGs not setting up27 Jul 2015, 20:15 PM Your movements in that vid are very quick; might it be an input lag issue, which could perhaps be solved by holding and dragging for a little bit longer? In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: XCOM26 Jul 2015, 23:33 PM Just as an aside, for those who can't wait, there is actually a sort of XCOM clone in the form of the Falling Skies game, tied into the TV series, which has made absolutely no splash at all and is therefore little known. It's not quite as slick or pretty, but on the up side it has a lot of handcrafted maps that you play only once. On the whole, it's no more than serviceable, but if you're really jonesing for some XCOM style action, it may hold you over. LP found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYhsJLxIzlg In: Other Games

Thread: Coh 2 doing weird things, please help22 Jul 2015, 11:22 AM If you have not done a complete "delete local files" and reinstall, that would be worth trying. It might just about be possible to have these symptoms arise from a corrupt or damaged media surface, and 'verify local files'might not be comprehensive to catch that. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Just wanted to share this22 Jul 2015, 11:20 AM I think this is among the dumbest of contemporary conspiracy theories. The idea that a programme as vast as this is alleged to be could possibly be executed in secret by any government, let alone the American government, is utterly laughable. The US government, for reference, shipped $billions in cash to Iraq and let it vanish into thin air; not exactly indicative of omni-competent master plans for secretive projects. On top of this, when we look at leakers like Snowden, the prospect that such a big thing could be executed without a single whistleblower coming forward also beggars belief. It's certainly reasonable to be concerned about contamination by harmful stuff in our habitat; but the origins of these things are far more likely to be industrial and inadvertent than conspiratorial. Investigating issues like regulatory capture and sweetheart terms offered to big business may not be as dramatic and sexy as imagining the machinations of evil 'gubmint', but it's much, much more likely to be true.

Thread: DLC Business Ethics - Making a Stock Unit Premium 20 Jul 2015, 20:23 PM A unit is a mechanic; the difference between them is purely cosmetic. They are both just a deliberate and particular arrangement of effects. In: Lobby
Thread: Dev Diary pt1: UKF - From History to Gameplay 20 Jul 2015, 20:17 PM I was reading some stuff by an nuke disarmament group a while back that cited a study which estimated that a full scale WW3 exchange would only produce a further 50k casualties worldwide from radiation effects. Radiation is nasty stuff but also exaggerated. In: Lobby
Thread: DoW3, anyone? Possibly?20 Jul 2015, 19:59 PM Companies don't have much incentive to work on games they have already sold; you/we should all be glad we get as much time and effort out of Relic as we do. I really dislike DoW2; the smaller scale took much of the interest away for me. Plus I always found the symmetrical maps boring. I'll certainly be looking at DoW3, but mainly in the hopes that it is more COH-like than not. In: Scrap Yard
