I didn't really care much for Vae Victus, and NA wasn't very impressive either, imo. IN was great, though, and made EU3 an excellent game. I just hope we won't have to wait for paradox to make 2 expansions for HOI3, before it becomes worth playing. I'll be getting it on release regardless, but I...

I was disappointed in Rome. Also in Europa Universalis 3 when it first came out. I'm still looking forward to HOI3, though.

I agree. It's not as bad as it's made out to be, the original is just so much better. I think I'll have to replay the original now.

I like to use ciabatta buns for my burgers. Also, a few jalapeños is good. And real men play Aussie Rules.

That's how I feel. The difference seems somewhat arbitrary. What about Asterix, Tintin, Lucky Luke, Spirou and so on? What about The Phantom, which is a superhero comic, but each issue usually has a self-contained story line. Hell, I even own a few Beetle Bailey "graphic novels" (in the sense...

Don't forget the Mexican touch, achieved with guacamole.

Thanks for the input guys. Apparantly the Force Feedback Pro is gameport only, plus it has problems with xp compatibility, so I ended up ordering a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 on ebay. I'll need an adapter for the power plug, though, but that's easy and cheap to get, so no big deal.

After reading the Mechwarrior thread, I pulled out my old Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries and got hooked. I know Mechwarrior 4 will be released for free soon, but I went ahead and ordered them, since they were cheap. So now I'm missing a joystick. My old one broke down about 8 years ago, and I...

Yeah, I'm a bit sceptical, too: Easier controls? The old one was point and click. Unless they're coming up with a new way to interface with a computer, that makes the mouse obsolete, I don't see how it can get much easier. The shit controls from MI4 certainly weren't. Although, to be...

Well, it seems that Mechwarrior 4 and its expansions will be released for free soon, so I'll be trying that one for sure. Unfortunately, Mechwarrior 3 seems to be somewhat difficult to obtain at a decent price. If it's true that the 4th one was dumbed down, I guess I don't have particularly...

I haven't played any Mechwarrior game since Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries. I loved that game, though, so I wouldn't mind a new one, if it's done well. Were 3 and 4 any good? Are they worth playing, considering that the graphics must be somewhat outdated by now? I guess I might try to track them...

Pretty much everything from Disney is a graphic novel, by that standard, I guess.

Recently I realised that most of the games, I'm looking forward to play, are actually indie games. I guess this is partly because the games I like (some of them anyway), perhaps don't appeal to the majority of gamers, and so the big companies don't produce them, while small indie companies are...

I noticed a few people whose make-up really sucked, but most had done a pretty good job. One guy had an amazing Captain America outfit, properly shredded of course, and with plenty of wounds and bloodstains. I guess Cap' must've lost his mighty shield, before being overwhelmed.

I'm reading the Accursed Kings series, by Maurice Druon. They remind me of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (apparantly Druon was one of Martin's inspirations), only in a historical setting, with historical characters. The main problem is that the books are out of print (the...

Yeah, MI4 was the weakest one. I'm not sure I like the graphics in the updated version of the first one, though, although it's a bit hard to make out. If it turns out to be good, I hope they'll give MI2 the same treatment, since that one's my favourite in the series. In any case, I'll be...

I wasn't actually planning on going, since I'm busy with exams, but a friend of mine kept nagging about it. There'll be another one next year, but you have to sign up beforehand. I think they'll post about it on this page, once it's time to sign up. It'll be a while, though.

The Copenhagen Zombie Crawl is tonight. As I understand it, it's practised in several countries, although at different dates. I participated earlier, but felt a bit apart, since I didn't wear any make-up (I came straight from another engagement). I'll definitely be back next year with...

Are you using an nvidia graphics card? I've been having trouble with spell effects screwing up the game. Enabling software blitting in the graphics options resolves this, but there's also a fix for it. I don't know if this is your problem, but since you mentioned that it happens when...

Sango 2 is about the 3 kingdoms era in China, although you may not find that interesting either, if you're not interested in the sengoku jidai. Strength & Honour is about the Roman empire, but I haven't tried it, so I can't really comment on it. They're developing a sequel to that one, at...
