just bought warcraft3 yesterday... wow!!! what did ya like/dislike about the game?

There's no sea warfare - only air warfare. The game is actually better single than multiplayer thus far for me, so I'd say yes. Did anyone notice how they recycled a bunch of ideas from starcraft? e.g. the undead summon buildings like the protoss and have to build on the blight much like the...

just bought warcraft3 yesterday... wow!!! what did ya like/dislike about the game?

I'd say this is the third best RTS I've played, but the absolute best for single player. The storyline and single player missions are a lot more varied than anything I've seen in an RTS before, with enough variety to keep you interested. The multiplayer experience falls short of AOE2 and the...

Why do so many fat people say they can't lose weight?

The posts in this topic bring me to one logical conclusion: At least "those people" realize they are fat. That's the first step (admitting you have a problem). Most in this thread haven't even reached the first step in dealing with their ignorance.

Pop-up ad seemingly from nowhere (adsorter.bannerhosts...)

These past few days, I will be exploring the net on trusted sites, or even just opening IE. Suddenly, I will get two pop-up ads, even though I have javascript disabled and an ad prevention program (ad subtract pro) running. One of the two pop-ups just says "welcome" in the title bar with a...

Why do people buying $25,000 cars worry about gas mileage?

Here's one for you... People who buy prius cars probably for the most part care about gas mileage. A reasonably equipped prius is $25,000. So there's one answer. Here's another one... when you comparison shop, don't you try to compare things from a multitude of angles? For example, if you...

POLL: Fullscreen or Widescreen DVD's?

I like kubrik's philosophy... film it in 4:3 and crop it on the top and bottom for the cinema, then preserve the original 4:3 for home video / dvd.

What movie did you like better SpiderMan or Star Wars EP2 Attack of the Clones?And which one would you rather see again?

Spiderman was hands down a better movie, but I'd rather watch star wars again. The special effects in it were more ambitious, and I think that you can get more from a second viewing of star wars. Heck, I might even like it more the second time since now I know just how bad the dialogue and...

Laser eye correction

I had LASIK about a year ago... I'm 20/20 or close to it in each eye now. Here are my experiences. 1) It requires a lot of up front tests, all of which SHOULD be free. First they have to get a precise measurement of your prescription, and make sure it hasn't changed recently (few years)...

What is your favorite ANIME?

For me it's not close... Princess Mononoke. Great music, creative scenery, amazing and complex storyline. A cut below that would be: Grave of the Fireflies Serial Experiments: Lain Akira Ghost in the Shell Just below that: Perfect Blue My Neighbor Totoro So bad it's good (fun to watch to...

Morrowind First Impressions

Without the no-safedisc hack, I am getting low framerates in many areas. Balmora or whatever (the first major town you go to) yields 12-20 fps outside, with the view distance at the halfway mark in the slider, and shadows fairly far down. Inside it's much better, 50-80fps, and outside of town...

how do i call a C++ program from a webpage??

Maybe I'm not understanding... will this C++ program be installed on the user's computer already? Or are you planning on running a C++ program that is not installed on the user's machine with the click of a button? It's going to take more than a click of a button. The user would have to agree...

What prog. languages are used to create Computer Games?

I'm fairly certain a huge number of companies use microsoft visual C++ and just use directx and direct3d libraries. I don't know for sure, but I'd be surprised if many people used assembly for most games. If they do, they probably are writing their own 3d engines.

Morrowind First Impressions

How do you get a framerate display? I've still only played it a few hours, but it's still holding up for me. It's like any other 3d rpg, lots of clicking in fighting. But it's certainly the best 3d rpg I've played in a long time. Better than any Might and Magic games since they went to real...

Harry who? Spiderman swings into the office with a recordbreaking $114 million

For me, movies have gone up exactly $1 in the past 10 years. So, let's assume that the average movie price is $10, and has gone up $2. So suppose, for example, spiderman makes $400 million total in the next few months. Divide that by 10, you get 40 million viewers. Multiply it by 8 and you...

Morrowind Now In Stores

Whoops. I guess I'm so used to ignoring signatures that it's become like banner blindness. Hmmm. Maybe my standards are higher, because I just upgraded and assumed all games would run at 120 fps or something.
