I watch (get ready...)
X-Play (The only gaming show I know, need to watch it)
Angel (old reruns, since I've only watched the later episodes)
Samurai Jack (except stupid Cartoon Network got rid of it!!!)
24 (I don't watch it that much, but I saw a few episodes and it got me interested)
Smallville (The one of the teenage Superman, it's pretty good)
Friends (Tradition, though it's less funny than the earlier ones)
Seinfeld (Great show, watch it whenever I can)
Scare Tactics (Now that it's over, friday nights aren't as exciting)
Alias (I don't watch it as much as I'd like, really like it though)
That 70's Show (The new generation of top sitcom, after Seinfeld and Friends)
South Park (Hilarious, I thought it was stupid before I watched it)
Daily Show with Jon Steward (One of the greatest shows ever!)
and as soon as it begins showing... The Shield!!!!!!
PS - another show I really like but I can never remember to watch it is Combat on the History Channel (the one where they teach mediaval combat).

uh, I assume we're supposed to reply here:
Processor - Intel Pentium 4
Internal Clock - 2406MHz
I assume that's all you need, just in case:
-
"'pre-rendered CGI movies'"
And in that area, only Squaresoft can outdo Blizzard (maybe Pixar too)

I think his WFG e-mail redirects to his other e-mail.

Oh, this didn't happen to me but I saw it happen to my friend.
We were going to go play soccer, and one of the lightposts had 3-4 wires attached to the ground to support it during windy days. Well, one of my friends, as we ran to the soccer field ran straight into one of the diagonal wires. It got him in the neck and he flipped upside down and landed face down. Looked like it really hurt, I'm pretty sure he didn't play the soccer game (can't remember though)

Classic Quote #2 (to keep this alive as much as possible
)-=MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME=-
Church "Rookie, you stay here. Me and Tucker will head through the teleporter, we'll cut him off at the pass."
Caboose "Right"
Church "Tucker, you ready? Let's go."
Tucker "There's no way I'm going through that thing!"
Church "Tucker, we don't have time for this. Why would they give us a teleporter if it doesn't work?"
Tucker "I don't know! Why would they gives us a tank that no one can drive?"
Church "We already tested the teleporter, remember?"
Tucker "We threw rocks through it!"
Church "Yea, and so what? The rocks came out the other side didn't they?"
Tucker "Yea, but they were all hot and covered with black stuff!"
Church "Oh, then I guess that's what this is all about then? You're afraid of a little black stuff."
Tucker "Yes, I am. I am afraid of black stuff."
Church "Tucker, I almost hate to do this to you."
*pulls out gun*
Tucker "You wouldn't!"
Church "Well, I look at it this way: Either A we got through there and get the flag back or B we stay here and I get to kill you. Either way, I win."
Tucker "For the record, I want to know, rocks aren't people."
Church "Dully noted, now get in there"
Tucker "CRAAP... Alright, 1, 2..."
*goes through teleporter*
*silence*
Caboose "Huh... he didn't come out the other side..."
Church "Yeaa... I've decided, I've decided I'm not going to use the teleporter..."

Adam has been a bit busy (do to personal school reasons, if I remember correctly) so it might take a while before he replies. But he will, he always does

PS - Will you be reviewing WarCraft III.
(feels like no one here has played it, since it's always ignored when examples of good games are given, or bad games)

TLA's level 4 archers will have a 1% chance of instant kills. Representing Bard killing Smaug.

I also loved AoM. I think there's no better RTS engine out there right now (and no, not even Empire). Reason is that the BANG! engine seems to fit, and makes sense. It's like the Halo engine, the physics and the way it works look good and effective.
But I do have a few complaints -
The single player was WAY top easy, I didn't finish it, but on the 9th scenario I should have faced some challenge. I finally just gave up.
Overall I think AoM had the Reloaded syndrome. It was high quality, but people were expecting something so much more that it dissapointed more than it failed itself.

Oh ohh, my turn!
I'll list these as in more horrifying (at the time):
#4 - I was riding my bicicle around this building, the sidewalks between building and grass were really narrow, and I scrapped a chunk of my pinky (or thumb) off when I scrapped against the wall.
#3 - I don't remember the accident, but somehow my toe got hurt and it hurt for 2+ months afterwards. I think I broke it, just at the time I thought it was really bad if you broke something and didn't get a cast (I was like 7)
#2 - I was riding my bike in town, made a corner and a motorcycle came at me. I dodged the left and he did too, then I went to the right and he did it too and we hit. I ended up just getting up and going home, but liter of Coke I was carrying got a hole in the bottle! And the next day I was really sore.
#1 - Back in my dad's farm in Brazil he made silage. He used these huge cement... huh, bunkers I guess you can call them. But anyway, they have these long ramps that go down to the bottom of the bunker/hole about 10-20 ft long. I and the other kids would get our bikes and go down it at full speed, stopping near the end of the bunker. Well, I slipped on a bit of dirt or grass and fell. Slid down and scrapped my knee really bad (there were bits of flesh hanging out which added to the horror more than to the pain) and my *those round bones on your feet* got scrapped down to the bone which also made it look horrible and terrified me.
Good times! To look back on at least -
On e-mail, should I have put:
shanem@adress
or
elfthehunter@adress (I put the this one)

And on 0A.D., since the engine will be the same I doubt we'll be shooting for platforms they won't. I'd expect what ever is common windows at the time (like XP is today).

What battles are these? I am quite sure that's not Minas Tirith, or I hope...

Maybe he'd rather talk to us outside of forums, more private and things can be said with more freedom.
If that's the case e-mail Adam (if that's ok with Adam)

Hall of Intellectuals, shouldn't we be able to debate about whatever? But anyway, I'm not in charge so I'll let you decide if it's appropriate or not.
But I do want to leave my impression on the subject:
*The following post may seem offensive to some*
I lived in Brazil, and down there sex, violence and language are all things that exist and while it's obviously rude to go swearing, it's not as big a deal as in the U.S. Here contraversy arrises from sex and public bad language while down there it would most likely be ignored. But anyway, just explaining why my views are as they are. My parents were open about sex with me since as far as I can remember, they never restricted the movies I saw or anything (didn't buy me magazines or push me into anything and if I asked I don't think they would have bought it either, just letting the world show me without covering my eyes). Same for violence and language, this allowed me to (in what I think) a natural and fairly safe way to create my views on all three subjects.
They were not hid from public, they just weren't mentioned out of curtesy. And being here in the U.S. I find it quite ironic that a country where everyone tries to protect the children from these things has so much problems with the kids. In my school swearing, sexual jokes, drug jokes or insults and all these things happen in a daily routine (I participate, for I see not wrong in it) until a teacher approaches or an adult. We don't stop because we want to be curtious, we stop because we're afraid of getting in trouble. I just think it's better to be open and honest, than to hide flaws and not being able to find them when you want to repair them.
I hate TV cersorship, they ruin film art and the movie should be shown in it's entirerity, or not shown at all IMO. I usually, once a movie that I like comes on TV, turn the tv off and go rent it!

I thought the package thing said bytes, but that makes more sense. I must have read it wrong, or it was typo... Anyway, that makes sense.

Cyberpower, I considered building it myself but it was my mother's money and first computer I was buying (the old one my dad bought it for us) so I figured go with the safer route

But in downloads it almost never goes more than 52 kilobytes/second, though some days it's at 120k or something.
Interesting Thing About Units
in General Discussion
Posted
Another thing may I note, is that neither thing must be FULLY adopted. Comprises are a great thing. Let's say, that since 0 AD units have 4 levels (or is it more? less?) then once they reach a good level, then this new feature kicks in. you can even have it smooth in from never at level 1, 1/10000 in level 2, 1/1000 in level 3 and 1/100 in level 4. This way, at the beginning of the gameplay a usual RTS concept is shown because we don't want to scare off ppl, then once they understand the game well, they realize new things are becoming apparant, and hopefully like them
Not saying it should be done, just that it could... And I agree that this should be considered but not so much it slows down development (or if the team has already disscussed it)
