  1. Okay. Pretty much as I figured... I wonder why they are being so tight lipped on the features of them, though? Seems like if they have something special planned they should be trumpeting it about to encourage people to check out the game. *shrug*
  2. Yep I confirmed this myself as well. In fact when my friend and I were blacksmithing together he would shout about going Bold on a Red and when it succeeded we cheered and he got LOADS of quality from it.
  3. Using Rapid a lot also seems to destablize the synth.
  4. If it's a concern about using a CC or Debit card, Paypal offers gift cards at most convenience and other stores. I'm not sure if there is an extra fee tied to them, though. From what I understand they are just like a regular gift card.
  5. That sounds good... Drink up me hearties!
  6. Because the Aussies deserve to be thrown a bone once and a while. Have you seen how awful it is down there in terms of release dates for most games, much less all the censoring they do? :cry: Poor blokes. Yeah it's worse than the EU and what Schwarzenegger is trying to shove through. Sides you can't wear both at the same time and the Onion Helm is dorky anyways.
  7. Declare war on your own? Yeah I am thinking I will war declare America before that turn hits. Hehe... Yes I feel the same way. It's amazing how fast time flies playing it. Just....one....more....turn!
  8. My game kept crashing on a certain turn where Napolean and Washington both declared war on me... happened the second time too. Not sure what to do now.
  9. Good man! My trebuchets are getting two upgrades right off the bat from my facility in Moscow. Washington will be sorry he sniped the spot that had iron, gold, and an oasis from me... :twisted:
  10. Slowly building up my empire, for Mother Russia! Unfortunately no vodka as a luxury item. :cry:
  11. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on this one. For those of you thinking of buying... the boxed copy is the same price as the Steam copy and doesn't offer anything you don't get with the Steam version. You can also pay a little more to get the deluxe version on Steam which has another civ but I think I'll pass on that. One really cool thing about buying it on Steam is that they will be donating some of the proceeds to a charity and you can choose which charity you want yours to go to. :moogle: EDIT: Erf... just bought but had no option to choose a charity...
  12. I just played the demo..... :frustrated: I was getting really into it then... DEMO OVER. Game feels like it fixed everything I loathed about Civ4, especially the combat. UI is SO easy and quick to use now. Now I have to decide if I should pay $50 for a game I'll be shelving for awhile in a day. :oops:
  13. Apparently the photo was chopped... http://www.geekosystem.com/ian-mckellen ... eto-shirt I think both shirts are pretty awesome. :approve:
  14. Really? How strange, mine was on. == I'm so OCD about setting up a game before playing it I ALWAYS go through the graphic and other setups first. It annoys me greatly when games don't let you do this. (I'm looking at YOU City of Heroes!)
  15. Thanks, I totally missed while doing my settings =_= The other good news is that it is defaulted to "On"
  16. Yeah... that whole thing makes me wonder if I should make a trip to Wal-Mart tonight and cross my fingers they have a copy. Of course I COULD just be a responsible adult and wait until mine comes tomorrow. But what fun is that? :moogle: As for the 8pm EST thing... I'm thinking that's basically midnight the 22nd in Japan. Having such a staggered release could be a good or bad thing for us. We won't really no until tomorrow comes and all the NA players start registering copies. EDIT: Yeah, that's what it is... as of this posting its 1:39am on the 22nd in Japan.
  17. So the Lodestone is online. It actually looks really REALLY helpful. It even has info about the game that I haven't seen covered on the fansites. Another plus is that it has crafting recipes from 1-30. http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com/pl/index.html Oh and Hardware Cursor in the retail client is confirmed
  18. Uhh so on Steam it says it unlocks in 14 hours? I thought Steam unlocked stuff at midnight on release day? Even less time to play before FFXIV than I thought... meh I'll wait for the version they'll eventually release with all the expansions added.
  19. I'm the girl that always played Catharine the Great. Mostly because she was always the only female that looked... umm normal? That and the Russian units always rocked.... oh and vodka! :cheer:
  20. :lol: Truth be told, English has always been an evolving language, for better or worse.
  21. As much as I liked Richard Harries (RIP) and Michael Gambon (especially his appearance on Top Gear) I can't help but feel that Ian would have made an amazing Professor Dumbledore....
  22. LOL Yeah my first wake-up call on this was when I bought my 9800 GTX+ OC. I literally had to swap all of my internal components into an old but larger case just to fit all of it. My new 470 GTX is the same size, though, which is "nice". I mean... I'm glad they didn't get bigger... The reason why? Well... video cards now are nearly as powerful as the main computer. nVidia cards handle not just graphics but also physics processing. Also since the GPUs run faster and therefore hotter, they need much more cooling than older cards, hence the huge fans.
