And now the bad news ... This method NO LONGER WORKS with the latest XP "security update". I couldn't find any way to uninstall Windows Messenger. BAH! _/ C (I don't mind MS installing "critical .NET components" just wish the…

I got hit by an annoying browser "helper" object recently when I installed the latest (crappy, gnutella-based) version of Morpheus. It had installed a browser helper object that redirected through a stat-gathering site every time I went to…

http://www.playmore.com go. enjoy. I've put up high res videos of this engrossingly disturbing TV Spot (MOV and WMV format) on CPHL in the Video/Game Related Videos/XBOX folder. Why is it named "Champagne"? No idea. Many thanks to Scru…

Moron Diplomacy (and expansion) I'm actually coming to think that it's not so much early expansion that's key, but securing borders and early *diplomacy*. As Muff mentioned, getting (and keeping) rights of passage with your neighbors as soon as yo…

Re: Well crap... (Quote) I'm pretty sure all those little buttons have key equivalents. The diplomacy button is shift-D and I think the histogram button is shift-H. All the keyboard shortcuts are in the PC manual, at least they're in the PDF versio…

(scooby-doo voice) Ruuuh? (Quote) What the... ? Now that's a comment I've not seen. Curious what feels imbalanced to ya... _/ C (who is doing much much better after learning to expand quickly and abandon games with untenable starts)

Civ and Call To Power are really different games (Quote) I would like to have bought Call to Power but there is no way in hell I'm gonna spend a dime on an orphaned piece of software. After I read a lot of reviews that slammed it for critical operat…

Is Civ III really any good? (Quote) Yes. It's good. I like it. A lot. Most of the folks I've talked with who have been disappointed with Civ III were looking for something not Civ ... like a "next generation" Alpha Centauri or something. …

hotline.clanplaid.net cya there ;-) (Quote) Yeah, and the bastards left out the multiplay! Can you believe it? Maybe I can get my fix for strategic domination with multiplayer MOO3? Not only am I playin Civ 3, but I'm playin it on my new Sony VAIO…

Check out Staten's trip to the MS company store... it's hilarious: http://www.bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl?file=%2Fsite%2F0%2Fsite%2Fbnet%2Fsoapbox%2Fsoapbox02_01.html "My children," he bellowed, shifting his Herculean, Bavarian weight fro…

Re: Neverwinter Nights (Quote) PC's are cheap. Suck it up and buy one. Apple abandoned gamers years ago, and, with its current crop of machines, continues to orphan Mac gamers way behind the technology curve. And don't EVEN get me started on Cocoa. …

Re: Wintermute/Joe (Quote) Hey, wufster ... Blackbeard was on CPHL the other night and mentioned that Wintermute has been hanging out on DAOC... not sure if that's much help, but I myself haven't seen hide nor hair of the ol' AI in ages. _/ C

Thanks! (Quote) We're pretty happy about it too! It's amazing how much of the group is still active after all this time (though you wouldn't know it to look at *this* message board!) _/ C Yahoo's ads may be painful, but also necessary-exec

Myb people could act like adults? There would be no need for admins if players acted like the mature (M-rated game, REMEMBER?) adults they are supposed to be. Curiously, in our clan plaid open games, we almost NEVER had the kinds of problems that h…

Broadband, computers, and games, oh my (Quote) I don't think we know these things at all. If there's anything that the past couple years should have taught us, it's that pundits don't know jack about the directions technology is going in the next fe…

Couple notes... (Quote) The DirecTV signal I'm seeing is pure as the driven snow compared to the crap I got with AT&T digital cable. While it is still mpeg encoded, the DirecTV receiver treats the signal differently while acquiring it ... it doe…

DirecTV vs. AT&T Digital Cable 'round here all the AT&T commercials about how AT&T is a better value than satellite is a bunch of hooey. My DirecTV service (just under $37) costs LESS than the bottom-of-the-line AT&T service we were…

[b]I don't do business with AT&T any more[/b] I used to love AT&T. They were the best. They had the best customer service, they had the clearest, most reliable, reasonably priced long distance service... now they just suck dead bunnies thro…

Re: thanks! one question... (Quote) Unfortunately no, because there's currently no IMAP interface to Y! mail (though I hear that may be offered for a tiny fee soon). It's fairly simple to move messages around in folders, though, even by the hundred…

Archiving Yahoo! Mail (Quote) With POP access, you can archive them off anywhere you like. Go into Y! Mail options and enable POP access (the price you pay for this is receiving a couple of Yahoo! Delivers emails per month, which are easily dispatch…

Re: Things that bug me about Yahoo Mail. (Quote) Man. I so agree with this. There is one reason and one reason only for that page. Pimping ad impressions. And it's going to get worse before it gets better. At a recent advertising conference, Greg …

I picked up this game for my Xbox today, and I gotta say -- I haven't had this much fun playing a silly mindless video game EVER. The animation & toon environments are flawless, the sound design is incredible, and the characters and weapons are …
