The Silpheed DOS game soundtrack... My all-time favorite game soundtrack. There are many good soundtracks, but this is the best.

I would have to say that this is my all-time favorite theme from any game...

That long post now makes me long for the pre-WotLK WoW days... Back when a friend and I would run people through Deadmines. We were level 30+, I was a Dwarf Hunter with a Nightsaber Stalker pet, and my friend was a Night Elf Warrior. I would take control of my cat, and run through the level to agro everything, then bring it back and let my friend tank them while I did massive AoE. Our record time in that was actually when we were level 32, and we completed the entire run in under 8 minutes. (2 players, all green/white items, no special stuff)

Or the time I swam halfway around the southern part of the Eastern Kingdoms, only to die in the swamp as a dozen level 60's with epic gear tried to save me...

Or the many times where we went in with 3-4 people from our purely casual Guild, and decimated the hardcore PvPers in the various battlegrounds. (I was still remembered for that 8 years after I stopped playing, I set the standards for stat stacking in that server)

I really hope that Blizzard backs off the Vanilla servers, or opens up one of their own. I would love to see them set up a server for each expansion, and have it have the exact same functionality of the game at that point. (probly have more people playing Burning Crusade and Vanilla than all the rest combined if they did that though)

I keep getting SQL database connection errors... It only lasts a couple minutes, but it's annoying.

I played all of the franchise since the first Tropico game in my childhood. Tropico 5, in my opinion, is the worst game in the franchise, maybe worse than Tropico 2. It still has the humour and the whole aspect of mind-controlling your citizens and country, but comparing it to Tropico 4, you have less options and the game can become stale after you finish the modern era. There are still cool gameplay aspects like the upgraded eras and the AI, but it feels very lacking and leaves you wanting more.

 

I don't know if you played Tropico 4, but its basically a better version of both 3 and 5, it has more buildings, more freedom of control, more edicts, more customisation options for you dictator, more of everything, EXCEPT graphics, 5 has better graphics and art style.

Play it.

 

Trust me, Tropico 4 is one of my favorite games on PC, every hour playing it I enjoyed it (112 hours on record). Its also one of the most common games to be on sale, I got mine at 80% off, so you might be lucky to get it even at 90%. But even at 22$ with all DLC, it still worth it, (Though I might be over-hyping it, depends on how much you prefer strategy/management games)

In that case, I am done with this list. (because Ross did specifically say in a couple interviews that Steam itself was a serious concern for him)

If you remove games from a list of dead games because you can do illegal things to them to make them work, (which 99% of the people that play them probably won't ever learn about) then why even have a list at all?

Mario.

My suggestion is to look for inexpensive old college books... Can usually get those subject's books for ~$5 in near-new condition.

Why are we still talking about condoms?

Purchased 2 pairs of glasses on Saturday... Should arrive in a week or two. I will so be able to see my computer screen much more clearly.

So, you're going to completely exclude any game that has a fix? If you don't go get the crack, (which is technically a violation of their copyright) you can't play the game at all without an internet connection. (or a Uplay account that has already had the game activated and been set to offline mode, but it still requires periodic online connections)

No game should be excluded from this list if it requires ANYTHING that doesn't come in the box in order to run completely offline. (this is essentially the same thing Ross said, but he allowed for official patches to include full-offline as not at-risk, but only if it didn't remove anything from the game)

Movies are a great way to recapture the linear gameplay found in most shooters... Just look at Freeman's Mind as an example of how linear shooters work in a non-interactive video format. (I'll give you a hint, it was good enough to get you to register, read, and post on this site)

Assassin's Creed 2 series doesnt make much sense on list- rather add individual games rather than whole series, because II itself doesnt have multiplayer

Fixed.

You need to unfix that, as the SP game of AC2 is still at risk due to its reliance on the Ubisoft launcher to run.

Assassin's Creed 2 series doesnt make much sense on list- rather add individual games rather than whole series, because II itself doesnt have multiplayer

 

But i'd like to add few games

AC2 requires the Ubisoft launcher to run, (if the Ubisoft service is down, you can't play) so it makes perfect sense on this list. (the 'series' addition means it also applies to Brotherhood and Revelations) Also, there is MP for AC2. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin%27s_Creed:_Revelations#Multiplayer - Though it isn't for the original game, just the two sequels)

With all of that said, the list needs to be updated to allow for the fact that AC2, and all of it's direct sequels on the same engine, (Brotherhood, Revelations) have more than just an 'at risk: multiplayer' issue.

It's only faster with CLI if you're a fast typer, and have all commands memorized... If either of those criteria are not met, (and the second one is difficult to , considering that every single program can have completely different command structures) then a GUI will be faster.

CLI is for programmers, GUI is for everyone else.

Unfortunately, I'm just starting learning Blender, so I can't help yet...

Getting ready to head to my niece and nephew's baptism.

SNES.

I did get 4 to have that kind of range visible, but it's a huge performance hit. (though popping a super mutant at that range is very fun because they can't see you)

Scrambled eggs, and Cherry Dr.Pepper.

Was sunny and unpleasant. (in other words, what the majority of people call a 'perfect day')

Again.

Yeah... Teaching programing to 1st graders doesn't work too well, unless they also are teaching advanced math at the same time.

Really, they should be combining math and programming into one class, as nobody really uses math professionally outside of programming anymore.

Essentially, it traces projectiles based on the physics math, not the framerate & display position of the projectile. (which was surprisingly common at the time)
