Caffeine free Dr.Pepper, and some fruit gummies...

Heading for bed.

So, I only briefly saw the gameplay for this game at a friends house years ago so I'm not sure how much of what I remember is accurate. If he gave me the name I don't remember it.

 

The game style seemed that of a RTS. The art style was very cartoony, almost like that of the Worms games but basic 3D and top down. From what I recall the units were short and fat and looked like they were made of clay. When they died I can't remember if regular old red blood came out or if it was more akin to liquid clay the same color as the unit. I don't recall much of what base building was like if any since I only really saw him moving the units around to attack other units.

Sounds a lot like Army Men...

Pillars of Eternity. Quite a fun game, and a good story.

Tons of potential, but limited to level 12 or 14 if you have the DLC, only 3 types of enchanting, only 3 types of crafting, and can't enchant anything except weapons/shields and primary armor. They really focused on the pauseable real-time combat, and spell system though. (it feels very smooth, and I definitely like it)

I wish there were more like this, or an easy way to mod this to include more item customization capabilities. (and unlock the level limits, add new spells, etc.)

[EDIT] For more accurate description.

It would take a very long time to describe accurately how the system knows where it stores what it stores, but there is a fairly simple analogy for it... Imagine your RAM as a row of houses on each street, each house has an address, and those addresses never change. The RAM controller acts like the post office, and sends and receives the information for specific addresses. This is an incredibly simple way of looking at the physical RAM addressing system, but it tends to be quite effective. How it stores the information is difficult to describe, but think of it as a set of on/off switches that change only if they get a signal sent to them, and they stay in that configuration until sent another signal. Looking up diagrams for Random Access Memory construction might help you concerning these questions.

As for how the CPU knows what to do with the RAM, now you're getting into the programming aspect of things. I recommend looking up information about the Assembly language, as it is the primary language used by the CPU, and it deals heavily with memory operations. (when you hear someone say that binary is 'machine code' they know nothing about modern computer systems, it's all hexadecimal opcodes in the Assembly language)

Too bad that isn't a manned mission, and asking for colonists...

By the way Ross, what do you think of those red/blue nVidia anaglyph glasses? Even though I have the LCD shutter glasses, I bought some of the anaglyph ones just to have them, and the red lens is so obnoxiously red it kind of hurts my left eye to wear them. The blue lens seems to be fine though.

Sounds like you have a similar issue as me, color spectrum sensitivity. Your eye is overly sensitive to certain colors. Most people have slightly better sensitivity to red in the left eye, and blue in the right, but occasionally it is more pronounced. This issue is the main reason I stopped using anaglyph glasses decades ago, and am looking forward to stuff like the Oculus Rift.

Never have flashbacks. Ever.

If it was found that luck, and several other beneficial statuses were found to actually be viruses in real life?

Actually, it's from SPAZ. (Space Pirates and Zombies)

Yours is from The Getaway.

"Ga la lung...."

Pathetic.

Have you guys looked into call centers?

I refuse to even consider a normal call center. The only people that do well, and don't end up with crippling levels of stress, are those that would be at home trying to sell you a used 2002 Hyundai with 110k miles and no airbag for $8K.

Non-standard call centers are like where I worked last year... Receive calls for modem troubleshooting, and that's it. Quite fun when it comes right down to it.

Despite the ease of maintenance of a shorter haircut, I still feel better with longer hair... Don't know why. Logic doesn't seem to help.

Playing the daily stuff in Galaxy Legend, and getting ready to test Pillars of Eternity.

Very interesting... It's the cold war all over again.

Generals is still amongst my favorite RTS games.

I still list it as the absolute peak of the C&C series. (and that's not an insult at all)

Government jobs have the benefit of extreme levels of job security... Unfortunately, that also means that unless they are expanding their workforce, or someone retires/dies, there aren't any jobs available.

Pirated Act of Aggression, just to test... Will buy when I have the money.

Pirating Pillars of Eternity... If it feels like a good game for me, I'll buy it when I can.

Unachievable.

My biggest questions/fears (concerning computer repair/tech guy, among other potential careers considering tech/computers) are "Am I overqualified? What about under-qualified?"

You are overqualified if you know how to use Google, Youtube, and can follow instructions. The biggest problem is actually finding a job in that field.

Not good. Can't stand my mother right now.

If I don't post on here again in the next couple days, that means I have left my home, and am out wandering; looking for a decent place to set up camp for a few months.

* If any music experts out there (or here) consider people who play the music for video games a band, please let me know.

Look up 'Robert Euvino' (did the music for the Stronghold series) and 'Timothy Steven Clarke'. (Tribes 2)

OT: Off topic.

Have to agree with that. Permadeath should be firmly in the realm of "optional".

Act of Aggression.

Yup, it's the next in the line of the C&C Generals games.

Act of Aggression.

Feels a lot like a spiritual successor to C&C Generals... With a little bit of Supreme Commander thrown in for good measure.

I always did wonder why I couldn't rebind keys in-game in Unity... Now I know. I feel for you.
