Hey guys, I'm having a big problem at the moment with my laptop, at least one graphics card had fried it's memory! Does anyone know anything about fixing this - I've had it opened up and unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible to remove one and leave the other, so I'm either after someone who c...

I think many are still misinterpreting or misrepresenting a nomadic lifestyle as *the* way to play the early game, and frankly, that's just setting new players up for pain and wandering aimlessly to find villages before you need them. I feel I should apologise for that - I enjoyed the new challenge...

It's sad to see all of you trash Sarudak... To be fair, only one person actively trashed him - and I was twitching to PM them and ask them to reign it in a bit, but the conversation had moved on and no-one had piled on so I didn't. Everyone else just tried in their own ways to counteract the wall o...

A friend of mine from work just bought minecraft on friday, by monday he had a fully safe base and was playing with redstone and complaining he was bored, I just today passed him the mod and a VERY detailed "how to install" since he is a computer illiterate idiot along with a basic "...

Urgh, just went to post my gratitude to FC for the new release and I notice it's locked. Now here's the thing - I downloaded the release last night (French time), when there were no comments and have been playing it pretty solidly until now. Why didn't I post my thanks straight away? Simply because ...

I wholeheartedly agree, regenerating health is probably the worst feature of modern fps games in general. I think it's just misused - Halo (1) was one of the best FPS games I have ever played and one reason for that was the idea that you had a health bar and a regenerating shield - and your enemies...

Think of Better Than Wolves like you would think of the thief games. To begin with, you will die, mostly because you are not utilising all the tools you have available. You mentioned that you die a lot to creepers at your front door. Because creepers are silent, you have to spot them, which means a ...

Anyways, like I said, I do agree with his general statements that SP gameplay is actually getting worse with time in this genre, just disagree on some of the particulars about how and why that came about. One thing that struck me was his view that "maze" level design was somehow superior ...

and in Space Toad as the right kind of person to head that effort. The moment I stopped believing in forge was when ST backed away from it. I always believed some of the more destructive elements could be managed, their personal goals tolerated and sidelined as the forge gained greater acceptance a...

You'll notice that my personal definition of what constitutes a "good" idea includes the ability and cost to implement. THAT is a crucial aspect of ideas that many people neglect, and being able to produce something good starts at the idea stage in terms of thinking in terms of cost/benef...

One of my personal favourites of recent times is the Thomas was Alone soundtrack, before that, the Journey soundtrack was lodged firmly in my cd player!

Just a quick warning guys, if someone contacts you through the steam BTW group telling you about a free game, the site they will direct you too is a well known phishing site and needless to say, you won't get a free game and your details will get sold to every scumbag in the world.

Do check out the Anno games for a great implementation of many simple systems working together to create a complicated ecosystem - which is fundamentally what I believe you are trying to achieve! Also of great interest to you may be the bombing run Britain performed against Argentina - not getting p...

This game is currently going the same way as every other trading card game I have ever seen in that there is two or three valid builds for each sphere, no sphere has a build which is unbeatable by any other deck. Because of the free-to-play-like trickling of the cards to players it can be weeks befo...

Ha, thats the hard counter to my deck then!

I go through all 50 cards all the time and while I'm not a good card counter I can say for sure that once your last card is drawn, your discard pile is shuffled and a new random draw pile is made - cards do not appear in the same order in which they were discarded and you will only see 3 of any card...

-Removed the step sound from chickens, as that clicking was super annoying.

You are amazing! Thank you!

"Ante" was a brilliant design decision IMO, and I think it was what primarily attracted me to the game to begin with. I've always wondered if they had to remove it due to legal reasons (after all, as the cards developed real-money value, I could see that rule falling afoul of gambling law...

What I really liked about ante was how it acted as somewhat of a self-balancing mechanism. Yes, you could build your deck out of a ton of high-value cards, but that also meant you were risking way more in playing against some poor bastard with just a starter deck. So, people with stronger decks wer...

... Playing like that got me into platinum league in starcraft! I say that maintaining concentration is a skill and if you are better at it than others, then use it against them! As I understand it, defence is more efficient than attack in scrolls but there is likely a hard counter to a deck like y...

This is exactly why I play large biomes (well, one of two reasons anyway) - while yes, the bland uniform expanse of whichever biome you are in is far larger, there is enough space within each biome to find those little gems of variation - a mountain covered in trees in a forest biome or a series of ...

Hehe, magic's always had problems with balance - I've got a card which literally instructs you to flip a coin to determine the game winner! That one was from '95.

Ick. Ok, yeah, that just turned me off completely :) I wonder if developers even realize that there's a certain segment that considers listening to community suggestions as a bad thing. Oh god, I watched TB's video too and was pleasantly surprised but in the back of my mind (probably because I've d...

-Fixed vanilla problem that would cause you to accidentally eat food (or drink potions) twice. Note that as part of this fix, you will only eat one food item per click, so you will not continue to eat if you just hold the mouse button down for longer than it takes to eat one item. Thankyou, thankyo...
