Need mirrors!!!! Too many refreshing monkey whores on this forum trying to download the movies.

It's nice to see that some things never change.

Err... any chance of reducing the size of that picture so that it doesn't take up approximately the same area as my DESK??

I had no problem finding the quit button. Maybe you should go back to computer school sandy

It's a laptop. 128 meg Radeon x700 1.6Ghz Pentium M 1 Gig RAM 80Gig HD Omega 3.8.221 drivers I just recently formated so my comp is running pretty well. I was running my comp at 1400x1050 with most most of the boxes checked.

Well I tried it tonight and it bogged my machine all to hell. Completely unplayable. Yes I most of the settings turned up but I have all the settings turned up for RO and it runs smooth as silk.

If it's off topic then why don't you post it in the General Forum so everyone can enjoy it?

I have done more for the sc community than any of you guys. So that why you now shall give me a complete eastern front scenario with historical OOB and other realistic stuff. </font>

I do, but then I'm a cynical bastard and a casual player at best

Ouch! $45 is a lot more than I paid for the first one

No wait it's not too late! Let's destroy two years of development because some forum n00b says so!

So you're saying that the game won't be out in December then?? Or are pre-orders already being accepted and I haven't noticed?

If I format completely is there a chance it might solve the problem? Because I was going to format anyways.

F***!!!

Can anyone shed a little light as to what Test Error Code 08 means? And it's a Japanese laptop bought in Japan and still in Japan. I'm just hoping I can explain the problem. My normal Japanese, never mind my "techie" Japanese is not up to scratch.

Ok this is what I got. IT's a western digital.

Woah woah woah...so I'm still screwed? I thought I dodged a bullet. There's no hope for my little HD? It's a laptop hD (not sure what kind) and I just bought my laptop a month and a half ago. I'm in Japan and I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna be able to take it back and explain that I want a new HD when this one seems to be working fine.

That's actually de rigeur in Canada. I have no idea what 78 degrees Fahrenheit is, but also no idea how much I weigh in kilograms (can't be bothered to divide by 2.2). I was lucky to be brought up with the metric system in school, but still measure my waist and height in inches. </font>

It seems just fine now which I don't understand. So this morning I'm getting dressed and suddenly my computer starts making a strange sound. I can't really reproduce it, but I'm sure you know the sounds when your hard drive seems to be working a lot harder than it's supposed to be. Throw in some "clicking" and you've got it. Anyways so I go over to it and move the mouse because it's in the power saving mode. When the screen comes up all I see is a blue screen (which I think had text on it but I only saw it for a blink of a second) and then suddenly the comp restarts all by itself. So I'm like oh noes, this can't be good. And then so after the initial boot up information screen it goes to a different screen and says something like "disk failure." It's seems like it's testing something and then it switches to a new screen and one of the messages says "Operating System not Found". Of course I'm like, "OH ****!!! (no, not "oh noes!!") I tried to restart a couple times and just got the same message. So i turned the computer off and left it because i had to go to work. When I got home I was already to take the HD out and take it back to get it fixed but when I tried to boot up, the computer booted up as if nothing had ever happened!! Does anybody have any idea why this happened (or what exactly did happen?) The only thing I can think that may have triggered it was earlier this morning I dumped heaps of files. We're talking GIGABYTES here. Movies, iso's etc etc. Like maybe 10 or 12 gigs. Could that have set something off? I have no idea but I just dont want it to happen again. I'm hoping that it isn't a physical problem or something that just can't be rectified with a simple reformat.

LOL! They look like the biggest knobs in those shirts (my apologies to any GW employees.)

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Are you asking for a CM table top game a la Warhammer 40k? Or are you asking them to make a Warhammer computer game using the CMx2 engine? I would urge anybody against licensing anything to Games Work shop. That is unless you want your game broken down into a hundred different modules which they will then proceed to sell to you for the small fare of ONE BIIIILION DOLLARS! (queue Dr. Evil voice)

MD the Red Badge of Courage was not a war but a movie. I'm not sure how you can make a connection that because there was no swearing in a 1950's movie there was also no swearing in the Civil War. It's one of those "the medium is the message" sort of things. I wasn't around at the time but I'm fairly confident that there was no swearing in 1950's entertainment at all, never mind in a war film. Heck what show was it that showed married couples sleeping in seperate beds? Did all married couples really sleep in seperate beds back then? Each generation applies it's own values to history. Compare an early John Wayne war movie to Saving Private Ryan. Same war but remarkably different vocabulary. The only thing that has changed is our acceptance of swearing in a public medium (although these days in America sometimes I wonder). I did a search for **** on Dictionary.com and according to it, the term is actually quite old. I find it difficult to believe that soldiers of any era didn't sprinkle it liberally in their conversations.

Jeez you guys are too one-track mindded. I thought this was going to be a question about how to take screenshots with the new CMx2 engine.

If PBEM is left out, which I seriously doubt it will be, I'm sure it will be for a technical reason that makes it impossible and not because the larger audience doesn't play PBEM. So there's basically nothing we can do but wait. I consider myself fairly "hardcore" (i peruse this site all the time and post a little less often.) But I am one of those people who don't play PBEM. Why? Well for one thing I don't have the patience for games that stretch out over weeks. Playing against the AI allows me to both, take all the time I want and at the same time play as much as I want. Also while I would enjoy a battle of wits against a human opponent, I really only enjoy that when I'm playing against my friends (bragging rights) and since none of my friends play the game im not really interested. Don't get me wrong-I hope to God they include it and if they don't I won't consider it a complete game.

I'm sure they've probably taken into account the number of total sales and compared it to the number of people registered on this forum. I'm just guessing but I'd say 20% would be an extremely generous percentage as to how many registered members play PBEM on a regular basis. Then compare that to the total number of units sold and you can see how they could possibly think that PBEM is not such a big of a factor as some of us might thing. (Not that it would be a good thing to take it out. I'm sure they will probably end up keeping it.) Will file saves really be that much bigger? Yes of course the graphics are much better but all that should be client based-only the calculations should have to be transmitted and there can't be that many more than with CMBO. Or am I totally wrong here? Maybe Steve has already stated otherwise and I missed it.
