Greetings Lass! It would relieve me greatly to know that your campaign to get Rome Total War up and playing was a success!

I cancel out your vote for Bill with another vote for Kuniworth friend! No offense to Bill of course! I'm sure he is a fantastic member of this community!

Seanachai, it is clear to me that you are indeed Chief of this wonderful Tribe of colorful posters. As Chief it is your duty to sign this peace treaty that I am proposing. Shall together we smoke'm the peace pipe?

Okay, addressing me as 'Mr. Achai', given that 'Seanachai' is as much a title as a name, was dim, but within the realm of 'well intentioned stupidity', but 'Mr. Rad', where a clear 'first name' and 'last name' are present is simply a rather poor attempt at smirking arseholery. I see that the 'Gaylord Wannabe' (man, talk about a lack of ambition!) has made his way here. Kwazy assures us that 'Tim' doesn't share the same IP as 'Gaylord'. At this point, my assumption is that Gaylord's family moved to another State. Possibly because even moving him to another school district didn't stop the name calling and abuse. Whether he is, or he isn't, I see no reason to repeat past mistakes, and without demur I say 'Coventry'. I anticipate no cry of outrage. See, Joe? Even my anti-Elitist, egalitarian, near anarchistic tendencies have a limit. </font>

Mr.Rad; why you would edit your simple no reply to add in a vague sentence about sod truly perplexes me lad.

Well surely one of the other fine members of the BFC community who happens to post here would be of service! Would one of you lads or lasses please answer the tough questions that the good Mr.Rad insists on dodging?

Mr.Rad! Would you please answer my question good sir?

Being new here I'm sure there are many valid candidates. My vote must go to Kuniworth, he is a helpful member and a staple of the community. JerseyJohn should be on the ticket as Kuni's running mate!

That sounds like bribery lad! I have another query for you my good sir, why is their such an importance on an e-mail adress being displayed? Do you work for a Spam Company?

Could one of you good lads or lasses please answer my querry? My thanks in advance friends!

I lost an idiot recently - have you seen him at your meetings? If so, please tell him he's an idiot for me. </font>

Greetings friends! What is the Peng Challenge Thread? It's obviously not used as a tool for garnering the attention of others, but it's not your GrandDragon's oldsmobile either. Is it like one of those make beleive inside profound artistic displays like when that silly ole chap Mick Jagger was straddling the inflatable penis on stage? I am merely asking mind you, having read others explanations, but none of them seem to really agree on much. In this thread I sense that you all agree on much, so what better place to ask is there friends?

Check out some offerings from Alienware or Voodoo , they make laptops specialized in gamming - they won't crash. If I could personaly find a use for a laptop I would buy one, but I really have no need to buy one at this time, they are cool though!

At the same time I must say that Combat Mission is a fun series of games as well, the best in fact for a PC in my opinion if you lean more towards the tactical realm of things. I enjoy both SC and Combat Mission. I also look forward with much anticipation to SC2, and the next Combat Mission game. To each there own I say.

Before you get too comfy know this, I was born a Catholic and I am here to both tempt and corrupt you Brother Rambo! Have at thee good Sir!

I agree Rambo! Everyone is there own person, tis a shame most of them are too afraid to be themselves, and then perhaps even improve upon themselves.

I made a mistake in saying the 6800GT requires a 380w power supply, it requires a 350 watt minimum. I think the card is fantastic, I even get fog back for CM. Remember, don't skimp on the power supply to save a few bucks, not all are equal. I would take a quality 350 watt over a crappy 400 something watt power supply any day. Antec for instance makes good power supplies, I have a silent 380 watt Antec that runs great.

OK guys, this thread has run it's course; locking this one up because Jersey John posted here.

Destructable infrastructure, telephone poles, street cars,wagons, fruit stands, you name it. I think it would really add to the immersion factor and it would make misses alot more entertaining. It was something that worked great in X-Com APOC.

In related news I ordered an Nvidia 6800Gt and am expecting it soon.

RedWolf, the Geforce 6800 gt would fit in the mobo, the problem would be that the 6800gt requires a 380 watt power supply. It would not be overkill either, it would be over spending as a 1 gig cpu with I assume his PC is equiped with limited sdram combined with a lower rated front side bus/ dated chipset means that the CPU would not have the computing power to feed the card all the instructions it is demanding, so in essence his whole PC would be a bottleneck for that particular videocard.

I have but one thing to add here, you have options. Very Cool Web Site

I understand the "when it's completed" mantra and agree whole heartedly with it, but roughly when is this title due out, 2004, 2005? I ask because SC2 looks to be a fun game, and it apears SC already has a good group of gamers built around it. Want to see something funny? Cheers! ( I'm a 'Merican, does'nt it look extra silly acting all unrefined European like?)

As far as I could tell it did not apear to be in game as well, but thought I would ask. Let's hope it's not omitted from the next one!

If you are going for an Nvidia Geforce 4 series of cards, the Ti4200 is far cheaper and benchmarks pretty close to the others and is over clocking friendly though do so at your own risk if at all as it voids warranty. I'm running an ATI 9700 pro and it's fantastic though dated at this point. ATI will not disply fog in Combat Mission, but but 9700pro has better over all image quality than the last gen Nvidia cards. The new cards are pretty close but the edge goes to Nvidia, though the 6800 ultra takes up two slots. If all you play is Combat Mission, the Geforce 4 ti series will be fine.
