I use Vista and play AC.

Prey

AC3 will be simple compared to AC1. They are not going to simply remake AC1 with better graphcs like all the AC1 players hope. It would be stupid to do so. AC1s graphics are not the only thing holding it back, it's just too difficult to figure out and get into. Turbine was on the right track making AC2 easier. An easier game appeals to a larger audiance. Turbine is out to make money not please the measly number of AC1 fans.

Women on dating sits have ridiculously high standards. Most want a six foot tall soldier, doctor, athlete who makes over $100,000 a year.

An ex of mine was registered on Yahoo's dating site. We met in real life, but later she showed me her Yahoo profile. I did not meet any of her requiremets (age, height, income, religion), but she claimed I was more than adequate and admitted she didn't know what she really wanted. Though she might have been lying since the relationship didn't last.

Evasia's prediction is pretty safe. AC2 definetly will not return. There's no reason it would succeed now. It's old, the graphics and gameplay are dated. Most new MMOs barrow from WoW, so there's a good chance AC3 would too.

PK is more balanced now. Mages don't own so easily anymore. Melee and missle weapons had their damage raised a long time ago. Melees also have a shield now that reduces war magic damage.

Bow actually does the most damage now PvM, though war and sword are very close behind.

Turbine tweaked the skill system. Now the skills that cost the most (bow, sword, and war) cause the most damage. The skills the cost the least (dagger, staff) cause the least damage. The other skills are in between based on their cost.

Eve has a no credit card required free trial, which is not the discussion. The poster was referring to requiring a credit card if you purchase the box or download in order to recieve 30 days free. I can't say for certain because I never bought the Eve box or download, but I bet Eve is not an exception to that trend.

Indeed. They need to drop the price of buying the game to $12.95. People who actually buy the game are paying $7 more than they really have to. I made this suggestion on the official forums, but was ignored.

You can get an 8600 GTS for about $60 after rebates online. It would be better than 8400, but not by much. The new ATI HD 4xxx cards are the best for the money at the moment, but you won't find them for $60.

I saw it. It's OK. It's X-Files. This movie is pretty much the same as the TV show. I went in expecting a grander, alien plot. There is nothing to do with aliens in the movie. I'm guessing they went with this plot because of budget limitations.

If you're not a big X-Files fan I see no reason to see it.

Yes. http://trial.ac.turbine.com/

Sounds like the server is down. I don't know for sure, I'm not subscribed at the moment. I'm waiting for the 100 updat to go up before I start again.

You probably need to forward the ports and disable your firewall. Also if your on Vista you have to disable anti-virus.

I'm curious what the original problem was and how you finally solved it?

It wouldn't matter in the Terminator universe. The logic is that you cannot change the future.

This is the Terminator movie I always wanted to see, large battles of humans against machines. The first two had the short clips of the battlefield in the future, which I wish were longer. The end of the last one made me want to see how the military fights back.

It looks ike World in Conflict but controlled by voice commands. I hate World in Conflict. It's a dumb downed RTS.

The game is still updated every month. Next month is a big patch, it is the 100th update. It sounds like it will be one of the biggest updates ever besides the expansions. They are adding a faction system, new loot, new spells, along with the usual new quests and new monsters.

I didn't like the demo. I thought the graphics looked like crap and the combat was so simple.

I don't know why you would want to play FLAC on the go though. You will probably not notice the difference over a pair of headphones. You are greatly reducing the number of files you can store. Also FLAC files will drain the battery faster.

The system could be broke or down. You need to call or email Turbine. AC email support is slow. Don't post on the official AC forums for support from Turbine. They rarely answer.

So, you submit your CD-key. Then it takes you to a screen to enter your CC and create an account. That is where the error occurs? Have you tried using different usernames and email addresses? You are only allowed to use an email address once with Turbine. If you played LotRO, DDO (even the trials) you already have an account. You can log into your existing account and add the AC CD-key. Otherwise you need to create a new account with a different username and different email address.
