I can think of two other ways

 

HOR-HAY = Jorge

JOUR-GAH = Jorge

 

I'm not joking, they're ways to pronounce it.

It's a REALLY big shaft.

I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.

how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

So... does anyone want to suggest any good games for PC?

I've already played/currently own:

Dawn of War

Rome: Total War

Age of Empires III

Civ 4/5

COD4

TF2

SotS

EUIII

Hearts of Iron III

Fallout New Vegas

Elder scrolls Morrowind

and some other games that I cannot remember

I'm looking for something along the lines of a rts (or turned base strategy game) fps or really anything (though my crappy computer can't really play the high resolution type games)

Ah yes I have Sc2 (well if it will let me play without patching the damned thing). What I was thinking of getting was possibly fallout 3 and Mass effect 2 (among some other games).

Get Victoria 1, its literally $2 on Amazon. Or Victoria 2 if your computer can handle it.

So I get done with all the financials, documentation, and other required numerical crap for the Accounting project. (I hope. The instructions weren't exactly clear.)

I look at the next page of the instruction booklet...

"Design an effective 10 slide+ presentation to convince your classmates to invest in your company."

I then look at the grading rubric, and the presentation is a good third of my grade for the project. And I am HORRIBLE at writing academic literature of any type, and even more horrible at presentations.

 

[hide=Rage]THIS CLASS IS SUPPOSED TO TEACH ME HOW TO BE AN ACCOUNTANT, NOT A COMPANY SALESMAN MY GRADE IS SO SCREWED FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU[/hide]

 

On the plus side, I only have like a week left of school.

Talvisota: Icy Hell

Cultures 2

Cossacks series(Personally not great on my list)

Geneforge 1+2+3+4+5

 

 

Lot of old games but most of them are worth a look....and alot of them are cheap/free and work on old computers(Like my old one which had 1.4 Gigabytes of Memory and double digit RAM...Though it played Civ2 and Exile so I was relatively happy :grin: )

 

Looking at the list...I am fairly well summed up.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

For some reason I do not you play all those games actively.

I rarely have time to play any game as well as Space/Hegemony/Dungeoneering.

Occassionally I find a game to play, like Resident Evil, play it for a week, usually less, and then move on.

I'm using my school computer, yet Fallout: New Vegas seems stable on "low detail". And if you spam the V.A.T.S. enough it becomes practically turn based, though it is a FPS/TPS.

Sc2? As in supreme commander? Epic game.

It's a REALLY big shaft.

I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.

Star Craft 2, I would assume.

(Totally a Craft Virgin, randomly)

 

Supreme Commander sorta died after I played my first five game...Left with a 'Well...this is fun, shields+artillary=Win' OR 'Tankrush=Win'

 

None of the strategy or resource gathering of Red Alert or C&C.

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

Minecraft, Sins of a Solar Empire...

 

Yes, Mass Effect 1 and 2 were both great, so I would heartily recommend them...

 

And Skyrim. Save money for Skyrim so you can buy 11 copies on launch day.

I dunno what Skyrim is, but i'd suggest a few oldies but goodies that i know of.

They include:

Starcraft 1

Evil Genius

Dungeon Keeper I+II

Annndddd... that's pretty much it. I dunno many of the games i have played and it's usually not a big deal for me.

:rolleyes: Mather, you are only part Geek...Full Geeks don't have the massive muscles you always claim to have.

Where as I have a vague geekiness, rather overshadowed by my nonchalance and helpful nature...which moves me out of the general catagories.

I don't have massive muscles, I have visibly trained muscles, I look like a martial artist, not a bodybuilder.

Archi, SupCom is fun. Only the first one, though. My favourite strategy is to make my entire civilization invisible. I play as the Cybrans, and send out quick guerrilla attacks against my enemies, solely targetting military production and high-value targets. :thumbsup:

 

Anyways, you need to play Tyrian Archi. You really, really do.
