  Hmmm,

  Yep, seems lately that LucasArts had been fumbling the ball with it's "Star Wars" line of products for the PC lately, even their last Indiana Jones and The Infernal Machine was a bit of dissappointment for me.

  Star Wars: Galactic Battle Grounds ( and Clone expansion )

  The game uses the same engine as Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings and plays similar...except for a few tweaks. Air units ( or space units ) like X-Wings, Y-Wings, Tie Fighters etc., even have "snow speeders" have been included and well implimented. It's like a "mod" of Age of Kings. You can play various groups from both era's portrayed in the Star Wars story line. Naboo, Trade Federation, Empire and Rebels, Wookie Civilization..etc. It's pretty fun to match up..say The Trade Federation vs. Darth Vader/Emperor's Empire.

  Single Player:

  I found Starcraft and C&C a bit more "fast paced" imo, and a little bit more enjoyable .. as everytime I went for resources ( if there WERE any ) I had to make it count. As in SW: Galactic Battlegrounds, it seems there is an "abundance" of resources...though you have to manage "some" resource in concert with use the "heavier" equip ( AT-AT, Tanks, Starships) wisely. But "minor" support units are not that much to worry about as per your resources.

  SW: Battlegrounds is catered for the SW fan. It's what a SW RTS was suppose to do, as opposed to that gawd-awfull flop known as "Force Commander". I would say: If you want a SW RTS game, and an enjoyable one, get SW Battlegrounds. Not to mention that it's map editor/creator and scenario editor/creator adds to replay value. ( Comes with, and implimented in the game). It STILL has a strong and plentifull on-line multiplayer community. So in short, It's Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings mod, with a Star Wars theme catered for the SW fans looking for a good SW RTS game.

  If you have a moderate system with a current 3D card and like First Person Shooters (FPS)....Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast seems to be the game that REDEEMS LucasArts current line of "flops". I still cant but the game down, and the multiplayer is OUTSTANDING.

  Spidermonkey,

  Age of Kings 2

  or if that's too real

  Star Wars: Galactic Battlgrounds

  Then there are your First Person Shooters: Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, RETURN to Castle Wolfstein, Medal of Honor (for PC), Serious Sam Second Encounter, Star Trek: Elite Force.....now for older stuff: Half Life, Unreal Tournament.

  It sounds like you are more in to the 4 E's of stragey games though: Expand, Explore, Exploit, and Exterminate.

  You can try Starfleet Command 2. This doesn't deal to much with "resource" gathering, but more of tactical and ship management. Warcraft 3 just came out, and that deals with more in what you find entertaining( like Starcraft )...and is an EXCELLENT, FUN game...both single and multiplayer.

  You should give some WW2 tactical games a try, like Steel Panthers. If you have Cable/DSL, go to:

  http://www.matrixgames.com

  They bought the "rights" to the game and offer it as a FREE download...although I have to warn you, it's a 465MB download. Yes, it's a legitimate site and not Warez or Hacker crap....they offer a variety of miltary strategy games to download for free, as well as sell some of the "newer" stuff.

  Final Fantasy X is an excellent choice. Don't let the name fool you...although it's called Final Fantasy TEN, each game ( I - IX, and various other titles) is a stand alone story and product...meaning that they are not "sequels" nor "prequels" of a linear story ( ex. Like a movie and it's prequels or sequels.)

  There are some linear elements in the various games, but this usually deals with a battle system or creatures that remain consistent thru out the titles. But each game deals with different; stories, worlds, places, times, people, characters, events and such with no direct connection with each other. The moniker FINAL FANTASY is just like a brand name title.

  Dutchie.I STRONGLY advise that you sit down and watch or participate while your son plays Final Fantasy X. Not for supervision purposes, for ENTERTAINMENT purposes! The story line is excellent, so much that my wife ( who never played anything beyond PC solitaire ) was glued to the screen watching me play this game. Its a little difficult at first to understand, which is the purpose of the story, because of the mystery involvedbut the time it wraps up in the end, I will guarantee you will understand the storyand you will be moved to tears.

  Give it a try. todays video games, like Final Fantasy X, have evolved to the point as if you are playing a 20 hr. to 300 hr. movie quality entertainment. . . or novel/book quality entertainment.

  Ive played all the Final Fantasy games, and Final Fantasy X is tied with Final Fantasy VII as being the BEST in the series. On a scale of 1 thru 10I give it a 9.5.

  Are women naturally "Bi" ?

  by refiners fire in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  just a question.

  actually a friend of mine, alex, (who hopefully might read this and commence posting on this board) has been insisting for 20 years that women are naturally bi sexual.

  i laughed at his claims.. but now, looking around here, and based on numerous group chats ive had with women on this site, there seems to be some evidence that his theory is correct.

  Aposate women might learn bisexuality because of their immoral life style, but sisters in the truth are very content with a nice brother.

  I just wanted to show everyone, that I do have some sort of "self control", and I will not respond to this post.

  Secret WTS Social Agenda

  by spaz in

  2. friends

  this is a both a departure from the conventional paleo-hellenic concepts of logic to a primitive yet equally tenable principle of,'actions speaking louder than words', and a synopsis.. the wts is but one of many groups which are devoted to the disintergration of the traditional or biblical family structure, via nefarious means, as part of a greater plan that envisions a two-class new world order resembling feudalism.. .

  the philosophic means to achieve this state is non-biblical.

  the wts repudiates the christian principle of "loving your neighbour as yourself " by adopting an altruistic approach which demands to 'love your neighbour above yourself ".
