    Chess vs Go

    True, TMA. I was never very good at it. And I never played anyone who was very good at Go. Have any of you played Chinese Chess? You have cannons in this game. http://www.chessvariants.com/xiangqi.html

    In my opinion, Go involves a lot less strategy than chess. I
  4. Three places I want to see: Reykjavik, I think Iceland is cool, especially want to see the geothermal parks. Rome, I want to see the Pantheon and the Vatican. Dover Castle, and maybe a few castles in France.
  5. In the movie, Gandalf. He is the only character who looks exactly as I imagined he would. The books, I liked Aragorn. I am interested in seeing how the movie will portray him in the end.

  7. I have been playing CS and many other mods for Half Life for years now. There was a recent upgrade that vastly improved the models for CS. My friends were awed for a day because the models move their mouth when you speak to people via microphone. I never use the mic so I did not care. CS was made to compete with Rogue Spear, and I think it is the best realistic FPS I have played in a long time. To answer Nav

    Empire Earth

    Sorry, my bad. :) I didn't want to say Microsoft because i wasn't sure they actually did make it. I just had no other way of phrasing my thought. Thanks for the correction.

    Empire Earth

    I thought it was alright, until i discovered Emperor. To me, the 3d graphics of Emperor are a lot better. I'm not much for my marines jumping four feet in the air before they die. And there are a lot of other things that don't make sense. But the gameplay is nice. You have to give kudo's for Microsoft actually creating a balanced game that spans so many epochs. But the odd thing is, if you save some swordsman, they become really powerful once their obsolete (uses them against some of the later epochs intending them to die, and they did surprisingly well) I think it was a good game. Just gets repetitive after a while, and you really can't play all the ages in one sitting (even though technically you can) because of inflation.
  13. I thought both Baldur's Gate I and II were very good. If you like the first one, you have to play the second. The graphics and storyline of BG II truly brought the world of Forgotten Realms to life (I like the game better than the books though). Don't forget Throne of Bhall as well. Probably one of the best expansions I've ever seen to a game. (in my opinion of course)
  14. TMA, are you talking about Cyber Punk? I used to play that game, but now I can't find anyone who knows what it is. I'm a big D&D fan though. My favorite RPG was Shadow Sorcerer. I played that when I was really young, and it got me hooked on computer games. I thought Baldur's Gate I was one of the hardest RPG's I've ever played.
  15. The only problem I have with AMD is they overheat. If you want to overclock, this becomes a major hassle, and is somewhat of a hassle even if your not overclocking.

    Floods!

    Your right Nema, I forgot to take into account the loss of heat reflection by the poles. But then, hotter climate means more cloud cover. To my understanding, Clouds also act as a heat reflector. I figure, if the temperatures rise, and more of the oceans evaporate to compensate for the increased amount of heat, cloud cover should increase as well. As for the expansion of water when it is heated, the evaporation of the oceans should counter this effect. I believe that if global warming was going to increase sea levels, we would have already started to see this effect. As far as I know we haven

    Floods!

    I disagree Edric. I read a science review by a few professors at my college that made some sense. Basically, it explained that the ocean levels will not rise due to the melting of the polar ice caps. Because by the laws of physics, water will displace as much mass as the volume of water that is displaced by the object. In other words, the melting of the polar ice caps will have the same effect on the Earth as ice in a glass of water. If you notice when you

    Star Wars

    1. Empire Strikes Back 2. Return Of The Jedi 3. A New Hope 4. Attack Of The Clones 5. The Phantom Menace I don't like the new Star Wars that much. In fact, after that last movie, I doubt if I will stand in a long line again to watch the next movie. I'll go buy the VCD for 2 bucks instead. I think Lucas has lost his touch on making Star Wars. I mean, lets face it, Attack of the Clones wasn

    Floods!

    The weather here in Hong Kong has been wierd. In the summer, it is very rare to see a day go by without rain. Not only is it not raining this summer, but some days are bright and sunny without a cloud in the sky. This is usually flooding season too.

  25. Check to see what motherboard comes with those systems (it does make a difference). You will also find that AMD chips run hotter than Intel chips, causing serious problems in the long run. Intel chips are better than AMD, but AMD is cheaper. Depending on your climate, AMD might occasionally overheat if you do not have a good box and fans. It
