  1. Yes I know there are two bosses but before them there are those scorpion bosses and mist bosses together in packs, is this normal with this cm patch and graphic patch that installed or did I something wrong?

     

    Wait. Do you mean the red and green scorpions in the Desert on the main land?

  2. Just played two sessions of Endless Legend in single player as the dragons. Was almost a fun experience.

     

    There are a lot of cool ideas in play compared to Civ 5: the unpredictable winter/summer mechanic, slow global freezing cataclysm, fantasy creatures and locations, the hero bonus mechanic is very polished, you can customize your troop gear, the art is very cool, there are quests to complete for very nice rewards.

     

    The setbacks, at least on the version I played: LOTS OF CRASHING. There is no way you could play this game in multiplayer with this much crashing. There were times the game crashed just from me clicking too early at the end of a turn.

     

    There are no naval battles, and some rare roaming enemies just get stuck at sea.

    There is no steampunk or futuristic tech later in game.

    No early calendar tech to better predict winter earlier.

     

    And the game is boring after the halfway mark – enemies actually value piece, the borders are open by default, and none of the even try to win. No one even tried to stop me when I was going for obvious diplomatic (just trade stuff directly with others) or cultural victories (finish main quest, then spend last 300 turns clicking next turn).

     

    In theory I could easily build a steamroller army that could destroy all other empires one by one.

    Did not even try going for the technological victory - 600 or more turns is not worth my time.

     

    Unfortunately, there is no narrator. The intros to nations have narration, but that is it. The music was appropriate enough, but I would rather hear the narrator for the small "You win" screen. In that way the ends of Civ 5 are better.

     

    But I must admit, that playing this game at least once if fun.

  3. Watched "Chappie" lately, and could not stop criticizing it.

     

    Why is there a running conveyer line powerful enough to manufacture a 1000 robots a day, but a 100 unit purchase is a cause for celebration?

    Why are the no spare parts in bulk in the repair and maintenance hanger? You send the bots into a near war zone.

    Any firmware department needs to have several hardware rigs for software testing. And you don’t need CEO clearance to update those.

    Or just buy a robot! You could try writing it of as a necessary business expense. That thing can’t be more expensive than a new car.

    Why is the security update key universal for all projects? And why doesn’t it have a 24 hour manned surveillance post?

    Emphasis on firmware being impossible to overwrite without manually installing an update key. But you can overwrite all if you shove the key into the antenna.

    Why spend company money and time making an obvious war mech, then only try to sell it to the locale police?

    The entire plot revolves around the battery fused to the body – just unscrew the head and put it on a new body. And when they finally do that they fraked it up by copying/cloning the minds.

     

    I hate when self-proclaimed smart movies epically fail to be smart, and then stupid people phrase how smart the movie is. Ironically, these same great smart movies are never mentioned again years later.

     

    P.S. "Let’s colonize a planet caught in a black hole." :bomb:

     

    But my all time "What were they smoking" ad - Apple computers with their Mac Vs PC ads.. One of their earliest had PC saying the most fun you can have on your PC is playing with spreadsheets..

     

    Always wanted to see the PC be some sort of Start Trek borg. Here is how one would go:

     

    "Hi. I’m Mac"

    "And I’m a PC"

    "What are you doing PC?"

    "The next gen video card arrived. I’m replacing it."

    PC rips out his arm and replaces it with a better one.

    Another Mac walks into the room and shoots the first Mac.

    "Hi. I’m new and improved Mac"

    "And I’m a PC"
