    Haven't actually played any of the Hellenic factions beside Carthage, though I guess they will be very similar tactics wise, as their entire roster basically just seems to be various kinds of Hoplites.

    It varies tremendously for me, sometimes they will butcher their way through whole armies, other times the first volley takes them out.


    Yeah Cathage has it insanely hard as the various Berber kingdoms tend to gang up on it. Though Rome by contrast usually does insanely well if I don't crush them.

    This must be a blast at indy parties.

    "That's Joe over there. He plays a mean waterphone."
    "Groovy dude. I'm gonna ask him to join my ocarina band."


    How does it compare to the other two?

    How dare you speak of the future Carol Danvers that way.

    I dunno. What did you think of the other two? :p

    It felt like its own thing, though I guess a little more like Pitch Black than Chronicles, at least inasmuch as there were absolutely no overt fantasy elements on display. And, hell, it outright plagiarises Pitch Black for its final third.

    I mean, it's very clear that it's not what they'd have done had Chronicles been the success they'd hoped for but, eh, it was a decent enough follow up. Plenty of different ways they could take the franchise moving forward, if they do.

    Escape from Butcher Bay is still the best Riddick thing out there, though.

    Don't worry. We're not some group of elitists who spend all of our free time spitting on those we perceive as below us. That's just about half of us or so.

    Posting this video for absolutely no reason other than because I happened to see it again today and it made me laugh.

    My internet was down all day yesterday and until 3:00 today. A guy came to fix it, we had just switched to a new internet service to save some money. We also got rid of cable, since we never watch tv anyway.

    I was wondering why we had fewer new threads than usual. :p

    I think the two preceding posts are the perfect representation of Lit's Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome. One moment it's civilized, sipping wine in a fancy armchair by a cozy fire while the finest hat you've ever seen is sitting neatly on a table, the next it's foaming at the mouth and ready to rip your head off.

    For some reason I have the feeling that if I understood that I'd unlock the secrets of the universe.

    Just for the record, I would like to clarify I much prefer the mouth foaming to the wine sipping [face_devil]

    Hey, I already spend enough of my day on a Star Wars forum. I'm not ready to throw my entire soul into the abyss.

    When it comes to Warhammer minis, it's rare that I am in the mood to paint the things, and usually do OK, but tonight, I want to paint, but am having a really hard time getting it to turn out like I want. Blah. The one model I think I am going to try to strip and start over.

    LIARS. I see no familiar faces in EUC. New people scare me. They bring out my natural stabby defense mechanisms.

    Yeh, TOR's desperate for new players at this point. I gave it a spin a while back, and was disappointed. I wanted KotOR in MMO form, not World of Warcraft with lightsabers. I'd rather just play through the original KotORs again.
