    Games on unexpected systems

    Just for the record, C&C RA3 is also on the 360, and it's not bad, it's no PC RTS but they've managed to get most of the complex commands in using the controller and it works fairly well IMO. More OT: I actually can't think of any other than RTSs on consoles... actually that CoD game on the...

    LIMBO error

    My friend bought me LIMBO through Steam as a Christmas Present, and the first time I tried to run it (today), It loads up, says 'Press Any Key', so I do, the screen goes black, then it closes and a dialog box with 'Zlib inflate failed (-3) - try to delete derived folder' pops up. Any idea how to...

    Running Amnesia on an Integrated Chip

    That's what I wanted to know, it's not the performance issue, it's whether the game supports said integrated GPU and wondered if anyone had any experience with an ATI or Nvidia integrated chip that did work with Amnesia.

    Running Amnesia on an Integrated Chip

    OK, I'm considering getting a new laptop, because, quite frankly, mine is horrific for gaming and while I know laptops aren't amazing for gaming, I'm not looking to run really high-end games, just things like League of Legends and Amnesia: The Dark Descent. The problem is, as you probably know...

    On Lyrics

    It may be cynical, but it all seems wrong Pendulum - The Fountain It's a rather deep line for a drum and bass song and the song itself is pretty darn good :D

    Drunken Condom-Flicking Mars U.K. Games Awards

    Awesome, you live in Huddersfield. Same :D (sorry, but finding people who live that close to you is pretty amazing) OT: From what I can tell, it's a lot like Gamestop I think? in that it sells MAINLY used games with a few new ones except it mainly operates in Northern England.

    Your favorite jewel of Real Time Strategy Game

    Imperium Galactica 2 - it's old as hell but it's like Civ in Space but with real-time ground and space battles - totally love it :D

    Poll: [Origin] How many of us have folded?

    Meh, I got Burnout Paradise free with Origin/EADM and I preordered the Origin (Digital Deluxe) version of TOR yesterday instead of the normal one because of bonus shiz so, yeah, you could say it's not that I 'folded', it's more I just want to use it :S Just because we're all Escapist forum...

    What's strange about *your* language?

    I'm English but that'll have been done to death by now so my language is now Klingon... *dealwithit.jpg* It's a language of fearsome warriors but completely and utterly spoken by people who could never claim that title :P

    Poll: Who's better at comedy? Brits or Americans?

    TBH I would say Brits but that's only because if British so im sort of biased, however British and American comedy is different enough that neither nation 'gets' the other nation's comedy so, if we're being fair, its probably both equally, or maybe slightly on the side of the Brits (we used to...

    To all the British Escapists

    I would say it is imporant (being British) but now that I think about it, I don't know why :S Maybe it's because that's when you're most likely out of education (3 year uni course)

    Double Standards, anyone?

    Oh no, another one of these threads... it's not that I don't like the threads it's just I get REALLY annoyed over them because I have this thing about equal rights where I will literally argue somebody to the death if they go anti-either side (seriously though, I don't mind jokes obviously)

    You feelings on fake difficulty?

    Seriously dude, I think every modern video game does this, well everyone I have played on a harder difficulty anyways. To be honest, it REALLY annoys me, in the middle of, say, Mass Effect 2 on Insane and I'm about to be overrun by Husks that are tuned up crazily and my shields and health are...

    Poll: What is your stance on weapons?

    My stance on weapons? Battle for big weapons, Berserker for dual wielding and Defensive if I'm using a shield... *awkward silence...* OT: Meh It's illegal to carry anything in Britain (not that it stops people) so I don't carry anything but regardless, my view is still that you shouldn't...

    Why do guys seem to hate Quiche?

    God damn you guys I'm sat here starving and I basically can't have any food and you guys start talking about quiche :(. Seriously though, quiche is awesome, regardless of whether it's hot or cold and is totally manly, especially if it has bits of pig in it (see: bacon/ham). I think people see it...
