Not having played D3, the game this article most reminded me of was Civ4. Losing a 99.9% battle hurt pretty bad. Losing 2 in 10 battles felt like the world was trying to destroy your game. Saw a lot of people complaining about a cheating AI when they got these sort of streaks.

My first item was The Poop. I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

Was primarily Firefox Nightly but lately I have been having some problems with it, especially displaying the escapist and occasionally youtube and I don't know if it's the browser or some addons causing the problems. So I have currently switched back to chrome and have just discovered that it...

At cruising speeds you are not likely to light up the rear axle like that. Does it have an LSD out of curiosity? I imagine it would. Given that it is a manual you won't have any unexpected gear changes which also helps. I think if you were not paying attention you'd be more likely to hit...

I haven't had the chance to drive one so I can't say from personal experience, but generally there is only as much torque available as your right foot allows. Given that it is a turbo car the torque probably comes on really quickly and if you aren't ready for it you could end up in trouble...

I was wondering how long you'd played it for. Is it getting better? I'm downloading it as soon as I'm uncapped, which is in a few hours. I'll be able to give my own take then. Of course, being a Civ game it will probably suck me into a different time dimension until I finish the first game...

"An overall solid turn-based strategy game that suffers from information overload resulting in analysis paralysis for the player" I can't help but feel this criticism only applies to the first few times you play the game. The game is designed to be played repeatedly, as you yourself said you...

Racist or sexist and the words derived thereof. I don't have a problem with the words directly, but the usage of the words that gets to me. It feels like every time I see these words they're being used to describe something as "offensive" to the race or sex in question. That is not what these...

This is true for some pieces, however not everything is a pressed sheet design. The HTC One, for example, is milled from a block of aluminium. I'm sure you are able to recover most of the wasted material but it is additional cost. One other thing I forgot to mention is that when quoting...

There are a couple of other things to consider when judging the costs of the materials in such applications. Aluminium needs to be machined to the desired shape, which takes time, energy and means you get a lot of wastage. Plastic on the other hand has very little wastage. Once you have spent...

Red Alert 2?

Pretty much anything by the orchestral group Two Steps From Hell is absolutely amazing, i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKv_wua6kFE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGyAqbezgZU
