    Firaxis Explains Why XCOM 2 Had to be PC Exclusive

    A new PS4 from JB Hifi comes in at $549. Using http://www.msy.com.au/ as they tend to be cheap, and using the Pascoe Vale store as it's the closest to me. http://i.imgur.com/WVvPIAV.jpg + throw in a cheap CPU fan and you're set.

    Looking for a specific type of anime.

    I'd throw a suggestion out there for Steins;Gate. Admittedly, I've only played through the visual novel version, but the Anime itself was extremely well received and definitely hits quite a few of your requirements.

    Medieval II Total War strategy help

    The only thing I can think of that'd make that happen would be that the enemy was fighting to the death -- it happens when units are completely surrounded and run out of morale. The easy way to stop this happening is to only hit the flanks on enemies, and to leave them a way out. I can't...

    Medieval II Total War strategy help

    Trade is the main way you'll make money. Build roads, ports, and any buildings that increase trade goods whilst sending out diplomats to get trade rights with as many factions as you can. Converting castles that aren't needed (i.e.: ones in the centre of your empire once you've expanded a bit)...

    Evolution Board Game Laps Kickstarter Goal In 24 Hours

    Assuming you mean: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/71021/evolution-the-origin-of-species By all looks it is literally a licensed board game version of that. So it's not quite a knock off. See: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/155703/evolution Plus this quote from the Kickstarter:

    Good vehicle construction games for the PC?

    Huh, the only thing that really springs to mind is Lego Racers - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Racers_(video_game) It probably meets what you're looking for.

    EVE Online. I want it to be my favourite game in the universe. But......

    That's not exactly true. http://themittani.com/news/titan-baited-and-killed-syndicate My corp is V3.R. We're a small corp (140 members, definitely no more than 20-25 actual active pilots) with no alliance that live in the ass end of Syndicate. One of the guys with us that night was in our...

    EVE Online. I want it to be my favourite game in the universe. But......

    Basically what KarmaTheAlligator said. Don't try to play EVE alone; you'll get bored and you'll give up very quickly. Your best bet is to hassle any friends you have and get them to play with you. Alternatively you could skill straight to PvP (you really don't need much more than a few...

    Wonder Trade

    Well, this thread inspired me to trade off a random Kadabra I had in my box. In return I got a level 49 Ditto. So I guess I'll be breeding many Fennekin over the next few days.

    One of a kind EVE ship gets blown up in 700 billion isk backstab

    I'm not a bad person, honest! This is also a nice write up about this event: http://themittani.com/features/first-degree-awox-premeditated-murder

    One of a kind EVE ship gets blown up in 700 billion isk backstab

    There's no real significance. Pandemic Legion got out meta-gamed, and lost a few super carriers including one giant space turd. Seriously, look at it: You can buy game time codes (like the prepaid game cards for WoW) for $15-$20 which will give 30 days. You can turn these into in-game...

    Poll: Which one to buy? 3DS or 3DS XL?

    I'd recommend the XL purely because of this: The increased size as well as the improved battery life is what made me get an XL over a normal 3DS.

    Poll: Fire Emblem: Awakening - Which difficulty do you play on?

    I was new to Fire Emblem (I've only played one other similar game previously) so I chose Hard-Classic. After about Chapter 10 or so I regretted not starting on Lunatic straight off the bat. I'm at about Chapter 12 on Lunatic and looking forwards to Lunatic Plus now. If a game isn't making...

    Painkiller Dev Can't See The Benefit of PS4 Over Gaming PC

    This should probably be a post bemoaning all the interviewers who ask the interviewees these questions.

    Largest Telescope in History of Time Goes Live

    This is an array of radio telescopes. Launching all 66 telescopes into space would be extremely expensive for very minimal benefit.
