I always used cavalry to just harass enemy villagers.

Do you have both of the expansion packs?

I have neither.

It's not as good as Rise of Nations.

I believe that is a matter of opinion my friend. I played and love that game too, but I choose Age of Empires III over it any day.

One adds three Native American tribes and the other adds three Asian nations. I freaking loved it.

Both didn't really interest me, and €20,- is quite some money for a 10-year old.

Neat

Now when will the ACCC go up against American businesses to make them stop excluding Australia from content the rest of the world gets, and to stop the fucking price exploitation that no one in the world has to pay.

Australia is the western country that pirates the most, but we wouldn't pirate iF WE COULD BUY THIS SHIT LEGALLY, and it didn't cost A HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS when Americans only have to pay FIFTY. Not to mention, Australian censorship laws and the fucking nanny state block most of the adult content coming in, and sometimes we have to wait months for new things. I don't watch Game of Thrones, but you know the only way you can view it in Australia is a week after it comes out in America, and only on fucking expensive paid TV?

It's Price Tyranny. END THE PRICE TYRANNY

You seen all the dick comments about it ?

All hail the return to glory of the mighty PC platform that has overtaken consoles in profitability.

This was from a PAX session discussing the state of PC gaming.

I kinda wish I had money to buy stocks (Not that I understand how that kinda thing works) for Tesla before the Model S came out. Their stocks have gone WAY up since then, and we still have 2 cars by them coming out in the next 3 years to raise that even more.

Does that include Apple stocks? If so might want to look at the rate of gradual decline since the honcho died. However it is eavening out slightly in the hundres. But if they release much more shitty products its gonna drop.

I'm not so sure. The spikes in console gaming look like they happen about when a new generation is released. Next year's version of that chart might have consoles back on top.

Agreed. Its a market it fluctuates and everyone has their high and lows. To insinuate this chart would be applicable for any length of time would be to insinuate that beach ball sales spike in a Alaskan Winter.

Yes Krieg general, just sit there in your base as I fight off waves and waves of Imperial Guardsmen.

Thanks for the help.

I know it is really early stage and all, but I'm looking forward to see what Ken Levine does with his new game after Bioshock: Infinite. I don't even know what it will be, but I'm still interested, anyway.

Another random gaming question for you all, What would be your favourite game trailer?

For me it is the Mobius Trailer for Metro:Last Light, I love this trailer, it really brings out the rich atmosphere the metro games have and shows just how desperate and hopeless the situation is for most people. Its got some really powerful scenes with the different people shown in it and is done entirely in one continuous shot with no motion.

Second would be the Deliver Hope trailer for Halo Reach. While not as powerful as the above trailer it too has some really good scenes, and its a nicely done mix of live action and CGI, and the craftsmanship that went into some of the set designs and armour used in this is just phenomenal.

Deliver Hope would be my favorite, closely followed by the "Killing Monsters" trailer from the Witcher 3 (or should I say the Sword of Destiny trailer? Aghh!)

Of course it is

I should also give an honorable mention of Blizzard's cinematic trailers for WoW.

Me and my friend did. Gattling Heavy for the win. But we quit and found other games to play together because we prefer tighter team play.

I used to.

It's one of the few games in the console that supported keyboard and mouse.

I was right when I said the 5960x was 1000USD.

Gragh, I've gotten to like the beginning of the 8th generation of consoles with the games Wii U. I am in the first office with 3 employees (2 plus me) and I can't get above 7 million in cash. I kind of float between 5 million and 7 million. I have had some hit games, but most of them are just good. Like 6/7 out of 10.

So frustrating.

I think I may have moved into the office from the garage too quickly.

I do have over 100k fans though. And my small booths at the G3 convention now gets about 300,000 people.
