Total War Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai is out on Friday. Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong title, Gatling guns, artillery, monitors and other ironclads, railroads and assorted fun. Should be good.

sigh.....need to build a computer soon. But i've been good. Paying back Karma for my recent good fortune job wise. Bills almost paid off in full. Still getting by with a weezing Macbook Pro and my faithful Pentium 4 Win98 Box. Playing "Blood" again. Such a classic!

oh it does.....but at least I didn't pay the outrageous fee for it. I reclaimed it from my X....who was borrowing it from a friend of mine anyways. I've spiced it up by running 3 to 4 O/S's on it.....(the fourth keeps breaking it but i'm working on it) A macBook running Ubuntu really messes with the Mac crowd.

And don't be dissing my P4. My P4 ROCKS! Recently had to replace the nVidea series 6 card via EBay. Now its a power system again......well power for games like Doom.....System Shock 2, Blood and Serious Sam.

My Macbook is good enough to run AE. If i can get the bastard reinstalled that is!

I played "Total War: Shogun" for days and days when it was released years ago... after that the next games in the series didn't catch my attention as much as the first Shogun one...

DO you have them all Kristian?

Yep, every last one. Shogun 2 is excellent, the first expansion Rise of the Samurai slightly less so, and Fall of the Samurai (stand-alone expansion, BTW) looks very good.

Especially excited about the switch from sail to steam in the naval combat. Oh, and there are torpedoes. Judging by some of the design videos I've seen, they might be a bit overpowered, but I shall withhold judgement until I've played with them.

Newest Chinese scumbot just joined us. Sometimes their posts are vaguely syntactically correct, but this one is just a collection of individual words jumbled together.
Kind of like many of the posts on THE THREAD!!! How ever did you tell it was a spambot. Erm, a spambot other than one of the usual spambots, I mean? [:'(]

G'morning you lot.

That's why I called it a scumbot rather than a spambot, like you or Onime.

Thanks for info Kristian! [:)]

BTW, is there a plan for Rome Total War II perhaps?

Also, with all the new ships in Fall of the Samurai, I hope the AI does a better job than in Empire, where the naval combat is R-E-T-A-R-D-E-D.

I've had enough of passively ignoring Stormpuppy's trolling. It's time to call him on it.

Oh dear. I think you caught whatever Steve once had. [:D]

It was just a 24 hour bug. [:D]

I had some rum punch last night, and I'm good now. [8D]
