mine won't install properly

its not... I was always "good" and it didn't care that I beat the last level by hurling super fire balls into Nemesis' cities... I just had to heal my own citizens afterward.

no, its just something about black hawk down, I mean it wasn't that long ago. I personally have never gotten any vietnam games since my dad was involved in it. and... "oh come on, don't act so...offended"

i think some game developers have numbed themselves into thinking that a game where key features listed on the back of the box include "drag injured allies to safety" and "avoid machine gun fire" or whatever are okay. Its one thing to make a game, even if you are killing people and another to base it on real events that did not happen very long ago. If I was a war vet, maybe involved in the "black hawk down" incident I would have to say that I would be pissed walking around fred meyer and seeing a game that allowed people to play through my horrible, life altering experiences. My two cents.

*loved it!* "Everyone's got AIDS!" From the secret agent scoping out a broadway actor for recruiting to the sex, star wars cantina and...uh all the rest of it this movie spoofed in all the right ways. My friend and I were spazzing out in the back of the Valley (burned out theater that nobody goes to) Although I did not 'get' or see any connection with the "MAAAT DAMON!!!" it was funny as hell.

Why not just play A New Power? It doesn't cost anything either... but heh, my servers are down for months at a time on that one. by the way, how much does Arcangel cost a month?

When boggie opened his eyes his brother was still sucking on him... "Get off you weirdo!" he cried before removing the ketchup packet he had been storing inside himself. Soggie backed off immediately, fleeing the scene in a frantic quest for tomato, and tomato based products. Just then a shadow crept along the ground, looking up in the midst of battle they all saw it... giant, blocking out all sunlgiht... the object was

hey, thanks... none of the civs i've conqoured are available for me, but thats okay because i was planning on beating it with julii beforehand anyway. Have you seen naval deployment as a major threat, because i know i can gaurd the land route into my terretory but my navy is almost zero. So will they use ships to move armies very much?

so do you have to beat the game with one of the roman factions before you can play as another civilization? right now I am playing as Julii, and have conquored the gauls, spanish, carthaginians (with some help from scipii) and am fighting over the far north with the britanians. any tips on how to get more popular support, i do as many of their missions as i can but i was wondering if their were other things i could do. hehe, I already have a fort garrisoned with a lot of soldiers just outside of rome....waiting for the right moment.

I recomend the Area 51 books which I have read all of, it covers that theory in a very different and original way... btw who else has read those books and what do you think of its veiws as far as alien involvment in human history and the nature of our species and theirs.

I am one of those christians who is very faithful in his religeon, yet never goes to church.... I am 13, and have been very interested in leanring as much as i can about my religeon... but I am confortable speaking from a purely scientific veiw If the universe was created suddenly, whether this was its first or second or billionth time (closed universe theory) and eventually the planets were formed, roughly the same time i would imagine, also I think the elements would be evenly distributed throughout the universe if it was suddenly formed by a "big bang" scenerio. So if there was life, maybe on the other side of the universe, it would have been created, sparked and evolved about the same time and rate as us. I think it would have taken no longer for single cellualr organisims to evolve into more complex organisms here than on the other side of the universe if that is true, and therefore the rest of evolution would continue at still about the same rate. If there are other 'intelligent' lifeforms in the galaxy wouldn't they be at the same evolutionary stage as we are, or within a few hundred years give or take? I strongly beleive that there are other lifeforms out there, but even if there were I do not beleive we would make contact with them until both our races are technologically advanced to a high enough level to travel through large areas of space, maybe meeting somewhere in the middle of Earth and whatever planet they evolved on. Of course there are thousands of variables that would effect the course of evolution, so the space between us may very well be a thousand years if not more, but that could be less advanced than us or more advanced. Imagine the universe as a circular object, which it is if the big bang is true and I think it was proven anyway... but if we were somewhere on one side and a second intelligent life form at the other side and each race is advancing relativly steadily at about the same rate as the other. From the home planet they and we begin expanding outward, radially... depending on the technological and evolutionary level the two would meet somewhere in the middle, unless one race was far more advanced, then the meeting place would be closer to the more primitive planet. If we were the more primitive planet (assuming my theory is completely wrong) then the more advanced race would be slowely apraocing us as they explore (radially) from their own planet. Or maybe they have already found us, maybe through advanced science they were to pinpoint another planet capable of life so they went straight to us... our own sciences are not to far from that, we have guesses on which stars may have planets able to support life. But either way if another or multiple alien races exist it is only a matter of time until we meet, or maybe we already have. It is litterally a ticking eggtimer until our races meet somewhere in the middle. slightly off topic i know but it is an important part of the topic.

I am sorry to interupt this, but I must anounce that I am leaving the snow-arena thread. *looks around seeing to his surprise that nobody really cares, or even notices* hmphhh. anyway, I think many of you relaize why I left the arena. so I do not need to explain that. I have set up an RPG in the wilderness forums that some people may find fun if you liked the snow arena. It has a background, but is set up to be completly open-ended, as long as the setting is not altered and the rules are followed. *oops just took away the open-endedness* but really check it out, A New Power is it's name. I hope that eventually enough people join to make it as fun as the Snow Arena was, up to about page forty something. any moderator please tell me if that post was high-jacking, I don't think it was but I will be happy to edit or remove it. thanks.

three strange creatures dragged the motionless body of Rudy down their crude tunnel, they emerged into a long cavern. A red glow was all around them, seemed to be coming from space itself. Rudy awoke to fid himself in this cave, he was lieing on stone surface, then he realized- it was an alter. Dried blood was crusted all over it's surface...

After consideration and mental dabate Rudy makes the decision to contact an old allie, Shin I have discovered a buried city, it seems that there are many unused resources and...stuff. I have stumbled across a substance I do not recognize, It is glowing, metal like and is very heavy. My calculations show it has a mass of 100 grams per cubic inch. It puzzles me, some energy is being emitted from it- what the hell is that- Shin! Shin! I am under attack! May Day! May Day! *Gunfire and screaming* HELP!!!!!!

Rudy's ship plunged into the water without a problem. It even went as well as it did in space. It came to an opening in the rock at about 3000 feet, wich surprised Rudy. The ship could fit through it so it silently glided through. The tunnel went deep into the planet, and eventually there was no water. The tunnel left the deep and became dry. Ahead the tunnel was smaller so Rudy landed the ship and set out in a land rover. It rolled quickly on the ice, sliding slightly. Suddenly the small tunnel opened up into a humongus cavern it was a buried city, left in ruins.
