is it true that you can only build certain things if you playt with other people? If that is the case, I am going to pass. There's nothing that's explicitly blocked, but there are certain buildings that have requirements (usually enhancements made to your City Hall) that can be met by other players in your region. For instance, to be able to build a more advanced water pump someone in your region has to have a Department of Utilities. If you're playing alone, that person has to be you, which means you need to make sure your city is laid out in such a way where adding that on to your city hall isn't too destructive.

Probably because they fixed the RROD. So people aren't buying new a new xbox every couple years. Lol Because Sony's consoles have always been problem free. Also, Microsoft gave 360 owners an absurdly great warranty on RRODs. If someone bought a new console because one red-ringed, that was their own fault.

Many people don't know what truth means.

No way I am going back to Dell, have had a Dell for the past 10 years and MOSTLY have been okay but a lot of glitches. Mind you I run them into the ground, but I want to try something new, and being a grown up and all Id want a computer to last me so thats why I am leaning on a MAC Macs are excellent computers. You'll want to make sure you're OK with paying $30 a year to upgrade the software, since Apple is quite strict about not supporting old versions, but a good Macbook/iMac can last as a good computer for a few years without showing its age. Granted, a well-cared-for PC can do the same, but a Mac requires less effort on your part to keep running like new.

Windows 8 is fine. I've been running it on all of my PCs since the Release Preview. It's not something you should seek out because most of its changes aren't necessary (which is probably its biggest "bug"), but it's not "absolute garbage." I would say if the Toshiba you're looking at has a touch screen, then Windows 8 may be a plus. The new interface is very well-suited to touch, and the old parts of Windows obviously still work great with a keyboard and mouse.
When it comes between whether or not you want to get a Mac, there are more decisions you need to make. Virtually any software you've purchased for any Windows machines you've owned will obviously not run on OSX. If playing games on your computer is a factor, you'll probably want to avoid OSX. Their library of games has gotten better, but Windows still has a greater selection of better games.
I use a Mac at work and all of my personal computers are PCs with Windows 8, so if you have any questions to compare and contrast the two, I'd be happy to answer them.

The thing that is most exciting out this is, if this thing does take off, and you are able to purchase games for the same prices as a regular pc gamers would pay for through the steam deals, this could cause other platforms to lower the prices of their games in order to compete. Not to mention, online gaming will be much better. Except that, with the exception of Steam's seasonal sales, most new games don't go on sale. And when they're not on sale, they're the same price as games on console. Not to mention that they wouldn't have to lower the base price on games to compete, they'd simply need to compete on crazy sales in the winter and summer.

I love the shield. Does the same thing for me that I always loved about Armor Lock: break the enemy's flow.

The aim assist in this game is heavy and the hit detection is quite large. I mean if you even are anywhere near the head then the game gives you a headshot with the sniper. Are you basing that off your own performance or killcams? I think the Killcams are heavily flawed (they definitely seem to show the kill from your system thinks happened as opposed to what the Host or Killing Player thinks happened).

I didnt pre order this like I usually do, but does anyone think it will be sold out on Wednesday or any day this week after launch? There are always copies when I go in to get my pre orders anyways Unless you're looking to get the Collector's Edition (which apparently is actually limited this time), you should be fine.

Unless it's an amazing laptop, you probably shouldn't be doing 1080p video. no, Im trying to join few 1080p videos in one What's the resolution of the composition you're making? Like, when you created the new project in Vegas, what resolution did you choose?

1) How recent is the computer? Is it a laptop? 2) What resolution is your animation? 3) Also, do this:

- I've become far more discerning of my gameplay time. That's as much a result of my diminishing free time as anything else. - I got REALLY into turn-based strategy games like Civilization. That's largely a result of Civilization Revolution and Anthony Gallegos. - I now have zero patience for unfairly difficult games/difficulty levels. If it's difficult because I'm not playing well and I can tell I'm getting better at it, that's fine. However, if it's difficult because the enemies have more health, are more accurate than the game lets me, it. - I'm far more interested in experiencing a game than being challenged by it. - I've finally found a couple turn-based RPGs I like (mostly the Penny Arcade games) - I'm scared for Bioware. Their last few games have only been pretty good, but they haven't had an amazing game since ME2, 3 games ago. - I'm concerned that the prices for downloadable games and content are raising faster than the quality and scale of the game/content is growing. I'm certainly not adverse to paying for stuff, but there haven't been very many XBLA games that cost $15 that I'd say are actually worth that price. - Sequels are OK, but yearly sequels are the best way for me to get burned out on a franchise or concept (see: Guitar Hero, modern military shooters). Of course, I say this and yet there has been a new Halo game every year since 2009 and I've managed to keep interest in it. I'd argue that the games have differed enough to make that work (Halo Wars and ODST are very different from standard Halo experiences and HCEA was a remake) - Like at the wind-down for the last generation, I've gotten back into heavily playing PC games. - I'm done buying Nintendo systems. I've played Wii games less than any system I've ever owned. I appreciate that Nintendo first-party games are good, but they're not for me. - I want more franchises to start doing what was done in Mass Effect, where actions are reflected throughout the series. - I want Fable to become great again. - I want Kinect to become more than a neat gimmick. It has a lot of uses to allow for better navigation/control in games and the dashboard, and it being tacked on 4 years after the 360's launch has made it difficult for developers (both internally and 3rd party) to do anything meaningful. If Kinect isn't bundled in with the next Xbox (if not somehow part of the device), it's dead as a gaming accessory.

I'm gonna give it a go but I've heard that it isn't too good. I enjoyed it up to a point, when it became very much like other MMOs. However, that took like 30 hours, and 30 hours of fun is pretty acceptable especially when it ends up being free.
