Re: Worth moving on to SE5 from SE4?

I'd say V is well worth buying, and I play exclusively solo as well.

I've yet to go back to play SEIV since I bought V, although I probably will do so at some point - just like I went back to...

Re: SE5 bad reviews and problems.

I hesitate to comment without having played V all that much yet, but....I recall the transition between III and IV taking me about 6-8 months before I really felt comfy with IV. I had ALOT of issues...

Re: OT: Climbing System Requirements and Specs

The problem I have with a couple of my older games (that I still enjoy playing) is that my system is too FAST. I only play a couple of "modern" games released in the last year or two. A friend of...

Re: BSG Predictions

Favorite character -- Baltar. You just don't know what he's going to do next. The guy playing him is doing a great job.

Leaast favorite -- Tigh. He's just an ***. By design naturally, but...

Re: What is your SHIP\'s name?

Well, if it's the first, it should be Explorer.

Galactica could be cool though too.

Re: Any One Going To Go See Serenity?

I have to agree with Atrocities -- it is much better the second time around. Raise my score to a 9 1/2 out of 10. Lord of War didn't interest me either, although Into the Blue might -- the thought...

Re: Any One Going To Go See Serenity?

Saw it Sunday and enjoyed it, but was let down a little after I saw reviews comparing it to the original Star Wars by people who should know better. 8 1/2 out of 10 here, going again tonight with a...

Re: OT: James Doohan

What is poignant for me is how little I knew about him.

Re: What is the etymology of your moniker?

Hmmm, interesting question. Back in the dark ages of my role-playing days (the original D & D, not advanced D & D), my first character was a fighter named Ragnar.

Re: Why use Colony Ship?

I guess my reason to use the actual colony ships is to penalize myself against the AIs, particularly those that use LCs, and for role-playing/flavor reasons. I always wind up expanding faster than...
