Grah! I decided that I hate Steam, after it refused to let me play my Portal 2 anymore, and every fix listed online failed. Attempting to reinstall, and making a mental note to myself to never buy a valve game for the PC again. I do think I'll stick with the 360 versions for now on. While graphically inferior, at least they do not force you to use the overly strict steam. I do hope that Skyrim doesn't use steam, since I particularly wanted a PC version for that...

EDIT:
And... nope, reinstalling did not work... Must try again or die trying, making it halfway through the game before the game decides to not let me play is lousy, especially when you forked over $60 for it...

Buying games on the day of release is always expensive, and downloading is not an option on my internet. It would take over a week of straight downloading, assuming the download doesn't break halfway through. At the moment, I am attempting reinstall #2 after wiping the registry (sad how uninstallers fail to clean up their own mess most of the time). It seems to be going better, but the update needed for Portal 2 is taking forever.  :-X

The city I live in doesn't have public fireworks, for all I know. My usual city has a population of 117,000 or something. So I just went to another city, got a decent place but a tree was still blocking. First half of the fireworks were pretty mediocre, and then it got better as always. But, it's still good. Then the usual walking back and driving back...another hour. :P

Where I live, it rained for most of the day, so big fireworks shows were a no-go. :-\  I guess there's always New Year's.

Even my tiny city of a population of about the same as yours, Ultifd, has fireworks (on Canada day, that is).

And in other news, Steam (and Portal 2) is working again. Yay.

Every city's budget is different. And that even matters more when you're comparing two different countries. I don't think it's tiny too...

Happy 4th a July!
I live in a large city. I met some of my friends and ate tons of delicious fries! :D

This year for us:
Bob Marley
Our own symphony orchestra.
Huge Fireworks!
Masses of people collected on the slopes to the ocean.
Huge lines for the fries...
And more. :D

Never a better thing to support. After watching the collateral murder video, it's hard not to support WikiLeak's (and Anonymous's) cause, and the blockage of donations by credit card companies is an outrage.

Okay so latley was playing MegaGlest, cause it seems other versions (types) of Glest refuse to be stable on my laptop. Glest, GAE, they no longer work. MG does, but I have this one lil issue. When it loads, everything works, but the resolution isn't too clear. Words are slightly blurred, and the font sizes are a bit smaller than normal. I can't figure out how to fix it, and my current screen resolution supports the game. I don't trust myself to fiddle with any settings, but still, it's a small issue that's become annoying (to the point I stopped playing MG). Any advice guys? Also, I did uninstall the whole thing, I'll need to download a fresh copy, some new add ons, try to start over, but I just don't trust MG (or the others) right now. I've already had some game crashes (they just shut down and go to my desktop) which is making me rather weary of the games. I do not want to kill my laptop (or screen) but Glest in its entirety is the single best (free) Real-Time Strategy game I've ever had the pleasure of playing. I don't want this experience to end. Can you guys help me, please?

Two things: firstly, you actually went off topic in the offtopic board, if you wish to continue after this post, do so on either the MG or GAE boards. Secondly, update your drivers, most crashes are the fault of that. If that still doesn't work, you likely have rather bad hardware, and should put some serious thought into buying a new computer.

First off, no I never played Fable 2, second of all, curse and insult one more time and it might be your last before the admins kick you off, :bomb: just a fair warning for you cougar. also, not everyone has the time to be on the forum 24/7 so expecting someone to answer in 3 minutes is a bit too much :|
Either way, welcome to the forum
