4x dead. PC games dying. Gave away PC. :(
Well, I donated my PC. Its that useless and a volunteer organization I do some work for needed a new PC so I rebuilt and donated it (I swapped the Geforce4 card out though  )
4x is dead. Imperium Galactica became "Nexus: the homeworld wannabe" so I'm not going to buy it. I can play SE4 on my wife's 500mhz. I'll buy a new PC next summer when SE5 comes out. In the meantime, I need another hobby. Bowling anyone?
Will I ever play another game that keeps me up with the "one more turn" syndrome?
Is there a patch in the works for Starfury? I thought there was one and it might add some "things"? I only bought Starfury to support SE5 but it was ok to play through.
Any word on SE5? Out next summer?
Xbox gives me a gaming "fix", but it doesn't keep me up late... wait, maybe thats a good thing? |

There was one patch for Starfury with rumors of a possible another later.

Do you have XBox live? Its great, except for the cursing high pitched 13 year olds who think they're great. They populate Halo 2 servers sooo much...

Re: 4x dead. PC games dying. Gave away PC. :(
Oh, and PC games are not dying! The PC is a major platform. What platforms has Half Life 2 came out on? Thats right, just the PC! How about CnC Generals? Battle for Middle Earth? The Sims2? Which platform did Doom3 come out for first?
At the same time, console games are a major platform as well. Sure, I really cannot afford to support both hobbies, but I have fun with both.

The problem with PC games is that they are trying to be console games too much these days.
Starfury, on the otherhand, would make a neat port over to console games.

How so? Sure, Deus Ex 2 was an obvious PC/console game, but games like CnC Generals doesn't translate to a console very well at all. And the Sims Urbz thing looks just plain stupid.
