Me vs Age of Empires III

Well folks, I am furious again. After dishing out more dough for the latest whiz-bang game I’ve been disappointed again. After playing the AOE 3 demo I decided to give the full version a whirl when it was released, thinking there would of course be more content in the full version. Wrong. Sure, there are different nationalities and they have unique units, but as far as tech trees and unit types go, you pretty much have them all in the demo. OK, so now that you know that you’re throwing away your money, let me tell you what will really piss you off. Multiplayer blows. AOE 3 is the same rush-fest that all of the other AOE games have been. The forums are full of ways to get the cheapest units the fastest, or to get the best unit to the enemy base before he can mount a defense. Most games don’t last 30 minutes, and an hour long game is considered extraordinary. What a sad...

Just thought I’d mention Jamie Cullum’s new album, Catching Tales. It’s very good, even better than his first!

Here is an article validating my post (here). The article lists some of the same concerns I had. It’s interesting that companies can still get away with releasing bug ridden products. A Cingular rep told me that the phone automatically updates its software, but gave the impression that updates are rare on the Cingular network. Other networks, such as Alltel require that you dial a special number to recieve the firmware upgrade.

His is a quick list of OS’ I currently have installed on various machines:-Windows XP Home Pro-openSUSE 10.0-PCLinuxOS .91My favorite is PCLinuxOS. It’s easy to install, easy to use, and works most often. Unfortunately it didn’t work with my Dell Inspiron 9300 notebook – for that I have installed openSUSE. Although I still haven’t gotten the wireless working on it (openSUSE) it appears to be working well otherwise. I’ll post again if I get that working.
