RTK9 is actually incredibly fun once you figure out how the system works entirely. I created a new ruler with some decent officers in the YTR scenario and decided to try out a crazy strategy that works perfect for the game, and now my ruler is the undisputed Emperor and clearly winning. The only thi...

I've seen different ends of the home-schooled spectrum. They either learn too much and get really big-headed, or they get into a social setting and remain mostly submissive. On either end of the spectrum, they are on average lacking in ideal social grace. :P

RAM is possibly the cheapest thing you can get for a computer. If you have money to spend it's easy to get a hold of 512MB, and that will cover you for almost anything. Or if you want to fork out extra, you can get a gig of RAM just to be safe.

Not only is the PS3 more expensive, but it also slightly outperforms the 360. :wink:

WoW = World of Warcraft, Blizzard's attempt at making an MMORPG. Personally, I like it, but my opinion's biased because I've been faithful to Blizzard games ever since the original Warcraft game. It's probably one of the most friendly MMORPGs to casual gamers, but don't take my word on that. If you ...
