I'm doing alright with my SC4 on this computer. I bought a new version in Japanese, though.

There shouldn't be any compatibility issues - the computer runs XP, and SC4 was programmed with that in mind.

Leaving it to run longer leads to an error message that it can't detect the disc. It might be an issue with the fact I'm using a USB cd/dvd drive. Ah well, my laptop runs SC4 so there's no real problem.

This is first world problems, anyway.

SC4 disk is still healthy for me... I have it for over 5 years now.

[Larks2242 251]

Wait SC4 came on disks too?

I'm having fun relearning how to build profitable cities in SC2k. I think I'll give SCURK a try as well.

I've had SC4 since 2004. Never had any earlier versions and one of the reasons why I wanted it so badly was that I could control vehicles and blow them up.

So, I bought wine today without getting carded... while there were a couple of cops in the store. This means I'm getting old!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I haven't been carded in years. Granted, they don't card here in Japan anyways...

I rarely ever buy alcohol.

[Chptrk 86]

Not being able to buy alcohol legally, nor having any desire to buy it at all, I've never been carded for it. Rated R movies, cigarettes, and 17+ concerts, on the other hand, I'm still carded for.

[Duke87 1,070]

I've never been carded for an R rated movie. Then again, the number of R rated movies I've seen in theaters is rather small, and I can't offhand think of one I went to see without my father being there too.

R rated movies I've seen in theaters:

Matrix Reloaded

Matrix Revolutions

Terminator 3

... and I think that's it! Googling lists of top R rated movies from the past 10 years, there are many more that I've seen, but all only on DVD.

Really?

Its funny, the first time I was ever carded was this year buying scratch off tickets in Minnesota, I used to buy rated R movies in stores all the time even when I was 14 no questions asked, I hadn't even been carted going into casinos and I even bought cigars, they just didn't care, however if I tried to buy alcohol, I'd probably get some unwanted attention

A lot of R-rated movies just don't appeal to me, and I don't smoke, so the times I need to show any proof of age are few and far between.

I ate at the bar at one of the best restaurants in town, the Met. The happy hour special had kobe beef (real wagyu steak sirloin) burgers with steak frites for a mere $7 (instead of $15). Of course there was a one drink minimum so I was carded and the three of us all had a single glass of red cabernet each with of our burgers. I hate the taste of beer and I don't like getting drunk so I have had less than half a dozen alcoholic drinks this year (well, since I turned 21 in August).

I'm pretty sure I snuck in to see all of those movies you listed, Duke. So I guess I wasn't carded for those ones.

Never gotten as lucky as you Larks, maybe you just look older or something. I can still pass off as a highschooler.

[Larks2242 251]

9227.

I wouldn't say it is cause look older, They just don't enforce the laws well, I was 16 when I went to my first casino, no one was even there asking for ID, I just walked right in with my friends.

That's cool, I guess.

I haven't stopped by here for a long while. You guys have made a lot of progress.

[Larks2242 251]

The hat fits well on my avatar. It even matches my hair!

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

You look great, astronelson.

[Duke87 1,070]

Ten-thousand post thread

We post what we must

Because we can

For the good of all of us

Except the ones who have left.

But there's no point crying over numbers misplaced,

You just keep on typing 'til you run out of space,

And the post count gets done,

And we start a new run,

For the people who are still inside.

Most overrated game of the decade, but that was a good song.

I'm going to be offline for most of the time until the weekend. I'm going to Tahoe!
