Ouch, I didn't know we didn't re-sign Carter.

Sid Meier's Civilization V GOTY Edition $12.49 (Steam) by TwwIXin GameDeals

My E8500 Wolfdale is several generations older than that and the situation you're describing takes like 1.5 seconds to load.

DLCs? by chrisarg72in civ

[–]Bender1012 4 points5 points ago

Just want to mention that GOTY edition does not include Korea or Wonders of the Ancient World. If OP already has the base game he's better off buying each DLC pack individually since those are on sale also.

HOLY S... Civilization V GOTY @ -86% OFF ($12.5) at Gamersgate! It activates on STEAM and includes a bunch of DLCs too. by toolionin civ

[–]Bender1012 0 points1 point ago

You'd think they'd have offered something like that by now, all the DLCs in a pack, but no, we're still forced to buy like 6 separate things individually.

That's only the Cradle of Civilization bundle, which doesn't even include any new playable civs.

Steam also doesn't list Korea or Wonder of the Ancient World, I think the GOTY edition really just doesn't have them.

DISREGARD EVERYTHING I SAID BEFORE

As fwhooooooomp pointed out below, all of the individual DLC is also on sale. If you are like me and already have the base game, you can get all the available DLCs for a total of $10.58

Babylon ~ $1.24

Spain + Inca ~ $1.87

Polynesia ~ $1.24

Denmark + Explorer's map pack ~ $1.87

Korea + Wonders of the Ancient World ~ $1.87

Cradle of Civilization pack ~ $2.49

Grand total: $10.58 for all DLC released so far. Awesome deal, jumping on this now!

According to 2K it was... basically anything can be GOTY, it's a meaningless title.

Alright Reddit! What are some of the biggest movie plot holes that you know of? by DrToonzin AskReddit

Just stuff an atmosphere in there, done.

So I picked up a 128i MT a week and a half ago. What kind of MPG should I be getting? What do you get? by Whatyoushouldknowin BMW

[–]Bender1012 1 point2 points ago

Never measured it that exactly but my general feeling is that I get around what you're currently getting, low 20s, doing mixed suburban driving. Being that my car is N54 with the twin turbos plus being heavier than your car I would expect you to get somewhat better mileage.

[–]Bender1012 2 points3 points ago

Err, your advice to use 5th gear to cruise at 30 mph seems weird to me. In a 6-speed manual 5th gear is already an overdrive gear. My commute is 90% local highway where people cruise at 40 mph, and once I did try using 5th gear for this but found it got worse mileage than using 4th.

Edit: Sorry, 5th gear in these 6MT cars is actually 1:1 gearing ratio, not overdrive. But the point still stands.

[–]Bender1012 1 point2 points ago

Seems pretty standard... have you tried tabbing to the Instantaneous MPG display and watching that? Might clue you in to specific conditions that are giving you bad mileage.

[–]Bender1012 1 point2 points ago

For a naturally aspirated engine yeah you should probably be getting a bit better. What kind of driving have you been doing (city or highway) and when do you shift?

Oh and congrats on the car, I do love the 1 series.

Also key is using the power attack to temporarily disable certain enemies so you get attacked by less at a time.

For those of you who don't think starting a new game is worth it... by Bender1012in skyrim

[–]Bender1012[S] 1 point2 points ago

I assume you're talking about console, in which case I don't see why not. It's not like saved games are stored on the disc, they're stored on your console's hard drive which should theoretically support as many save files as there is free space left on it.

What do you think about graphical mods? by Scarfallin skyrim

[–]Bender1012 0 points1 point ago

I don't understand people that say ENB mods make the game look fake... they are meant to make the game look more realistic, not the other way around. If your game looks fake after installing ENB then the profile you are using sucks. Personally I use ENBPM. He offers different versions with or without Depth of Field or SSAO.

Need some serious help... by scaarin skyrim

Yeah read what the other guy said. It's not a glitch. Once the disease Sanguinare Vampiris progresses to full on vampirism you can't cure it like any other disease, you have to go on an arduous quest specifically to cure it.

True or False: In less than 10 years, the FB position will die. by Immynimmyin nfl

[–]Bender1012 9 points10 points ago

In Belichick's final coaching year he should concoct an epic troll strategy for the ages. He'll somehow make it work for the Patriots, then sit back and laugh as other teams fail miserably trying to copy it.
