    Best 4x Space Game?

    Master of Orion 2 > * I've played a few others, and nothing can compare in terms of tech trees, race trait variety, random events, etc. I think if they make a high res remake of it, with some minor streamlining and modernization, it would be awesome.

    Any kava drinkers here? Is it any good?

    It is pretty good, but it makes your mouth kind of numb. I think it is normally made by mixing powder with water as far as prep goes... I don't drink it too often, one of my friends is from Fiji and introduced me to it.

    Turn-Based Strategy Games

    Master of Orion 2 is my favorite turn based strategy game followed by Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and Civilization 3. The creativity and depth of the ship designs, tech trees, and combat tactics in Master of Orion 2 are really top-notch, even today. Its a real shame Simtex never got to...

    I check my blind spot when changing lanes, its just that the parking lot driving area is a single lane, so I was checking straight back behind me (after I pull out past the stationwagon, which I checked for with the side mirror and turning my head when pulling out). I will still try to talk...

    I did this as I was pulling out to make sure I didn't hit the station wagon that was parked next to me, but once I was clear of it, I look at my center mirror and straight back and didn't see it in my FOV.

    Accident Advice

    I don't think so, the area the volkwagon owner said she parked is shown in the picture, at the bottom left. How can it pull out backward and then roll forward? Also, the police officer said that the volkwagon was in my blind spot since I didn't move my car until he arrived.
