mojomaster from axe - could be enough to make me reinstall windows

[ImplicitProcrastination]

I outgrew Civilization III, and realized I don't use windows anymore, so I deleted it.

Now along comes this mojo master... it has potential cause me to reinstall the windows...

Axe sent out these two guys, to approach a whole shitload of women, and figure out how different personality types react to different approaches, and make a 3d game out of it... for windows.

I'm going to try to find an xp box to give it a try on... then we'll see.

Comments?

so let me get this straight.

You're going to install windows for a long piece of adware?

[ImplicitProcrastination]

maybe not, that's why i made this post, for people like you to elaborate.

Perhaps it is an Axe ad, but if they put the kind of work into ive been reading about that doesn't make it any less cool. (I haven't played it yet... still looking for a windows box that meets the specs).

There is no shame in dual booting every now and then. I do it from time to time.

Whoa, in retrospect I apologize for this post...

I just had a revelation. I'm going to drop 40 bucks for crossover office (I have other programs I'd like to run too).

Hooray!

There's also cedega, as well. :)

Also - if it runs in either xover office or cedega - could you let our gaming guru guy know about it (Artificial Intelligence (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=19)) ?

Anything to contribute to the Ubuntu. ;)

Tried it in Wine first???

I'm simply not smart enough yet to make wine work.

As far as this post goes I was obviously intoxicated and not thinking very clearly when I wrote that; but the decision to buy CrossOver stems partly from my desire to use random windows programs I find, iTunes, as well as a program I need for my French class next semester that's windows only.

Plus I downloaded the demo and found it to be quite sweet.

Now if only I could get Civ III to work, this post kinda made me miss that game (tear). Anyone know if Cedega is as easy to make work as the CrossOver?

Cedega can be easier in some respects. Civ 3 runs in cedega

Thanks for the link, it immediately became a bookmark.

I bought Crossover last night...

ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK SOOOO HARD. Just a week ago I had become fully acceptant, after a long and grueling process, of the fact that iTunes, Civ III, and other cool stuff I had come to love on Windows, was the sacrifice I had to make for the vastly superior (in my personal experience, from a completely non-technological standpoint) stability, and overall enjoyable interface offered by Ubuntu. I wasn't even thinking about the added value that the community behind has given it by being thought-provoking and providing not just the opportunity to run an operating system that lots of people and sources (which I'm more inclined to trust until I can thoroughly educate myself enough to not rely on others' judgement) said was better and to have it live up to it's name, but the opportunity to thoroughly learn stuff in newb friendly community with people knowledgable enough to provide customized responses accompanied by a sufficiently elaborate explanation to form a platform on which I could build a knowledge of new subjects.

I'll never go back to Windows, nothing against it but... no.

I just decided I like this particular forum because it lets me post whimsical things like this.

It also gives me a chance to boost everyone's egos and toot Ubuntu's horn by telling y'all that I think you're taking part in an amazing, mind bogglingly random phonemoenon of human intellectual evolution, even if just in some small way; and as an afterthought, point out that this is evident in the fact it has successfully, permanently converted a pretentious (as I just realized this post seems to have become in little ways, sorry about that, it's the sleep deprivation) douchebag like myself to a linux based environment, and learn me enough to now be able to still use linux even if it turns out that a time warp or some **** didn't erase that part of my memory, but erased the existence Ubuntu.

That sure was a run on sentence.

This project and all the other many projects which make it and so many other cool unrelated projects work this well demonstrate the kind of cooperation and planning amongst large groups of minds that I thought, up until learning of this whole open-source world, humanity was incapable of. It's so beautiful.

Thank you all.

P.S. I still haven't tried installing the mojomaster, but will get around to it eventually.

Ok, it installed just fine under CrossOver, and damn near runs when I change the color depth to 16...

but doesn't. It just dies...

I really want this program to run, anybody have any ideas or do you think this is one of those DirectX things I should shell out the 15 bucks to cedega for?

Ok, have you checked transgaming's games database to see if it runs under cedega?
Actually, I was just there - and I didn't see your game listed - but that doesn't mean that it doesn't work.

What are the games requirements? Do they match what Cedega offers? (p.s. I'm moving this thread to the Gaming area - to hopefully get more information from the Gaming Gurus.)

[ImplicitProcrastination]

This is the system requirements:

* Pentium III 950MHz Processor
* Windows 98/Me/2000/XP
* 512 MB System RAM
* Sound card and speakers
* Direct X 9.0+
* 3D Hardware Accelerated video card
with 128 MB Video Ram
* Internet Connection

Bah... DirectX is going to annoy me.

It's not that well known of software so I just kind of assumed it wouldn't be in transgamings vaults.

I know better than to tinker with the cedega on my own...

Try the Cedega demo, it installed really easily for me this week. & Guild Wars ran on it straight away, so I could evaluate it & chose to buy it. I've had a lag problem which I've managed to solve today. So, all in all I'm VERY happy that I subscribed.

I believe that you can terminate your subscription after a minimum of 3 months @ $5 US / month. For me, just to be able to play GW smoothly @ 1600x1200 res', & not have to boot into windoze, that is money well spent!
