    Star Control RETURNS?!

    Yeah, I played SC1 on the Genesis. Also, Star Flight, which had a lot of similar mechanics to Star Control 2:

    Total War: Warhammer

    Ehh what is lackluster about the Battletech KS? The game is gonna have pretty much everything you could want in a Mech Commander sequel and you get the full game for $25. What could you realistically expect to be that much better about it?

    Star Control RETURNS?!

    Links: Fans Can Help Developer Stardock Determine the Future of Star Control - IGN Founders survey: Star Control Founder's Program Application Survey Anyway, I could have sworn there was a thread for this since the CEO of Stardock has talked about this before. Couldn't find anything...

    The Metal Thread

    Haven't been to a metal show in years, then just saw Suffocation last night in Orlando. They are so fucking tight live it sounds just like the album. Even better actually. They played a few tracks off this of course: Four bands opened for them. Terrance Hobbs, black dude on right, just...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    There was a few MMOGs that used the Unreal 2 engine and I don't remember hearing about massive performance issues with those: Lineage 2, Ragnarok 2, Prison Tale 2, some others. But then, I never tried any of them ... List of Unreal Engine games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Battletech

    What are people backing that don't get delivered? MMOGs by companies with no track record? I have yet to back a failed KS. So far: - Wasteland 2 - Shadowrun Returns (which also included Dragonfall) - Shadowrun Hong Kong - Pillars of Eternity - Grim Dawn (in Steam beta now) Still...

    Halo 5 : Guardians

    Graphics are fine so far for me. I have noticed zero LOD or shadow pop-in shown in YouTube vids. Honestly, you have to actively look for that stuff to find it. Still testing obviously, but so far I've found: - despite being 60 FPS your guy still controls like a tank compared to other...

    Halo 5 : Guardians

    I don't understand how there can be LOD popping and low frame-rate animations in this game when Titanfall looked pretty awesome, had great animations, and no LOD popping, and solid 60 FPS except in a few spots on a few maps. Same with Call of Duty. It didn't look as good as TF but still looked...

    The Synthwave Thread

    Some shitty movie from the 1980's called "The Jar" had the best soundtrack ever. Looked around for this band called "Obscure Sighs" but not much to find. Would be awesome if newer synthwave band could remake this stuff:

    Heroes of the Storm

    There's a couple nice LT Morales plays in this vid. One is a medi-vac backdoor. Other is stim / healing on Abathur and he tanks down The Butcher. ^ This whole series is pretty good.

    Battletech

    Uhh yeah, because if you aren't in the black you cannot make games (unless you are 4 dudes working in the basement after the day job). - for the past decade+ virtually no publishers have risked backing turn-based RPGs - HBS targeted an under served market, and has become extremely successful...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, I had a girl where the 2nd date was her inviting me to her kid's 3rd birthday and met her parents and in-laws. On the 4th date I mentioned I was considering a job offer from Amazon in Seattle. She asked " are you bringing us with you?" Us, referring to her and her kid ....

    Wasteland 2

    ^ yeah good point about skills requiring more points the higher you level them. Is this an exhaustive list of Trinkets? Trinkets - Wasteland 2 Wiki Because I looked at that list when I decided +1 Attribute of your choice and 5 skillpoints is worth giving up a trinket slot for. Very few of...

    Wasteland 2

    So ... yeah started my guys over since it is so easy to gimp your characters in this. I highly suggest reading a character creation guide. - You should have Int 4 or Int 8, and not in between (thats where you get the extra skill point per level) - Like Vorph said Disparnumerophobia is good...

    Wasteland 2

    ^ Yeah I was confused at first too. The game is an entirely new entry in your Library. For Shadowrun : Dragonfall : DC that wasn't the case. Makes sense I guess since save games are likely not compatable. Anyway, fired this up last night at about 8pm expecting to make my chars and maybe do...

    Wasteland 2

    Yeah, I Kick-started and was about to start this up a couple months ago ... then they announced the Director's Cut. Will be starting it tomorrow and report back with results. Right now I have Pillars of Eternity and W2 on deck. Will definitely be busy for a while.

    Greatest Guitar Solo

    What if 80% of the album is a "solo"? These guys use sweep pick arpeggios just for riffs (not solos) on both bass and guitar. Dude does these monster sweeps and tap runs on an 8 string too. If you play guitar they are worth checking out, even if you don't like the style, just for the...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Just finished it. Took 27 hours. Looking at my Steam profile it took 20 hours to finish X:Com an 20 hours to finish Skyrim (main storyline only), so that is a pretty decent amount of content. My Dragonfall got upgraded to Director's cut, so it erased my time stats. ;(

    Sadly Curt is kinda right. Has anyone seen what the "non-extremists" in Afghanistan are like? Bunch of neanderthal child molesters. This movie is a real eye-opener: This Is What Winning Looks Like | VICE | United States The idiots we are trying to "save" seem no better than the Taliban...

    Pathfinder Online

    edit: Wow, its been 3 years already. Not surprised this was a failure. Pathfinder is an established IP, but its mostly known among D&D grognards. The last thing they want is a territorial based PVP MMOG whose mechanics have very little resemblance to Pathfinder tabletop. If they sunk this...

    Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition

    Just finished both all the way through with same party (private multiplayer game with all hand-made characters). According to Steam: - BG1:EE / Black Pits - 52 hours - BG2:EE / Black Pits II - 79 hours And I am far from a competitionist. Damn these games had sooo much content. Also, man...

    Shadowrun Returns

    Loving SR:HK so far. I backed both games on KS. Playing the usual Ork Rifles / Decker. - really like the new matrix - upgrade paths for followers is awesome - engine looks better and seems to have optimized as well (Unity 5 upgrades) Given the consistent quality, if they put one of these...

    Return of Reckoning - Warhammer Online Private Server

    Despite the bugs and balance issues, this was probably my 3rd favorite MMOG ever behind WoW and EQ. I was a Warrior Priest in a guild called Ruin on Dark Crag open RVR server. Ruin is basically a PRX-like mega guild:RUIN GAMING Looking back Warhammer had lot going for it - cool classes and...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Me and a friend (Raynor on screenshot, removed RealId) did a bunch of bot matches last night. Then jumped into our first PVP game today. Went pretty well heh. Azmodan is pretty fun. Can just lob bombs and kill people from offscreen. Seems like team games are easier than bot matches right now...

    Conan the Octogenarian

    Also, too bad the guy who wrote the soundtrack, Basil Pouldouris, died in 2006. You can't really get a better opening track to a movie than this: Entire soundtrack is on YouTube. Definitely worth hearing the entire thing.
