    EA will now publish Star Wars Games.

    Hoping EA will reboot the X-Wing franchise seems a bit naive. Xbros/fratboys don't own flight sticks. I would like to be wrong, but EA just doesn't make games for "people like us".

    Don't Starve (similar to survival minecraft)

    If you guys haven't played it in a while, give it another whirl. Things have changed a lot.

    Games that gave you the most bang for your buck

    Recently Gnomoria wins. I've put nearly 100 hours into it so far. Not bad for $8.

    North Korea goes full retard

    Yes, a foreign school. Yes of course they were very privileged students; they wouldn't have been allowed outside NK otherwise. If you'll note, the quote I took issue to suggested that even those that were treated "nicely" by the North Korean regime were suffering from malnutrition. Though...

    North Korea goes full retard

    Have you ever met anyone from North Korea? I'm 5"10"; my old classmates from NK were all around my height. Obviously things suck there, but the idea that everyone there is a malnourished midget is simply propaganda.

    Starbound

    They posted up the road map finally. You can see how far along development is on specific parts of the game now. http://www.playstarbound.com/roadmap/

    Must Have iOS Apps

    Does anyone have any suggestions for remote desktop iOS apps?

    North Korea goes full retard

    That's actually an accurate statement. North Korea and South Korea have been in a state of war since 1950. No peace treaty was ever signed, only an armistice agreement.

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    Although I'm a scrub, I don't really recommend it. It relies on walling in exploits. If you're going to do that, you might as well play with no enemies.

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    It must the the whole caregiver thing. I thought I just needed to assign a doctor. D'oh. So basically, by the first day of summer, I need to have: A tailor station for bandages 5 gnomes set to be standing military, preferably training by the gate 2 gnomes for the hospital Everyone else...

    Yup, I was a ranger. You were one of our monks! I seem to remember you being a euro, but my memory from then is a bit hazy.

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    I seem to have gotten a better start. I found it really helpful to make three crude workshops right away and set two of them to just make planks. I also move my "builders" to a new profession that can do everything. That way there are potentially four people that can man wood crafting stations...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    I'm terribad at this. I can't ever seem to get hospitals/tailor stations up and running fast enough to support the troops.

    Aradune Returns to EQ aka the EQ Nostalgia thread

    I was in Stasis during that period. Fun times indeed. You missed so much good drama though. :/ KtF/Unity cockblocking EA during velious? Rovell McEbay? Keepers of the Faith, not Keepers of the Flame. I liked how the rumors of KtF having devs in it were finally confirmed. I ended up joining...

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    Oh hell no. I've restarted at least a dozen times trying to refine an opening strat. What I'm doing now is trying to cordon/wall off enough outside territory for future agricultural needs. I'm surviving the goblin attacks so far by filling a squad with five gnomes, keeping them unarmed and...

    I've put 20 hours into this already. I think I'm a sucker for sandbox games.

    Multiple planets are confirmed, yeah. You explore the galaxy in a spaceship. Pew pew.

    StarCraft 2

    I'm a big fan of Day9's Newbie Tuesday episodes for helping newbs get up to speed. The stickies at the team liquid forums have a lot of good info too. Here are three newbie tuesdays that are worth watching for new players. They all cover basic stuff you might not know...

    Torrents

    Like I said, it isn't every time. The folder also must contain an archive or .exe. If you saw the popup, you would know it isn't malware. It's clearly part of the uTorrent software. I can't seem to force it on an already downloaded torrent that is seeding; must be for new downloads only. I'll...

    Battlefield 4

    I'll never know. I have zero interest in installing Origin. I've had a Steam account for almost 10 years. I don't need or want another content delivery service, especially not one from a company like EA.

    Torrents

    No, it's from uTorrent. With uTorrent 3.2.3, if you right click > open containing folder, if the torrent has a .rar/.zip (and I imagine .exe) uTorrent will sometimes give you a "careful, this file might harm your computer" popup, which then leads to "buy a year of uTorrent premium for better...

    Torrents

    As best I can tell, the pop up you get from trying to right click > open containing folder is not something you can turn off. I have the rest of the ads off already, yet I still get that. I was able to deal with everything else, but a torrent client trying to sell me stuff when I want to open a...

    Torrents

    So now that uTorrent is getting more and more loaded with ads/pop ups every update, is there a decent alternative out? I just did a right click > open containing folder and it tried to sell me the upgrade. :/

    Gnomoria - Like Dwarf Fortress

    I hope they put this up on Steam soon. This seems like it will feed my sandbox addiction for quite a while.

    E-reader or tablet

    Kindles are badass. I have both a Kindle Paperwhite and an iPad; I would never read a book on the tablet if I had a choice. The Kindle is much easier on the eyes. Just a heads up: Kindle Paperwhites seem to have some manufacturing problems still. Many of the screens are coming out a couple...

    EA's pay to win future

    Seems like I made a good decision by refusing to install origin or never buying any games that require it.

    The Fighting Game Community Thread

    Unfortunately SRK is doing a server migration right now so I can't give you links. It should come back up later this afternoon. There are a bunch of useful threads stickies in the newbie dojo. There are a lot of things in fighting games that aren't intuitive. Execution wise, it's difficult to...

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    I've found myself pretty addicted to pixel people. It's sort of tiny tower meets sim city. Free to play and no real need for the in app purchases.

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    I should have added that I played the shit out of four on the SNES back in the day. Is the remake worth doing a replay over checking out 3? I know I can't really go wrong on this, just curious what more die hard FF fans think.

    Android/iOS/Browser games

    I have a 12 hour flight coming up, so I'm contemplating getting a final fantasy to kill time with on ipad. Any thoughts on which to pick up between 3 and 4?

    Torrents

    I'm in the US visiting family for a couple weeks. I haven't lived here for years, so I'm out of the loop when it comes to torrenting safety. Do I need to worry much about the fam's ISP sending letters due to my downloading escapades? Are there trackers that are safer than others?
