    Who do I have to pay for a new Jedi Knight game?

    Nobody cares about the Force Unleashed. It sucks.

    The Astronomy Thread

    There is no tipping point, just a comparison of value between asteroid mining and mars landing. Trying to grow space weed is cool, but is hydroponics really the limiting factor in space exploration here? Do we have the tech for self-sufficient mars/moon colonies? What about the moon/mars would...

    Albion Online

    All those hours are fine as long as the gameplay you're doing to get it is fun. That's the core problem I have with Albion and the biggest fear I have for Crowfall.

    VR porn at adult parties where there is drinking isn't that weird. Unless it's a sausage fest.

    If helium3 ever becomes so valuable that a stable moon base would make sense, it seems like we should make a moon base then. Who knows if and when it'll happen, and it'll likely be a lot easier to do later.

    The Astronomy Thread

    With our current technology, what would colonizing Mars do? What is the upside? Sure we'd learn a lot doing it, just like when we went to the moon, but what is the direct upside to Mars? The upside to asteroid missions is unmistakable and clear. We start corralling asteroids, we start...

    Albion Online

    The power curve being long doesn't bother me as long as: 1. Items drop on death. 2. The game resets. 3. The power curve isn't too steep. I remember those being true before, have they changed.

    I am afraid of what will happen when my kid starts repeating my mannerisms and make everything I say seem old and/or childish. It's like, you've taken so much, child, do you really need to take that from me too?

    Fuck going to the moon. And mars. Who cares. Billions of dollars to go grab your dick and plant a flag? This is one of the real bridges to space exploration:

    I agree with it being obnoxious, but I think that the undesirable parts will be shaken out during real play-testing. All the doohickeys are cool, shit just needs to happen fast.

    I get why the honda civic wouldn't (I love my honda accord btw), but the ferrari should. As should a racing or fighting ship. I'm just wondering if they've ever answered that question. Even if they had a compelling answer I wouldn't care. I think it makes for bad gameplay.

    Did CIG ever give an answer for why forces acting upon the player are a problem in a game where gravity controlling technology is a thing? I don't know what bullshit they made up to describe how they can have gravity on space ships, but I'm guessing they have tech that emits a gravity field...

    Yep. I'd want to see the inverse of that trailer (real life actors, 90s cartoon voiceovers). At least for apocalypse.

    I think my initial hip shot of 2 minutes is still too long. UNLESS there is real gameplay involved. If you're doing a hot landing on a pirate planet with atmospheric threats you can avoid (giant mosquitos, pterodactyls, whatever) I don't mind having a prolonged landing time. Just like I...

    Fallout 4

    You're right. But the way he talked about his "qualified success" makes it sound more hopeful than it should be. I also never understood how it got the FEV anyway. Was it a lab accident? self injection?

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    No idea. This article is hyping it as a slow increase in the fundamentals behind using BTC as a deflationary currency: https://sato.sh/note/11128 But I don't really buy it. There is also more and more talk about how BTC is easily stressed under continued load because of the way the block...

    YOU HAVE TO GET UP EARLIER IN THE MORNING TO STUMP ME!!! When you make a poll this version of vbulletin posts the thread before it gives you the options of posting polls. So if you drag ass with the polls you'll inevitably end up with these guys swooping in before you can finish it. Bonus...

    I've preferred Louis CK because I thought his bits were more original and clever. I love Bill Burr too though. What are you talking about? *shifty eyes*

    Just wait a few months. I'm sure when the CV1 releases early next year it'll be super easy to get a demo of the first "commercial high end VR" system and you can see for yourself if it's legit.

    Virtual Reality

    I have a DK2 and played an assortment of games. The hype is legitimate (though blown out of proportion by faux-tech journalists of course). The difference between the 90s VR and today's VR is equal in magnitude to the difference between the cell phones of the 90s and the mobile devices of...

    I don't think the seamless nature prevents fast transitions though. You should be able to essentially warp speed to the mesophere above where you want to land, go at 'zoom speed' (I don't know what terms they are calling the different speeds) to the troposphere (20s re-entry) and then engage...

    Personally I don't want to have blinding re-entry effects for several minutes everytime I have to land on a planet. It'd make for a cool video and would be fun for the first dozen times. But after that no thanks, just get me to where the fun is.

    I think it'd be easier to tell if the scale is correct if they had a more feature rich surface. Game developers have gotten very good at lying to gamers as to the world scale (for good reason), and even if SC is trying to be realistic there's no reason to stop lying. Would be amazing if they...
