MH6~SPARTA~

I've noticed that playing vs AI with Crispy, they seem to get a shit ton more deployment points than we do. They were literally spawning out 40 some units while Crispy and I could afford like 5 at best. It got to be pretty ridiculous. It could be they were just using dirt cheap units, but they were pretty damn good units for being dirt cheap.

Is Firefall free to play? More importantly, does my account from beta still exist, or do I pretty much have to redo everything.

Haha. I know the feeling. I saw a Rift Youtube video that was from the advantage point of a quadcopter. When it skyrocketed into the air, my stomach dropped. It was crazy. The resolution does suck, looking forward to the 1080p version. The input lag is fine though.

Cool. Ka-50's may be a little more useful now. I've pretty much stopped using them in favor of the Mi-28. Also, they nerfed my poor Konkurs infantry.

Yeah I figured that'd be a huge disadvantage. Was hoping the special benefits would help remove that disadvantage--I take it they don't?

Good to know, thanks. Also, it seems if you specialize your decks (i.e. same nation for everything, same unit type, or same time period) you get substantial bonuses. From the Wargame website:

Wat.

Super 61 is down. We got a bird down in the city. Super 61 is on the deck now. Get an MH-6 on site and check for survivors. ...he's dead Jim.

The following is my opinion: ASUS (~decent price & nice), Acer (cheaper, less nice)/Samsung(nicer, less cheap). Newegg search, $150-250, sort by best rating.

Holy crap. Now he needs to cause an earthquake under it...

Yeah I'll move my post so as not to derail the thread too much.

Funny. Funny guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wicG_rDtD5Y New enemy animation (I think it looks pretty sweet): We're actually showcasing the current build at TMODE (some anime/gaming convention in Maryland). And no convention is complete without swag, so here is ours--bags of sunflower seeds (since it's a game about throwing seeds and restoring life to the world). Both cheap to make and pretty cool I think.

Ha, nice. I'll have to try that.

Well, the show was decent. The only thing that really bugged me was the Indogene race. I feel like they could have done something to make them look more like aliens and less like humans with stockings over their head.

I still remember the day I built a cloaked Mass Driver on one planet--charged it to an ungodly amount, put a massive payload in it, and shot it at another planet. The cargo, which at this point was essentially a huge fucking projectile of death, lit the planet up in a gigantic fireball and killed everyone on the surface. It was a beautiful thing to behold. Anyway, I managed to play PE for a few hours today in between all the damn work I had to do. It's pretty fun, I'm liking it. I designed my own pistol, crafted it, and bought some copper rounds. Them nasty critters roaming around are quite a bit less scary now (except for the big ones, I still give them a wide berth). I *had* built myself a nice little house with some cannon emplacements on the roof to fend off the local wildlife. There was a quest beside my house to fend off a wave of monsters, and I took it. Only thing is, one of said monsters was about as big as my house, and didn't take kindly to my cannons firing at him. I no longer have a house.

Swallowed a few months of mine. SpaceBuild in particular. Creating a spaceship from the ground up, designing life support systems and programming the ship's computers is insanely fun. For me anyway.

This is the game I've been waiting for. Garry's Mod meets Minecraft. They are even hoping to eventually support the ability to build a rocket/space ship to reach and colonize planetary moons. Which, you know, would be absolutely amazing (akin to SpaceBuild in Garry's Mod, the coolest mod ever). I've already kickstarted it, plan on trying it out when I get home tonight. The premise of it is something I've dreamed of for a long time now, glad to see someone is making it a reality. Create your character, design your weapons, build a shelter, build defenses, design your vehicles, and survive!

Amazon is pretty awesome, I watch almost all of my TV through Amazon.

I'm tempted to buy a Hyrdra controller to add positional tracking like this guy did: The developer version doesn't have positional tracking (only rotation), but the consumer version will apparently. As well as a higher resolution LCD.

I just received my developer kit for the Oculus Rift! Will definitely be trying it out with some flight/racing sims tonight and this weekend. The kit itself is fucking top-notch quality. Comes in a plastic briefcase with foam padding, has three sets of lenses (for those with 20/20, nearsighted, and extremely nearsighted vision), power adapters for virtually every type of socket (US/Euro/etc) and comes with HDMI/USB/DVI cables.

I have an ASUS Rampage Extreme IV, but haven't ever updated the BIOS (I honestly think you should never update the BIOS unless you are having actual problems already). I am also running a GTX 580 on the latest drivers with no issues. You should be able to play A3 just fine to be honest.

Company of Heroes 2 pre-orders are now available on Steam, and if you pre-order you get instant access to the Beta! Gogogogo!

Beauty. My brother's 'stang has that same Saleen kit. Love the two-toned look, that's the kind of style I wanted for my '66; two-toned black/silver on top/bottom.

Yeah. Affordable 3D printers can be purchased here: http://www.makerbot.com/ When I say affordable, I mean ~$2k-3k. My boss wants to buy one for the office at some point. Which would be fucking awesome.
