  1. imagine it would go something like this http://gifsoup.com/view/12851/riding-the-bomb-o.gif
  2. so its theif, machinarium, assassian's creed, bioshock, hitman codename 47, starwars jedi academy, aliens vs predator, max payne, the elder scrolls and deus ex all in a dwemer style setting. (gasps for breath) is there any game that it doesnt have in it? must have taken years to design. i have heard a few people talkin about it along with assassins creed and resident evil. might get it this month meself.
  3. ill be there for the saturday night game and ill try for the friday wanna see how that desert seige pans out.

    ENDEAVOUR

    and its actually the space program that gives more to mankind and the us economy. necessity is the mother of invention every space launch needs new things smaller lightweight parts that have to be future proof to justify sending it up to the iss. everytime they make progress with a new invention or material or gps system the research gets farmed out to us companies who farm out parts to more companies who keep the communities afloat and all get the benefit of the progress in years later when it becomes cheaper and old hat such as gps. computers were stupid massive machines before nasa turned up. then they said we're going to need a computer to do the navigating. and passed the work out to mit to come up with the guidance program. these breadboards were weaved wire around magnetic cores for ones and zeros and programming was more like sewing than programming. it was a massive leap from heavyweight valves and levers cranking out computations. research started and ibm and many companies got going. now the world is filled with these things. we build planes out of aluminuim instead of wood and girders. anything with aluminuim was regarded as "the same stuff they build space shuttles out of implying it was high tech for the time before it's uses were for napoleon's plates. the space program being put on hold because of a recession was not a smart move and technology advancement will slow down rapidly because of it.
  5. i know but rockets on the sides. its almost an apollo 13 mission waiting to happen. a fuel leak, birdstrike these rockets point forwards it could cut through the plane like a acytelene torch if knocked about. heres a vid of it working properly its jaw dropping.
  6. i know one or two of ya will appreciate this. so lets try to find bonkers projects such as the robotic horse and post em up.
  7. is there room for one more or are you full up?

    Jaguar

    its a nice car im a bit dubious about the rear spoiler considering its a convertable? i can't say for sure but don't supercars handle worst when the're convertables? im thinking Bernoulli's principle comes into play as supercars are supposed to be designed like planes fuselages are. i know it was said during top gear and i know better than to trust top gear but could it be true? i could be wrong about this entirely?
  9. looks like a game i had back a few years ago called echelon. with a nice battlefield element to it.

  11. this one actually looks fun though and the obvious fail but the music makes it
  12. count me in if i havn't missed it already :disc dog:
  13. well im up for all day sunday or monday or friday to take it out for a spin. what mods will i need off the top of your head?
  14. Lightspeed have you had any luck with friendly ai running support for missions, say for running insertions and extractions and responding to raidioed in lasing for A-10 support. or are they too dopey and unrealistic to reasonably take any of the logistics off from us? just a thought for those days when theres only a small handful for coop and we cant spare a man to sit in an A-10 for half the mission.
  15. id play dayz but im only around 11pm to 2am GMT its no fun alone.
  16. careful you dont fry the electrics doin it like this guy Halli http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yil2jWQ5Oqg

    Arma 3

    i think the ai would be well served for realisim if the programmers just made it so that the ai does it thing but when the first bullet goes bang the system does a roll of the dice for each squad either they hunker down near close objects such as tyres rocks or just down if theres nothing within 10 feet of them. or the system rolls a run for the buildings and take cover against them. cqb combat should consist of ai that watch doorways and windows not pointing their fn fal at the naughty corner of the room. they should make use of second floor windows and effectivly garrison building for ambushes. this would make it a damn near perfect game in my eyes. the only thing else i would ask for is adaptive ai. in 1996 aliens vs predator a truly terrifying game was made the aliens adapted to your gameplay. they learned to sneak up on you and stop moving when you spun around so you would think it was your imagination. their tatics changed depending on your style of fighting. so if we all convoyed through ao's they'd start deploying snipers on high ground including rooftops with armour piercing rounds to pick us off in subsequent ao's. if we kept at it theyd deploy sneaky mines. we use jet fighters theyd start moving mission intensive stuff into forests to make it difficult for us to hit anything and have those strela and igla troops at the edge of forests. this would keep us from rolling over each ao as the aos would be taking note from the last one and assessing the probabilities of how we would attack the current ao based of the major methods used in the other ao offensives. pretty soon after six aos the ai would be waitin for us if we tried the same approach to combat.
  18. i remember stumbling across a video when trying to find out what raids were for and the different types last semester i stumbled across this gem. possibly the most powerful personal computer ever built for probably the next 6 years if moores law holds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKcSxd_ynsM&sns=em
  19. loved it kinda hilights some of the things we wish were a bit more quick in a firefight like the unholstering of weapons. shoulda had the accidental rpg to rifle to rpg with hostiles in front. fell about laughin at him climbin his golf. as for the drivin thingy i didnt think that was funny i have done that in my golf many times pretending i was playin arma... i thought everyone who owned a lada, toyota hilux, vw golf and tractor did
  20. is that last one a real 1911 or a conceptual wish list of a 1911?
  21. china are supposed to be building a proper phone called the m2 that is supposed to put them on the map. ill wait till its out and have a look. ive bought a couple of absoulute knock off chinese phones in the past that were absoulute horseshite looked like someone tried to make an os in their spare time as a pet project. but this one is sounding like the real deal. http://www.chinaphonereview.com/xiaoxiaomi-m2-one-plus i would hold off the iphone and see what comes out in the next 6 months. in other news the chinese have managed to already rip off the iphone 5 see thunderbird 5/ goophone runs ice cream sandwich cracks me up when they say it doesn't infringe in copyright because of the changes. the thing looks the exact same to the untrained eye i never understood how apple sued samsung when samsung created the screens that apple uses. samsung are the forefront of display technology.
