That huge white thing by the spawn was a godsend. I stand upon the shoulders of giants. EDIT : Minor setback; small case of bagception. EDIT 2 : Found all the companies now. Will assess threats later. Must build defences.

Still plotting my inevitable return... oh wait, I have enough time this morning! I think I'll ruin everything now! Anything that isn't tied down is going, as per the theft rules of this server. M-Tech is back. And it will be good.

You Antivirus is ruining everything. Trust me. Go and get something better for you, like Avast!, or even Microsoft Security Essentials, both for free. Both are very good at catching stuff that may sneak up on you, and provide immunisation faster than many paid programs.

Arse, I was here to see perhaps an excellent a capella rendition of a classic hit song. But that would be the singing thread of course.

Although you should've made a proper bug report, I'm going to be nice and just ask you to post your computer specs, I've seen this before.

Yup, pretty much only use RedPower stuff on RedPower airships. Simples! Oh, and the door will cause problems. Once the airship's moved some, the game has no idea where to put it.

Okay, can you provide a screenshot?

This ain't really a discussions thread, I mean, posting once is pretty much average. Doesn't matter how far apart the posts are.

As far as using computers for airships go, the RP2 computer is waaay more powerful and versatile. And hey, the bundled cable is designed to work with frames. Nuclear reactors work, but storing the power doesn't.

They look like space bears.

I see what you did there. Twice.

Failed. Go and read all of the stickies, then try again.

While that's true, and is a mantra the internet should live by... I don't know what the hell you've been smoking.

Better not be Babestation. So hey, TV sucks. New media FTW. Watch everything online illegally until media companies take their heads out of their arses, make everything free for everyone, then have premium rate advertising and referrals. I've recently been mooching my way through Castle (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1219024/), and am having a pretty good time doing it. I like detectivey things, but waaaay too many take themselves seriously. It was good to see this, a savvy, self aware, but still faithful to both science and the genre (tricky in practise, trust me) show making it's way to the UK a while ago. But they never aired the next two series. Movies wise, just watched the new Batman. Nearly lived up to the last one in scope, scale and drama but (SPOILER) I didn't like the fact he had to start up yet again half way through. Should've been split into two parts. I'm not going to be a dick up the butt and show you where I get things illegally, and I would like to keep this thread clean of such links, but... What're you watching, and why is it awesome?

Party I'm off to on the 31st is themed 'Superheroes and Supervillains'. I'm stoopid enough to take suggestions from you lot, but otherwise I will also post pics. (Yes, I will comply with data protections laws too, if you're feeling like a troll today)

Let's face it, such a video would need to be popular enough that it gets enough traffic that isn't from people looking for it...

It's all a RUSE. Or so it looks from here. Remember there was all that hype and permajizzing about that strategy game for the consoles that was meant to be so revolutionary yet was totally mediocre? Yeah, well here it is on the platform it deserved, and it's a tour de force that deserved better marketing. It's fantastic and could be a staple diet for the RTS fan for years yet. Here's why. RTS games in general have been swaying away from that whole 'base building' nonsense in recent years, in favour of getting players into the heart of the action, making tactical choices. World In Conflict anyone? Now that was groundbreaking, for sure. And it was damn pretty. But things have moved on, and WEE (haha) has taken up the banner for the genre in style. So first, how it looks. At first I was bombarded and given epilepsy and died due to the game scoping out my system to see the point at which it fails, resulting in the fan going bats and the screen flickering like crazy. And then I was treated to nice pretty real time vistas, so hooray. The menu screwed with my head for a sec. Getting it off of Steam means no manual to browse through while the thing installs (I miss that so much), and finally seeing all of these teeny tiny butans in the corners of the screen á la Wargame (moviefilm) with abbreviated writing kinda bowled me over. I wandered into a screen filled with all this unit data, and my brain asploded. Not nice. Oh, and then I found the 'SOLO' button and found a game to play, which was nice. Really pretty game. And the detail is harrowing. Set in Cold War Europe, the weapons systems and stats are meticulously researched. Thank fuck we never had a Hot War. So, I blundered into a nice intro movie about defecting Germans, and waltzed into a game playing as Germans. What kinda of twisted universe is this where my Allied tutorial has me playing as a faction every other game vehemently instructs me to kill? Oh well, her we go. Oh wat. I'm killing more Germans. Those nasty East side Germans. But then I ran into some Brits, so that was all cool. The game controls are fantastically fluid. Everything you need to do the most complex manoeuvres are actually on the screen whenever you select a unit. Special abilities, munitions allocation, fire rates, merging, loading, unloading. Be as brash or calculated as you want, this game will fit you like a glove. Gameplay itself involves mostly putting your command vehicles into capture zones. These zones are rather vague, so it's nice to see objectives ending up very dynamic as enemy command vehicles could be bloody anywhere in a 10 square mile box. Add player placed, cappable FOBs (Forward Operating Bases) resupplying passing forces into the mix, and you have no two games the same. Entering your own units into the battlefied requires you to have command vehicles in the fringe capture zones, plus reinforcement points gathered from holding your capture zones. Which nicely leads me on to this games biggest strengths. Multiplayer and the Decks. What's a Deck? It's a set of unit cards, that you spend command points completing multiplayer games or any objective in solo play, which you can take with you into games and bring into the battlefield. It's super handy for new players to learn winning combinations of units and buy them into their deck, ready to just deploy them all. This is why the game remains an RTS, rather than Real Time Tactics. You have to plan way in advance, before even entering the damn lobby. Oh and lobbies are cool. If you make a game and no one joins, or the players you get are duff (or actual Germans), then you can just bring up the servers list and bitch them out straight away. Host migration is very very very smooth. But don't worry about leaving your beloved team behind, the reinforcement points get scaled accordingly, meaning then game can compensate all the way for a fair 7v1. I've done it already, and it's intense. So there we go, I'm tired and I want to play more. If anyone feels I'm missed something here, just shout it out so peeps can see! As of the time of writing, the Focus weekend deal on Steam includes a bunch of other cool games for the same price as WEE (lol) go check it out, and hope to rush you with the SAS sometime.

Although TerraFirmaCraft is totally incompatible with everything evar, I heard on the grape vine that that was one of the authors having discussions for inclusion into the launcher.

So here it is... the first glimpse at that 'something special'. About a month later. Problem is, I'm still working out the kinks with the installer and other gubbins.

Moogle's musical magnet found this thread. Here - have this one on me http://soundcloud.com/thedarthmoogle I take 40 guineas and sixpence a week, plus tax. Just get back in touch with me on these here forums if you're interested :D

Pam's mods are definitely super groovy. Pretty sure it's SMP too. But hey, half of these are already in both packs, and the others have already been suggested :D

There's a bit of a tussle going on what with the new continent up. Just wait till tomorrow, then they'll have a patch up that should mean you can waltz right in and start shooting stuff. Provided you go NC of course. And use your damn microphone.

Necroposting of this magnitude has not been seen for a while. I hope you are happy. Did you seriously not see the 'GETTING SIDELINED' deal? Anywho, whyfor this project got cancelled is still ongoing, but I have plans to resurrect this when the time is right. But that would certainly need a new thread. And less of my head crammed up my arse.
