Successfully landed on the Mun for the first time in Kerbal Space Program! Feel a little bad for the poor little astronaut who has no fuel to go home...

This game is the shit though!

I was checking that out the other day...couldn't decide if it was worth the dl though. Might have to try it now.


currently playing MineZ. It's like crack....but I haven't donated so I get kicked from the server when I die and don't get any achievements

FTL is hard! Even on easy... I hate it when my ship gets boarded.

Wut's yr handle on BF Achy?

Either :|SD|: Achtane or 1960's Batman.
I used to be in a clan like...seven years ago; it was for the Battlefield Pirates mod, a real tight-knit community. We were never serious, but that's where I met the e-bros I still play with today. We do have a BFP server again though!

Door upgrades are great, man. If someone boards, immediately pause and open whatever doors you need to direct the vacuum into their room and choke those fuckers to death. Doesn't even cost any power. If they don't die outright they'll be low enough that killing them is no problem. Just make sure they don't get your door controls or 02 or you're gonna be in trouble.
If your entire ship is depleted of oxygen, you can put 3 people in the medbay and it'll keep them at whatever their current health is.

For this run tonight I'm going all weapons, shields and evasion, with the second layout of the default ship. Not worrying about boarding, cloaking, whatever else. I NEED TO KILL THIS BOSS.
Unfortunately I almost never find any weapons anyway...but...gotta try. If I want missiles, I never find 'em...if I want weapons I only find crew members. Oh well. I'm so tired of getting to the flagship and not even being able to keep its shields down.
Cloaking is SUPER handy for dodging its ultra attack things though...

hurm. so..... it's neat playing a Mario game on a 60 inch screen at 1080. good stuff. but this giant controller is silly so far. might be neat when they figure out interesting applications for it, but on this game it just shows exactly what the tv does. which is weird.

it'd be so awesome if they did a gritty ass and/of throwback Zelda game soon. GIMME.

[My name is Mudd]

I've only seen the ads for it on the tele, but that controller looks like the offspring of a TV remote and a dinner plate.

dood. it is BIG. it feels ok for me, but i have pretty large hands. lol. they make an xbox style controller too. might grab one of those if i end up with a few games i like.

'm off to see what's announced to come out soon.

Thanks for the tips! I'm slowly learning and getting better, slowly, lol. I also hate fires on the ship. Those piss me off. The worst is when your sensors get knocked out and then shit catches on fire (from enemy bombardment) and you can't see where the fire is on your ship at first. And I hate losing crewman to random choices on the pick a) or b) scenarios, lol.

There's the free demo if you fancy that, although it's a much, much earlier build so it's missing more than half the parts. Gives you an idea for the thing for free, but honestly this game is amazing, plus it's still being updated for the foreseeable future.

They should have named it the M13 Modeler Controller.

I KEEP DYING IN FTLLLLLLL
Zoltan ship's awesome, apart from the sucky layout. That shield saves your ass in storms and missile salvos, and the halberd beam's still fairly useful later on.
Getting attacked by a landing drone is the WORST. Instant breach in a room and they have like a million HP...thankfully the boss seems to love flinging them at me, there were two at once last time. If I have to take a guy away from weapons or shields, they're no longer useable and I'm fucked.

[futuresailors]

so. hawt.

[behndy]

Early gift exchange with the wife netted me both of these:






Cel-shaded Japanese art games eff tee dubz!

Also, I've literally never received two video games at once before.

hawt INDEED.

lemme know how Muramasa is. i need more 'Tendo GAMES.

Randomly bought the Orange Box for $10 on steam, haven't played HL2 in years and last time it was on my ps3.

Might as well do it right. Seriously, the game still holds up.
