You guys should check out Stellar Impact. It's DOTA, but IN SPACE! Less focused on creeps (however creeps can put out a lot of DPS) with additional tech trees and capture points compared to DOTA. Check it out! http://store.steampowered.com/app/207150/

Problem is it's made by Funcom. Age of Conan was a complete piece of trash (a gorgeous piece of trash, granted). My collector's edition AoC box does make a nice booster chair though. I will do my best to wait until after the game comes out before jumping in.

Somewhat surprised that there hasn't been a thread about this yet. I got in on monday when they released a few clients. A lot of the time it feels like a beta (which it more or less is), but the game has a lot of bright spots and is actually quite fun. I think they actually got the whole full loot stuff right. I was really excited about this but also skeptical (lolWoW). I haven't played much, maybe 3 hours, but it doesn't seem too gear dependent and getting more gear isn't too much of a problem. Combat is pretty interesting, but there is definitely a lot to learn about the game mechanics and such. Is no one interested in this or is it just that no one has been able to get an account?

I can forgive the fantasy setting as long as the PVP, griefing and epic tears that follow holds up. I agree that there are a metric ton of fantasy mmo's and most probably have more polish than this one. I don't really play them for their setting though, as stated above.

Has anyone successfully boarded an opposing ship? The game stopped responding again when I froze up. Either that or it's taking fucking ages to change to a different screen or something? Halp!

I've only had time to play through the first episode and then some of RTI. I got to the part where you're supposed to send naval units around to attack louisville. I engaged some frenchies and was about to board one of their ships when my game crashed Haven't had a chance to go back and see where my save game left me, but so far the game is fun. As long as I don't crash every time I board some dude this game should turn out to be quite epic. Also really looking forward to multiplayer campaign.

You're not bitter about it or anything though.

I'm tempted to get this but would want to get a racing wheel too. Anyone have any suggestions? Doesn't seem to be many options.

I know this is late and I have completely and blindly posted this so not sure if this has been answered, but that trash can looking thing you see on "telephone poles" (don't ever call them that in front of a transmission or distribution guy!! They're "power utility poles"!!) is a distribution transformer that steps down the voltage from a distribution-level voltage (several thousand volts) to a usable voltage for residential applications (i.e. 240/120V AC).

My brother came over this weekend and we played a bit, used my arcade stick from Soul Caliber 4. Worked alright, but I am amazingly awful at these games and could barely pull off kens most basic moves. Other than that I was just jump kicking -> tripping my brother over and over again until he started using zangief to dominate my ass. Zangief is terribly OP c/d?

You guys think my Soul Caliber 4 arcade stick will work well enough with SF4? I'm thinking not, looks like the button layouts are different.

Being triple DD'd isn't very exciting, so you're not missing out on much . I don't play with effects on so I never see the actual DD anyways lol. edit: hah, I lied its 4 weeks from sov 1 to sov 3. So make that 3 and half weeks of fun!

Yeah, if you click the sov changes tab at the top right you'll notice goons are under the 'biggest losers' @ 40 systems (second only to BoB lol) and they keep dropping sov 3 systems in feyth and other places. They have a titan cooking in T-A in Tenerifis that -A-/Nync's RA may be trying to screw. -A- is kinda rolling in behind them as their evacing from what I've heard.

Uhh, well ISK wise no, BNC lost about 15 Dreads and a few bil, the executor corp lost like 8 bil. So ~40-50 bil - long, long, long way from the largest heist in EVE history, and the dreads are very replaceable. The biggest hit was the drop in all our sov. I wouldn't say Sov 3 is around the corner - we have a very very long week and a half ahead of us to hold on to most of our systems. Several are very hotly contested and I think they hold POS superiority in one system with all moons covered (PL holds the towers). I don't know about the goons gaining x amount of systems. Their plan is to make their new home in delve and in order to try to avoid what happened last time they did this they are burning all bridges behind them so goons won't just go back to the safety of their home systems in detroid or tenerifis and mine and rat all day instead of being at the front. This is a huge gamble and a play I actually admire. Too bad their goons I'm still not sure where you're getting the numbers. I guess we have lost several systems if you count Querious and Period Basis, although we're still hanging on to Period Basis afaik. Not much has been going on there, most is directed at Delve. The north is planting towers (again) in Querious which they will quickly lose (again) if we hold onto Delve (again). One thing that's always impressed me with BoB/TAFKAB (The Alliance Formerly Known As BoB) is how awesome they are under pressure, and I'm still impressed being inside for 9 months now. Molle on TS is just as fucking cool and calm as you can get in even the most tense of situations, it's really great. Anyways, we should probably stop derailing this thread. I'd make a new post, but I think there's a good chance you and I are the only ones that would care about it lol!

lolwut?

Persuaded is hardly what happened. I am in BNC the corp that the defector came from and stole some stuff from. The guy basically said to goons 'hey I can do all this stuff, I'll do it if you accept me, hug me and be nice to me'. As goons always eloquently put it, welp. I actually really liked the guy who did it, he seems to have done a complete 180 in personality, but maybe not who knows. All we do know is that we're getting constant fights on our front door step and loving every second of it. The best part is if we do win, goons (and not to mention 9/10ths of EVE) will have no excuses for not killing us. Only another week and a half to kick us out before Sov 3 ticks in and we get cyno jammed systems with our >9000 titans. Lots of fun yet to come. *dons flame retardant suit* e: sorry I'm late lulz

New patch out. Basically I'm now screwed as I had a complete inability to produce tank killing shit mid-game and all vehicles just got a decent hp/damage reduction buff. Also, my shotgun scout back bone!

Day of Defeat: Source and before that some Civ 4 multiplayer. Throwback ftw.

Or it could be similar to ground zero of a post-nuclear-winter-future like 4chan. Full of mutants. yes that's a lot of hyphens

Shotgun scouts ftw. Also, due to my innate fear of anything different I've only really played the Space Marine Force Commander. My box is comfortable and I enjoy living in it.

There's a good possibility I was. Thanks for the pointers, I'll try to stop failing now.

Holy shit I can post! I have been having an absolute bitch of a time with this forum. I'd try to log in and all it'd do was ask me to sign in again. I think it has something to do with reCAPTCHA hating me, but I finally got it to work somehow whilst trying to PM Jake to tell him of my plight. So, rewinding to respond to some shit I've wanted to for the past week - Jake - you are more than welcome to think its cool and I guess coming from a supposed expert on making things that no one thinks about being made I take it as a compliment! About my EVE experiences - I'm currently in one of the two better known organizations from EVE, Band of Brothers (the other being our sworn enemies the goonies who hail from the SA forums). Before that I was in the Mercenary Coalition and before that I ran my own PVP corp. EVE is an awesome game, but very niche and if you don't want a second job (albeit an awesome job that you can't wait to get to that takes up all of your waking thoughts and most of your dreams) it's probably not for you. Also if you like WoW it's (probably) not for you. Also the skill training via time instead of xp is nice and it is true you don't have to be on and grind a lot, however if you want to make something your own in the sandbox that is EVE it tends to take a lot of commitment and effort. At the end of the day it's just pixels, but hey, you're proud of those pixels! So, I hope I can post tomorrow and look forward to partaking in the community.

Sup, I've been listening to the podcast for a few months now (albeit I'm still behind a few episodes). I'm an avid gamer in his twenties who is also avidly married. I play a lot of EVE-Online (read - 99% of my free time/it's a second job) while playing other games that come along on the side. Lots of L4D with interwebs friends, used to be a lot of DOTA before I pissed them all off with my awfulness. I've got a 360, but I don't play it enough as I should as PC is and always will be my primary source for gaymes. Right now it's acting as a glorified Netflix player (I was rudely interrupted from getting through Fable 2 by FO3 on my PC). I also have an iPhone which I've enjoyed using as a gaming platform as well, even if most of the time its a quick game of solitaire while dropping a deuce. I work as an Electrical Engineer at a consulting firm and mainly design power utility substations. That about does it. I really enjoy the podcast and look forward to talking games with peeps here.
