I'm not really bothered by the fail ending being canon in XCOM 2. Hell, you see that all the time in sequels to games with choose-your-own-ending things.

They also managed to grow a lovely pair of mammaries for... their snake babies I guess?

Did anyone else get a serious Apocalypse-like vibe from the trailer?

SS was good save for the ungodly amount of time civilian turns took and the usual hillarity of eastern european games.

Apparently they lost a lot of their team and cut out a lot of stuff so it looks like the project has been scaled down to a more manageable size as befits a smaller team.So I played through Project Brazil's first act last night. It was really well done.Damn it. Everytime someone mentions that mod I get excited for a moment thinking that it has been updated.

A tense retrofuturistic survival-horror-esque game where you are a government agent sent to the moon to take control of a hippy-controlled moonbase that sits on some valuable mcguffin.
Basically Alien:Isolation or Routine but with hippies.

I'd say it feels more like Dark Souls. More fluid than Skyrim, but not as fluid as Shadow of Mordor.

Using squat designs for landers also helps considerably with landing woes.

Speaking of asteroidal habitats, how exactly does one go about creating those?

Well, the ship editor is just as fun (if not more so) as it was in GalCiv2. I have just spent the better part of two hours designing my first small-sized gunboat. Fun times.

« on: May 13, 2015, 06:38:31 am »Wow, okay. I think the game hates me. I'm on my return trip from my first minmus flyby, when suddenly, without any thrust at all, I get a Mun encounter that sends me into a Kerbin escape trajectory.Gravity assists are potentially incredibly fun.
I honestly don't even know how that's possible.

Kerbal space program. It's rough, but it teaches you a lot of things about rocketry and orbital dynamics.

Anyone else feel like the matches take too long? They really feel slow. Other than that, I've been having dreadful lag for reasons beyond my understanding and the enemies feel horribly bullet-spongey.
It's a fun game but boy can a pitched battle between 3-4 ships on either side just drag on.

« on: April 17, 2015, 12:31:40 pm »As far as I know they have a landing complex in Florida, where launches from the Kennedy Space Centre will land. I'm not sure if the landing complex is complete though.Yeah I heard they want to launch from Texas and recover it at Florida or somesuch?It's mostly the latter. The gov't won't let them land on land before they are capable of demonstrating the precision needed to avoid a catastrophe (which seems unlikely given that most launch sites are far away from major urban centers). SpaceX are right now in the process of getting a permission to attempt their next recovery on land.Why not...I donno... a parachute and some flotation bouys? That's gotta weigh less and be cheaper than a few tons of rocket fuel and still allows recovery.
Ideal would be to land the rocket on land but the launch point and earth's rotation make that difficult and you really don't want a big rocket full of fuel coming down at a populated area.
They also have a launch site and landing complex on the west coast, in Vandenberg. They are going to launch a rocket from there this summer and that's supposed to have a ground landing as well.
Personally, I don't think they'll use the barge for anything other than these demonstration missions and maybe a falcon heavy core landing. Too much wind and wave motion to keep the stage upright even if it lands fine. Unless the weather is absolutely perfect (no strong winds, low waves et cetera).
