Star Control 2 is a timeless classic, amazing from start to finish. From the unique aliens (who didn't fall in love with the various aliens as you communicate (or try) with them? always loved the Orz in particular) and storyline to the fun combat dynamics -- Super Melee was a full game in itself which consumed untold hours upon hours of gameplay for me.

Super Melee

Star Control II: Super Melee (1080P)

Good times for sure.

Well I'm raising a glass for Volition and the Freespace series Cheers , it does sound like they had only become a shadow of their former selves (as many studios end up), but had many good times playing Freespace 1 & 2 and SR to a lesser degree so will be remembering those times.

Yeah I had a much rougher time with the latest (Pfizer bivalent) booster. Got it last Thurs. night and the next day or so had fairly bad chills (this much was similar to the other shots). Then felt basically fine for a few days, but the following Mon. night felt really sick, with sweats, chills, nausea all night long.. couldn't get any sleep at all. By the following night I was able to get some sleep again, but had general unwell feeling and little appetite all week. (fine way to lose 5 pounds I suppose)
Progressively feeling better the last few days, but I'll definitely be consulting my doctor before getting any further boosters. Hopefully they can reduce these side effects, or I think they'll have a tough time getting people to continue to get them on any kind of regular basis going forward.

So have people forgotten COVID is still a thing? My doc recommended I get another jab before summer, but I was unable to get one. None of the pharmacies had them or would make appointments for them. Finally the county health center here started taking appointments for the newly approved booster. They only do them on Thursday, so I've had to wait a few weeks until I had a free Friday in case it makes me feel like crap the next day. I'm hoping it doesn't, but if the trend continues I'll be down for half the day tomorrow. My first shot did nothing, the second I felt a little crappy for about half the next day. My third shot, like the second, put me down for half of the next day, but I felt much worse, had a low fever and some nausea.
Same here and had similar past reactions, so took off work tomorrow in case I'm down for awhile also.. but have some other plans if end up feeling fine after all.
Doing some traveling in Nov., so wanted to get the new booster before then, but other than that don't see much concern these days.

Last year sometime my Firefox got corrupted and wouldn't load, went through multiple full uninstalls/reinstall, cleaning registry, etc. and could never get it fully working again. Been using Vivaldi since then, and quite happy so definitely give it a shot if you want a change. I do also use Brave when I'm playing a lot of videos on Youtube as it seems to handle videos the best.

Thanks for some of the suggestions, been looking for some more shmups to play.

Syder Arcade was in one of those Humble bundles years ago and quite enjoyed it:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/252310/Syder_Arcade/

I prefer when there are a few choices for difficulty since I'm not that great at shmups but do enjoy playing them.

Will definitely grab R-Type when it's released, this series is a classic.

*Looks over at Falcon 4.0 binder then back at the trailers*
Sorry not seeing anything that makes me think "Microprose is back"

Couple links with pics of the Falcon 4.0 binder/contents -- pretty sure we'll never see these types of games/packages again which is a shame:

Long time lurker here, but just wanted to agree with others who said please add a one time donation option as I'm not interested in adding more monthly payments on my CC.
Also like the idea of merchandise like shirts, etc. and would definitely order some items there to help the site.

Hopefully we'll see the site continue for many more years.

Wasn't MOO originally called Star Lords? I'm sure that is an intentional bit of homage. Of course they are setting themselves up for a rather large backlash if they put out a shoddy game.
It is an okay teaser trailer, not sure the graphics/gameplay look very compelling.
4X games seem almost impossible to get right these days so good luck to them, I'll be waiting for reviews when it makes it to market.

Anyone bought any bundles from Groupees?
They have a bundle type sale going for some shooters which seems like a good deal but haven't heard of them before.

Don't bother with the deluxe version. Get the regular one. There is literally nothing in the deluxe version that's worth paying money for.

Yeah I'm going to stick with the regular version for sure. Will be pulling the trigger on the GMG deal soon. (Thanks nin!)

Anyone spot any good deals on Guild Wars 2? I'm finally thinking of grabbing it but haven't been able to find any good deals.
I may jump on that Digital Deluxe deal on the Guild Wars site but would rather get the regular/digital version if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Was amazed years ago when I saw the first teaser for this but I admit I basically forgot about it over the years. Nice to see it finally released.

Any word on when it's coming out on Steam? I have enough else to keep me busy ATM and I'd rather have it updated automatically/etc on Steam.

Not sure why the drop is an issue for so many -- as nutshell42 said there has been rules for air/orbital drops in Battletech long before MW ever came out. (and yes they don't use regular JJs, not what they were made for)

Lack of actual gameplay footage is a much better gripe since we all know a pretty trailer doesn't mean a good game.

Looks like it could be fun.
Glad to see there will be a demo, helps greatly in deciding whether to buy or not these days with so many games to play.

Has anyone tried Steel Storm and have thoughts on it?
Been ages since I've played a top-down shooter but looks decent from the videos I've seen. Any other games in a similar style worth playing?

Decided to grab the new demo for ARMA II:Operation Arrowhead and it is much more polished than the old demo was. Think I will be grabbing that Amazon deal.
I was reading a post about the DLC and they recommended if you bought from Amazon/(non-steam) that you could buy the DLC directly from Bohemia Interactive at http://store.bistudio.com/
