And when I think of Team Fortress Classic, I think of the pale imitation of proper qwtf

Who?

No battle royal mode, no sale.

Took a long time to download at 14.4kbps, but was well worth it!

38 year old man, who has never seen any of Star Wars!? STONE HIM! :o

He must have a fairly strong dislike of sci-fi to have completely avoided any of the films for so long, so of course he finds very little to like. But yes, stone him, I agree

I feel sorry for all the people coming up, who will only be able to (easily) see the shitty cgi Greedo Shoots First versions. Then again we all had to suffer through 7, 8, 9 so maybe it doesn't really matter. :|

Although obviously not a available to your casual first time viewer, Harmy's Despecialized Editions are the way to go. It’s what I’m showing my boy now he’s old enough. The special editions are something he can be disappointed by when he’s older.

I do feel that with the forore around the Disney films people have forgotton just how bad the prequels were. I mean the the new ones are bland studio churn with a Star Wars badge slapped on, but the writing and acting in the prequels is almost unwatchable.

I wanted space legs so you could disembark on space stations and meet people there, play space arcade minigames in space dive bars, etc.

Give a man the cosmos, and he'll go bar hopping!

The human mind has two tracks: booze and sex. Hopefully E:D will introduce brothels soon...

Yes!
1. Space legs
2. Space penises

Hmm, actually the game is full of those already.

These guys have got no idea, releasing the game and adding bits later. That’s not how you develop a space game.



Not that I’ve played it for years, but when I did, I wanted space legs so you could disembark on space stations and meet people there, play space arcade minigames in space dive bars, etc.

I still remember the demo from the first time round. It came on one of those revolutionary CD-ROM thingies.

That squirrel video is the best thing in quite a while. When I saw who it was I wondered how over-engineered it could get, turns out, NOT OVER-ENGINEERED ENOUGH + for squirrels at least.

30 years ago. God, I feel old.

Does DayZ still run on modified ArmA 2? I remember being surprised they didn’t switch to ArmA 3 when it went stand alone.

And didn’t Bohemia recently shut down the dev team responsible for it?

I’m still running the i7 system I built 8 years ago, and although I’m obviously behind modern performance, I rarely find myself craving more CPU performance - it might be nice, but not something I’ve got to have. I certainly couldn’t have said the same sort of thing in the previous two decades.

The worry used to be that they wouldn’t be able to keep increasing CPU performance, but now it might be that there aren’t enough people who actually want it.

Ninja goooooo!

Just remember you need to activate 2FA to grab a copy.

Unless, as fakespyder said, you get it using a browser.


I notice they give you a bunch of money for online too, 'cause the first taste is free...

Online is one of things that sounds like it should be good, but turns out to be a bit of a hollow experience. Then you realise you're playing out of habit rather than for fun.

But, hey, have a go at the race I made while you're there
(made before I realised that putting effort in gets you nowhere in the uncurated background noise of user created stuff)

the only thing that sits weird with me (and this is a super minor nitpick), is the blue border around usernames on posts

Yeah, that jumped out at me as well, but as you say, it's minor. And the badges for supporters are a big improvement over the filled in backgrounds.

The rainbow of buttons is just plain weird though. On one hand they jar heavily with the rest of the site scheme, and on the other hand I don't see what such wildly contrasting colours do for the usability of the site.

Although I can actually see the buttons on my iPad now - they'd been entirely invisible for a while.

Seems like a lot of effort, when there are far easier solutions.

So... no races?

I find the subheading/list style less readable on both PC and tablet.

Is there a reason the bullets couldn’t just be inserted into the old two column layout? Perhaps adding a bit more spacing between sections for readability. The bullets could also be styled as little blue arrows or something.
