Games / Pirates Online

« on: March 06, 2010, 11:05:15 AM »

Pirates Online is an MMORPG/Beat 'Em Up. You're a sailor looking for fame and fortune, along with the notorious Jack Sparrow. Explore the vast world around you, and defeat Royal Navy Guards, Skeleton Warriors, and collect gold.

TIPS:

• Stay away from large Skeleton Warrior ships, they are very dangerous and lurk around the islands of Padres Del Fuego.
• If you do get a sloop, get a crew, it's not suitable to sail alone.

It is recommended that you get a Skype account. If you currently add one, please add Comatose.

Current players:
Skip - Skipreth
Tokthree - Tokthree
Comatose - Roger Flanders
Madmitten - Madmitten
Skill4Life - Zuijj Saberith
Daedalus - Davy Goldskull

We have a meeting place in Tortuga, called the Faithful Bride pub. If an invasion occurs, we have an alternate meeting location in Port Royal. That is Fort Charles.

Games / My L4D2 Poem.

« on: March 05, 2010, 10:04:54 PM »

I wrote a poem about L4D2, I felt like sharing it.

Exit the saferoom, load your shotgun. Don't even look back, 'cause there's a charger on your tail.
No help from CEDA; They probably got the pathogen, that caused all this mess.
Fire your Pistol, throw your Molotov; Don't even look back.
There's obviously, a Jockey ready to attack.
As you load your SMG, note this one thing; It's New Orleans..or bust.
With Coach, Ellis, Nick and Rochelle, get ready to raise some hell.

Tell me what you think.

An 8.8 earthquake struck Coastal Chile last night, and now it's set perfect conditions for tsunamis in the Pacific area. Tsunami warnings have been issued to the state of Hawaii, parts of the American Somoa, and other regions. Discuss.

Games / Split/Second

« on: February 23, 2010, 07:38:17 PM »

I just saw this game on the Disney site, which they're developing with Black Rock. The game is based around a reality TV show, where you must race other competetors to the finish through a city prone to fires, explosions, and the occasional building collpases, and this can all happen with one turn of the wheel. Currently, the game is set for this May and is coming out on the PS3, X360, and Computer platforms. I would look into this game, but it looks awesome, even for a Disney game.

Games / Shattered Horizon Free Weekend on Steam.

« on: February 20, 2010, 08:58:36 AM »

I came on Steam and discovered that Shattered Horizon was in my games list, but I had never bought it, never got it gifted, or never got a guest pass. I'm guessing it's a free weekend. It's installing now, so later I'm gonna try it out. If you guys wanna join me just holler.

Suggestions & Requests / Biohazard Suit Decals

« on: February 16, 2010, 06:07:54 PM »

I was wondering if people could make a gas mask face and a biohazard suit as a decal, that was transparent. I'd think it would be pretty cool.

Games / SOCOM: FTB3

« on: February 14, 2010, 08:33:19 PM »

I just played the demo, and it was awesome. The cutscreen cinematics were great, and the dubbing seemed almost perfect. The sound quality is excellent. When you shoot within an interior, the sound echoes around the room. It also has cooperative online play, like L4D, so you can complete the campaign with your friends. New weapons, new multiplayer gamemodes such as CTF, new multiplayer maps, and total improvements on everything from FTB2. It also highlight's in the crosshair area by marking the areas the bullet hit the enemy with a small x. I'm getting this game. And the AI is not braindead. They will shoot at you, take cover, even throw grenades. Discuss.

Off Topic / Olympic luger killed in crash.

« on: February 12, 2010, 05:21:26 PM »

In Vancouver, during a practice run, a 21-year old luger from the country Georgia was killed after he had surpassed the retaining wall on one of the fastest courses in the world and hit an unpadded steel pole. He could not be revived by doctors, dying at a nearby hospital. This proves that the olympics can sometimes be more dangerous than you think.

Discuss.

Suggestions & Requests / Cessna Citation X

« on: February 11, 2010, 08:26:55 PM »

The fastest civilian aircraft with nearly a speed of Mach .92 and that's pretty damn fast. This is actually a beautiful aircraft, IMO. I'd like to see it made. So if it were made, it would have to surpass a stunt plane and a jeep in a single glance. It could also have the interior of a buisness class jet.

Games / Space Shuttle

« on: February 07, 2010, 02:39:16 PM »

It's a game made by Laminar Research, makers of X-Plane, for the iPod. I'm watching the shuttle take off, it's at mach 7. You can also dock with the ISS, make the full approach to Edwards, and much more. Pretty good for 1.99

Games / FPS Tips (For Novices)

« on: February 03, 2010, 09:32:06 PM »

I wanted to make a tips for FPS novices, so if you have a tip to contribute, shout it out.

Tip 1: Ok, I cannot stress this enough. DO NOT be a Han Solo, charging after groups of enemies. You will obviously be blown to bits. I've seen this a lot of times on WFC and PSN.

Tip 2: Save medkits until your health is half-way. Don't waste your medkits if you've only taken one shot and have only a little health gone. You'll just be hurting your chances of being able to recover from sniper fire in the lower extremities and such.

Tip 3: Be stealthy. This technically also applies to Tip 1.

Tip 4: Do not use full auto while scoping. I've doon this a bunch of times and I've missed the enemy, they scoped me, and they struck me in the temple. It also alters your view of the enemy through the scope, so if you are shooting for a headshot, it can offcenter your aim.

Currently, my performance score is 3.1 according to Windows Aero, which isn't good but it isn't bad. The 5.0 area is really good so I'm shooting for 4.5/5.0
