Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Oh, [chat] is a place on Earth.

Mark Millar writes some heinous, awful shit (Wanted, Kick-Ass)
but he also wrote Red Son
Don't watch Voyager.
It was very odd. I didn't realize it until after the fact but I did what folks do when they take a drag of a cigarette for the first time after a long break. Head back. Eyes closed. Everything in its right place.
Forgot to mention this.
nothing good comes of it
Voyager and Enterprise are turds

First Contact shortly before DS9's "In Purgatory's Shadow"
Insurrection at some unspecified time during the DS9's seventh season.
Nemesis two years after Voyager returns.
what're you going to be doing now?
they are also terrible
a lot of people give First Contact a pass but it's a shitty movie too
Yeah, I didn't realize this, and the unexplained uniform change for In Purgatory's Shadow was an odd moment.
None of his normal sins are in the film.
Pre-order it and tell us more, Sarks!
Personally, not into 4X all that much, it's a cool concept i am just too dumb to appreciate.
Like CCGs? Check my CCG's Thread in CF and help me playtest it!
starting to find it really difficult to believe that the universe isn't aware of us in some way.
this is heartening to hear, thom
i'll probably still pass on seeing it theatrically, but that's good to know

basically Civ / Master of Orion 2 style games
I am going to spend the morning making food for families of sick kids
yay
Explore, expand something, something.
I prefer to think of them as genocide simulators.

skippy: this is bullshit, i'm no man's- or sick kid's- slave!
*throws patties everywhere*
That is basically the reason I don't like them, in a nutshell. I could try to write a long post explaining what I hate about them, but it will end up with someone summarizing it as "Pony it sounds like you hate these games because you're bad at them", and that's basically correct.
So, they're just not for me. Some people can't do high-reflex FPS games, they're just awful at them and find them vexatious to play and shouldn't bother. That's how I am with 4X.
I just realized I could skip the final today and still get a B in the class (it's non-cumulative and he drops the lowest exam because this class is softball as fuck).
So that takes a lot of the burden off my shoulders.
how would we view it if say Greece waged a 5000 year long war on the world, burning and subjugating one rival civilization at a time until they controlled the globe
All of my wars are poorly planned endless quagmires.
I would say people would treat First Contact better if it was its own movie. Which is to say, if this was a seperate universe in which a Space Captain travels back in time to do battle with his nemesis while dealing with the time they violated him on every possible level one can be violated, that would be peachy keen.
However by tying it to the series and ignoring where the series went with how Picard dealt with said violation, that causes an uncanny vally-esque reaction to this guy on the screen. He's not quite the guy we've come to know for seven years and a movie that treats a pop culture like a redshirt.
I know right?
I've had games in Civ where I have been trading units in battle with another empire from the classic era to the modern era.
Just thousands of years of ceaseless war.
Jacob and I both loved it. And while the trailers didn't do a lot for me, the film was much better.
No emo, lots of organic fight seqences, and a sense of scale. It's worth a look on the big screen.
ArmA looks fantastic. It reminds me of Raven Shield which is still one of my all time favorite gaming experiences. One question though. . .
are they fighting AI or another team?
I dunno man, weren't you bitten in the ass by such things before? Wouldn't it be safer to take the test anyway, even if you get a shitty score?
