Facing down dogmen and post apocalyptic hypothermia, thats how I would want to go out.
Bare feet, no shirt, all man.
I rolled up on a bad mother with two hardened spears in hand, he shot me in the shoulder, I was stunned, then I hit him with a flurry attack, and knocked him out. I looted him, then finished him off so I could take his pants and use his scope to fashion an eyepiece to compensate for my myopia.
"He has a chainsaw arm that can kill you in one hit..."
Mhm mhm game design. It's weird when you see people make an incredible game like RE4 and then their other titles make it look like a fluke. The Hitman series feels like this, too.
(RE4 of course also had chainsaws that could instakill you, but those dudes were way more manageable than that thing in the video.)
Teach me to come to the tavern for advice on staying sober!

Sold! Any DLC worth picking up?
I'd say no. There's only one story DLC (Cold, Cold Heart) and it's not particularly interesting. It sections off the map to about one half of what it is normally, doesn't give you much to do in said map, and the one boss battle included is the poor man's version of a fight done better in City. Some of the areas look neat covered in ice and Batman gets a cool suit (hur hur puns) but I can't really recommend it.
The other "story" DLC (Initiation) is really just a grouping of challenge maps with brief intro pieces. Those maps are pretty neat, honestly, but the DLC does a poor job of presenting its content. If you like Challenge Maps give it a go. Otherwise, pass.
The other Season Pass items are skins. Most of them... aren't great.
You people are going to be the death of me; it's getting to the point where I wake up earlier to just get caught up with the reading.
Anyway. It looks like Wasteland 2 is out for reals. Time to fire 'er up and see how many bugs I come across. And I ain't talking about the giant irradiated scorpions.

I never noticed it? I have had zero issues during all these posts?

Seems like a weird time to do it if they really wanted to get attention. It's the middle of the night in America.
But other times I just want to fire missiles like crazy and blow shit up in a stylish manner. Vector Thrust looks ideal for this, and thanks to @Viking I now have a copy of my very own. Thanks a lot dude! JETS FOR THE JET THRONE!
Wait. That wasn't a dream. Those were maps by @ueakcrash! And they were so awesome. Good times everyone.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTHEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr FUCKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Edit, and CC:GM keeps crashing after I commit several high risk airdrops from VTOLs in the middle of a snowstorm while staying in telemetry range of my carrier.
I've finally encountered an enemy carrier and chased them into the sea. Game could have been better with more ships to round out my battlegroup and theirs, with enemy captains cursing me with their last breath......
Are there any good naval games where I lead my battlegroup and the enemy curses me over the radio with their last breath? Anime like or like THE LAST SHIP

Hell yeah man. It's always fun showing those maps to people who haven't seen it yet. We play every Friday around 8pm-ish, so you should join us again!
Also check out my YouTube channel in my signature for my serious business maps, too! Plug plug plug.
Also we totally have an active TF2 thread in se++, just saying!
I took this one. Thank you!
I can has cheezburger, yes?
I think maybe halfway. At least as far as working through the archipelago. The problem now is you've got the enemy carrier striking at your islands so you've got to go on both the offensive and the defensive.
Honestly I didn't get much past that point in the 360 version.
You're dead right about the FPS section on Fulcrum, though. It's so much better, primarily because it's so much more open.
As good as that sounds, it wouldn't be Carrier Command. It would be too far out of the realms of the original game.

So... go play it.
I picked up FFXIV a ways back when it was having a good sale at Amazon. I played for the free month then stopped.
Why you may ask? Because I felt the gaping maw opening beneath my feet. The game struck so many of the FF/JRPG buttons for me, I knew that if I didn't stop cold turkey, it's all I'd wind up playing.
The visual aesthetic is fantastic. Gameplay is a well balanced combo of timed button pushing and character movement. Crafting is a deep dark cavern with a siren lurking at the bottom who's call I can still feel in my bones.
Folks who have played it longer might have different opinions. My main char didn't make it to that high of a level, and I played before housing and a bunch of other stuff got put in.
I could have nostalgia goggles on, but it seemed like RE5 moved at a quicker pace. My co-op partner and I just finished Chapter 2 of Leon's campaign (the first one we're doing) and it just sort of seems to drag on.
I am looking for my sympathy function, but it appears to have been completely disabled recently for some reason. Internal data banks contain no information on cause, but the word "Isy" was found scrawled in crayon on an empty pizza box next to the lead programmer's empty chair. Investigation to follow.
Let me attempt to emulate the function for your benefit, however:
"The gift-a-pult is out of order? Awww. Rats. Shucks darn."
Was that convincing?
:P
It's been a long time since I was able to play anything actively and regularly. I think that day will come in about 6 years (I hope).
I'll keep Fridays reserved then for Team Fortress 3 though.
Man, what would the next iteration of Team Fortress even look like? Maybe they just don't need another one.
The only function this thread needs is basically this:
I took a character all the way to 50, and completed the story, so I'm kind of "done" now, but up until that point... man....
Did I mention the homemade pie that is likely to result as well?
I can has cheezburger, yes?
Outland is hitting Steam at the end of the month. Another one of the few console smaller games comes over. Just need Shadow Complex now.
We're doing that this weekend. Tonight I'm celebrating "put pumpkin in goddamn near everything" season while playing Hawken. Got some Pumpkinhead Ale and Pumpkin Woodchuck cider ready for the evening.
On Hawken - do folks generally go keyboard/mouse or is it playable with a 360 controller?
Apple picking next weekend for me (and pumpkins too).
This is the best time of year. The best.
