    Supreme commander is great but it's hard to let go of my mentality that units are disposable and losing 15-20 tanks in an engagement is totally Ok.

    Probably my fave pick if my sale buys so far

    You only lost 15-20 tanks in an engagement? Hell son, you are probably the most brilliant commander the game has ever seen if that's all you've lost in an engagement.

    Most losses are in the triple digits.

    I don't think I'll get Rome 2 for a while. It looks like they might have overcomplicated things a bit. Also I'm a bit Romed out.

    I'm only half way through the 2nd mission of the UEF campaign so I tend to just roll over the enemy with a tidal wave of T1 tanks. The cybrans in the last mission just got straight up shot to buggery before they could do any real damage.

    Still have a 66% off coupon for Awesomenauts if anyone would like it that expires in less that 10 hours from now. I also picked up a 75% off coupon for Krater that I can't play if anyone would like that as well.

    My Steam file migration to my larger drive went well. Only complications was the first hard drive I got was DOA when I tried to install it and had to exchange for a working one and I had to un/reinstall my Star Wars Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series games (oddly KOTOR worked fine).

    so thank you a ton Rolo but the issue has persisted after a new psu

    the speed fan ratings are the same for voltage so maybe the mother board is dead or the ram

    guess I could just get a new mobo cpu and ram and hey look i accidentally build a new computer

    Now that I kind of understand DOTA I'm more than a bit psyched to watch the tournament! It helps that this week is going to be my week off between jobs.

    having once again achieved successful manned orbit in KSP I am now attempting to launch an unmanned probe into munar orbit

    unfortunately this has proven repeatedly disastrous, forcing the cancellation of the Dongs-Hotel project and restarting using the highly successful Dongs-Alpha series of probes. (the Dongs-Delta and Dongs-Echo series represent troubled but ultimately functional manned spacecraft. Dongs-Bravo and Dongs-Charlie have been erased from all public record.)

    I didn't know you were doing the whole NATO alphabet thing at first and thought you were building some sort of Dong Hotel in space and was pretty excited

    The issue with the Supreme Commander campaign is that this (and similar alternatives) is essentially the only viable strategy. It's really quite tedious.

    that would be the short-lived Dongs-Gamma space station project

    Dongs-Gamma-1 and -2 are craters in the antarctic

    Dongs Gamma-3 is on an extended tour of solar orbit

    Check under settings to see if you're still signed up for the Steam Client Beta... if so.. uncheck it. At least, that's what fixed it for me.

    Awww, did I miss the three posts this year about Rome: Total War? Because I have been playing way too much of it these past few months. I realize I'm probably in the minority, but of all the Total War games, it's by far my favorite - mostly because of its relative simplicity. Maybe I do want a game where I can completely break the economy in 20 turns.

    The @Fyndir I Space Probe is now in orbit around Kerbal

    it's not a perfect circle, but I did have the foresight to equip it with a docking port for refueling

    next step: sending little green man into orbit

    and back down safely

    I think my manned space ship is going to depend on a jet engine platform system

    Stage
    Low altitude jets are employed, until reaching optimal altitude for turbo jet engines

    Stage
    High altitude jets kick in, and when they reach max power the low altitude jets will be ejected

    Stage
    When high altitude jets reach the optimal height I aim the craft straight up, eject the jet engines, and activate the solid rocket booster to help me clear the atmosphere

    Stage
    Once atmosphere is broken, I will begin to assume orbit and eject solid fuel rockets when they are spent
    Liquid fuel is activated, and orbit will be achieved

    Then after that I'm (hopefully) going to have a system worked out where I can re-enter atmosphere land land that sucker on the runway

    I will not lie to you Dubh, space places are more touchy than standard rockets.

    They are also far more awesome and I heartily endorse it.

    I'm stubborn when it comes to these things

    noted about the touchiness

    I'll have to do research on how to balance the handling

    because my probe is a touch sensitive even with the RCS on

    Your designs named after me are doing better at this game than I ever have.

    Man

    reading the OP there and a bit of the website is kind of off putting

    because of how hard they are trying to sell it "Ohhhhh maaaan guys! We are being completely original and exciting. and we can't even tell you what we're like because the other guys are gonna steal all our shit!" and it is all stuff we've all heard so many times before
