Vidya games!!

Prototype 2... I can't. I would like to know who thought that the ending was a good idea.

Spoiler:

He's like... in my top 5 favorite video game characters!!! ;___;

I HATE HATE HATE how evil they made him. That thing was NOT my Alex! >_____<

Prototype 2 never happened. Now I can't wait for summer vacation to start so I can play Prototype again. <3

Finished ME1, moving on to ME2. (I hat the second one)
Had a funny moment when I finished the roamnce subplote with (Sm)Ashley, she said "I like bold." My character was bald, she was makin' fun of me .
Oh, yeah, my reason for posting in the first place, apparently there's going to be a Far Cry 3. the basic plot is that you are escaping from some islands. Which is such a change from escaping the tropical islands from the first three games, as opposed to Far Cry 2 which was set somewhere different (war-torn African country).

Gearing up to play Diablo III, I can't wait. That said, I probably won't get my new computer until a week after release date. Damn you cruel world!

Yes, I too await Diablo III. Seems like it's taken forever...

...probably because it has.

I can't believe it's been about 12 years. That's 12 whole seasons of Top Gear.

Well, I seen the third ME3 ending

Spoiler:

Oh yeah... Raiden

That's because it was from the era where you weren't supposed to be able to finish it... you were supposed to keep feeding 20c pieces into the machine until you ran out and went to beg your parents for more.

And you only got three lives

i`m totaly addicted to Raiden! the good thing is i don`t have to fill my puter withe 20c`s

Ok, if someone did an Honorverse version of this I'd be all over that like a fat kid on a cupcake.

Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator

Back... to the Mansion!

The best video game classic of all time. Just played took out and played it yesterday.

@Alfisti: I call dibs on tactical!

It seems like it could be an awesome concept, if done correctly... but if not handled correctly, it could be a horrible chore... probably best applied with a group of people who know each other well, and are committed to playing/practicing fairly often.

Fine by me, I'll have the con.

I actually did think about it a bit more later, and agree: unless you had a "crew" willing to practice and drill on a regular basis, not to mention follow set plans, it could be an incredibly frustrating experience. Doubly so for a Harrington simulator where the tactical environment is, umm... somewhat more complex... than the more Star Trek style combat the simulator seems to be base on and less able to be "seat of the pantsed".

That said, the bridge makeup would probably be different as well. You could do away with the science officer and probably communications as well (because, lets be honest here... EVERYONE wants the tactical slot). I reckon you'd need a captain, astrogation, helm (possibly rolled into one if you were short people), engineering, a tactical officer and probably an ATO as well (and maybe even an EWO)... unless of course you feel like trying to manage attack birds and point defence all on your lonesome.

The Denver chapters of a Star Trek club I am a member of did something like this at a con. They build a Federation and a Klingon bridge set and networked it all together so you could battle each other. Loads of fun.

Hrm... Astro and Helm could/would be the same thing (Hope they've boned up on their maths! ), with the probability of having an EWO, and Commo would possibly still be needed, depending on circumstances (have to let those filthy pirates know that they're buggered! ).

But yeah, any sort of Saganami Island Bridge Simulator mod would have to be a SERIOUS alteration of the core programming, simply due to the greater amount of missiles being used, to say nothing of the impeller wedge-based warfare.

And yet.... and yet, I can ALMOST see how it could be done...

Pirates...

You set it up as the bridge of the Bentenmaru and I'm in.

Yeah, the GUI definately looked like it could use some work. Had the taste of "by computer people, for computer people".

I think EVERYONE had better bone up on their maths to run an Honor sim. Maybe if you were short handed you could roll the Commo and Engineering slots up into one? Lets face it, generally one tends to be busy when the other isn't... at least for single ship engagements. An EWO would be pretty much essential if you wanted to run later-war battles, but to be honest I think it would be best handled initially during the early First Havenite War. To be frank, if you tried to run an engagement between podnaghts the whole system would probably just give in and crash.
