    New forum feature: Reactions!

    Oh no. Now I'm worried. By the way I forgot about this, last time I was in Indianapolis visiting a client, I got kinda lost and found this by accident: http://www.blindowlbrewery.com/

    Star Citizen content hits Reddit front page, and its not bad!

    Longer, safer, boring. Everyone needs a little excitement in their life, and you don't get that without taking some kind of risk.

    Do i want too much? / SC game play choices

    I never looked into it, and didn't know there was a back story... but there is apparently. That story is awfully close to the story Harrison Ford tells about it. https://www.businessinsider.com/harrison-ford-reddit-ama-2014-4

    Do i want too much? / SC game play choices

    Eating a crayon is child's play, in fact most children I know have at least taken a bite at one point or another. I don't think you want to point that out to a Marine trying to prove how tough he is by eating one though.

    Do i want too much? / SC game play choices

    I don't have any problem whatsoever with using melee weapons. The problem is the shields. And if you break into my Freelancer and start running at me with a sword, if you think I won't be shooting bullets at you, think again. Oh that reminds me... If we get all these melee weapons in game...

    The future probably does hold energy shields, there is already research going on. And yes, there are physical shields you can buy now, including spiderman suits. But neither of these protect you from the laws of physics. Like, for example the law of momentum conservation. Look it up. It...

    No, you're not the only one!! We used to say, don't bring a knife to a gunfight, and I'm about 60% sure I was watching that scene when I learned the saying. I don't recall being sad about the fate of the monkey either.

    There was a scene in Raiders of the Lost Arc that describes why this might sound like a good idea, but isn't. watch to the end or watch just the last 10 seconds of the fight. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdnA-ESWcPs

    Test Squadron Ship Prefix

    I can't quite make up my mind between TITS and ... well no my mind is made up. But you need to write it with a BIG font, because of other reasons. Preferably a big but jiggly without being saggy font.

    Im old but new

    I'd say welcome to test but, it seems you've been here for a while so I won't.. But that still leaves "Welcome anyway" on the table!

    After well over 5 years, my ISP finally found the source of the signal interference!!

    Summer before last, a city crew working on a plumbing problem "fixed" my internet connection, with a front end loader. Then the cable company took almost 6 months to find and locate the problem. What I got for my trouble? My fence torn up 3 times, and every dog in the neighborhood is curious...

    State of the Squadron 35!

    To herd cats, requires catnip. To herd Testies probably requires beer, but I don't think that will help with the time it takes.

    Huge news for our hearing impaired TESTies

    I have about 20% hearing in my left ear, and there are both low and high frequencies that attenuate a lot faster than my right. I'm able to compensate using the audio balance and tone settings features of most headset earphones. This is due to what is now a very old injury, and I'm used to it...

    Huge news for our hearing impaired TESTies

    This is good news, if they can incorporate it in the game it's great news. The gaming industry in general has little accomodation for any disability, so any thing is a major victory.

    Which monitor?

    You know, a lot of weird things can float through my mind some days. This wasn't one of them. WELL DONE!!!

    Hey all

    Welcome to TEST! Don't worry about n00b status, it dissipates in a short enough time.

    Which monitor?

    Well we agree that there aren't too many of us getting younger as time progresses. There are backers and even members of Test Squadron who are approaching the age where they might be old enough to be MY father, and I have a 10 year old... grand child.
