    9/11 - What were you doing when it happened?

    I was working in Bergen County, NJ; just across the GWB from Manhattan. I grew up there. Most of the 8 million people who commute into the Big Apple each day come from Bergen. It's a very Manhattanite culture and literally everyone I know, knew someone who had been killed. I remember in the...

    What’s the BEST Multi-Role Ship?

    Yes well, in situations where the Corsair pilot would be tempted to fight, the Mercury pilot will want to exit the scene, and in the long run that could make the Mercury more survivable.

    I'mma steal that

    It is sad they restrained him at 6:30. . .but civilization must survive. Such extreme measures.

    Official 890J commercial

    For the first time I understand the appeal. Not for me, but now I respect it. Extremely well done.

    Naughtylegs secret code!!!

    No, no no. Can't be. That's exactly what my baby niece used to say. She had a secret handshake, too.

    Nautilus Q&A

    Agreed. I think Naff hit it on the head. We don't even know what we don't know yet. One of the few things we do know is CIG is committed to the notion that the game be complex, and that the skills of each player are what drives the game, not the skills of a character. So we should expect the...

    Nautilus Q&A

    I continue to be impressed, but I still would like clarification of the ventral turret, and whether it can be swapped out for guns. With or without though, with heavy armor, three large shields and the twin S7s on the chin, I think this is my choice for tank buster. Given COS ability, and the...

    TEST Pizza, Best Pizza (?)

    There is only one topping worthy to TEST. Come here to New Jersey and be spoiled by the best, where we live in pizza.

    Just a dumb new player question after a few Vodkas!

    I would be super interested to hear any/all details of how the HMD is going. I have for ages thought when I finally put together a pit, it would use a very large display but honestly, VR is cheaper, and if it isn't too cumbersome not being able to see the controls, it has a lot going for it...

    Ugh! What happened to my Sentinel?

    Ooooo. . .Sneaky Owl. . .cool beans. God bless and keep you safe, brother!

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    Looks like Kennedy Space Center is going to take the worst hit with the North side of the eye wall pushing the largest storm surge and highest winds down the throats of the NASA folks. For the first time I am glad to no longer have a lab there. Never did get that thing open. I do however feel...

    Hurricane Watch - The Dorian Saga

    This is really bad. I have yet to see a track that shows it blow North and east back out to sea. Somoene is going to get dumped upon mightily.

    The Staggered Development extra time fallacy

    I'm not sure exactly what CIG is doing, but I don't ever want to give an employee just one thing to do. Any complex task has choke points, bottle necks, places on the critical path outside the control of the person on the task. "Oh, I need Beasley to check the shading because. . ." or...

    The Staggered Development extra time fallacy

    There isn't more time to work, but there is more time to think. Wise managers know that their best people work when they're not at work. They think about their jobs at home at dinner, when sitting in a bar or while choking on a cigar. That time--unfunded, private, creative time, is some of...

    What’s the BEST Multi-Role Ship?

    The POLARIS, because we likes to eat all the lesser birds. --Fast for a ship its size. In Quantum or out, it is quick to the point of the action. --Powerful. . .though methinks they need to upgrade those guns since yet again they are putting bigger stuff on smaller ships. There was no...

    Ugh! What happened to my Sentinel?

    C'mon, man. It's been five minutes.

    What are your FPS Weapons of Choice?

    I doubt it is "most". Soldiers are not issued second weapons past a knife and many armies no longer issue those. Certainly soldiers pick stuff up, and they're not supposed to, but if they're the one carrying it and they're not slowing down the team, I suppose it is up to them. Point is...

    The Staggered Development extra time fallacy

    Personally I think there is wisdom in this approach, since it allows the testers more time and every person in the process is available to fix bugs and polish stuff. I think it is certainly harder than only having one thing to do, but I always plan employees work schedules such that if one task...

    Nautilus brochure and related data

    The best Close Air Support craft are not fast. They are tanky and have overwhelming firepower sufficient to destroy hard targets like tanks. Just as in SW Combine, many ships in SC are of a class sufficiently larger than vehicles that they will overwhelm the vehicles. However, to be...

    I think real bombs will be cheaper.
