    Mech Suits BABY!

    Add in the later VR support and we might finally have the mech fighting virtual reality experience that I've wanted since I was a kid.

    Mech Suits BABY!

    I know it can be hard to watch at times, but "feature creep" is what has taken this game from the ship avatar in 2012 to what we are looking at today. I looked into the game back when the kickstarter was going on. It looked interesting, but not interesting enough to invest. One of the main...

    Graphics card opinions..

    My god that would be amazing. Hell, you could do that with gaming rigs in general. The only problem is, people suck. I stopped building PC's for friends for that very reason. People mindlessly overclock everything because a website said it would fix everything. People download viruses...

    Gamer salt is not always what it seems

    I am right there with you. I think one of the main driving forces behind backer dissatisfaction is a result of three things. The first is not knowing how incredibly easy it is to make most of these regurgitated games. The second is how much extra work it is to deviate from the industry...

    Graphics card opinions..

    Graphics cards can be both convoluted and counter-intuitive at times. For instance, a gtx 980ti is generally about as good as a normal gtx 1070. The "ti" is generally where the major performance is at. In my opinion a gtx 1070ti should last you at least 2 years. It should also be around a...

    Graphics card opinions..

    Unfortunately, I can't give you much advice on the AMD side. I tried AMD cpus shortly after they arrived on the scene. I burned out two of them before tucked tail and ran back to Intel. I've been there ever since. The same was for GPUs except the amd issue was with drivers. So for the last...

    Gamer salt is not always what it seems

    Absolutely. The $2M was just a payroll estimate. You have office space at anywhere from $1.50-$3.00 per sq. ft., the IT costs for all that hardware, the data cost of all that transfer between their locations, electric, water, gas, phone charges (unless they're on a VOIP system), server...

    Gamer salt is not always what it seems

    The problem is overhead. It's always overhead. Star Citizen brings in tons of money, true. However, they ship it back out by the boatload as well. I used to work for a paving company. One year they did over 9 million dollars in revenue. What shocked me was when I found out that the owner...

    Gamer salt is not always what it seems

    That's true. In my mind, it makes sense though if I take two things into consideration. The first is how much time has been wasted due to going back and redoing old work. It sucks to see all that work get thrown out, but the results can't be denied. The game and the ships look much better...

    Gamer salt is not always what it seems

    I think this hits on one of the main balancing tools that most people forget and might just keep this thing in some sense of equality. In most games, once a player, clan, org, or guild has a really powerful ship/vehicle/etc, you spawn it and the only financial risk to running around with it is...

    Gamer salt is not always what it seems

    Absolutely, I couldn't agree more. I think that pendulum swung way too far in the wrong direction. Developers found they could squeeze more money out of F2P P2W than they could out of a subscription base. Some games lately haven't even really tried to hide it. Honestly, SC is one of them...

    Gamer salt is not always what it seems

    I have been cruising around the SC forums for a couple years now. It seems that with every turn, CIG takes a huge hit. Everything is the end of the world to someone and every choice just plain ruins the game. At least that's what it looks like. Don't get me wrong, some decisions are shit bag...

    How do you play Star Citizen when you're traveling

    My solution is not to travel. My last vacation was a week long trip to my basement. When I do begrudgingly have to travel, I never touch important accounts using hotel wifi. At the risk of sounding like I wear a shiny foil hat, it is incredibly easy for a hotel employee to hook you up with a...

    Graphics card opinions..

    Honestly, this is my first thought as well. Are you experiencing issues with your 970gtx? It should be able to play most anything out there with decent frame rates. If not, you may be experiencing a different bottleneck like power supply, CPU, hard drive, etc. I'm currently running a GTX...

    Anniversary Sale Mega Thread - Its Done - Hammer & Hawk Available until Dec 11th

    Keep in mind, 4km x 4km is 16 square km for $50. 8km x 8km is 64 square km for $100. So you would need 4 of the 4km2 purchases to equal the amount you get for the 8km2 purchase. You basically get 400% of the land for 200% of the price. The 8km is a much better deal by the square km. Just...

    Anniversary Sale Mega Thread - Its Done - Hammer & Hawk Available until Dec 11th

    45 minutes late... Twitter definitely says 12:00pm, but nothing yet on their you tubes, facie pages, or twitter books... They did have this image on twitter. It was one of the two images for today's sale.

    Which ship?

    Well, if I were faced with that choice, it would be two ships. You have plenty of multiplayer options with the Endeavor and the Hammerhead. The Endeavor can be turned into quite a few different options on top of that with it's modularity. So I would go for smaller group play and some solo...

    Vanguard Ships

    I have a Sentinel at the moment, but honestly I will likely let it go. The vanguard started out as a very long range fighter. The initial impression was that it was going to be one of the few, if not only, fighter that can deploy in a long range capacity. The rest would either require...

    What's that new CO ship? 28 Nov Tue Release

    I took another look at the image and something really stood out for me. I cut it out and fiddled with it for a few minutes. It looks to me like that is some landscaping. It looks like they took a screenshot on the ground of some planet, blurred it with some effects, washed it out in...
