    The Fall of Babylon 6: A Tale of Disaster and Mismanagement

    It never ceases to amaze me how some people try to fancy up their words in an attempt to make them sound legitimate. That, combined with straw man arguments and feigned offense, are the entirety of a forum bully's toolbox. Logic is met with anger. Fact is met with convoluted nonsense. Any...

    What do you do for a living?

    I tried the inventor path for a while in my off time. You're right. It does require a jack of all trades. It's also amazingly fun for the right kind of person. I just couldn't find a way to sufficiently monetize it. Every idea that I had either turned out to be too small, or after...

    What do you do for a living?

    Since @supitza and others are either looking into a career change or are still searching for their "calling", I figured I'd share my opinion on the matter. [$0.02] As I mentioned I have worked a ton of different jobs in a pile of different fields. It looks like many of you have as well. In...

    What do you do for a living?

    For the vast majority of my life, I suffered from what could only be called "job related ADD". I've worked a ton of jobs from prison guard to running a strip club, HVAC installer to home building, private security to office manager and just about everything in between. I've been drawn to just...

    Kick in the BALLs!

    I've felt the wave of frustration hit a couple times now. So I can't talk trash. What I can comment on, are the things that brought everything back into perspective. Make no mistake. This frustration is an issue with perception, nothing else. I don't say it to start/continue an argument. I...

    Bored Games

    We actually play board games every Sunday. My wife and I started it up with our daughter years ago for the purpose of teaching strategy and critical thinking. The weekly winner picks dinner the following Sunday. It's turned into a fun filled family murderfest every week. As a result, we have...

    [Video] Excited for gimbal assist in 3.5!

    Yes, 1000% yes! Is it a perfect solution? No, but it's pretty damn good. First, there is the issue of aimbots. No matter what CIG does, they WILL find their way into the game. They have been in every single shooting game since forever and anyone that thinks it won't be in SC as well is just...

    Advice on PC upgrade

    Honestly, it looks like you have a really solid rig there regardless of age. You should be able to handle just about anything on the market on max settings and good fps. If it were me, I wouldn't upgrade it. Hardware seems to have outrun the software lately. So buying better gear isn't...

    A little help with cord cutting (Canada)

    It's not as bad as it sounds. I am basically using a TV as a monitor, via the hdmi out on my graphics card. I then use a HDMI splitter to run that signal to my other tvs. I chose to use the HDMI/ethernet adapter because it's much easier to run cat6 (300' range, 125' range with cat5e) than it...

    Perma Death

    The video definitely outlines some of my concerns. If there is the slightest possibility of abuse, a percentage of the player base will make it their life's endeavor to use that mechanic to ruin the day of as many people as possible. It happens in every game that doesn't respect this reality...

    A little help with cord cutting (Canada)

    Welcome to a cable free world! It's absolutely amazing. We cut the cable a couple years ago and never looked back. Streaming sites offer such a massively better service at much less cost. To be honest, I just dont think cable tv has a place in this world anymore. It's an archaic service...

    [Video] What is your most anticipated game of 2019?

    I am very much looking forward to The Division II. I hope they take what they learned in the first one and apply it at launch to this one. If they do things right, it could be a real winner. I'm also looking forward to Far Cry New Dawn. I don't care if it's a reskin or a ripoff of Far Cry 5...

    VPC-Virpil just restocked!

    Nice! I've been eying them for a while now. I think I'm going to wait though. I really want to see what happens with this new flight model. More specifically, if they are going to continue down this IM road. I won't be investing heavily into dual sticks (past my current two tm's) until I...

    Damned Vigilantes

    Sometimes I wonder if they actually do read these forums. I definitely feel some of our conversations here are worth reading. We really do have some good discussions. This is a huge consideration. Unfortunately, most games completely fail at this. They either cater completely to PVP'rs and...

    Updates, updates, updates

    Same here. I only download updates by choice. There is an old IT saying, "don't download updates on release". When it comes to any updates, the potential for breaking EVERYTHING is high. I always give it a day or two for the repair patch to make it's way down the pipe. Updates are like a...

    Webcams are hot again (?) - Microsoft rumored to release new webcams in 2019

    That is precisely why I am so very glad my teenage years landed in the 90's. I can't imagine how different my life would have been if every person I knew walked around at all times with a video camera that could upload and share footage in minutes... All that stupidity carefully recorded and...

    Can't wait for 3.5! Arccorp and the new flight model!

    It looks like quite a few of us were in the same boat. I hit the pause button when they started messing with the mechanics a while back. I'm looking forward to jumping back in. That said, I'm still not in a huge hurry. My main concern is that the game still has that "new car smell" when it...

    Atlas countdown!

    I'm kind of in the same boat. I've bought it, but I'm hesitant to play due to the 2hr limit on the refund policy. If it really is a money grab, I don't want any part of it. I certainly don't want to support the developer if they let the current issues stand without addressing them. So far...

    Atlas a port of Ark with Ark menus etc still in the game xD

    Nah, it's just a function of how reviews work. Only a very small percentage of people who bought the game actually reviewed the game (much less than 1% according to the stats). If that small of a percentage is actually motivated to leave a review, they would have to be VERY motivated when...

    Atlas countdown!

    I can't argue with that. It definitely could have been handled better. I know it is "early access" and technically not a release, but the hard truth is that people make plans based off statements like this. There is nothing more frustrating than arranging your schedule, taking days off, or...
