Just got far cry 2, I'm loving the existential overtones. Excellently set up game. The faded/washed out graphics style fits perfectly for the story being told. I love the duel between the two of you, both aspiring to be the stronger. I love how everyone else is nameless, this really adds to the whole strong/weak thing prominent in the work quoted at the beginning of the game (Beyond Good and Evil). I also find it interesting how the buddy system plays with this theme. You want to be a strong lone-wolf, but you still get help from others.
Recently I started playing Kerbal Space Program, does anyone else here play it?
It's this fun game where you make rockets and send them into space.
Currently I've sort of given up on manned missions, because probes are so much lighter, better, and less risky. Also landing on anything without an atmosphere is frickin impossible, so with probes I can keep sending them until they work and have no guilt about sending Kerbals to die. I've landed and returned a probe to/from the mun, and landed* a probe on minmus but the engine was damaged and I couldn't return. I still got the transmitted science though.
*It was a cross between landing and crashing.
Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.
Or is it?
I played the hell out of it when it had like 5 pieces. and then stopped for a while. When i came back it had like 8 bazillion more parts so i'm not really sure what a lot of them do.
It's the only thing in my life that has made me actively want to study physics. I've landed on the moon several times, but i have never been able to return cause i suck at piloting.
As the king of all cosmos remarked "is it really fun? or that it let's you forget yourself?"

Try career mode, it limits what pieces you get until you get science.
Also, I landed on the Mun but I'm an idiot. I thought that the lab actually increased the amount of science you got, and brought a lab to the mun. This made the rocket much harder to build, and ultimately I didn't have enough fuel to get back. So I'm currently attempting to launch a probe with a bunch of empty command modules to the mun near where I landed and get the Kerbals back with that.

i have been and it's fun but i messed up my path so i didn't get braces whooops. so now my rockets are really unstable. I think i'm gonna start over actually.

Wind Waker is also my favorite Zelda game, having played most of them(not Skyward Sword).

jdodge1019: he's not a liberal
jdodge1019: thus he is a cow

Not gonna lie,
I was actually really sad when Full bright ended up being the villain. Like, I fucking loved that plot twist, but he was really cool and I think I liked him more than Gumshoe(Ema isn't even in the running).
PLEASE, only take the games you actually want and plan on playing, and don't take one of each just because "Hey I don't own that game in my steam library of 1,000 games of which I've played 20". That way every game goes to someone who wants it. Try to limit yourself to two to three games, but I won't forbid you from taking a bunch if you think you'll play them.
sorry about that. No offense but you guys are the second community to which I belong that I gave dibs on the games to, so someone from the other site must've pulled a hit n run on it without telling me.
ehh I've heard good things about risk of rain from a few people but dunno if it'd be up my alley. will probably end up buying it in a sale or something eventually though.
