What an awesome thing to be a part of... it actually means something these days when a game goes gold as well.. that is if it isn't COD or Battlefield...

Finished playing now, great game all round. Best one I've played in years in fact. Also waited for Benny boy's name to pop up on the credits! Now to try the DLC

Heh "The Pauli Effect" I read about that when I was reading Synchronicity: By Carl Jung
It's an interesting thought and I think you hit the nail on the head, atmosphere is definitely lost when you play a map multiple times and when you respawn 20+ times. I think it would take some effort, and also music would play a big part.

I know, I did realise while on the way to pick it up the extent of my geekery.
My girlfriend couldn't really get her head around why I wanted it... "It's an eyesore in our bedroom"

I've been interested in the history of computing for a long time and I've been meaning to get hold of some old hardware for a while. Up until now everything I've found has been ridiculously expensive (like over 1000 gbp for a 1970s commodore PET). There seems to be a massive collectors market, which pushes the price up.
To my delight, I found an old Acorn BBC Micro on ebay for 50 gbp and only a few miles from my house. Picked it up today

I work two minimum wage jobs for $8.38 an hour.
You said 'joke.'
Brilliant!!

Since writing my last post I have to retract my statement about the alien not being too scary... It is
The tension the game creates (much of it through the sounds and atmosphere) is incredible. Best game I've played In a long time....
Re the alien having a level of real AI, I didn't know that but had an inkling the more I've encountered it.
Also I bought Aliens: Colonial marines at the same time and while it looks nice, it has absolutely zero fear-factor... I feel like I'm shooting dumb acid-bags rather than intelligent killing machines... Shame as it would be nice to have a shooter that rivalled the original avp which I really enjoyed.
Edit: I think 3rd person would've taken a lot away from the game as well...

I've never seen your previous episodes but this was really cool man. Really impressed... Was that all stop motion?

I'm trying to buy one of them off ebay at the moment, I'm bidding gbp 10.00 for an old toshiba with dos/3.1 on it!

That sounds like something that would interest me a lot. Will check it out.. I find the history of computing intriguing... I was even considering buying an old acorn or apple 2 to have in my house to piss about on.

Seriously, this game is fucking scary. Please excuse my French but I've not been this scared since the arms break through the wall on resident evil 2.
I'm genuinely more scared of those beady eyed androids than the alien... For some reason they dredge up a feeling of severe terror... I seriously don't think I can keep playing.
Also, as a massive fan of retro computing, I absolutely love the 1970s looking computer terminals!

Thanks for the advice guys, it's much appreciated. I will check the videos out
. Also I know how to set up reference images and I modelled the lower part of the tank pretty much right off that blueprint, I just kind of went off on my own for the turret part. I was actually using screenshots of that Bradley ifv model on the renhelp website. 0 -
So I thought id pre-emptively start a thread on this game. I'm currently just waiting for it to install on my seX-box and once I've played it for a bit I'll provide my review
. Seeing as one of our esteemed admins worked on the game, i thought it would be a good discussion point. 0 -
Thank you for your comments Einstein

There's nothing wrong with the textures and the developers are amazingly talented IMO. I personally love w3d and it's general look, I have just come to realise that not everyone outside the community agrees
it's a shame.2 -
TSR is a lovely game, but you can't deny that it's not triple A quality... That is the main issue. New players are used to games made on UDK or UE. W3d is niche... And unfortunately unable to render detailed textures... It doesn't have specular or normal mapping...
We all love w3d here but it's not easy to get people outside the community to love it as well

Hey Andrew, the w3d community as a whole is in desperate need of some PR. The problem is; it's difficult to market it outside the community as everyone expects triple A quality in games these days. It's a very niche community. I'm hoping when AR and BFD is released it will spark some interest in the community.

I can play pretty much any percussive instrument you give me, except toms, tenors, and snares. I specialize in keyboard percussion however, especially the Vibraphone. But I am also good at Marimba, and can play Chimes, Glockenspiel, and Xylophone. I used to play Clarinet a LONG time ago. I actually still have a professional clarinet lying around my home, and it is one of the best clarinets I ever had (even beats some people that went professional).
That's an awesome talent General, I've never actually met anyone who plays keyboard percussion... How'd you get into it?

Awesome
Do you have an Amiga to play it, or is it a sentimental purchase?
