Just my thoughts but I was involved in a lot of the early Alpha tests Destiny ran and they really did change things based on feedback... in the end I purchased a game that matched the description, trailer and was basically a much more polished, content rich game. I definitely didn't buy it based on ...

Well, X4 news is certainly worth cracking out the old account and posting a generic, woop. Of course, remains to see what else is released further down the road but the summary of what will be in X4 is a good start. I long for the same feeling of depth and the sheer selection of choice I had in X2 a...

Aye, its a fair point. It certainly doesn't have the maturity of a game with a more tried and tested engine behind it.

AkrionXxarr, I understood the purpose of the 7 year development cycle but that doesn't change the fact that at the end of it the product should be ready for release or delayed. Personally I can't help but feel that a model more like Minecraft would better suit Egosoft. Charge a single flat fee but c...

I'm going to air my thoughts here, just so its amongst the like-minded people of offtopic (even if you don't agree with my thoughts :) ). I've been a regular on and off here for some time and I agree, Egosoft have a reputation for releasing a game and then spending months, years fixing it. Yes, they...

Happy days, I return with less than 24 hours until the next game launches!
Honestly hoping that this is the smoothest launch they have to date.

I've managed to avoid pretty much all the pre-launch blurb around the game so it should be a nice surprise once I'm inside it

Yes, except to say its awesome. Probably the best 7 minutes of Dr Who I've watched in a long long time

How did I miss this? Time to go and fund, although I have my doubts based on his more recent performance I suppose it doesn't hurt to hope

I don't really care how many space games there are, as long as there is quality. I'd happily take quality over quantity any day, I still remember my first time on X and the months of my life I spent playing away. Nothing I've played since has outlived it, sure Skyrim was great but the main story was...

Such as there not being much around outside the labs where they make it? I was thinking more of a drive that could use a readily available fuel. And how are you going to convert it into pure energy? We don't even have a theoretical method of doing that which doesn't involve antimatter! Now I'm not ...

Some thoughts; You may have thought of this but obviously you would need to be careful with the X link, if you borrow too much it may infringe some rights somewhere, also hooking in may be a good idea but it would probably be too complex and scare off random other users. A space trading game would b...

RPS have followed suit

And Sky, they spent most the morning on Sky news showing the wikipedia SOPA page on an iPad??

Meh, they've talked about it for a while and not enough sites have joined in on it to give it a huge amount of impact.
I'll still be using wikipedia when its down, just via google cache.

that's interesting news, we had some white goods replaced in the kitchen by the landlord recently and these are wired directly into that wall. By that meaning he should have got someone out to do it, hmm

This reminds me of the current Windows advert doing the rounds on TV. We all seen it? The kid who needs help, his dad leans over the kid decides to "improve" his business slides. I mean seriously? Their best selling point is that you could turn what is always going to be a boring slide based pie cha...

You don't even have to worry about how the switch is made up, they keep things nice and simple with a little block for you to screw the required wires into

Whilst I would say that new light switches are relatively easy to install if you switch off the power, understand how to use a screwdriver and feel brave, this doesn't take into account the current wiring. If its a hideous monstrosity its possible that the wiring is also a mess you will be best off ...

Last night on twitter "Gay Marriage" was a trending topic. I checked out the hashtag search and the general mood was a whole bunch of people saying more or less this: "Gay Marriage should be allowed, if not then your a homophobic asshole!". It was mostly females stating this. Right, so... you saw t...

a fountain of youth?

hmm, I recall lecturers using different styles of PPT's to different effects. Some used sparsely populated slides with key points and alt+tabbed out to perform live demonstrations. Others rammed their slides full of detail and information but only briefly referred to them, instead they doubled as le...
