Are any of you nerds following this?

https://robertsspaceindustries.com/

Every few weeks I'll see an article pop up somewhere about the game hitting a new crowd-funding goal, but I didn't bother to learn anything about the game until today.  It's essentially going to be a multiplayer space sim sandbox.

- Modular ship customization (I think?)
- Space dog-fighting combat (PvE & PvP)
- Player organizations
- Crafting/harvesting
- Economy/trading/hauling

And yes, it's slated to have Rift support.

It looks interesting, if not insanely ambitious.  They're aiming for a buy-to-play model (pay-to-alpha right now), and they're not at all shy about relying heavily on microtransactions.  B2P and microtransactions are things I really prefer to stay away from.  If a game is good, I'm more willing to pay a monthly sub as long as I know I'm getting the complete experience for my money.

I'm keeping an eye on it but remaining very skeptical.

This is set to launch tomorrow, October 1st.  If anyone who has picked up GTAV wants to team up, we can form a crew.  My PSN is manicv.

It was originally a tech demo made by five guys in their spare time, but now EVE-VR - the Oculus Rift space dogfighting game that made its debut at EVE Fanfest this year - is going to be a full game called EVE Valkyrie, coming in 2014.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/08/20/eve-valkyrie-oculus-rifts-space-dogfighting-game

The Furious Angels has existed as an EVE corporation since 2009, and we also have a couple of members who play DUST, if only casually.  Depending on how Valkyrie develops, we can easily expect to expand into that game as well.  CCP is making good on their aspirations of expanding the EVE universe across multiple entertainment mediums.  From games, to books, and to a television series.  EVE's second decade is shaping up to be an exciting one!

You can keep up with the most recent EVE: Valkyrie developments by following the game on Twitter.

Gamespot's "Reality Check" examines the psychology surrounding virtual reality, and takes a look at the subconscious affects it has on the brain.  How do we differentiate between real and virtual, and what would it take to completely trick your brain into not knowing the difference?

I can't believe I just learned about this, and I'm really thinking about getting a server going with some fun mods.  Would you guys be interested?

It requires GTA: San Andreas, which is currently $15 on Steam.

General / Drink Night - Manic sings "Call Me Maybe"
« on: February 01, 2013, 01:39:11 pm »
So... this happened.

And as promised...

DATE: Saturday, February 9th
TIME: Drinking starts promptly at 8 PM, FAT.  Singing to follow soon after because I'm a ridiculous lightweight.
WHAT: Likwid and Jess won their engagement photo contest.  To celebrate, I'll set up a Google+ video conference and dedicate my rendition of the song "Call Me Maybe" to them.


Let's have a party.  We can also celebrate... I don't know... black history month?  Or something?

Off Topic / Surgery tomorrow
« on: November 08, 2012, 01:09:06 pm »
It seems I have developed six gallstones as a result of not having enough fat in my diet.  Which is really weird, because I spent a large portion of my life surviving solely on fast food.  The guy doing my ultrasound asked if I was vegan.  Apparently they see gall stones a lot in people with low or no-fat diets.

Eat your fat, kids!  Gall stones are agonizing!

So to save myself the risk of more stones, and any infection spreading to my pancreas, I'm going in for surgery on Friday to have my gallbladder removed.  Barring any complications, I should be home the same day and I should be back to 100% by Thursday.

This Saturday.  August 18th.  Be there.  I'll be streaming from my phone for most of the day.  I plan to set the phone somewhere to watch the actual ceremony, and I may cut the stream off for the reception since I will have to be social.
