    • Yup and Lag kills are very much a thing.




    • If you just run around one of the planetoids while shooting a rapid fire gun, you can see the delay with which the shots are fired.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No5dJ7OUlVM




  • Repetitious or not, the original KF did pull me in quite effectively for 45hours.




  • Of course, back then, there wasn’t a whole lot of variety when it came to Linux games on Steam.




  • I thought we already did this story




  • The author waxes about how orgasmic the combat is in the game

Terra


http://freegamer.blogspot.com/2014/07/support-development-of-terra-centauri.html




  • Someone actually built a game /w the MegaGlest Engine?




    • Yeah and they’re hoping putting centauri in the name will draw people in hopes it’s an Alpha Centauri type thing.




    • Which admittedly it does fit into the genre, it probably won’t be as good though.

  • If I start going down that road, I’m gonna be poorer than Pedro very quickly




  • Of course I’m going to expect it! r600 still covers the highest percentage of Linux AMD graphics users.




 


I can read babe?

  • Risin’ Goat ladies and gents.




  • From a collection of dim-witted FKS that can’t read.

Questions


http://slexy.org/view/s2E8A12rnx




  • Venn and I can empathize. We too are plagued by constant weekly visions of Pedro’s face




  • So… You left your plasma TV on for 10 hours playing youtube videos?




    • To me that’s indicative of a bigger problem than having my face seared onto the screen.




    • Also, I guess you’re lucky it was my face. Considering our content, you could have ended up with something worse on your TV.




      • Like your O-face








  • We like ze ARCH!11! It’s the fan club we have issues with.
