Started to play Mount and Blade: Warband again. 30 hours later, Calradia is divided and still at war.

You have one option: take control of a side, and unify the land!
(Either start out on your own and capture stuff, or join a side and build up forces, find a claimant, start the revolution, dismiss the claimant, and go at it. When you eliminate the side you're rebelling against, you become the faction proper) But you'll have everybody gunning for you, and full armies taking your cities from you. So prepare well :)

Somebody introduced me to Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden.

Re: What are you playing right now?
Finally decided to go ahead and try Kingdom Hearts, now that there's these new little bundle packs which means you don't have to buy eight games on five systems (numbers may be off a bit).

I believe I just finished the intro (yep, this is a Square Enix game alright, two hours to do the intro), and my main concern at this point is how long I'll be able to stomach having Donald and Goofy as partners.

That's odd. I only got issues with it when i (like a complete noob) installed a few G.E.M.S mods via NMM instead of the recommended way. Reinstall fixed the problem.

Re: What are you playing right now?
RE: crashes. Are you using the SKSE? How are you running it? That's been the single biggest cause of crashes to me, until I installed it manually.

I just finished a playthrough of The Banner Sage. You guys, it's good. Imagine a cross between Oregon Trail, Fire Emblem, and Chess, and that's about where it is. Also amazing art style.

If installed properly, the unofficial patches remove a lot of crash problems. Using tools like BOSS to manage your load order (and find problematic mods) should take care of most of the remaining problems. Skyrim should crash only very rarely, unless you've done something weird to your install (or it just hates your system).

<Aesaar> literary criticism is vladimir putin

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

<@The_E> Welcome to OpenGL, where standards compliance is optional, and error reporting inconsistent

<MageKing17> It was all working perfectly until I actually tried it on an actual mission.

Re: What are you playing right now?
STO. Dyson Sphere.

STO has not jumped the shark. They killed it. Bred a T-Rex, Cybernetically enhanced it with augmentations (for which it never asked), put a bunch of laser cannons on it and made it a group boss.

And its so gosh darn fun.

The entire Ground Zone feels so... organic. There is an element of randomness to it. The AI will actually try to take back lost territory. And there are neutral units that attack both you/your allies and the "Enemy" faction (which can work on the favor of either side.)

Did I mention that at the end of the ground sequence you fight not one, not two, but three Cyber-T-Rexes?

Since the migration to my new SSD has royally screwed up any uPlay games to the point where I'll probably have to format and reinstall, I'm taking a break from Assassin's Creed II and am back on Shift 2.

Re: What are you playing right now?
I've completely forgotten all my WALBattuta stuff. I'll have to work on it.

In other news, Aquanox and Aquanox 2 are on sale for a little over 2 bucks on GoG. Go get them so somebody is inspired to make Goober's SeaSick Mod a reality.

Re: What are you playing right now?
WE: ALL LOVE BATTUTA

Hey I made a really ****ty impromptu video with my bad mic to show you how ****ING BADASS this game is so


transcript if you can't understand anything

Spoiler:
Hey you dumb nerds. My name's GENERAL BATTUTA. I am here to make a video for you about WARGAME AIR LAND BATTLE. *mic clips sexily*

Look at this ****LOAD OF PACT TANKS coming to **** ME UP. I'm playing West Germany. Best Germany. I'm with my friend. He's British. And in the game.

All right, we have to stop all these tanks from taking our command zone. I'm on the trial version of FRAPs so it's gonna cut every 30 seconds. This is what the game looks like from my omnipotent commander's eye view. Look at all that smoke. That's the Soviets. They're trying to confuse my elite tank crews.

We're bombing them. Look at all these bombs. That's our air power. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guG9cVs3ms4 But - it's not enough. There's just too many T-72s. How are we gonna stop them?

I'm probably gonna zoom in in a second here. Get to see the, uh, the tank's eye view as my Germans try to hold the line. Look at this ****. Look at all those ****ing tanks. We have the best tanks in the world - but they have the MOST!

And at this point in the game I'm just freaking the **** out. This zone I'm defending is the key. If we lose it, we lose everything. We lose our dignity. We lose our women. It's gonna be awful.

The Soviet tanks are just rolling in. They're coming in to these woods. These woods are gonna burn. There's smoke everywhere, there's fire, people are screaming. Look at this! The suffering! The humanity! All right, cut.

This, uh, this is one of my helicopter gunships. It got killed by a Tunguska. Helicopter gunships are supposed to take out large numbers of enemy tanks, but unfortunately for me our Communist adversary was just a little too clever. Now as you can see, most of these woods have burnt down and THERE - there is the KEY! Right there, where I just zoomed in, that's a T72 command vehicle. We have to kill it at all costs.

Now my British friend is gonna roll in some M1 Abrams. He's gonna try to help me out with his tanks. (That's where my tanks are hiding.) Here's his tanks. Oh, ****, what's that? An anti-tank missile? Boom! He's ****ed. That's the problem with expensive tanks...it only takes one good hit.

Okay, what are we gonna do about this. Look at this. It's a great game. You zoom in, it's beautiful. You zoom out, you have total control. You can see everything! Mortars dropping all over these guys. We gotta get through their front line and kill their command tank so we can get the zone back. It's a Hotel and they've checked in...but they won't check out.

So you see I've dropped a flare to indicate we've just got to kill that ****ing command tank. It's guarded by some Soviet infantry but I'm gonna kill it at any cost. How am I gonna do it? Well, I'm gonna get the best tank in the world, the Leopard 2A4, piloted by specimens of superior German perfection. I'm just gonna ****ing roll it up - there it is, there he goes! Is he gonna make it? He's not, this story has a sad ending, like Blue PlaAAHHHHH nope never mind he did it!

It's beautiful. Totally beautiful. He just got shot in the face but German armor is invincible. Why don't you just reverse out of there, bud? See, it's invincible, I told you.
