Very nice.

I'm still trying to figure out your versioning scheme. Pretty sure there's a message there...

Crash on new BURN update

Not sure if this is completely a BTW issue, but given the update's new feature and the stack trace it might be. It seems like I can continue playing post crash, so not world corrupting that I can tell at this point. Will update if I have further issues. Crash Report ---- Minecraft Crash Report ---- ...

I have to echo utakataJ6's sentiment here.

Re: Embargo Lifted! (Open Early Game Discussion)

This new early game is destroying me. So far I've died a ridiculous number if times, which is new as I'm usually pretty good at playing safe. But I'm having a hard time figuring it if I'm approaching something poorly or just being careless. I've gotten to a the point between chisel and first tool 5 ...

Sorry but reading this made my day in a slightly sadistic way :D Yeah... I'm pretty sure I've been less upset at falling in lava with diamonds than I was to lose my stone pick and chisel. I've died a lot since then... I feel like I need like a montage for all the great times I had with that stone p...

Re: Embargo Lifted! (Open Early Game Discussion)

I get that. I find it a little worrying how excited I got when I found a lava source in a cave near the surface and immediately considered relocating so I didn't have to cower next to my oven to avoid the gloom at night. I'm getting by at this point, but knowing I have to get all the way to the neth...

I stopped by for my bi-annual visit and now there's a pile of updates... I'm currently stuck in early game and it's kicking my butt. I'm not dying but I'm not progressing either. I always played overly cautious and slow in the early game and it seems like the change to early game torches doesn't all...

Glad to see you get back in to the swing of things FC. I'm really liking the HC Darkness changes.

And pretty worried about my wolves...

Re: How long have you survived?

I don't count the days, but the longest I've survived was up to the blaze collection bottleneck in the tech tree. Blazes are usually my first death. I'll survive up until that point without much issue, then meet my demise trying to get my hibachis up and going. I usually don't die after that for a ...

Re: The Question Of Multiplayer in RTH

I think the game best served by it's creator not changing it's design halfway through. (Looking at you Squad...) As much as I would love to have multiplayer, I think it the social aspect of it can add a great deal to a game. But only if it was designed with it in mind. As much as I would like to be ...

Re: Your HCS Outpost Process?

I've kinda felt like I missed out on the whole HCS gameplay aspect. Usually by the time I've established a base, which I usually do when I have sustainable food source (usually chickens, pumpkins and mushrooms) I have done a fair amount of exploring in the area. So by the time I die, I know where I ...

Odd. If for no other reason then power distribution. In a 7x7 interior, I can have power dead center in the room against the wall or in the wall. And it all be only 1 gear box from center. And power can be transmitter in the ceiling or floor in the middle, it just works so well. I like to build thin...

Re: Has anyone else tried Rust?

VAC just started banning hacking account a week ago and the most recent update patched a couple of vulnerabilities so it's being addressed. Still has a few problems, but it's getting better.

Has anyone else tried Rust?

I picked up rust around Christmas after setting a bit of video on it. And while it is very, very much not finished. And I think it is really honest of the developers when releasing the alpha to say "Do not buy this game". It is buggy at times. Hackers are an issue. And those two thing alon...

Re: Guns of Icarus Online

I think it's both a strength and weakness. It's a strength in that the mechanics players use are simple and straightforward. Very much not complex and easy to pick up for new players. It's a weakness in that the mechanics are very much just what they seem. But they complexity builds with play time. ...

I enjoy the occasional competitive game now and then, pretty much just League of Legends, but they can be fun from time to time. I think I enjoy the team aspect of it the most, as I've always been a fan of coop game play. It's just fun to play with friends and work as a team. The recent Steam sell c...
