[quote who="NTJedi" reply="5" id="2707984"]How would you create such a location which only activates 10% of the time? I would like to create mysterious locations which don't always automatically activate. [/quote] I think it would be best to change the likelihood of the tile appearing in a given game rather than to change of the likelihood of the tile to work. Iirc Frogboy said there's a way to make things only show up once every 100 games if that's what you

[quote who="Mauxe" reply="20" id="2707978"]Hmm.. what was up with grabbing that giant bullet and shoving it back down into the arm? I guess it didn't have much force behind it if our hero was able to turn it around in mid-air like that. I need to see a bit more gameplay outside of boss fights. Looks like there is some potential here but I saw some moments which made me think that monotony could set in... [/quote] I could be wrong but I think the robotic

[quote who="shadowtongue" reply="84" id="2707913"]Paul Hellyer has a position I know is wrong, and I think is insane, he paints himself, he doesn't need my help with that. If you listen to what he is actually saying you will understand that he claims elements of the US government are at war with the visitors, and that it's only a matter of time before the visitors retaliate (justifiably in his mind one imagines). Perhaps you quibble over weather or not to call that a 'predict

[quote who="Aractain" reply="11" id="2707416"]Err okay... Didn't I just play this, it was called Transformers: War for something... it had big crystals in it. What I saw above was just another standard action game with boss battles forumla. This time with signature asian moments! And your all like "OMG OMG OMG!!" Wow they put some pretty graphics and animations in and didn't remove the stupid quick time events (Transformers did! They win!).<b

I wouldn't call it "shity". For 5 minutes that's actually not bad at all. :) Good stuff man.

[quote who="KellenDunk" reply="78" id="2707349"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_triangle_(UFO) Does this describe what you saw? It's usually a system of flares or something like that.. I once saw a bright light light dancing in tiny circles and darting around the sky.. Dunno what that was. [/quote] That pic on the right hand side, the "artist's concept", does indeed look pretty close to what I remember seeing. This wasn't flares th

[quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="5" id="2707183"]Hey Raven, maybe we can have a general model/modding request thread for community needs? [/quote] That's what I was thinking we could use This Thread for ;) [quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="5" id="2707183"]BTW, I attempted to make a Draconian model for you. It was hilariously bad. [/quote] That's good looking out brother, I appreciate the try :) I'm horndously bad with 3D modeling as well. Actually it's not so much th

[quote who="MagicwillNZ" reply="69" id="2707165"]Interesting man, Paul Hellyer. The Former Canadian Defense Minister gave one of the most interesting talks on extraterrestrials. If you have any interest in UFOs you should listen to this guy. [/quote] Indeed, my friend. He's not the only high ranking official to come forward. Who knows who Dr. Edgar Mitchelle is? He was an Astronaut on Apollo 14. He's come out and said that he knows aliens exist and even said so flat out on Fox Ne

[quote who="k10w3" reply="67" id="2707136"]The videos are a hoax "What looked like numerous photographs and videos of a ship entering the cosmos was actually put together by not a team, but one person. Kevin Martin, a Southern California Weatherman has come forward as the hoaxer to what is likely the biggest hoax ever created. Martin claims he e-mailed the material to TheWeatherSpace.com in an effort to test a theory of his out. "Who is more gullible, Am

The things I look for are things that really can't be explained away. Things that are witnessed by hundreds or thousands of people. Take for instance the Mass UFO's sighted over Guadalajara in 2004. This video is on Youtube but it was on the news on a lot of stations around the world when it happened, including on CNN. This same thing happened only a year or two later

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="63" id="2707071"] Quoting k10w3, reply 62 I found this in the news today: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/08/05/churchill-ordered-ufo-cover-up/ Heh...now check out this: [/quote] Now those are really interesting vids. Seeing as it's shown from two separate angles it would lead someone to think there's no way it could be faked. Then again it very well could be an elaborate hoax. Those spiral things have been sig

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="33" id="2706907"] The Lore book comes in the LE, but Destiny's Embers is a different. [/quote] Indeed. I wasn't referring to the Lore book though, I meant Destiny's Embers. I could have sworn Frogboy said something about it coming with the Special Edition back before the Special Edition was even available but I'm probably mistaken or just remembering wrong. No worries :)

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="4" id="2706889"]Alright, I opened up the thread and thought "sigh, another hyped console game..." but after watching the vid I found myself wanting an X360 for the first time in a long, long, long time. It has a certain anime-esque style to it, without actually being anime-esque. And I must say that that style does appeal to me greatly. [/quote] That's what I thought when I first saw it today as well. I don't get overly excited about consol

[quote who="Aractain" reply="27" id="2706928"]You SAY J/K, but....... [/quote] Ssshhh, I don't want them seeing through the "nice guy" mask :P [quote who="Tridus" reply="28" id="2707078"] I always like throwing that one back at people who claim they want to defend a "traditional definition of marriage." They don't seem to realize just what the traditional definition actually is. [/quote] Yeah, me too :) . Also notice in the Real "Traditional" wedding vo

[quote who="LEADER MkII" reply="2" id="2706862"]Looks like Lost Planet on crack and on Earth with all the typical Japanese stereotype characters. could be worth a feel...but I"ll get Kane&Lynch 2 before that one [/quote] I keep watching it and thinking how kick ass it would be with Gundams. They need to make a Gundam Wing game with that engine I think.

If I knew there was even a Remote chance I could get banned from Actually playing a game I bought because I got banned on some forums somewhere....I'd never register or post on any game's forums...Ever. That's bullshit. If they did that I'd throw their P.o.S. game back in their faces and demand a refund or I'd sue their asses, plain and simple.

Glad I read this. I was under the impression the book did come with the Special Edition already. Guess I'll wait and see if I have to buy it seperately or not. No biggie though. The game's already coming with a bunch of cool stuff :)

I hope they bring over the control scheme from the GalCiv 2 ship editor. I much rather liked being able to grab a "piece" and put it anywhere in the 3D box I wanted. The tile editor here could really use that kind of functionality.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="99" id="2706795"] Yeah, that was Sigil. But Vanguard bombed so badly that I'm not sure it was a surprise to anybody there. [/quote] I wonder if Vanguard has any free servers? Vanguard as a game by its-self was awesome. I loved it for the short while I played it. As far as game-play and options and what you could do in the world it-self went it was the closest thing I've found to old school UO. I was really hoping it would have done well. It's way b

Check this one out...WOW!!!

If you have a Xbox360 or a PS3 there's a new shooter coming out in October that looks simply Bad Ass!!! It's called "Vanquish". I'm definitely picking this one up for my 360. I wish this was headed to PC as well, but sadly it's not. Check out this vid. It's a cinematic but it's cut full of game-play. As a Sci-Fi shooter fan this looks like a boat load of Awesome, even more so then Gears of War. <embed width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xpTrfPtwGYQ&hl=en_US&

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="54" id="2706739"] I mean, if any other intelligent civs would have the necessary techs to create "warp drives", "jump gates", "time machines" or stuff like that [to solve the "huge distance between the stars and galaxies problem], why haven't they visited our planet?[/quote] [quote who="Annatar11" reply="55" id="2706768"] Possibly because we're one in several trillion?

Once we get some quality models it would be handy for the community to choose the best ones and share them. A lot of Mods will end up having the same kinds of units in them anyway. Any D&D/LotR style fantasy mod is bound to have the same races more or less anyway, Elves, Dwarves, Undead, etc etc.
