No, the beta failed to convince me and I don't have high hopes for the TV show either. Dan Whitehead seems to agree.

NDA was lifted on March 22. Sadly my impression from the beta weekend was pretty meh.

I've got two spare beta invites. And say hi in the RPS Firefall sociability thread if you're playing this.

The recent patch has changed all the things, including the progression system. Thumping also got a lot more exciting, with more Thumper types available, much harder waves and the Thumpers having less...

About 30 random folks gave Mr. Baneclaw (a sort of open world raid boss) a shot yesterday afternoon - although sadly he won and then refused to come back for a rematch. That was the first time I've...

I've downloaded this due to not much else to play this weekend and was very positively surprised! It's obviously incomplete and buggy, but nonetheless tons of fun to play already and has the...

I remember there being a Flattr button on articles. Do I remember wrongly or did something happen to it?

Where do you store that encryption key so you can restore your data after your computer was stolen/destroyed?

For my gaming peecee:

Amazon S3 (dirt cheap storage)
GoodSync (rsync with a GUI - syncing my profiles/savegames/screenshots to S3)


For my srz bzns:

This is the secret mini-game in the credits of Black Prophecy. You get to shoot all the names and logos instead of just watching them scroll by. I thought that was rather neat!...

I've just started playing this and after much deliberation decided on a utility/dual wielding rogue with an unhealthy obsession for smashing all barrels and crates in every dungeon. I'm only level 2,...

Wikipedia says that " most commercial USB headsets can be used for voice communication". So it'd work for all 4 of your scenarios, although a big clunky headset wouldn't be "unobtrusive" for outdoor...

You do not want to game with a bluetooth headset, because that means having to decide between a notable signal delay (A2DP mode) or super bad quality (handsfree mode).

With headsets in general,...

Also, EVE. Not the angry internet men shouting on Teamspeak PvP stuff, but just floating through pretty asteroid fields with the game music turned up. Dull? Yes. But relaxing.

This may be highly inflammatory, but I feel that someone needs to say it:
Please stop covering hardware.

You've recently been posting some things of the "build/upgrade your PC" sort. They feel...

Totally hooked on Wurm online. Also played a little bit of Hard Reset, but something isn't quite right with it.

Tried it, latency is way too high to play things properly, and video quality is unpleasantly low. Also had trouble rebinding my keys, although that may be game specific. Can't see much use for it.

Thank you, that was all I wanted to know.

This just popped up on my Steam. It says free-to-play and the video doesn't look completely crap, but RPS seems to have largely ignored it, which makes me wonder if there's something wrong with it.

Demonstrate some ability to learn and communicate and I'll gladly educate you:
noob: "Hi, I'm new to the game, let me know if I'm doing something wrong, ok?"
me: "Sure, no worries".

But if you...

CCleaner works and is safe. Don't install the bullshit toolbar it comes with though.

EverQuest classic. To be a noob in Toxxulia forest again. The UI is not the original one though, that was much, much worse and had no compass, just a Sense Heading button (which did nothing until you...
