While I'm not a fan of superhero games, with Insomniac working on Spider-man, it'll likely be a really good game...a departure for the series in recent years.

The new God of War looks awesome. I'm looking forward to killing Thor and Odin, though I get the feeling the Loki fight may be a bitch.

I think the Cross Platform thing is less about trying to kill the Xbox, and more about trying to push Windows 10, as, sadly, you need to get the games from the Windows 10 Store. Windows 7/8.1 users are left out in the cold, making their new slogan "Play without Boundaries" a tad ironic.
I was finally able to get on and prepare to start the other day (my new comp has, I'm convinced, literally been screwing with me). Hopefully I'll get back on in a day or two and find a nice, unclaimed mountain area.
Good thing the Dragon can be respawned now.
I know the feeling. I've lost so much good stuff over the years because of similar happenings. That's why I reassign(ed) drop to B.
Crap...missed that. Still though, I can run Minecraft a HELL of a lot better now. I'll have to install it in the morning and hop on.
Must...install...Minecraft...oh, and my new rig has tons of power for Optifine and perhaps some shaders. 
My apologies for reviving this threadI think you're well within your rights to be a Thread Necromancer here.
As for a Rocket League Tournament, it would give me an excuse to pull the trigger and get the game. If only my new PC wasn't on hold due to part availability.
Curse you for posting seconds after me, and me for forgetting the img tags.
EDIT: Thanks mod. My bad.

Seems I'll be in good company when I get my shit together, get my own place and a cat.
Until then, meet Goma.

That's a nice design. Must be easy to defend. I look forward to playing. I've got a few ideas I'm looking forward to trying.
My poor corpse. 
This is the one that will put into better context, why me winning Archie's prize was so hilarious (Page 2, about a third of the way down)...though you don't get to see his frustration of getting his ass kicked by me.
Looking forward to next time Archie.

Unless things have changed in the last month since JackFrags posted this video, it's free, pre-alpha and basically 100% community driven. It looks fun, but at this time, I can't play it. While my Core 2 Duo may be able to run it in some low detail, horrible FPS form, my GTX 285 isn't DX11 compatible.
Source engine games are fine though, 95% of the time (my drivers crash and I have to restart the game )

)Another tournament would be fun, though each time it seems to get harder to get a spot in the TS server.
Perhaps we should consider Black Mesa Deathmatch.

That's usually how it is, isn't it? We come to play games with friends, we stay to have a laugh and make fun of Dimbeak in TS.
Oh, forgot to ask after it ended, what was the special combo worth 100 tickets?
Archie's prize goes to TawnosPrimeTo truly understand why this is hilarious, you either had to be on TeamSpeak, or watch the highlights (should they be produced).
Thank you for organizing/hosting this rufee. Best. Night. Ever!
It's going to take a hell of a lot more than that to get me a life.
The new date just happens to overlap with pre-release events for the new Magic: The Gathering set, which I enjoy. I'll miss at most the first 2 hours.
As for bitchy, having to get up that early is a pretty good excuse to be. Any time I have to get up before 12pm, I have a hard time.

In NA, the start time will range from 1pm to 5pm, depending on location. Unless they work in civil protection (police/fire/etc.), or some kind of customer service, we typically have the day off.
Personally, I currently have no job/life, so I can play at (almost*) any time.
*Edited after realising that I'll be late because what little life I have will delay me this time.

Overall chances improve, but funny moment highlights for the post tourney videos decrease.
And there's no way it'll look like that. I'd show the true picture, but I don't have the skill to photoshop a stick body on there.
That game does look interesting, but I haven't played that type of game since SimCity 2000, and at the time at least, I couldn't get into it for very long.
I might get it if it goes on sale for cheap...and what I think is a single install limit only means one computer at a time (limited installs tend to be deal breakers with me)...and I get a comp that can run it without the houses looking like potatoes.

If it's the 21st, I'll be late. I play Magic and there's a pre-release event that weekend, so I won't be home until 30 min to an hour after our tourney starts.
That said, I'll be happy to get on as soon as I get home to get rekt rek you all.

I have no life, so pretty much any day/time is good for me.
CSSTOP kinda works for me.
I'm still using a GTX 285, and as I'm sure you guys have heard, there's a long standing issue with GeForce 2xx and 3xx series cards and the Source engine. Between them being legacy cards at this point and neither nVidia or Valve saying 'it's on our end', I doubt it'll ever get fixed.
I can only play for [insert random time interval] before my driver crashes, and I have to:
[if windowed = yes] restart the game.
[if windowed = no] force restart my comp.

I'm down for some CSGO.
While, yes, the shape is uncommon (I've got a similarly oddly shaped plot near me, only with one arm), it's not not unheard of.
Using this Google Maps area tool, puts the total property at about 3.9 acres. Zeeba's corner is about 0.17 acres, and, though not quite square, around 87' by 87'. Looks like a good size to me.

Same here AJ. I currently can't even afford to replace my ageing 5yo comp (runs BF4 @ ~15fps on low, and can't load anything DirectX 11).
Congratulations, who just summoned the demon hidden in the texture!
Seriously, cool little find. Now place some hidden entities so that when someone shoots/uses it, the eyes glow and it kills the player.

I realize now my mic volume was too low.
It may be too late, but are we doing a VOIP thing, or just playing?
Once the map list is finalized, a unified zip would be nice, to make sure everyone is up-to-date (or has an easier time of getting everything :P).
As long as your security guys aren't going to think we've found a way into your systems to steal your source code to hack your registers/control systems, I'm good. 
Sadly, the only 'map' I've ever completed enough for any kind of release, a dev textured version of the mansion from Luigi's Mansion, has been lost to the ages afaik.
Sounds cool. Will there be a list of all maps for download far enough in advance, or a collective archive for single download? I'll have to reinstall CS.
That's cool. Now my tombstone isn't there.
After spending 2 hours in single player, trying to figure out the game, I hopped on the server to check it out. After walking over to a stray NPC to check things out (during the day) without event, I started back to spawn, only to be slain...by a Pixie. Those things are surprisingly strong.

Those things are surprisingly strong.This sounds like an awesome idea, and atm, I have no life :), but also no money :(.
Just bought it, but not sure when I'll be on atm. It was easy w/ Minecraft, 'cause I could run it on Ubuntu (daily activity OS), when I had free time. However, to play Terraria, I've got to restart and boot into Windows, which I usually only do a for a couple hours at the end of the night for a few rounds of Battlefield.
Hopefully the Linux version will be viable/released soon.

Hmm...Terraria is $2.19. I have that in my wallet...maybe.
If only I could play it on Linux.

In recent years, Canada has gotten the deals too. The difference here is that they aren't nearly as deep, and we maintain our sanity.
OK, so based on your recommendations, I'll switch the 2 x 2TB drives and save a bit of money (and potential hassle w/ installations/moving games) by going w/ a 1TB drive for Origin (FYI, BF4 w/ all five DLC is 58GB, 20 more than BF3), Battle.NET and possibly UPlay games, and a 3TB for Steam games.
However, back on topic :P, given that it'll house just Windows, launchers and modding tools, and no games, should the SSD be 120 or 240?

It's funny you're all telling me not to go RAID. They're very common in gaming PCs from the major manufacturers.
Black Friday, is the Friday after the American Thanksgiving, and is considered the kick-off to the holiday shopping season (though coming pretty late this year it seems). It started years ago w/ retail stores giving insane and often time sensitive discounts on items that would create shopping frenzies, with ppl lining up the night before, and doing everything they can to be first into the store, occasionally w/ nasty results (youtube 'black friday mob' and black friday death count.)
Cyber Monday is the online counterpart, where online retailers offer similar discounts the following Monday, only w/o the craziness.

From what I've seen, for the $110 increase, I get 0.5GHz and HT, which games still don't take advantage of.
The problem with a single large SSD for the popular titles, is that with game installs getting bigger and bigger (BF4 for example, uses close to 50GB (guess with Final Stand out today)), it'll become increasingly necessary to move the installs around. There's also the cost factor, as large quality SSDs are pricey.

The RAID setup is for speed more than anything. Trying not to bottleneck the load times any more than necessary. I've got three tiers of builds over on PC Part Picker. The first two, the sensible builds, feature RAID 0 storage drives for speed, and back-ups would be on a NAS device. The third, the balls to the wall build, based on a video I saw that was a 'proof of concept'/'wtf is the industry coming to', uses RAID 10.
As for data security, I'm confident that the risk increase over a single drive is worth the performance jump.

If I can get the funds together, I'm hoping to get the parts for a new computer, be it Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
I'm hoping to soon build a new rig, so I can finally upgrade from my current set-up:
My only uncertainty now is the size of the SSD, and I wanted to get your opinions on it. Should I go with a 120/128GB or a 240/256GB SSD?
-Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.0GHzI'm looking at a 'budget' (ha ha) build consisting of:
-nForce 750i SLi FTW
-4GB DDR2 800 2x2GB
-640GB 7200RPM
-GeForce GTX 285 1GB
-Core i5-4690K @ 3.5GHzThis system will be used to only play games. My plan is to install Windows 7 (probably Windows 10) and the various game launchers (Steam, Origin, Battle.NET, odd etc.) on the SSD, and install the games on the RAID drives. I've not decided how I'll handle tools, like GIMP or Blender (or similar), should I start modding again. They'll either be on the OS drive or on a secondary Linux system, which would be my daily driver.
-Z97i AC mITX
-8GB DDR3-1600 1x8GB
-OS SSD
-2 x 2TB 7200RPM in RAID 0
-GeForce GTX 970 4GB

Sounds cool, if only I had the game. I've heard it's fun.
At the time of this post though, 'up and running' seems to be a relative term.
