So you upgraded (or rather downgraded) to Windows 8?

Star Citizen has broken the $4.2 million record for crowd funding. They are currently at $4.5 million.

And that is why we have DescentBB, freedom at its finest.

Aggressor Prime

We are still here, but we are not the same. The country is more divided than ever. A higher percentage of people are unemployed. And getting out of our debt is even more of a joke.

Aggressor Prime

Well, in 4 years, we will see if we are more in debt, whether more or less are employed, and how many bishops and priests have been sent to jail for failing to pay the HHS tax.

4 more years of depression and persecution against religious freedom.

LOL! That video is so hilarious. Sad, but hilarious.

I guess it ultimately depends on how strict you like to be with your language. I see space sim as any game that uses space ships. I see flight sim as any game that uses aircraft. I see mech sim as any game that uses mechs. Perhaps these could just be called space games, flight games, mech games, etc...

There is only one good game I really found for the console and that is Heavy Rain. Although Beyond: Two Souls should be just as amazing. And I say they are good console games only because you can't play them on the PC and their value of story outmatches the loss of having to use a console to play th...

That is a pretty low resolution. Granted, the concept is neat, but they need to increase the resolution to 1920x1080 per eye like modern 120Hz 3D displays.

Well, I'm pretty sure in the Vertigo Series, you were on space stations for some levels, in addition to the secret levels. I would have to start up Descent 1+2 again to give you the exact levels though.

Aggressor Prime

I just mentioned Descent as a space sim because that is how I always saw it. Of course you never fight in space, except on that one custom made map for Descent 3 (which had both a MP and SP aspect to it), but you are flying around in a spaceship with space grade weapons. Sure, most levels have you d...

Guys, this game already got $455,590 worth of pledges out of the $4 million needed within the first day despite the server crashing due to excessive flooding of visitors. I really think this game is going to be coming, and with it, the rise of Space Sim PC games. Maybe Interplay will get the hint an...

Funny, I only really played on a PC as a kid. I remember we got our NEC with a 75MHz Pentium in 1995. I was 7 when I played Descent on that thing. The only console I ever owned was a N64, and that was just an alternative gaming system since we only had 1 computer in the house at that time. By the ti...

One of the aspects to the game: "Our modding tools will allow players to design new ships for both submission to the persistent RSI ship dealer network or to build custom ships and items for the self-hosted multiplayer mode." (http://starcitizen.robertsspaceindustries.com/) Perhaps some De...

Just saw this from PC Perspective, and watching this trailer sent chills down my spine. Sure makes me glad to be a PC gamer and a lover of the great space sims out there like Descent.

But that has to do with a player's connection to the peers or server. I mean I guess you could twist the meaning to work with WoW.

Aggressor Prime

I don't know what you are talking about.

/begin rage From her posts, she doesn't know how to play WoW correctly. For instance, dungeon runs are not supposed to be events that take forever. If someone, normally the tank as they set the pace, can run you through a dungeon without pausing, you should be thanking him for allowing you to get in...

First asteroids, then planets, then an alien virus takes over our robots and kills us all until the Material Defender can save us.

Must also be a bug for Intel's integrated graphics. According to my GPU-Z sensors, Descent 3 doesn't even touch my dedicated GPU. Only my integrated graphics are used.

Aggressor Prime

I have a GeForce GTX 680M and a Core i7 3610QM (Intel HD Graphics 4000). Whether I select Direct3D or OpenGL, Descent 3 always seems to want to run from my integrated graphics, even when I select Descent 3 to run from my GeForce via right clicking the shortcut. Both my integrated graphics and my GeF...

I ended up trying Safe Mode. It worked fine from there. Now I just have to figure how to get 1920x1080 working correctly. I found out DirectX is a no go. Artifacts like crazy. OpenGL works though.

So I got a new laptop. I have Windows 7 Professional x64 on it and am trying to install Descent 3. However, whenever I hit the Setup.exe program from my CD, nothing happens. I see SETUP.EXE *32 in Windows Task Manager, but nothing is happening. Don't know why I am having this problem as I've been ab...

Great thread, although I would like to add a few notes on why it may be wise to wait. Ultimately, when to get an SSD depends on when your comfort zone of GB's matches your comfort zone of spending money. Two things will continue to improve, one in bursts, the other more steadily. 1. Speed in bursts....

First, this has nothing to do with cabled internet which is used by the majority of hard-core gamers. Second, WiFi solves this problem when one stays in a civilized location as WiFi is broadcasts by every major building (home/university/food/work/transport station) one is going to find oneself in.

Sound cards really don't provide much benefit these days except putting somewhat of a barrier between your analog signal and all the EM signals from your motherboard/video cards. Sound cards will provide slightly better sound, especially if they are shielded, but nothing beats an external DAC. If yo...

Ban sdfgeoff for triple posting. Sorry, you asked for it.

It was like the Earthshaker missile, but with a lot more bang, color, and flash, as if the ES didn't have enough of that. Also, it was HUGE! I don't know how my Pyro-GX held it.

1. The TV Tuners I used were external USB ones. I would think the PCI versions would have less problems with overheating since they allow for greater heat dissipation and can be cooled by the computer's fans. Then again, the 650 USB was pretty big, so I can't say for certain. Fans may be a must. 2. ...

I've used an ATI TV tuner, 2 in fact, the USB 600 and then the USB 650 which I replaced my USB 600 with in hopes of better results. I stopped using them for three reasons: 1. They overheated like crazy. 2. Their drivers were terrible. I can't tell you how many times the TV tuner crashed my system. 3...

Before Descent 3 came out, I had a Descent dream about what the new "10" missile would be. It was glorious, more glorious than the Black Shark.

Unfortunately, Obama's move really only offends the Church's leaders and its conservative members. Most Catholics actually support what Obama is doing. Now while the Catholic Church defines itself based on the whole of its members, its viewpoint remains grounded in its leaders whether or not some or...

As a Conservative, I really don't see how this is a liberal or anti-right commercial. The only seemingly political statement is support for American jobs with the emphasis on "our engines" and "imported from Detroit," probably due to the fact that it is an American car commercial...

This isn't about piracy. This is about a free internet. This law is way too broad to fight piracy. By its standards, visiting YouTube would be a criminal offense since YouTube contains a lot of copyrighted infringed content. Look up the part about "imminent infringement". Then of course th...

Take it this way, showing an ultrasound of the baby is part of a doctor telling you what he is going to do to you when he performs an operation on you. A doctor is required to give you all the relevant information, and in this case, Ron Paul is just supporting this ultrasound as an important piece o...
