I like the idea of going back to basics.  Rainbow 6 got a bit silly with gadjits and tings, it lost its grounding in reality and I liked the idea of it being realistic.

@Plumbers Crack Dave and I managed to get for a couple of hours last night to start our journey towards survival.
 
We started out at Outpost 42, a standard outpost with the basics to survive.  Including some basic power, a small amount of digital storage and a couple machines most notably a pulverizer and electric furnace.

 

 
We spent out first few days and nights completing the first handful of quest steps; gathering some basic resources and a few drops from mobs.  The world is a barren place with only snow and notsogudiam stone but thankfully the notsogudium can be smelted in to basic ingots allowing us to make some basic armour and tools.  Running the notsogodium chunks we got from mining through the pulverizer not only allows us to double our ingot production it also allows us to get additional silica dust which I'm sure will be useful later.
 
In hunting some mobs we have had a few small creeper incidents

 
We thankfully got away with our lives, though myself only narrowly getting back in to the outpost with half a heart of health remaining.  Dave survived the creepers too right up until he uttered his final words "oh look an Enderman" for the death message to appear that Dave was killed by said Enderman.
 
The left most hole in the snow in the above is our mine where we've been gathering the notsogudium to make our tools and start to expand our machinery to make life at this outpost better.  The outpost is located in a frozen ocean, so I dug down and placed some water so we could gather some squid which I know we'll need shortly.  We had a few basic rations but those went quickly once we started to take damage from mob hunting so the water also allows us to hunt some fish which are our primary source of food currently.

 
We have managed to add a little to our oupost though, adding a few furnaces allowing us to smelt more items and with the aid of a couple of hoppers, semi automate the smelting of the mined notsogudium chunks in to ingots.

 
This allowed us to collect enough notsogudium to make a singularity that produces infinite quantities of notsogudium chunks.  We've fed this directly in to a chest and in to the pulverizer and furnace combo to automatically produce ingots for us.  Tucked in the corner is also a coal singularity that produces infinite coal.  It takes gathering several hundreds of any resource to make a singularity so it's going to be a while until we singularities for other resources.
 

 
Due to the collapse of our home planet, we've been left with basically no resources so for now we're limited to the outpost.  But we're working towards brining back organic life and growing our first tree in this barren featureless snow covered world.  Once we have access to wood, our lives should become easier as we get access to apples to eat and wood to extend our outpost.  It also open up our ability to produce more resources as we move from surviving to thriving but that will have to wait until next time.

Interesting factoid about megadrive games by EA (with the yellow tab).  EA originally reverse engineered the genesis because SEGA wanted much stricter controls on who they would allow to make games.  Seeing they had a work around made SEGA buckle and grant them permission.

I'm currently loving synthwave music.  Check out The midnight, LeBrock and any other synthwave artist.  Love driving the MR2 with the roof down to this, feels like I'm in Outrun 😄

XBOX 360 isn't retro yet.  Fight me.

My favourite console was probably the 3DO.  I never actually owned one, but my mates did, and I spent a LOOONG time playing need for speed on it.  Good times.

My PS2 is currently booting from memory card to a network and reading games from my pc.  It's a pretty awesome setup, although Lee will hate it.

They only need to create the world and make it easy for people to create missions.  Downloadable missions, custom games etc etc.  If they only make a new map its not going to be as exciting, it needs to feel next gen, and that means another dimension to the game.  

To be honest, the mod community have made GTA V into a masterpiece.  All rockstar need to do is create a basic game and leave it to the community.
