Personal Review: First off, this game is still in Alpha stages, its one of Steam's Greenlight projects. So keep that in mind please So I played this for about 2 hours last night. I'm not 100% sure of it. It could be fun, but the main focus of it is more building and then raiding your neighbors for supplies. Guns, Rockets, and Turrets are easy as hell to make, where as Reactors and other components are pretty complex. Sure this is actually true to life, but I more so enjoy the building aspect of things. IDK, part of me regrets purchasing this. Part of me really enjoys the free flying aspect and being able to make massive mining ships and space stations, but the problem is whats the purpose, whats the end result? Once you have a reactor, you never have to worry about dying to loss of energy (Food) You don't have to worry about air at all in fact. The largest worry there is, other than other players coming and shooting you in the face, or sitting at range destroying everything you built in the last few hours, is Metorites. Holy fucking god I was sitting there, mining for some uranium to make another reactor, and BAM explosions all around me. Quick video, because the meteors will destroy your shit Right now there is nothing you can do to protect yourself, other than Stack multiple layers of armor, or hollow out an asteroid and build inside of it. I have no idea if they plan on putting in some sort of point defense system to target asteroids, or even to put in some sort of shield. (Minecraft has all these in Tekkit and FTB for the mod packs with Meteor strikes, so I can imagine that Space Engineers will do something similar) I think my biggest problem so far with the game is that once I had a reactor, I stopped being scared of what I could and couldn't do. When I died, and I did a few times on purpose, and to accident, you arrive on another ship, which you can immediately salvage for free armor, cockpit, thrusters, landing gear, Reactor, and occasionally a gravity generator....... So basically, if you kill yourself a few dozen times right at the start, you never have to worry about dying again...... (unless some asshole raider comes along, shoots you, and then swipes your shit) The game is in Alpha though, so I expect most of this to be worked out in the end, but right now, I sort of regret spending my sons birthday present to me on this. Thoughts on Multiplayer: Much like Minecraft though, I think this game would be amazing if there were community projects and people working on a server not hellbent on shooting up everything they see. Thoughts on Controls: way to much going on here, there is a button for literally everything. Which typically I would be okay with, except, when you are mining in an asteroid, you have to hit "T" to actually pick up what you are mining, and there isn't a setting to just auto loot... which annoys the absolute piss out of me. Closing Thoughts: Looking at the various creations out there, I think this game could be badassed, but right now, I just don't know. I need to look at what it takes to have a private server, I believe they are free, but I have no idea where they are hosted. Playing on a public server was pointless, It was worse than Day Z to be honest. I mined for about an hour or so, with some dude flying by in his little spaceship, watching me, and never talking. Once I had a reactor, and a decent platform up, he and his friends brought a ship around and started salvaging all I had done, I started yelling, and one of them shot me. I respawned, flew in, and it happened again, and they salvaged my respawn ship..... I stopped playing on that server after that. I started jacking around on a single player game, and looking at the various builds folks have out there. Link to a google image search: Some of my favorites so far:

oh shit, thats glorious

new Tutorial for the game So I just bought this and am going to play around with it tonight. If I ever figure out how to record myself, I will and then show you guys whats up

I am bored, and lazy, but I want to know how to make video game video's for youtube and shit Cal, I love your Prison Architect videos, and was debating on doing some for Minecraft and Space Engineers, but I don't know how

Sorry I couldn't be more help man, its a really shitty situation for everyone to be honest.

teehee

Not really sure what to say here to be honest. -------------- Does this mean you need to worry about your banking passwords and online bill payment crap? Truthfully, yes you do. Does this mean you need to run out and change all your passwords right now? No it doesn't, and here is why. This is NOT a quick fix, this is a huge endeavor, this is a huge amount of work, and most websites are not being open about how and when they are dealing with this issue. Your best course of action here is to monitor all of your various accounts very closely for the next month. Take action as needed to keep yourself safe. ------------- I keep falling back to that as my stance. Most websites are not being really forthcoming on if they are affected or not. There have been two posted lists so far for websites that are being proactive in all this crap. IF you have anything with any of them, then yes change your passwords. If not, then fall back to my post above: Monitor and change in about 2-3 weeks or so. The big take away here (and honestly after the way a few other companies have been hacked in the last few months, this should be your permanent stance), is to NOT trust any of these companies to protect you or give you information on whats what.

Holy fuck thats hysterical, thanks for that, I seriously needed it this morning

Personally, I changed all of mine that I knew were affected by this. Its a huge PITA, but better to be safe than sorry.

I asked for this for my birthday, but I think the wife got me a stack of older games that I had been wanting. Not really sure if I am winning or losing in this bargain. Worse comes to worse though, I will grab this at christmas time, but DAMN do I want it

For shits and giggles I backed up the Database for the forums last night, it was about 140mb, I will start adding this to my Friday maintenance process.

After the travesty that is BL2 came out, I just can't buy into this franchise anymore. IF they went back to guns that were 50/50 for non-gimmick/ gimmick, then I would pick it up. Gearbox seems to have fallen on really horrible times though, between Borderlands 2, Aliens Colonial Marines, and Duke Nukem, it just feels like the company has forgotten how to be decent

goddamn this game some I get like 1200, others I get like 1200000000000000000000000000000000 whomever posted this needs to get banned :-D

IS this the wheel of fortune kid? I can't click the link right now, but I really hope it is, cause DAMN

Any of you all played this one? Looks decent, if taken seriously

a better video skip about 30 or so seconds in

So this is a new game coming out, thats sort of like Minecraft, but set in space and what not. ITs supposed to be pretty badassed, but it is only in Alpha/ Beta so far This guy has a ton of videos on it

the definition of pissed off

2380 was my score, time for round 2............ 2964, this is tricky lolz thanks for sharing

this one made me cringe:

My wife has a ton of his books, I can get you the titles later. Check this out: http://www.reddit.com/r/FreeEBOOKS/ While there is loads of trash on there, it is worth watching for the good ones that come through. On the right hand side there are a bunch of colored genre's if you click them, it will let you search by that genre. All of these are also free per the publisher or author, so no fear of them being pirated or anything

thats classic
