Name's James Freeman. Came over here since GenericBoard went to hell. Kinda pissed off at Nightkev, but I don't know what actually happened.

I'm a fan of Max Payne (especially 2, and even more so with the Cinematic mod), Team Fortress 2, Deus Ex, and Perfect Dark.

I'm currently writing a book, by the way. My screen name is the one main character's name, although the avatar is from Max Payne (I can't draw worth a damn).

Max Payne was the first game to include bullettime effectively (and was conceived before The Matrix made bullettime common). Max Payne 2 takes this above and beyond with Bullettime 2.0: killing enemies 'supercharges' your bullettime, slowing things down even further and making you even more dangerous.

Recommended mods:

Closer to Truth: Lobby edition
Adds various 'gun-kata' moves, infinite bullettime, and some badass specal moves. Still very unfinished and unpolished, though.

CINEMA MOD 2.0
Personal favorite here. Cinema gives you better bullettime with a faster regeneration, replaces the useless sawn-off shotgun with a colt Anaconda, and gives you several new weapons (single and dual Suppressed Berettas, dual MP5Ks (the MP5 was replaced with an MP5K), and a minigun).

I want to play Perfect Dark on my computer, but I don't have a gamepad (and using a joystick is a big no). Anyone know of a way to use a mouse/trackball?

TAGAP: The Apocolyptic Game About Penguins
Yes, Penguins. An awesome platforming shoot-em-up. You've gotta try it to understand.

I know I really need to play the Max Payne games... but it's just so damn hard to look at the first one... it might be one of the ugliest games ever.

No, that would be MechWarrior 2. That game's graphics sucked a lot more than Max Payne 1.

1806: Modern-day computer invented. Technology in other areas is kick-started to modern levels.

1850: First moon landing.

1860: First permanent settlement on moon.

1900: First human mission to mars.

1920: First permanent settlement on mars, named Phoenix 1.

1921: Germany invades the United Kingdom.

1926: The Old World Alliance is formed after Germany is expelled from the United Kingdom; Germany builds up weapons, including a great deal of fightercraft.

1939: Hitler’s Nazi Germany declares war on the OWA, USSR, and America. Germany’s fightercraft dominate the battlefield.

1943: First aerospace fighter, the Black Kite, developed by Alison Keyborez; rushed into service by the American Air Force.

1945: End of World War II; Hitler captured and brought to trial; sentenced to life in prison.

1946: Hitler escapes prison, aided by his elite ‘Hammer of Dusk’ joint strike commandos.

1960: Theory of faster-than-light travel by use of multi-dimensional manipulation published.

1966: First sub-atomic particle and radiation shield (SAPRS) created; makes travel between planets much less dangerous.

1980: Mono-dimensional transistor invented, allowing instantaneous communication.

1990: First Faster-than-Light (FTL) ship built, named Polaris.

1995: Sightings of a habitable planet with possible life.

1996: First contact with the Kranath.

The ‘Kranath’ were a cat-like race; although they where not as advanced as us in the way of space travel, they quickly outpaced us at genetic manipulation, cloning, and computer technology. Soon, a FTL transport fleet was in operation; going between planets was as easy as travel on the high seas.

It is now 2014, and the alliance with the Kranath has stretched to the breaking point. The New Galactic Order has already taken complete control of the Fringe World Federation, and their next target might just be the Kranathian homeworld: Kranatha.

There is a saying among the Kranathians: What lies behind us and lies before us are small matters compared to what lies right to our faces. Horrors have appeared that eclipse concentration camps, backed up by debate-stifling propaganda, elitism, and paranoia. This is what the NGO is, and it will not tolerate the ‘impure’. The Kranathian Systems Alliance will not stand for it, and the depths of hell seem closer than ever before…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is Storm Burner?

Storm Burner is a slightly steampunk-ish sci-fi. There are no lasers (Plasma cannons and pulse guns instead), and no hand-held energy weapons. Computers still have keyboards, trenchcoats are still badass, and... Well, I'll leave the surprise to be revealed a little later. In any case, high-octane action is included. Due to formatting issues, I'll be uploading chapters as word files and then posting links here.

Promotional poster
-A slightly movie-esq promo for those who need something to post somewhere. A bit of a stop-gap solution for now, as it's still a word file.

Is it just me, or does it seem like it's impossible to remove this guy from ever existing no matter how much you alter history?
Seems so ;

More or less a law, since Hitler was so damn evil. Removing the holocaust from history just feels wrong.

EDIT: Also, note that the story is nowhere near finalized at this point. And, no, that is NOT a Chekhov's Gunman there; Hitler will not make an appearance (alive, at least. Might have his head in a bucket or something as a joke, sorta like the exploding toaster).

I have the coolest gloves on earth. I also dyed my hair red recently. I should update the Your Face thread ...


Coolest glove on earth? How about one with a GUN in it?


Anyway, good to see you again Arbe. Sorry I kinda disappeared, Deus Ex and NetHack can do that to you.

Tyrian 2000
This is one hell of a free shoot-em-up. Then again, it wasn't always free.

You start out as a terraforming pilot, Trent Hawkins, who gets thrust into the middle of an intergalactic war and is forced to blast his way to freedom with whatever he can find or buy... which range from simple civilian fighters to high-powered mercenary freemarket ships.

There are dozens of upgradeable weapons to choose from, ranging from somewhat weak (vulcan gun) to uber-strong, such as the MegaCannon (shoots massive shots that do tunneling damage) and the Lightning gun (maximum level makes for a constant stream of high-damage lightning bolts).

However, even that's not enough to save the known universe from hostile takeover; you can buy a pair of 'sidekicks', drone ships with unique properties - which range from simple blaster platforms to the powerful Zica Charger and the devastating battleship-class firebomb.

Each 'chapter' is practically a game in and of itself, and there are four chapters... lots and lots of blasting stuff, and the story is surprisingly good. You'll probibly need DOSBox to run it properly, though.

(Just a note: I got interested in this game after I played this game on an arcade machine. I think there might still be a few surviving arcade cabinets, but I don't know where they are if they still exist.)

What happens when a zoning decision forces you out of buisness, and you lose the trial to get it back?

Most people (including myself) would get over it and move on. Keyword: most.

Meet the KillDozer:


It seems that one Marvin Heemeyer took getting his revenge to the logical extreme.

From Wikipedia:

The machine used in the incident was a Komatsu D355A bulldozer fitted with makeshift armor plating covering the cabin, engine and parts of the tracks. In places, the vehicle's armor was over one foot thick, consisting of concrete sandwiched between sheets of steel to make ad-hoc composite armor. This made the machine impervious to small arms fire and resistant to explosives; three external explosions and over 200 rounds of firearm ammunition fired at the bulldozer had no effect on it. National Guard units were placed on standby orders by Governor Bill Owens for possible anti-armor support.


In other words: this was more-or-less a home made TANK. They where asking the National Guard to come in with an armor-piercing machine gun because they couldn't do anything against the KillDozer.

Wikipedia:

Two things conspired against Heemeyer as he reduced the Gambles hardware store to rubble. The radiator of the dozer had been damaged and the engine was leaking various fluids, and Gambles had a small basement. The bulldozer's engine failed and Heemeyer dropped one tread into the basement and couldn't get out. The bulldozer became stuck. About a minute later, one of the SWAT team members who had swarmed around the machine reported hearing a single gunshot from inside the sealed cab. The coroner stated that Heemeyer used his .357-caliber handgun to kill himself.

Heemeyer's body was subsequently removed by police with a crane, though it took twelve hours for them to cut through the hatch with an oxyacetylene cutting torch.


Total damage: over $7 million.

Not per se a separate game (NetHack has been mentioned before), but Vulture's Eye and Vulture's Claw are isometric graphics versions of NetHack and SLASH'EM (Super Lotsa Added Stuff Hack - Extended Magic, one of the more popular mods for NetHack) respectively.

You can download it HERE; it's very nice if you can't stand NetHack's ASCII interface, although Vulture's Claw is a little rough around the edges.

Dunno if they're rare but I own:

Shadowcaster
Mageslayer
Perfect Dark

Does anyone know if the first two are rare?



I haven't heard of them, and they don't seem to be very common as far as I can figure (and Shadowcaster looks awesome, too). I'm no expert, but Shadowcaster looks like it would be the rarest; it's an FPS game (well, FPS/adventure) that came out before DooM, which means they hadn't really taken off yet.

Super anti spyware - One of the best spyware/malware/trogan/adware detection and removal tools I've ever used. It has saved my computer at least once (got a malware bomb hiding as a flash update, it wasn't pretty). There is a commercial version, but the free version works just as well (although it lacks auto-scanning).

Google Chrome - a free web browser from Google. I prefer Firefox, but this deserves to be mentioned anyway.
