General Discussion / Anyone In Oahu?
« on: October 20, 2013, 09:56:06 am »
Specifically in the Honolulu area or near? I've taken a job that starts next month (exact date unconfirmed) in Honolulu and would love to meet up.
On a side note, I'll have to wait and see what my housing is like but I would entertain letting people crash there for a cheap(er) vacation as I'll have company provided housing and I'll be solo for at least a few weeks.

Gadgets, Gizmos, and Computers / Video Switch For Desktop/Console
« on: September 23, 2013, 06:30:35 pm »
Does anyone use or have advice for a standard computer monitor setup with switch to easily change between console or desktop? I'm considering getting a PS3 but would want to run it on my computer console while avoiding constantly changing the connections to my monitor if possible.

You've probably seen them before, but if not the videos are relatively short. This one is impressive.
Can you say concussion?

Other Games and Interests / The Hunter- A Hunting Sim
« on: September 16, 2013, 10:38:26 pm »
I've never played another hunting sim before (i.e. Cabella's) so I have no reference point. In real life, I've not enjoyed hunting. This is a little more fun. It's a visually attractive engine. The base game is free, but you only have license to hunt Mule Deer. Be warned that beyond a hand full of missions, you won't be able to hunt the other varmints. You will earn some in game money for the missions you complete that you can buy some simple equipment and licenses with, but this game is like most that if you want to play you're going to want to upgrade membership or purchase in-game currency.
There is single player, and multiplayer as well as competition play.
For more details, here is the site: http://www.thehunter.com/feed/
If you want to upgrade from basic (free) membership, please use this link so I get credit! Or at least one person do so and then other folks can have a stab at refer a friend!
http://www.thehunter.com/register/?ref=maligner
To be honest, I am just dabbling and have not upgraded from basic. It's definitely different than the norm and that's gotten my attention. Graphically, it reminds me of DayZ but the environment looks better, IMO.
EDIT: I forgot to include the link for Steam Greenlight, where you can get more info and videos. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=94011364&searchtext=the+hunter

General Discussion / No More YouTube For Me
« on: September 12, 2013, 11:10:48 pm »
I just deleted my cookies, and when I tried to get on YouTube I did not automatically log in. Unfortunately, I can't seem to recall my info and I suspect it's tied to an e-mail address from the last state I lived in.
I see that making a YouTube account these days requires a gmail account. I did this to make a new channel and find that the changes they have made disgust me. For one, the avatar I've been using no longer meets the standard required, so I can't use it on the new channel
Channel deleted, goodbye YouTube.
The only thing keeping me tied to Facebook is people I've not seen in a couple of decades and may never see again. The daily BS I could easily dispatch with the click of a mouse. Perhaps it's time to make that move as well?

AKA War Thunder for dummies. 
Just came out on Steam for PC for $9. I linked an older app video because it featuers Sid himself and I don't believe the PC version is any different.

I am impressed with the push to make improvements to this system!
The video itself is really great. Even if the game isn't any fun, the videos are well done.

So the new applicant LateNight can be heard in Mumble but he can't hear me. He is running Windows 8. He checked the troubleshooting here http://mumble.sourceforge.net/FAQ/English
I'll keep checking into it, but has anyone else had this problem or have suggestion?
Thanks!

« on: July 26, 2013, 05:50:48 pm »
I'm considering buying a 4 pack on this, either the base game or the deluxe one. It's about 20% off to do this but I wanted to see if there's interest for people wanting to chip in. I'm also looking for feedback soon so I can make a decision!
