I haven't played Starbound yet, I've been waiting. I'm glad to get an update on the development of the game. I've been wondering when it would be released. I feel like I can sympathize with Chucklefish in trying to have a central hub of developers. Sure there are remote tools out there and such, but I think that face-to-face contact will be a big help. It would also solve their time management issues. I'm sure that once everyone's together then development will speed up and hopefully we'll see that in the quality of the game.

As for when to play Starbound, I'm still not sure. I believe all I have to do is tell "someone" that I'm ready and he'll hook me up (yet again and gratefully). If that offer still stands "T" *cough*, then I'm probably ready for it as I've been playing Minecraft and growing tired of it (playing and not knowing why I'm still playing it). Otherwise, as stated above, I'm sure once the team is together then that will be a great time to play or prepare for a significant update or release date.

As I mentioned in Travis's Minecraft post, I've been watching one of my favorite YouTube gamers, Paul Soares Jr. Before playing Minecraft, I watched his "Survive and Thrive" series. I just recently finished watching his "Paul Plays Minecraft" series. I noticed he has some Starbound (and Terraria) videos as well, so I've started watching those. Initially, when I first saw video of Starbound, I thought it looked a bit ugly, but after seeing more of it, that initial impression is fading. The game looks like a glorified Terraria, which is good really. I like some of the game mechanics I've seen so far. It's cool how gravel works in the game (like water) along with sand. There also seems to be LOTS of items. I'm also curious about how to tell if an alien is friendly. Apparently some are and some aren't, but even the friendly ones can be killed. Anyway, the game does look interesting and I look forward to watching more of Paul's videos. It may be getting time for me to jump in the game.

Good intentions aside, I guess the road to Hell is also paved with long-ass cart rails.

Wow, what a long ride! That was really cool, I wonder how all that was done. Is this update available? I wonder what other changes were made for this update. Ok, now I guess I'm gonna have to go investigate.

Ok, I didn't find what I was looking for, but found "Upcoming features" on the wiki: http://terraria.gamepedia.com/Upcoming_features

Where'd you get the info? I was looking for more details. I liked the mention of Terraria 2 on the site I included above.

Thanks, I'm following him now, too!

Yeah, though I've been neglecting Twitter for a while...

It looks like the Queen Bee is getting attacked by bees and the player is dressed like a bee. Hahahahaha, perfect for you bee lovers (though I'm not a hater, in real life I respect bees).

Meh...if they were making Warcraft themed fish tanks, I'd be more interested. And OMG with the drawn-out cliffhanger. Could have wrapped that entire episode up in 2 minutes. Worse than Dragonball Z.

I've never beaten the game. I'm not even sure if I've made it to the last sector, I think I've made it to sector 7. I tried the Advanced Edition, which put me at just over 60 hours in the game. I didn't survive very long, but I did enjoy some of the new things. Like Travis I was impressed because once I started up the game and realized not only that my crew were already in positions I normally place them, but I was able to set them to a hot key and have them return with the press of a button. That really impressed me. I did get a Clone Bay, but it was a bit late after one of my crew had died. I also enjoyed the new feature to the navigational map, with the ability to see where different points lead to. I didn't play AE very long and I didn't last very long either.

I finally made it to Sector 8 and I fought the final ship, which utterly destroyed me. Hahahaha.

First hearing of these guys. Good stuff!

Adym, I just watched all of the Phantom Menace and most of the Attack of the Clones review, and... hilarious! Maybe a little too overboard with the creepy sometimes, but the pizza rolls do have a magical way of balancing it out. Watching more...

It all makes sense now. Weren't there pizza rolls at the Halloween party last year? Is there anything in the crawlspace we should know about??
