I picked up Uplink as part of a Humble Bundle. It reminded me of the "Hacker War" type games I played on the BBS'es of yore back in High School. The premise is that you are a hacker and start with a few bucks and take on assignments to hack systems and get money to upgrade your computer to hack into more difficult systems. I guess all that to say is that its a text based computer hacking RPG. And... its fun.

I created an account and the tutorial allowed me to make a few hacks easily enough. I found the UI of the game to be a bit confuzzling a few times. Its not hard to navigate after you figure it out. The game UI is essentially a re-visioned Operating System UI similar... Read All

A semi regular list of things happening on Cheerful Ghost. Served up with an extra dose of rad-sauce.

New Faces on Cheerful Ghost:

In the last few days our community size has increased by 15% and Google tells me that the amount of new users on the site VS people that come back all the time is now a 50/50 split. That means for every two people that come to Cheerful Ghost one of them has never come to the site before.

I recently added a new feature to the site to help bring more people to the community as well. On the main home screen there is a button "Invite Your Friends" that you can use to easily send invitations to join Cheerful Ghost. I upped... Read All

Decided to try many of the PS3 game demos I have had on my system for a bit and PixelJunk SideScroller was one of the good ones I played. Think Gradius meets Space Invaders meets beautiful graphics.

I wasn't good enough in my first play through to beat the demo but I will go back and play it again because its just so much fun. The graphics and play controls are really great. You can switch between three weapons to start off. The machine gun is your typical arcade space ship weapon, fast bullets to kill bad guys. You can use a laser that takes time to recharge but can cut through ice, which is useful when you have to move through big blocks of ice. The other weapon you... Read All

This game is so cool. It may look easy but once rush hour comes the ships try to crash into each other. My high score is 35, but I will keep working on it.

Is it like Flight Control?

It's a fun game. So far my high score is 51 cargo drops. So frantic later on!

Jdodson says yes it is like flight control

Tungsten wrote on 05/06/2012 at 03:33pm

It's funny: I can fly around a battlefied at 200km/s, shooting people out of the air whilst keeping track of my enemies, my team's flag, and my ammo, but guiding boats/planes into a harbor/airport is too much for me.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/06/2012 at 07:42pm

I agree, its so hard. I know a guy who claims he got to the 70's. WHO IS THIS JEDI?

Talky Post Author wrote on 05/10/2012 at 05:33am

I got up to 96 today! It was stressful n awesome. No I did not undo a crash to get it either.

Elder Scrolls MMO Details (not completely sure how reliable this is, but it's been linked to on some major sites).

Honestly... disappointed. This looks like every other MMO we've ever seen, which isn't all bad, but it certainly isn't going to pull me in.

Fantasy Flight is releasing more details on the new Descent:

Fantasy Flight is releasing more details on the new Descent: Journeys in the Dark second edition printing. Had to share some details with all yall because they were pretty interesting. As I wrote earlier about the new Descent, they are allowing the Overlord player a bit more to work with than it had previously. One such element is that the Overlord has some light deck building and classes available.

Fantasy Flight also removed the cork on one playable hero as well.

Well, I've got to bitch for a second. The stupid pre-downloader for this game is driving me nuts. I run it for like 5 minutes, and it just closes: no error, no exception, no sign that anything went wrong except that it just gone.

You can pick up where you left off, but I've been downloading it as much as I've been able to (I don't have the best bandwidth), and I'm just over 60% done. That is after over a week.

I've tried Admin mode, Safe mode, no anti-virus. I've got a ticket in with Blizzard, but... eh... not really sure what to expect there.

Okay. A little bit of seething and I feel better... okay that's not true: I'm pissed.

Blizzard! Diablo or GTFO!

Have you had problems with this game or others too? What version of Windows? Vista? Frustrating either direction. Recently installed 7 and it works really well. Old hardware?

Tungsten Post Author wrote on 05/05/2012 at 08:56pm

windows 7, newer hardware, never had a problem before with anything, let alone a downloader. If it was the game itself, it would be a little easier to swallow... but the downloader? I've downloaded millions of things, but Blizzard has to make it complicated.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/05/2012 at 08:57pm

Yeah, sounds like you are doing everything right then. Totally sucks, hope it all works by the 15th.

Tungsten Post Author wrote on 05/06/2012 at 03:33pm

Up to 4.78GB. Just 2.82GB to go before the 15th.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/06/2012 at 07:43pm

Awesome, upgrade from your 28.8 soon! :)

I'm still running through AOL Online. I've got to reinstall though... where's that floppy disk...

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/08/2012 at 12:56am

Hmmm sort of formatted over all mine.

Tungsten Post Author wrote on 05/08/2012 at 01:25am

Oh man, I used to use to use those for everything. I had cases full of AOL diskettes reappropriated to hold 1/40th of a rar file for some game that I *borrowed* from a friend.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/08/2012 at 02:13am

Totally. As you were talking about AOL the first thing I was reminded of was the disks I formatted and put Wolf 3D and Doom on. I had more disks than HD back then and the best way to get them was AOL. Well certainly the cheapest.
