Miner Wars, a game that is due to come out next month, with both single player and multiplayer play. You control a mining ship-thing-manned-probe-thing, and you..Mine. With rockets. In space. Did I mention you mine asteroids in space?  ;D

Anyway, in space, all rock is destructible, with some very snazzy graphics, might I add. You..Do things, while you're mining such as...Ok, so I don't even know much about it..at all, and I read very little, but just watch the two videos, trust me, they speak for themselves.

This is what the blurb on the side states-

The story will introduce you to many types of missions: rescue, exploration, revenge, base defense, theft, transportation, stealth, search and destroy, pure harvesting, racing or just flying around and destroying everything you see.


I think it looks awesome.

I hope I get to carve my face into an asteroid.
On the other hand, if asteroid could be carved into shapes, I'm not sure I would want my face floating around an asteroid belt filled with phallic rocks.

I hate being so shallow in regards to a game that could be a really good time, but the voices of the two characters they introduce sound like they were produced with Simonize or Windows Scheduler.

Otherwise it looks like fun.

Space-peace militants? Wut?

Looks good. So, you can just blow a hole in an asteroid if you begin to crash.

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

Looks VERY cool. Downloading beta via BTorrent.

Wait... closed beta...  what do you have to do to get in??

EDIT: I, too, quite enjoyed Descent. Only ever played the 3rd, I seem to have heard that the 2nd was more popular...

You should all be ashamed of yourselves.  The obvious solution is to chain the baby up at the entrance as a kobold detector.
