"I don't play games unless it's CoD 54 or up. You wouldn't last 2 seconds in the Saturn ring wars scrub."

Is...is it wrong that I now want this? I mean think about it, a shooter where the player(s) are in zero-g, have to navigate with thrusters ala KSP EVA suits and then maybe you have ships flying around having their own battle and you can magnetize your boots to the hull to catch a ride out of, or into a sticky situation. And there's asteroids and debris inbetween because rings. Plus railguns and missles with a range in the 10s of kilometers....I WANT THIS SO MUCH NOW. Granted CoD would screw it up of course, but the idea is sound.

Whadda 'bout bacon on the free pizza?

Hmmm?

Good bacon and good pizza do not mix. If they do, the world explodes.

So you're saying we have now weaponized pizza and bacon?

WE ARE GODS

This sounds amazing. We need to nuke Activision or something before they get their mucky paws on it.

i love the analogys of the ghost in prequel

I didn't really put much thought into it but yea, space infantry combat game based around someplace like saturn's rings?  That would be pretty damn awesome.

I can think of good game ideas without even trying!  Hire Greiger for your next game design.  I only charge 10% of the gross profits.  Hire your own Greiger today before somebody else snatches him up.  Like valve...probably valve.


@bacon Pizza
Make homemade pizza crust.  Apply sauce, cheese and maybe pepperoni.  Place in oven to bake.  5 minutes before the pizza is finished baking apply bacon to frying pan.  Fry bacon. Remove fully cooked pizza from oven.

And finally combine the pizza with the bacon then rejoice because it is the second coming of Pizza Jesus.

I think zero-g combat would be more fun for indoors environments. 10km range railguns just sound like the same old boring sniper vs sniper crap.

although everybody seems to have missed the point about the analogies about telekinesis. The ghost was saying manipulate the magic around the peg rather then use your own magic.

or maybe im just saying that because thats kinda how magic works in the magic academy game im running

Unfortunately it died, I don't think any servers are still up, let alone populated... But there was a Source Engine mod that is *exactly* what you guys are talking about. Zero-g fighting, asteroid belt, can use ships, etc.

It might not be as dead as I thought? But it also might not have the zero-g fighting/infantry-in-space that I remember. I swear you could exit the ship in infantry and jet over to the enemy ship! D:

Shattered Horizon. Check it out. It's even based in a planetary ring!

Taking a break to see Guardians of the Galaxy this afternoon. Also might go catch a movie later.

I'm going to fucking drown in knowledge this semester. Feels good. I'm still not entirely sure how I wound up taking a course on International Law, but I'm both wildly unprepared and highly motivated to get prepared by the time exams roll around. And on days I'm not doing that, I have all manner of computer science classes I have no business being in to study for. :3

Hooray for knowledge.

free food is the best.

Right? I've got like, two different grad student orientations to attend next week - attendance is ensured through the offer of free food.

free food was always the best part of the university talks we used to have i cant remember which one it was but one of the universities had these amazing jellybeans.

The Elder Scrolls games now have two different conflicting explanations for why Cyrodiil is a jungle.

Fuck your canon, ain't no such thing.

Im going to assume you mean half life 2 mod a source engine mod would just be a new engine. maybe you meant a game made with the source engine but in that case mod is defiantly the wrong word.

[Descan]

No, source engine is correct. It's using the source engine, and it's a modification :V

You don't need to have HL2 to play it, therefore it cannot be a half life 2 mod. You just need a source engine game, like TF2 or Counter-Strike: Source. If you could get it stand-alone, it wouldn't be a mod. The fact that you need another source game to provide the engine, that makes it a source engine mod~!

[Putnam]

Counter Strike is a Half-Life mod, but Counter Strike: Global Offensive is a game.

It's pretty difficult to tell the difference once your modding tools have enough capabilities.

Heck, Dota's a Warcraft III mod, but Dota 2's a Source Engine/Source Engine 2 game; Hero Line Wars is a mod for Warcraft III and a mod for Dota 2. Mods and games and distinctions are getting friggin weird.

Less than an hour till I'm an adult, and I've finished hand crafting a character sheet for my next FGRP game. Now to proofread the OP, and get ready to publish it in the morning.
