Ghost Train

Ghost Train's guide to enjoying MMORPG's: (Inspired by experience from FFXI, EVE, and STO) 1)Start early 2)Pick most powerful melee/dps class. 3)Own everything / everyone. 4)Make lots of videos. 5)Quit before your class is nerfed. This will happen as surely as the sun rises every morning. 6)Regain real life. This leads us to the three laws of MMO's: 1) If an ability, attack or strategy works too well, it will be nerfed/adjusted/changed. 2) If you enjoy being a certain class/job a lot! ... it will be nerfed/adjusted/changed. 3) Blame everything on Chinese gold sellers.

B-wing didn't make it into the first X-wing game at first... but they gave it its own expansion later.

I'm not really sure where to post this since we don't have a ships thread... here is an "unusual" 1/700 Kitty Hawk carrier model. Link.. It's either revolting or awesome... take your pick . Projection of US military capabilities through moe moe kyun.

Isn't this the same guy who made that wicked transforming VF-4?

I don't give 2 rubbles about the PAK-FA's performance characteristics and whether it's superior to the Raptor, flying saucer, or the VF-171... the only thing that matters is when are we going to see a 1:72 model of this ?

I think there was an official Cryptic poll not long ago where Exelsior was selected as the next ship... so fingers crossed. Unfortunately, its hull design & size really allows it to be classed into the T2 cruiser group, which for most players will be a glorified taxi/mule. There is just no point in using any ship other than a T5 (rank permitting), which is something they should change. Maybe doing it like EVE where there are Tech 2 versions of every ship hull.

Somewhat related, but here are the photos of Square's Peace Walker Metal units due in September: Link

Lol I just watch the show and hit pause.

Yea unstable is a good word! ... at night I liek to sit in the corner turn off the lights, and listen to Linkin Park while I cut myself... Just kidding about that last part ...I am kind of a neat freak, but I just went through spring-cleaning, so a lot of stuff has been discarded. In my last job they tried to "drill" the concept of a clean desk to everyone, it was a company policy.... my buddy would spite them by leaving a single paper clip on the surface lol.

The movie will not suck if they document the Smurfs vs. Snorks War of 2012, a conflict that saw horrible devastation and untold losses. The first movie will be about the smurfs, and will end with the start of the military conflict. The second will examine the events of the 1st movie from the snork's perspective. All out combat is the theme of the third... but they find out that it's the evil humans that instigated the conflict. Thus the Smurfs, Snorks end the war and together with Care-Bear air support form a join special ops unit called Task Force-Hugz, which goes after those evil polluting human capitalists.

I had the Nanami-theme for a while too... the whole default ka-ching! piro-ring! pi-po! sounds got a bit annoying after a while lol.

This is my desktop-actual... not a lot going on. My new PSP is on the top left. You are all welcome to ask me to turn in my nerd-card... but I no longer own any desktop PC's. The lack of wire & clutter and abundance of space now is so refreshing. I just don't play any contemporary high-end PC games anymore, and upgrading your system three times a year just to keep up felt like a loosing battle, as the opportunity cost of doing so are the myriad of Yammies, models, and booze that I could be buying instead.

The Singapore / Malaysia localization of the movie will be modified to: All Look Same Lah...

Here, the giant stingray fighter is being serviced in its underwater hangar before sortying into another stealth mission of awesomeness.

On a more serious note, if they had to pick an "alternate" East Asian setting for this remake I would have picked South Korea, where instead of Karate, Kung-Fu, MMA, etc, ... our American hero learns to play Starcraft like a pro. You must construct additional pylons.

I've always gotten strong communism & proletarian revolution vibes from the Smurfs .

Who is this Jackie Chan? ... never heard of him.

Maybe the story will be about the unprecedented arrival of another Smurf with 2 X chromosomes...

Eden Press Financial News Wire Staff, June 17, 2047 Shinsei Industries (SEI) unveiled its latest prototype during the annual New Edwards air show. This model, classfied as the YF-19 AOC (Active Optical Camouflage) was created in response to a recent NUNS proposal request for a next generation stealth valkyrie to replace the aging VF-17 Nightmare. Its test pilots have nicknamed the craft "Caliburn." The AOC, shown here in the middle of its diagnostic cycle, features three overlapping nano membranes with hexagonal projection cells. The cells camouflage and blend the valkyrie into the surrounding airspace giving it an unprecedented advantage in combat. In mock close range encounters, the prototype achieved a 20:1 kill ratio against current generation VF-19S valkyries and a 15:1 ratio against the VF-22. Despite the much touted advantages of the new system, and Shinsei's offer to retrofit a number of the S variant VF-19's, inside sources from NUNS' procurement office indicate that the current project committee has mixed feelings about the prototype. Despite its superb performance, the projected unit cost is almost twice that of that of the VF-22. The unveiling of the AOC coincides with the 7 year anniversary of the VOCALOID incident, which paralyzed both the central government and UN Spacy for several hours. Details about the incident remain a closely guarded secret. The new valkyrie's design was inspired by former test pilot (now head of Shinsei's R&D beureau) Isamu Dyson's own experience at bypassing Earth's orbital defenses during the incident. General Galaxy is expected to unveil its prototype next week. The lukewarm reception to the prototype did not affect Shinsei's share price, as it gained 2.54 to close at 83.23. Now I'll put my fanfic hat away . This was my first Hasegawa 1:72 scale build. Lots of things went wrong, and lots of mistakes were made. At one point I was very close to just buying another one and starting over, but now that I've seen the final result I'm glad I stuck with it until the end. My main complaint is that there is some pretty serious color bleed-through from the pre-shading work to the white coat, which unfortunately I didn't notice until I was quite into the build (always work in a well lit environment lol). The end result is that the finish looks a bit more dirtier & weathered than I had wanted it. It was a good learning experience... I give myself a B- for effort and taking risks with an unusual camo design .

If I learned anything from US History Civil War videos is that the conflict was primarily 99% writing long a$$ letters to your wife/girlfriend/uncle/grandpa/dad/mom in the hopes that in the 20th century they would be read by some guy faking a Southern accent but seen by millions of people on the yet to be invented "tele-tube" ... that and Project SuperNova 19th century edition with the USS Monitor vs the CSS Merrimack.

Speaking of character MG's, I'm waiting for Bandai to make the Sheryl Nome Master Grade, then milk the mold with Black Bunny edition, though it will probably be online web JP onry exclusive ...

That is awesome. Simple, effective, and everyone knows wtf it means. Maybe overlay the word Google across it. By the way, you can post your mobile/PDA "desktops" too lol... does anyone have a good Macross-themed mobile phone? I'm looking for a good wallpaper for my Blackberry Bold, and too lazy to make one.

No... predator prefers to PvP with melee weapons.

Hmm... this thread has been comatose for a while. Anyone still play? I cancelled 2 months ago, but I heard there were some pretty bad nerfings especially for Science and Escorts and the BOP for that matter. (Developer: ... Just as planned!)

Black Dynamite as Guld ? ... or Isamu, frack he can be both and kick his own a$$.
