Got a Dreamcast for Xmas with SA1 and SA2......let the good times roll......

Go get you a copy of Shenmue, son. Allow yourself to become immersed in the world it builds, and enjoy.

Man...Couldn't agree more. I'm still patiently waiting for Shenmue 3!!!

Tell me about that day.

What about Paradox's space strategy game Stellaris?



We could play a game like that.

Too bad you guys don't play Crusader Kings II. Get all the DLCs. The game is absolutely huge now. This game easily has many years worth of gameplay left in it.

It would be absolutely awesome if they added Mesoamerica and Andean civilizations and provided the option to do the Sunset Invasion.

It was severely lacking content before, but I haven't played since the big update.

There is this one too:



It's a space survival game we could play as a group, trying to build a colony and so forth.

I just bought the Kerbal Space Program and it is fun as shit but it seems that once my rockets are in space, I lose all control over them. As reentry is a bitch. I have already lost three of my astronauts.

(1) You probably ran out of electricity. You need to unlock the technology to put batteries on your ships so they last longer. Eventually you will unlock solar panels that will generate power.

(2) When you reenter, you want to do so at an extremely shallow angle. Early in the game, you lack heat shielding. Going far from low orbit is going to be a trick for reentry. The best approach is to dip your periapsis to just inside the upper atmosphere (somewhere in the mid 60k altitude range). Then let the drag slow your ship down. You might have to make a few orbits while your apopapsis dips down towards the atmosphere. But when you fall, you need to slow down significantly before reaching the mid atmosphere when you have no heat shields.

Once you start hitting a certain ceiling on your launches, you need to pitch to the east as you ascend on take-off. Shooting straight up in the air isn't the way to reach orbit, nor how to descend.

Some stuff to get started.
