Other Games / Star Wars Humble Bumble II
March 01, 2016, 05:25:11 PM
Long time no see, eh?

   Anyways for those who don't know, Humble Bumble has launched their second Star Wars sale.  The games are mostly very old titles, with a few from the previous sale thrown in.  The prices (as of post) are $1, $7.32, and $10 for the different tiers.  There's also a shirt for $35 with all the games.

If I weren't so darn lazy I would list the games, so look at the link.

More games will be added later.  For those that don't know, you can still get those games if you order now.

https://www.humblebundle.com/star-wars

I'll probably buy the games, despite already owning a lot of them.  If I do decide to get the package (Most likely I will) I will distribute the codes for the games of which I already own in a "first come, first serve" manner.

On an unrelated note, it is quite nice to see the community still active.

2015 looks to be great year for gaming, with plenty of promising new titles coming out. So what games are you guys excited about?

Some of the games I am looking forward to are...

No Man's Sky looks very, very cool. I didn't know much about till I did some research. I definitely want this game.

Dying Light looks pretty fun, but I don't think I will get it until later this year. Or if I have some extra money.

Homefront: The Revolution looks good, but I think it also may be a while before I purchase it.

Star Wars Battlefront is a no brainer. I will buy this, and probably pre-order it.

Wreckfest is a definite buy for me. This is done by the same people that did the Flatout series. And I just love Flatout. I can't wait for this title.

Rollercoaster Tycoon World is a game that I might buy if it has some good reviews. But after some of the more recent Rollercoaster Tycoon titles I am quite worried about this one.

Project CARS looks to be a great new racing sim by the same people who did NFS Shift. That worries me, but I think this game may be the game of the decade IMO. (BTW, pCARS stands for Community Assisted Racing Simulator)

My wallet is going to be hurting.

Other Games / SWBF 3 Old Version Video Footage
October 16, 2014, 02:01:43 PM
 So I found a video of the old version of SWBF3. Yes, the Free Radical one. While I cannot completely 100% guarantee that this is not a mod, nor do I know what system (but I assume it would be PC) It looks like it could have been a good game, but it doesn't look quite as good as SWBF1.

Thoughts?

So I was going to play so Battlefront a little bit ago and everything went fine until I joined a server (The open FC training server) and the game crashed right before the map started to load. I thought it was just a random happening until I tried it again. A crash. Tried it again on PLA server, it crashed at the same time. Then I tried SP. Same thing. Then I tried compatibility mode, and the same. thing. happened. So I downloaded another copy of the gamemaster exe. I tried to uninstall until it told me I had already installed it. Guess what! Now I can't even get to the menu!   :P  I have had issues like this before with other games (BF1942 for example) but compatibility mode fixed them, well at least for now. It doesn't seem to be the case with SWBF. I haven't done any changes to my PC or SWBF between my last SWBF game and when this happened.

My PC is a windows 8.1 64 bit.

Any help is appreciated. I don't know where to start and I am still uncomfortable with windows 8 and don't want to mess anything up without proper help.

Take a look at this. It's worth a read, and it is far from a long page.


Unfortunately it will not be a true SWBF in my eyes, but it sounds as if it won't be Battlefield. So as long as it isn't Battlefield I will be happy.

What do you say?

Tech Support / Faster internet
April 30, 2014, 03:19:22 PM
 I am really getting sick of the slow internet I have. I can get under 200 MS anytime to a NY server from where I live(WI). Best is around 160 MS and the worst can be 200 MS, this is around 6-7 PM. My ping doesn't stay the same, it is always moving around.

I live outside of town in a large cluster of houses. There are many houses, enough to deserve cable internet. Unfortunately cable is four miles away from where I am. It would be too expensive to do cables.

I have an ethernet connection from my router to my PC, but the ping just won't get below 150 at ANY reasonable time from WI to NY. Is there anything I can do to lower my ping?

I did a ping plotter test and I have no clue how to use it. It could be written in Greek and I wouldn't understand it less. Are more hops good or bad? Is there any way to add/subtract the umber of hops?

Money is no object, but it should still stay within reason. At this point I would be willing to pay 250$ a month for good cable internet. Well if I could come up with that kind of money, but if I had a way I would pay it. All I really need is 150 MS.

I can't switch ISP, the one I have is the best one in my area. And the other ones in my area, are "wake me up when the page loads" speed. Unless there is some company that provides 150 MS or lower internet everywhere and anywhere in the states, there are no other ISPs to choose from.

This is my ISP.

I hope I gave enough info, help is greatly appreciated. I posted a picture of the Ping Plotter below.

Thank you so much for reading, I am getting so desperate!

Other Games / Facebook's new toy.
March 25, 2014, 06:35:19 PM
 Facebook has recently purchased Oculus, yes, Facebook. Some of you have no clue what it is, but I would hope most of you do. I believe it is like a computer monitor that is put into glasses. I have sorta followed this new technology, because it looks really cool. Especially for sim racing games, but shooters will be great for it as well. What do you think about Facebook purchasing this?

I think that the owner of the company made a great decision in selling his company, but I don't believe it will be the best thing for the gaming community. I just don't feel like it will be handled as good when Facebook will always be the main focus.

Just thought I would update you on the gaming world!  :cheers:

-And, yes, I do realize that I rarely post now. (For all the people who would rather see me gone yet tollerate me you can do a little dance, for all the people who like me, wait no there are none.  :P)

General / Scary Stories?
January 30, 2014, 06:31:07 PM
 Anyone have a scary, creepy, story that they have experienced or that they know about? Doesn't matter if it is true or not, it just has to make you hair stand on end.

This actually happened to me on a spring day, while bringing the trash down my long driveway. So, I walked down my driveway, and my cat followed me. Which is normal. (I live in the country, FYI.) About midway down, a heard a horrid growl, sort of in between a growl and a scream. All of a sudden, EVERY DANG BIRD IN MY YARD WAS FLYING AWAY, trying to get the heck outta there. My cat, also running, my dog cowering. I looked over to where the noise was, and I looked into the woods, and say a 6 foot thing walking away. I got only a small look before my legs carried me away. Yes, without the garbage can. It was a bear, or dare I say it...             Bigfoot.
This wasn't my imagination, I saw a car going abnormally slow on my street, I mean, really slow. One does not imagine what I saw.


Another scary, true story, was the killing of Tim McLean. Because of it's disturbing story, look it up yourself. Some say he was controlled by the Windigo.

What are your scary stories?

Tech Support / Suicidal computer round 2
November 16, 2013, 07:33:57 PM
 My PC is freaking out again. All I know is I was starting up Google Chrome, and, well...       my PC just stopped working. Nothing was working. So i turned it off, waited a little bit, then turned it on again. I did that three times.
The fourth time I got some really weird message as it was turning on. Something about that I need to get the PC looked at by some tech guy. I just bought a PSP (Horrible timing) and I don't really have the money to pay someone to fix it. About a year ago the was some issue with my PC mouse turning on and off, and then it got to the point where it would disable the PC from working. I did get that figured out, it was some corrupt port attachment. About 2 years ago my computer started making horrid grinding sounds. And, as most of you know, the weird issue that started and stopped. (The reason why I "Left") It was actually a virus. Which did get removed.

HELP!!!!
Oh yeah, my PC is an XP, and it has some 200$ video card upgrade from like 2008. I cannot give any more detail right now because I don't know much more. And because it's late and I must get to bed.

I'll reply to comments tomorrow, early in the morning or in the afternoon.

Other Games / SWBFII, SWBFRS, SWBFES on PSP.
October 28, 2013, 06:52:12 PM
 Nobody really talks about the games. I'm sure SOME of you people have played at least ONE of them. Do any of the games still have MP function? Are any fun in Single Player? Do they have good replay value? Are they worth buying used? Are the campaigns any fun?

I just bought a PSP 3000 and wondered if I should get the Battlefront games. Thanks! :cheers:

 Imagine if you had to live in a video game world, like Mario's, Zelda's, Jack Rourke's, or Tony Hawk's! Which world would you prefer to live in? Why? Would you rather live in that world, or this? Is there any worlds you would HATE to live in?

After a while of thinking about this, I have come to the decision that NFS Carbon would be best for me. There's the racing, the car customizing, racing, vehicles would never be damaged, racing, driving around with your crew battling other crews, racing, destroying private property, and, of course, RACING!

I would not like to live in the world of, um...                  actually I would enjoy them all!


What world would you live in? GTA? COD? Battlefront? Farming Simulator? What would you choose?

This guy does some funny videos in for another game, maybe we could do something like (like it, but not a complete copy of his idea) this in SWBF:
#15
I have been thinking about this for over a year.

Not much of a question, but how come you can detonate your recon droid at hoth in SWBF when the shield generator isn't blown up? Shouldn't the game makers have designed it so you could only explode them AFTER the shield generator was disabled? You would have thought Pandemic and LucasArts would have thought about that...

I may need a SW nerd to answer this.

 So what next generation gaming system will you buy and why? Post what you voted and why.

I would buy a PS4 because I want to play SWBF"3", and because my friend is going to buy one.

Public Square / More SWBF2 please.
July 15, 2013, 05:22:20 PM
 Sadly, I do not believe this site will last much longer in the state it is in. We need a lot more active players and modders to join the site. I think the only way to do this would be to make the focus of this site 50/50 between the two games. I'm not saying we should delete some topics dedicated to SWBF, but make some new ones for SWBF2. I also believe we need to heavily advertise this site on SWBF2 servers and SWBF2 clan sites after we get done with the transformation. I believe tournaments would be a great way to advertise our site too. I know you guys (Including Led) are thinking "ugh", but believe me, I hate this idea too. But I believe it's the only way for the site to continue. Please consider this with an open mind. if you have any ideas, please post them!  :)

I found the Openspy site. I think we should tell them we use Openspy for battlefront, then maybe we can get some technical support on whats going on. http://openspy.net/ I'm not sure if I have found something important, or something unimportant, but I think I should make sure. If this is a stupid topic, please delete.


   EDIT:

I think the reason there have been no responses is because they might not know what SWBF is, maybe someone should post something using the words Star wars Battlefront.
