  1. The amount of change in the past 110 years has been momentous. Nearly every working family has a car, a TV, a computer with internet. Back then you still had to take baths with a bucket of water reused until everyone was clean. To imagine what he has seen in such a long lifetime... Truly amazing and slightly sad. I was just thinking about the last American WWI veteran who died in February today.

    There's now no one alive to have witnessed that period of time and everything we have is now history.

  2. I've had several. My most notable one was us attacking 2142 (Although the sim was completely different). I was following someone into their command room when presumably Lordbob stepped into the room and gunned down the person in front of me (keep in mind, every single dream I have always takes place in the 3rd person. Think of Fallout 3 over the shoulder sort of thing as well as nothing seems real, but malleable and slightly transparent). All I have is a pistol and one after another I'm gunning down 2142 while wooping over coms until Aryte comes in the room and we secure the victory.

    Other ones involve running around Titan doing epic shit which I can't remember. The egotistical side of it all is in every dream I end up receiving a merit of some kind or a promotion before I wake up. It's been a long time since I've had an Ordo dream.

    The last dream I had about a video game was Minecraft, and I can't really remember it. The freakiest dream I've ever had was waking up for work like normal, wondering why the hell there's "Save energy" stickers on my table and why the water was cold for my shower as well as being extremely difficult to hold any sort of conversation with someone.

    Several days went by before I really focused on those things and realized they never happened. I nearly shit bricks.

  3. Hurp. Trying to figure out how to play the game.

    edit: bastards and their between the lines "u need game wif surce code"

    Won't be able to play it under my main steam account since I have HL2:DM on a different account which I hope I can remember the password to it.

    I'm stupid. Ignore me.

    I think I have everyone on my friends list, but if not, I can be found in the Ordo steam group and my account name is ManticoreRace

  4. Tyi and Genide are both exactly equal in everything. Every ship has the same parts, ect. The only difference is your tactical skills and the looks. Tyi look badass, so guess who I chose lol.

    My name is Reincarnated. I had Desereck, but I effed up originally and couldn't even finish the very first mission after the prologue.

    I joined a clan just to start out. Currently lvl 14 until the other guys in the guild stopped playing. Without other people to interact with, the game gets boring pretty fast so I'm twiddling my thumbs right now because I don't feel like doing endless amounts of solo missions to level up.

    My only complaint is the concentration system. You lose a point every time you jump/dock/undock/log in/log out. Starting at 160 (really only 159 because you lose one after logging in) it slowly degrades until you get 70xp every mission instead of 500xp.

    That's a fact, I tested it.

    They punish you for playing longer instead of rewarding you. It creates a giant gap between those who play every day and those who don't... meaning: those who got their keys on the first day are lvl30 and gain a level everyday while those who joined a week later are lvl20 and gain a level everyday and there's no possibility of catching up.

    The game has great potential, and it's already mind-blowing.. just not alone.

  5. I had high hopes when it was in beta with trailers and development gameplay.

    I played it for about an hour until I got high enough level to do PvP. I laughed every single time I saw it go on sale on steam until finally it's F2P. They milked every last drop they could out of this game, and frankly, it shows. I thought it was horrible....everything.

    My fun lasted until the end of the tutorial. Not worth the time imo.

  6. Reminds me of Rachel's Challenge that's circulating around the cities of Colorado right now. Rachel was the first victim of the Columbine High School shooting, and often wrote about compassion towards one another. The challenge, even though it's mainly a school thing but can be applied to every person, is to act compassionate to someone else. To, in her words, "start a chain reaction" where one act of kindness inspires another.

    I've noticed when I greet a fellow enlisted who just graduated from Schola, (even though it may be a placebo) that they are generally more cheerful in going about their duties. Drama can never be eliminated, but it must be mitigated so that everyone has fun in their time while at Ordo.

    Being kind to one another is one way to do this. They're here for the same thing you are. For fun. You never know, someone may do something kind for you and start one of these "chain reactions".

  7. I played it on my DXM trip the other night and recorded myself playing it. My face was this pure picture of horror but I was laughing the entire time. Then again I never faced a monster and only got to the winecellar door when the chick screams for help. I quit and went outside after that.
