Official nBSG Map

Ta-da!

It's an interesting set up. Reminds me a bit of Firefly's Versel with a bunch of star systems orbiting around one another.

Re: Insultingly stupid movie physics

Aye, but you wouldn't hear things like ships exploding, or rocketing past you.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever Gets A Release Date

Actually, if the trailer is anything to judge by then it actually looks like it might be pretty good. And with all that time to work out the bugs, I think I'll be remaining cautiously optimistic. Or, to quote the man himself: "What about the game, Duke? Was it any good?" "After twelve...

Re: Insultingly stupid movie physics

Sound in space is just one of those things you accept in a movie, like humanoid aliens who speak English. Though BSG did a pretty good job of showing battles in space without sound. nBSG did have sound in space. It was just muffled as though it was taking place underwater. Which I thought was a nic...

Re: S. Korea navy 'kills Somali pirates, saves crew'

It's not so much that as it is the fact that the next guy to take charge is likely to have spent litteraly his entire life being subjected to NK propaganda about how they're the greatest and most powerful nation in the world. KJI, for all his sabre-rattling, knows that that isn't true. If the next g...

Re: S. Korea navy 'kills Somali pirates, saves crew'

KJI won't go to war, because he's smart enough to see that, even though he'd cause a lot of casualties amongst South Korea, he'd still ultimately end up swinging from the gallows.

I'm more concerned about whoever comes after him.

Duke Nukem Forever Gets A Release Date

Yes, it seems that it's finally finished. After 12 years in development. May the 3rd is apparently when it's coming out. And regardless of whether it's awful or brilliant, I'll be getting it anyway. :wink:

Trailer here.

Re: Have I Just Been Hit By A Virus?

I've just been hit by the exact same fucking thing not five minutes ago. This time I was able to close it by clicking on the X when it popped up, but I also noticed that it threw up an icon down at the bottom of my screen. I was also able to open Task Manager without any problems, and promptly went ...

Nah, it just means we now know what the 13th colony was called. :wink:

Re: Have I Just Been Hit By A Virus?

For what it's worth, Malwarebytes completed the scan successfully and turned up one trojan.

Any way to tell if it's still lurking on my system?

Re: FTF XV - Signup Thread

I'm a bit more occupied than usual lately, so I'll have to let someone else take the reigns for this one. :)

I'll join in the game, thuogh.

Have I Just Been Hit By A Virus?

I was browsing the web this morning when something odd happened. A "security scan" window popped up all of a sudden and stated listing a bunch of viruses that were apparently on my computer. I initially thought that it was just a particularly annoying pop-up, but no ammount of hitting the ...

Personally I'm still trying to figure out whether going from a scorpion to a scales is a promotion or demotion. :|
