Well Amazon are the winners

Yay

Overload drops in 12 hours Be sure to grab your copy and support the team.

I most certainly will

Mosquitos waking me up and disrupting my sleep. How do I keep them at bay? Nothing seems to work, even shutting windows does nothing.

Um... killing them worked for me but you can try citronella. Something I picked up on when I was a kid and we had pet guinea pigs. They would always hide in the Rosemary bush when dusk arrived and it worked.

Ah yeah incense, the problem is my place has poor ventilation which means I'll be breathing that in all night. I'm prone to sinus problems (lots of icky... ick). I've been using vapor rub lately, that SEEMS to keep them away for a few hours..

Well it would seem scorching summer heat keeps them away too.

So cold here I don't see em! Freezing to f*cking death too

Impossible, it's summer time. No such thing as heimospheres.

I declare a sphere war! Mark my words the South will one day be recognised.

Army not found! They be too busy watching the next reality TV show.

/me graze

Hippo I been playing D3 co-op. It's like old times, but with better hardware. We did it what.. 10-15 years ago? Too bad Overload doesn't have co-op..

That was truly like forever ago. my internet was deplorable then

With the new Descent game around the corner, maybe we could play some co-op again like old times. I have no idea if the game will be any good (not looking promising) but it does support co-op

New?!

Yeah.. it's coming out this fall. It was originally the Descent Underground project, but they went dark for a year and teamed up with Little Orbit. They seem to be going with a reboot of Descent instead of a prequel

Although it probably won't be as good as OVERLOAD (have you played it?), it will have co-op, which OL does not

Ah, looks like it was pushed back to early 2019

Holiday season! Everyone be like, at home and playing games that are 20 years old which I exclusively play. Fantastic!

Played some Sherlock Holmes card game with family. Was fun Think I'll have a shot at some descent over the next week or two and crack out a joystick!

Cool! Which Descent?

I'm always up for a game of co-op

Happy New Year!

Don't know, but it might be delayed now. Started playing Starlink... game is crazy When I'm on it I'll let you know.

Trippy. Good New Year to All

If you want trippy try watching some Bjork

Currently reading The Long Night of Centauri Prime.. now if I can get my hands on the other two somehow.

I've only got 2 of the 3 I believe and haven't read them yet. I had trouble trying to get Book 3 I think. Had a similar problem way back with 'The Passing of the Techno-Mages' trilogy but eventually got a copy off the author but I never got around to finishing that series. Let me know if it's as good if not better than the Bester trilogy.

The author? How'd you swing that? Said author just has spare copies laying around?

Yeah. I reached out. I've still got the emails to the author.. lol. It cost me some pennies but the gesture was nice. Authors generally have spare copies of book(s) they publish... at least in my experience thats what I've found

That's nice. I've often wondered what the success rate would be for trawling various charity shops in the UK for B5 books (or any decent genre finds).

I'd have to say better than here in Oz where I'm at. I just trawl online. Ebay and the various book retailers whether it be new or used tend to have mostly anything.

The problem with the B5 books is the extortinate prices on the trilogy series. One of the books is always about $50 or something ridiculous.

Well I finished The Fallen (as per your recommendation). I'm sorry to say, but you probably have rose tinted glasses because so many things were broken - the game felt more like an unfinished BETA tbh. I'll describe in more detail when I post it next week!

Extortionate prices on hard to get books isn't going away anytime soon.

I played the game straight through and would have loved to have played it in full HD. Nothing was broken for me. I think it was on XP and maybe 7. I thought it was a polished game.

Oh there were definitely bugs. There was a game breaking bug in the Kira playthrough, which I'll show in the out-take. TBH I would have preferred a first person game. 3rd person is really hard to get right and few games pull it off IMO.

I'll check it out when I got some free time Was busy with moving recently and it was an epic fail! And so I didn't move I also upgraded my line from ADSL2+ (yes I'm living in the 90s and its not a good thing) to fibre to a POINT! Yay! I can now upload stuff 100x faster.

Great to hear! I hope we'll be seeing more of you Interested in hearing why moving failed.. lol

The colder weather is fast approaching so I will be online more. Lets just say that renting sux and leave it at that otherwise I'll have to vindicate myself later on.

The first insect of the year appeared in my bathroom. It's the one thing I love about the cold months.. no bugs!

Humidity My bathroom ceiling is covered in midges thanks to inadequate ventilation over the last season. More work. Yay

Kara lurking pretty hard there

I just purchased the remaining Legions of Fire books and SG Atlantis Legacy series. Hoping to finish everything this year!

I noticed that with Kara too

Do let me know how good Legions of Fire are. Might have to get stuck into it! I loved the Emperor Cartagia episodes. Hopefully his in the books.

Unlikely since Legions of Fire is set between late Season 5 and A Call to Arms! But there is plenty of Centauri madmen to go around.

Ooo, a B5 remaster is floating around usenet. Now just to figure out how to get it.. (Edit: Got it! It's a bit plastic looking but some great work nonetheless)
