I just finished Knights of The Old Republic (2003) which despite its age was an overall very good experience! There are a handful of very annoying design choices and bugs which spoils a lot of the fun with the game and this is quite sad to see as all of these annoyances appear as very simple to fix. Playthrough time could have been a lot faster if I had not spent all that time clicking around in a horrid interface. Still, despite some issues, the story, characters and world is amazing to explore! It is by far some of the best dialogue I have encountered in a game. Now I just really wish I had played this one before I played Mass Effect as KOTOR really feels like a precursor to that game.

Beatbuddy can be grabbed for for just 3,49€ and while not being an amazing game it is a new kind of music adventure which is worth playing and a fine adventure game on its own. Oh, and Warby and I worked on it

A little late here with replying but I just want to say a big thank you to guys for supporting us! It is sad that we were not able to push it all the way to the funding goal but I really appreciate all the help we've gotten from Mapcore. You guys rock!

Sorry to be spamming a bit here, but I would like to share this story of true Mapcore love with you guys

A week left to back the project! We really appreciate those of you who have backed us already!
In case you for some reason do not want to back the project we would really appreciate if you spend 2 minutes answering two questions:
-
I saw it the other day (in the cinema in 3d) and it is definitely a movie I don't regret seeing! Children of Men was not really my type of film but Gravity is quite different a lot better. A downside was that the 3d made me somewhat nauseous though as it made all that spinning around just a tad too realistic. Otherwise the 3d effects worked well.

We would love to return to the PC version but atm the budget for finishing that one is around $250k so it is quite a heavy investment of resources that we currently do not have available. We sent it into hibernation last year after running out of funds and while I since then have done various attempts at finding a solution then this has not been possible. So currently our best bet for more PoNH is a smaller scoped mobile edition of the game.

Thanks guys! We had planned on launching with a 30 day campaign length but ended up with settling on a campaign with a length of 22 days. Kickstarter recommends 30 days or less to encourage a sense of urgency, so we figured that a little over 3 weeks would be good and also it would make sense to end on the 1st of December. Additionally there were some team considerations behind, some of the team members have committed themselves full time (despite the lack of pay) during the past months but there was a limit to how long we could keep on running like that.

Hi guys, we just launched a Kickstarter campaign for Pirates of New Horizons! That means that we need your help to make this possible. We want to make the BEST pirate space adventure for mobile devices and your pledges are needed for this.
For those not familiar with the game, Pirates of New Horizons is a 3D Action Platformer about looting, pillaging, and a flying cat. It allows you to explore an epic adventure tailored for a snack-sized mobile game experience on your iOS or Android device.
Please spread the word to all of your friends, family, and any news outlets that might be interested. Also please let us know if you have any feedback.
For more background information we have a website and an old Mapcore thread.

Way to go Mapcore mappers!

It should be noted that there might be other versions of this story. The Danish games industry is a tight community but nobody seem to know this Frederick guy and his team also seems to be entirely composed of inexperienced developers. While there is nothing wrong with that, it does raise a flag in terms of credibility when he comes out with very big words.

Lately I have mostly been playing KOTOR (yeah the 2003 one) and I am overall really enjoying it. There is a lot of bad design choices, in particular in terms of UI, but considering it is 10 years old it is quite respectable still. Mostly I regret that I played Mass Effect before this one, as it feels like an earlier edition of Mass Effect in so many ways. So anyone who somehow haven't played ME yet, do yourself a favor and play KOTOR first!

For any beginners starting with strength training I can recommend this program:

If you are looking for allround fitness, martial arts is an excellent choice. I can recommend Goju-Ryu:

I would suggest you check out Unity: http://unity3d.com/. It supports both JavaScript/Unityscript and C#.

I just watched the trailers and this game looks to be full of awesomeness and fun!

Thanks everyone for the assistance, really appreciate it! Not a perfect solution, but I have now bought a 5.1 sound card as that seems to be the only way to get true surround in the sub $20 range.

Quote from Thrik
Zacker, interesting thought. I assumed that going mid-range with CPU would be a good plan for gaming, but if games aren't really making use of that extra power I'll see how much cheaper I can go without losing significant performance.
This might be an interesting read: http://www.overclock.net/t/943540/i3-vs…ormance-updated

In terms of gaming you would get almost the same performance from a much cheaper dual core i3. Spending the money you save there on going for an SSD would give you a lot more value imo.

Quote from cyberjunkie
Use the 3.5mm jack from the laptop and connect it to the speakers. Mute the TV speakers.
Thanks, but as HP also points out, my laptop does not provide 5.1 output.
Quote' timestamp='1363802151' post='326920']What you really need, is a receiver. I thought these things were a waste of money before, but what they provide more than justifies the investmenent. They allow you to connect various game consoles, PC, Bluray player, etc, etc to the same hub, and it decodes surround sound, so if you connect your PC to a receiver via HDMI (like I'm doing) the receiver will decompile the the audio signal, leaving the PC alone, that is such a nice plus specially for games.
Thanks for the receiver suggestion also, I am however on on a budget so I prefer if I could get around having to invest in something that appears to cost more than the speaker set itself. Hopefully there is a way around?

I have a Philips 42PFL3007T TV which I want to connect to my Logitech Z506 surround speaker set. The TV has a digital audio out (coaxial) and HDMI ARC, the speakers however only takes 3.5mm analogue inputs. So do you guys have any recommendations on the best way to convert between those signals? The TV input source is HDMI from a laptop.
