General Chat / Steam-ing pile
« on: January 27, 2013, 03:44:56 pm »
Bought a bunch of new games to try. Tried installing Rage last night. turns out it's a Steam title. With DVD 2 in the drive I went out to walk the dog. I get home and DVD 3 and god only knows what else has been downloaded from Steam using 1/3rd of our monthly cap. It was still downloading (I don't know what) so I killed the installer.

So today I start installing another game, 1 DVD, what could possibly happen? And then...

Elite Dangerous / Elite - Dangerous

Anyone who remembers the classic game Elite from the old skool 8 bit computing days might like to know that Kickstarter have a development page up for a remake of the game...

For the uninitiated, at Kickstarter you pledge money but don't pay unless the project is completed (EDIT: you pay on Friday Jan 4 2012 if the target sum for the project is reached). In this case a £20 pledge not only goes to the development fund, but entitles you to a full version download on completion of the game. So there's nothing to lose.

For those who don't know about the game, it'll be something like a mix of Privateer and Eve Online, but with a very heavy emphasis on combat and infinite re-playability (unlike those other games).
All support appreciated.
