I don't think so. Only admins can invite those to the group but i believe anyone can actually join the chat. Musk has been invited, I did that last night.

Ninjas are win in game dev story

also F1 2010 patch is awesome

1. Corrupt Save Games - We have identified an over-zealous anti-cheating check that manifested as falsely identified corrupt saves, specifically the ones relating to practice and R&D upgrades, the save-games should now load without issue. However if any of you are experiencing corrupt saves outside of this then please continue to send your PS3 save game files to us (Xbox360 & PC saves aren’t of any use to us) and we can test these against the latest patch to see whether all instances of this issue have now been fixed

2. AI not pitting in dry races where a mandatory pit stop was required (20% or more) – This has been fixed.

3. Player held in pit-stop too long – We’ve improved exit logic so that it isn’t too cautious in holding players during a pit-stop.

4. Puncture frequency reduced – The likelihood of players suffering punctures has been reduced.

5. Pit-stop lock-ups - Fixed several instances which caused the pit crew to lock-up and not be able to service the cars.

6. Automatically updating race strategy – Selecting prime tyres from the tyre menu (over default option) now updates the strategy so that the pit-crew assign options during the pit stop as opposed to re-attaching another set of primes (in a dry race of 20% or more).

7. First lap calculates correctly – The lap time for the first lap of the race now calculates correctly, from the lights going out as opposed to the cars crossing the start line.


In addition to these fixes we’ve also made improvements to the game based on your forum feedback:-


1. OSD changes – showing split times rather than gap to leader – We’ve changed how the OSD timing information functions so that split times are now displayed on the OSD, showing race time and race time differences to the other cars – I.e. how far ahead/behind are at a sector boundary.

2. AI affected more by damage received – Damage sustained by an AI’s car will have a greater effect their handling characteristics, effectively slowing damaged AI down more. AI cars that cannot maintain a racing speed will naturally yield to faster cars & come into the pits for repairs. As before, If they receive too much damage, they will retire from the race.

3. AI yielding to other cars when not on flying lap in qualifying - Improved AI behaviour to move off the racing line or out of the player’s way when the player is on a flying lap.

4. Increased wheel support – Increased wheel support and force feedback tweaks (where applicable) for the following wheels; Thrustmaster Ferrari F430 Force Feedback (officially supported), Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience (officially supported), Thrustmaster RGT Force Feedback Pro Clutch (not officially supported but will work), Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo S & GT3 RS2 (both officially supported).

5. Wet weather improvements - Rebalanced graphical and handling effect of cars driving on a wet track - the level of wetness has been increased as well as tyre trails being made more prominent.

6. Improved Damage Modelling – Tweaks to the damage system so that more damage is visible / received during lesser impacts.

7. Next lap invalidated time trial logic - In time trial the next lap is no longer invalidated for any offence committed in the 3rd sector. It is calculated per track and is predominantly based on the final corner.

8. AI: Driver Behaviours - Addressed some issues in driver behaviour balancing that were causing occasionally unrealistic finishing positions.



There have also been several PC specific improvements as well:-


1. PC 'replay saving' and playback – You will be able to save out the files to replay them later or share them with others.

2. DX11 – The F1 2010 patch will enable the game to run on DX11. All of the graphical improvements are configurable from graphical options when in DX11. Specifically, "ultra" settings for 'shadows' and 'postprocess'. (These options require a lot of processing power, and are only recommended for high-end graphics cards.

3. Eyefinity Support – F1 2010 now supports 3 x 1 or 3 x 2 monitor display setups (minimum requirement of 3 x monitors)

4. Optimisations – We have made better use of multi-core processors in general, which will lead to better framerates on higher end machines.

5. Additional Support - Support for SandyBridge processors, which also adds support for currently available 'modern' processors, like Core i7, which wasn't correctly detected previously.

So my (boxed) copy of Fallout NV is going to arrive tomorrow, but Steam says it doesn't unlock until Friday at Midday.

I have a bad feeling even though I own a box copy I won't be able to play until Friday. Does anyone know what usually happens with Steamworks games in this situation?

Super Meat Boy seems to be another throwback platformer I have little interest in. I watched some of the GB quicklook and it did nothing for me.

Maybe, I have been playing a lot of PC shooters lately along with Civ. Might be a reason to drag out my Wii and play some games on the couch for the first time in months.

Someone elsewhere explained vanquish as a mix of gears of war and bayonetta on some sort of drug at 60fps.

Wonder if Mars now interested.

I've been following this game and, really, Platinum Games have a free pass to my pants; whatever they make is going to be quality and polished to the utmost degree. However, Vanquish unfortunately falls in a weird spot for me:

1. I don't like the themes. Like Ice T, I don't like 'space games'.
2. DEAR GOD THERE ARE TOO MANY GAMES TO PLAY.

Yea i didn't think it was at 60. I think the demo thread had 30fps in the title, but i'm guessing it runs smooth.

I honestly have no games to play. So i'm not too sure where all the OMG GAMEZ is coming from. I might pick up shank and deathspank this month but that's about it. I haven't looked at any lists though and gone through it, so i'm sure i could be missing a few things.

When I was at Armageddon the Dick Smith booth had Medal of Honor running and everyone that came up to it muttered to their friend wondering if it was Black Ops...without fail.

Nobody cared once they were told it was MoH. This is also where I left my cousin to keep playing MoH because there was so little interest that there was no need for the people running it to get him off the machine.

In fact the conversation people had around it involved MAG and then the lack of HD cables with HD systems.

I guess. I haven't paid much attention to it all. Too much TF2 and doing random shit.

NFS is about the only title i'm really interested in. IF it does arcade racing correctly.

Mana Bar isn't opening until mid december. So drunk punching in the face could be a while away.

You coming down for a visit or moving here to EA offices?
