I got 6 hours played and it was all solo. Finding games if you're low level is impossible it seems.

Hmmm I guess I should have expected as much, but it gets a good number of players regularly?
I can't commit to something like DOTA2 but I loved the MNC spin on the formula and this looks like it scratches that itch.

Why MB isn't the standard is beyond me.

How far from the end am I in XCOM EU when I do the mission where you
?
get into the underground alien base after manufacturing its key
both Steam and this Archage laucher actually its a Trion worlds launcher it seems, called Glyph) are MB
Archage is going at 10.6, max I usually get on steam is 9.something, usually high 8s
What's your max speed?
I remember when people were excited about how Origin was downloading at much higher than Steam, which was already maxing out their connection, because Origin was lying.
You are around halfway if I remember correctly. A bit earlier probably, as you can delay it as much as you want.
its 100Mb connection so 10MB should be the max right?
and Archage speed seems real since it was 10gigs and its done... maybe I should stream it, I know very very little about it except its a sandbox mmo, whatever that means (ive played pretty much every mmo and i still dont know the difference between sandbox mmo and theme park mmos)
edit: new bundlestars is pretty cheap and pretty terrible. it has culling of the cows tho
You still have a fair bit to go, but you can take your time as well.
As long as you don't screw around and not take care of countries lol.

Divide by 8. But then there's a bit of overhead so you never get 100%.

3k is average, I think.
Sandbox is where the user controls the content. Think the economy, wars, and regional control in EVE, or Star Wars Galaxies.
Theme park is where the developers create the content the user experiences. Think raids and content in wow.
I believe acrheage is a mix of the two to an extent.

Never launch satalites when they are ready, always keep one waiting in the wings in case you need to reduce the alert level of a country.

Man, I've been slacking on Dark Souls 2 3rd DLC but goddammit it's brilliant. Sense of adventure is outmatched there.
in unrelated news, goddamn it bothers me irrationally much that people are complaining about download sizes while wanting everything to be bigger, better and so on. Compression can do only so much.

Went to download Bioshock Infinite. 42GB. looks like I won't be playing it on this day off. I really need better internet.
Disable the dlc. The download size will be much smaller

The 30% off voucher for Civ: Beyond Earth which GMG just mailed me has got to make it the cheapest option, right?

17GB now, thanks. Still a lot, though. I think I am just going to d/l binary domain today instead. 4.9GB is much more doable and I can start downloading B:I while I'm playing that.

i wouldnt do that
binary domain is way better and afterwards youll just wish you were playing it again instead of bioshock
and this is coming from someone who really liked infinite
I'll also vouch for this. Infinite wasn't particularly memorable besides the ending. Binary Domain was a fun, incredibly fast-paced ride for the entire game.

The good thing about the voucher is that it's valid till the 31st of the month. So we can wait for reviews/user impressions after it's release on the 24th and then decide whether or not to get it.
I think I'm gonna end up posting more givaways than regular posts...

I was looking through my surprisingly large OnLive library (please don't judge, I was young and had no PC) and came across this hot rare title that I own, jelly JaseC??? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I upgraded my connection and my average steam download speed is above 3mb/s. Feels good.

I've already played through about 4 hours of Binary Domain on my last computer about a year ago. I gave up because the boss battles were all but broken on my ATi video card. I think my tastes are just different because I wasn't really loving Binary Domain. The reason I enjoy the bioshock games is the lore and the environments. I'm just finishing up Bioshock 2 and I would already say I like that game more than what I played of Binary Domain. But, I'm giving it another shot.

Oh you'll love infinite then. Just wandering around looking at environments was great. Stunning direction.

I actually bought the 100 dollar onlive system.
Dumbest gaming related idea I ever had.
