Section 8: Prejudice Platforms: PC, XBLA Price: $15.00 Section 8: Prejudice is a futuristic FPS I've been playing on PC this past week. It's pretty fun, and a nice change of pace from TF2. The gaming sites have been pretty kind to it reviews-wise, and it's got a couple of interesting features: You respawn by dropping in from orbit; this means you can basically respawn anywhere on the map that isn't protect by anti-air turrets. You can sprint around in 3rd person mode. You get a jetpack. You get lots of customizable loadouts and can earn weapon upgrades. You can purchase and deploy things like turrets, vehicles, and other support hardware on the fly. The main draw though is that as you're playing a standard capture-the-control-point game, the game will generate mini-missions for your team to accomplish to get points; things like protect/escort the convoy, hunt down the enemy VIP, deliver the airstrike beacon, etc. The dynamic missions really keep the gameplay fresh and gets people moving around all over the map (rarely see any turtling). Fair warning: the PC version uses GFWL, but despite that, it features dedicated server support for both PC and XBLA versions, which is pretty great. The game even features a fairly substantial single-player campaign to teach you the entire system. Best part is that it's pretty cheap; $15 bucks on Steam. If you're looking for a fresh MP experience, try this out. It's a pretty good package for the price.

I expected the by about Dany. She was 13 in the book; that kind of thing would never fly, even on HBO.

Hrm. I haven't watched any of it yet, but Dany and Jon are my favorite characters. Hope they don't get the short end here.

Actually I did notice right away when my backstab animations were screwed up. I know it doesn't change the functionality of the knife, but it affects game animations and it's annoying. It's silly to have them off, they're a part of the game.

Hey, can we turn crits back on? Nocrits messes up backstab animations.

No more contestants, unless we can get 32 more people to sign up by tomorrow. Make it happen.

I don't think he was being condescending by saying "not sure." Maybe he was just agreeing with you that it doesn't make sense for people to make the comparison?

Let's get some more people guys, come on.

I'm not doing any seeding.

We've got a requests forum and a workshop forum. I don't think we need a thread for "I'm thinking about remixing this song."

Yes Will, I can put you in the second bracket.

Remember your remixes will each be using TWO source tunes: yours, and your opponent's.

Sure. We have 24 people now. If anyone else wants to sign up, you have to make sure you get other people to sign up with you, because we'll need 32 people. EDIT: 26 now. need 6 more people

I have a plan for that. Don't worry about it for now. As for Fake Man, please pick another first choice. I'd like to stick with the traditional Robot Masters. Also, Proto Man is not a Robot Master. Come on guys. :\

I think he's just saying that WillRock is just really really good. Don't read too much into it.

I was so disappointed that Devastus was knocked out in the first round of GMRB, his song was awesome.

With 16 contestants, about two months.

Dark Horse Comics launched their digital comics store today. https://digital.darkhorse.com/ Dark Horse is known for publishing a lot of scifi/fantasy comics, like Hellboy, Umbrella Academy, Star Wars, Conan, Buffy, Firefly/Serenity, etc. Of particular interest is their series of Mass Effect comics. They've published two Mass Effect mini-series written by writers involved with the games, so if you're a fan of that series, you should check them out. They're pretty good, and actually tie into the games pretty well. They have a lot of free issues available too.

There's a thread for this kind of stuff already. Merged.

That's 14. Need more!

Stay on topic folks. This is not a Castlevania thread.

I'm serious. If you're running the server, make sure your mods are not banning people vindictively. Not trying to be a hard-ass about this. Just need assurances that it'll get fixed.

Knock it off and fix how you run the OCR server, or don't call it the OCR server anymore. Get back on topic. The topic being Minecraft.

To be honest, with everything else I have to do (on top of organizing this competition), I just don't have the time to devote to writing earnestly competitive remixes twice a month.
