Super-Duper Sombrero

So we pretty much just founded a dwarven Australia? I approve. No animals on embark, eh? Very unusual, but certainly not impossible. Looking forward to the writeup!!

Water depth is just a display option if I remember right. Are we going to start on the new version, or the current one? I see you already generated a map, but I'm not sure if it'll carry over to the next release if that's what you're planning. Also it might be worth just uploading the entire folder somewhere, to prevent any discrepancies between player files. A suggestion for player order would be to have an experienced player start for year one, then alternate between less experienced and more experienced players. This would probably give us more room for mistakes without the fort falling apart entirely, and gives us a pretty decent timeline. Year 1 is like setup and general self-sufficiency, year 2 is mostly crafts and exploration, year 3 might be a military setup and expansion, year 4 could be a bit more exploration and expansion, and year 5 might get magma. There's no hard rules or guidelines for that kind of thing, so it's really anyone's guess, but keeping newer players separated can prevent a progression drought.

When we did ours, we passed the save file along, then did a writeup. And then it died. one of the problems we faced was that players just didn't play when it came to their turn. I recommend putting up some kind of flexible time limit, so if someone disappears or doesn't have time, they get skipped.

I haven't actually played since that writeup I did, the next guy in line died or something and never finished his turn.

I had wondered why there was no thread on this. I'd be down for a succession game if there are enough people. I've done a few before, and actually we had a blog setup for it here. I drew like some comics and stuff for it, too, if anyone wants to check it out.

Those are some pretty brutal nerfs...

A welcome, if a bit late, change to the Brazer Brigand.

Think I'll take your advice and go with the Omen 6. Reviews on the website and on other guitar websites seem to indicate that it's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for all the help!

Doing a cursory search from musician's friend netted me two results: Schecter Guitar Research Omen Solo-6 Electric Guitar and Schecter Guitar Research Omen 6 Electric Guitar Both are $299 from Musician's Friend. Is that a good place to buy from? Or should I actually go to a physical store (gasp!) and talk to... persons? Thanks for the help so far!

Do you mean for budget? I'm looking to spend up to around $200, but I'd be willing to push a little higher if it's really worth it. The one I linked is about $120, which a rather attractive price range.

I've been looking at picking up an electric guitar recently, but I know very little about what to actually look for. Hopefully someone with a bit more experience will be able to help me out! I should start by saying that I have very little experience, with no formal training at all. I've been using a Fender Squier Stratocaster. I had purchased it for the rock band usage, but I ended up just plucking around with it more than with the game. Looking at taking lessons, but I'd really like to have an instrument of a bit higher quality (i.e. that can actually stay in tune and isn't a MIDI controller). I've been looking at a Squier Bullet Strat. It seems like a good introductory level instrument, and about the right budget range I'm looking for. I've heard good things about Musician's Friend, but I've never purchased anything from there myself. Any thoughts on this? I'm really just looking for something to learn on; not exactly aiming for a professional level instrument here, but a guitar that can last is important.

Well as long as I wasn't the only one posting. Here's some of my recent stuff. Notice a theme yet? Big Macintosh themed Corvette Z06 Applejack themed Hummer

Good lorg. Amazing song. Great find, thanks for sharing!

Oh man, another four? Best ten dollars I've ever spent!

Sweet deal! Paid the $10 for all 17, but I haven't listened to them yet. I already had a few of them (both of the BGC albums and the Return All Robots OST), but still an amazing price for these soundtracks.

Ugh, I don't really want to buy Assassin's Creed, but I really want that knife. Oh wait, every other promotional item is craftable too, right? I can't think of any that aren't...

Bought it after previewing a few tracks. Definitely more of a movie-soundtrack kinda feel to it, really liking this one! Also, any objection to these appearing on some sort of poorly made youtube video at some point (properly credited, of course)? Not really sure about copyright law or whatnot, but it feels better to have permission.

The bastards keep running away from me. They fly around way beyond my bow's range, then when they finally get close enough, they just ignore more of my hits. I finally got one to land, got it down to half health, then it took off, flew straight up, and despawned. I've only gotten two dragons down so far. It's really really annoying.

Now with 20% more post-production.

That's likely to be Gamemaster's (I think) server. Seems to be the go-to place for when OCR is empty.

Quick question: is it just me, or is there no button to pick up and manipulate physical objects like in Oblivion and that one video with the kettles? Am I blind, here? Or did they take it out for one reason or another?

Oh, I suppose I should add it to my user info. Gamertag is SuperDSombrero. EDIT: Woah, those are some detailed vinyls. Funny thing, they appear simple at first, until you think about how one would make them in the editor. Very nice.

Thread resurrection part deeeuuuuux. Now with a video! And a free vinyl group.

Haha, yeah. That particular area has very realistic looking lighting, but alas. I would totally drive that car though.
