This sounds pretty promising and considering this is actually backed by decent funding, it just might happen. Something to finally refresh the MMO scene? and isn't fucking korean
The new ultra-hype of the fighting game community. Everywhere I look people are losing their minds in excitement over this. Myself included, especially since Dragon Ball was a huge thing in my youth. And not without reason as well, since the developer is ArcSys, who made the amazing Guilty Gear (though not that popular due to having an unknown anime theme).
Can't get over how amazing the animations and art looks. Why watch anime when you can play it?
So finally a Western multiplayer game coming to PC. At first they wanted to do a kickstarter but their initial investors saw how much positive feedback and interest there was in this once they announced it and decided to fully fund them. This means there'll be no classic kickstarter/early access bullshit, but rather (hopefully) a released full product.
Lands of Lords is a medieval browser game that resembles a mix of Anno and Crusader Kings. Since it's a browser game it's a bit slow paced, at least at start - but later on the game really picks up. The game has an incredible amount of depth: - it has an immense amount of resources and craftable items (just as an example, you have more than 30 types of wood each with their own properties and uses https://www.landsoflords.com/help/res/wood) - you control so called units of 10 people, each with their own stats, skills, happiness, consumption and equipment such as tools/weapons, that you can train into different professions (there is a lot of professions, these are just the crafting professions: https://www.landsoflords.com/help/unit/craft) - almost every profession is supported by its own building type as well, in addition to being able to build huts and houses, streets, temples and a bunch of other buildings - crafting has a quality component to it, so it matters what quality resources you use if you want to reach the best quality end product (which provides more bonuses) - a nobility system with a hierarchy (Empires, Kingdoms, Duchies, Counties, Viscounties, Baronies, and more) - a combat/military system including different types of military units and buildings such as keeps, castles, walls, ... - a player market which the AI units also use to buy goods to satisfy their needs
The good thing I would mention here is that while you can pay subscription to the game, free players are not at a disadvantage, it's a very fair business model.

Anyone else enjoys playing business/economy/trading management games? So basically little to no focus on combat, but rather just making your business prosperous.
The Guild 2 has to be one of my favourite games of all times, basically running a medieval family business that can later dive into politics as well. Lots of great features. I recently also discovered Capitalism Lab (standalone expansion of Capitalism 2) - I basically just started playing it so I'm still learning the ropes, but I feel like the game has a lot of depth. Plus, 2D isometric graphics yay!
If any of you know any other cool games like this (I know of Anno series), feel free to mention them.
The legendary fighting franchise returns with STREET FIGHTER® V! Stunning visuals depict the next generation of World Warriors in unprecedented detail, while exciting and accessible battle mechanics deliver endless fighting fun that both beginners and veterans can enjoy.
Release date: Tomorrow! (16.02.2016)
Biggest changes from previous version: - New characters - No chip deaths - Backdash invincibility - Variable gauge - Shared online with PS4 - Easier links
No chip deaths prevents those frustrating moments when the enemy could just chip you to death. There is no more backdash invincibility either. Variable gauge provides extra depth because it changes characters attacks. Shared online with PS4 will help keep the game's online mode populated.
The biggest change, especially for new players, is easier links though. They basically removed all the one-frame links that you had to pull off if you wanted to combo successfuly. Combos are now easier to perform, basically. Previously you had to spend hours upon hours in training mode to drill into your head / muscle memorize because the timing you had to have to perform a 1-frame link was pretty absurd. In SFV it's easier to do that though, do to 1-frame links being 3-frame links. This makes Street Fighter V for new players much less frustrating to pick up and shifts the focus of combat from perfect combo execution to other parts of the combat, like spacing, zoning, reacting to opponent.
Anyone else getting it?
PS: If you are, don't buy on Steam. You can get it at almost 50% of the price at resellers. Cdkeys has it for 28.90€
Why this thread? Well there's no muslims in space!
In all seriousness though:
SpaceX just managed to land a first stage rocket back to earth:
Quote
For anyone wondering what the real significance of this historic event is:
Rockets cost about 50-100 Million dollars Propellant costs about 200,000 - 1 Million dollars
It currently costs about 2,500 dollar per pound of payload into LEO (Lower Earth Orbit) and SpaceX is the cheapest on the block
If you can reuse the rockets, this price can probably be brought down to one tenth of that (250 dollar per pound) which makes access to space tremendously cheap
As another topic, astrophotography is like porn to me.

Once you hear how much effort goes into making one of these pictures, you really start to appreciate it. I even considered getting a reflecting telescope myself (those are the wider ones meant for more deep space observation), but since reflecting telescopes depend much more on light than refracting, and I live in the capital city which is polluted with light... rip dream
