Does anybody want to buy a broken PAL PS3 with a 1 TB hard drive that can play ps1 and 2 discs with about 20 games? O_O

Uh...
What's broken about it?

[Bezombia]

Well, my already kinda crappy hand-me-down laptop from my grandma (Who, like almost all older people, don't seem to know how to not make their PC's full of crap) seems to be completely useless now. Keyboard went totally crazy on me (Typing 4 when I type T, and 7 when I type Y, plus the Tab key was hitting one and Backspace kept acting like it was doing what it is supposed to when you're NOT in chat)

Thankfully my grandma has a spare lying around (Again, she uses laptops harshly so she needs new ones quickly, apparently, though this one seems fine to me), so I'm not completely dead from computer usage for another week...

(If I'm reminded what thread is best for this post, I'll move it there)

Damned if I know. The red light flashes, and when I turn it on, it kinda cuts out after a random period of time

That glorious, wonderful moment when you find a binary Earth-like/terraforming candidate pair orbiting a neutron star.

Looks more like a fetus, to me.

Nice, where is that?

Looks like Barnard's Loop.

Hmm, the Fez soundtrack is pretty neat.

Holy crap, the CEO of Nintendo died.

It doesn't do a whole lot, but the Thomas Was Alone soundtrack is a decent little soundtrack.

You know, thinking about it right now, none of us are talking about Black Ops 3.

I mean, I guess after the lemon that was AW (and most in the series before it) nobody is particularly excited.

But if maps are made in which using the wall slide feature showcased in the multiplayer reveal, then I think this might (might) be a CoD worth picking up.

Goddamn literally all that needs to happen is dedicated servers and there will be an eruption of PC purchases.

I wonder how much money Activision was being paid to not allow development studios to add dedicated servers.

Satoru Iwata died.
A quote from this man: "Video games are meant to be just one thing. Fun. Fun for everyone"

Yes they are, Iwata. Yes they are.

Rest in peace, Iwata. You were a big part of my childhood, and also to many others around the world.

He was awesome.

Yep. Quite close to human space, too.

Also, Wisc, your mention of a terraformable around a neutron star reminds me of a system. HIP 63835. You will not regret visiting that place, I promise you.

RIP Iwata.

I've already heard about that system, TYVM, and it's on my bucket list. At the very end of it, in fact.

I do love the Witcher 2 so much. My future dorm mate is wanting to get 3 on the PS4 so I've set out to try and finish two before hand and already I've had more fun than most other RPGs with the side quests alone. I've done almost nothing with the main. In what other game do you help a depressed troll get over the death of his wife and alcoholism, or get drunk and ride whores like horses?

What's the best ship for exploring?

I currently still in the sidewinder doing a bit of bounty hunting here and there and I recently bought a hauler to do some trading, but the real money seems to be in exploring.

I've heard glowing reviews for the Asp. I was planning on getting one, but between buying the ship and outfitting it it was beyond my price range. I ended up rekitting my Cobra, and it's served me well so far. Here's the loadout I'm using. Once I get back to inhabited space I'll probably dump one each of the AFMUs and heat sinks, if I either won't or can't upgrade to a Diamondback Explorer or an Asp. If you want, though, you can kit a Sidewinder for some tolerable exploration, like so.

A few basics you can remember to outfit anything for exploring:

• You absolutely always need a fuel scoop.
• It's possible to get things done with lesser scanners, but if you want to make any decent money in any decent time you'll need an advanced discovery scanner and a detailed surface scanner.
• Class D components are always the lightest. Use those for anything that's necessary but doesn't contribute to exploration, like thrusters, sensors and power distributors.
• An A class power plant isn't strictly necessary, but you should use the best one you can afford. They have better heat dissipation, making you less likely to explode, and A class components are light.
• Same goes for your frame-shift drive. A class isn't necessary, but they're lighter and increase your jump range.

As far as I'm aware, the best exploration ship is the Asp. Provides the largest potential jump range at a reasonable price. Only the Anaconda does better.

Great tips, all of them. Cool site, here's my loadout. Pirates be warned, I'm no pushover.

[The Matthew Islands]

Nice, thanks guys. I'll probably keep bounty hunting and small time trading till I can afford more ships. I'm quite keen to get going since Exploration seems to have the most money.

How do you guys explore? Just jump to random systems?

[Torisakia]

Iwata died?

Well, at least we still have a Muppet version of him.
