The next to the last level in Sniper Elite 3 is an airfield, and it's become my favorite level.  It's like a giant deathmatch map, where you can shoot people from the hills, run around the runways, slip in and out of hangers, and even run around the underground tunnels.  Oh yeah, and you can find rocket launchers Everywhere! 

I never get bored killing people on that map.

For those who know about such things, if a game's minimum specs state you need an Intel Core i3-4160 3.6 GHz but you have an AMD Phenom II x4 970 3.5GHz are you fine or are you shit out of luck?

I did some Goggle searching but couldn't find any results that were even close to what I was looking for.

You should be fine.  A tenth of a GHz isn't going to make a massive difference and both processors seem to be fairly equal in most respects.

Also, I've prolly said this before, but god damn does ChromatiCraft make you feel like a god.  Especially when v11 comes out and YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LITERALLY RAIN FIRE.  This is in addition to throwing lightning, shooting fireballs, and uprooting entire landmasses...and that's just the personal abilities.  Thaumcraft, Blood Magic, take a look.  This is how magic is fucking DONE.

So I recently stumbled on this news:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/20/africa/cameroon-video-game-fantasy-aurion/

It's nice to see people from other cultures represent themselves.  And the game itself looks promising.

More Minecraft shit nobody cares about!  I finally broke back into fission today, for the first time since the world reset, and I have done something completely, utterly insane.  I have setup a bank of 16 RotaryCraft extractors (which can give up to 16x, but averages 5x ore yield) all at one-tick operational speed, meaning they eat up 20 ores a second.  I'm having to push my other technology very hard to keep up with the titanic influx of ore flakes, as well as the absolutely ravenous hunger of my new ore processing plant.  I am pleased.  ALL HAIL THE POWER OF THE ATOM!

Been playing a bit of Uplink lately. Quite unforgiving, that game. One teensy mistake and it's back to the beginning for you.

I hate you! *goes cry in a corner*
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

It's also unoptimized as shit, if you're on a lower end rig you're gonna have a pretty bad time. Look on the bright side mate, by the time you eventually get it they might have patched it.

I've been playing Zelda: TriForce Heroes a lot lately.

PM me if you want to set up a play session and I'll try to work something out.

Sims 3 for the XBox 360.  First game I played where the game itself completed challenges and unlocked achievements.  Without any traits, nudges, etc., my sims taught themselves to write, cook, and repair things.  One even maxed out her cooking skill completely on her own. 

I wanted this game originally to torture sims, but now i'm just having fun seeing what they do when left to their own devices.
