Beat Crysis 3 today.  Despite some of my remarks about the AI being stupid, the game overall was pretty well done.  The ending was also easily one of the best video game endings I've witnessed in quite a while.

ANy of you guys try this free game called Star Conflict? It's pretty tasty space fighter game.

Installed it yesterday and I'm still learning how it works.

It helps that it has many similarities to World of tanks so I'm not totally lost with the system. The graphics look nice even on my computer which is suprising.

Yeah, it's pretty well optimized. Rarely encounter noticeable lag at all. I mostly got into it quickly because it's a star fighter game that somehow uses a mouse to replicate a joystick in function. Since I'm fairly used to star fighter stuff, it was pretty to pick up. I'm MaterialDefender on there if you wanna fly a few missions together sometime.

The material needs a defender more than the spiritual. If there is a higher power, it can defend itself from the material. Thus denotes 'higher power'.

Is it wrong that when I play Hitman, and I'm playing the theater mission, whenever I 'accidentally' kill someone, whether by switching a prop gun with a real one, pushing them over railings or down stairs, or dropping things on their heads, I yell, "Macbeth!" each time?

been busy playing the Voltz add-on for minecraft.   I crashed minecraft a few times due to my love of the anti-matter bombs..   Lets just say minecraft can not handle 100 of them going off at the same time.  the world before it crashed was full of craters that reached right to the bedrock..

My wife watched.  Okay, MY mind went to the gutter with that one!

Also, my idea to complete that mission is to switch the script with The King in Yellow and run.  Everyone goes nuts and kills each other.  No witnesses.

I think my mind died a little there.  :)   :o

Although wouldn't switching the script just cause Haster to appear and kill everyone? Still has the same outcome, but slightly different way of getting there. And then Haster would be running around.

What's the SCP where the entire theater goes nuts and kills everyone who even witnesses the play?

About those Hitman comments:

You are hired to kill a target, silently and without raising suspicion. Bonus points if it looks like an accident or natural death.

Your ideal solution is, summon an elder God to devour the target, everyone around him and possibly entire Earth.

Sublety?

This reminds me of that Travolta movie where an assassin wants to make the death of one woman look like the work of a serial killer. Since there isn't a serial killer around at the time he starts a killing spree that goes on for days so that he can later kill this one target in a way that isn't suspicious...

I think an elder god showing up and causing everyone to go mad and kill each other would throw all suspicion away from 47 (the title character of Hitman). 

As for the King in Yellow.  I thought the madness only occurs either when someone reads the play or is exposed to its performance.

I love the new Mass Effect dlc.  More than once was I laughing out loud.

This is easily one of my favorite scenes.  Love the Star Wars reference.
