6 .1v1 situations music/audio?

Just about done.

[zXe]

1v1 situations music/audio?

[Kezzer]

worked out how to get sounds to be played but will need to upload them to the GR server, as for 1v1 situations I think it will need some sort of event handler to detect the 1v1.

like wise - will need that for the TK Olympics

I think Winckle actually wrote a mod for this, maybe PM him?

Yeah there are a few I think I will need his guidance on

Literally thinking of buying a gaming PC for a game that is typically the type of game I hate. A streamer I frequently watch on YT started playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and it's so tense just watching. I tend to gravitate towards single player, story driven, turn based and not in the slightest shooters. The island setting and restricting zones reminds me a lot of Battle Royale.

I've been thinking about investing in a gaming PC for a while, did not have a great experience last time, I'll do a bit more research this time and hopefully have a better experience. The final chapter of Trails In The Sky being PC only is a major factor too.

Don't get one for a single game; get one for objectively better performance, a wider library and much cheaper games. Battlegrounds is hot gooseberry fool right now, but so was The Culling, DayZ and H1Z1 however people aren't paid to promote them anymore so nobody cares about them now.

Cheaper games was the big thing for me. I hadn't really considered the PC as a viable gaming platform but then one day I decided to upgrade my GPU and ventured onto Steam (and other sites) to find older current gen games for just a few pound. Plugging your PC into a TV and using a PS4 or XBO controller (both supported through Steam) gives you exactly the same gaming experience as consoles. My one complaint on Steam is the achievements, I'd prefer the achievements to count towards your level like PSN does where as on Steam your level is unrelated.

Why? Your steam "level" is a meaningless behavioural conditioning trap to get you to spend more money on "trading cards" and other gooseberry fool. If I'm ever feeling sad or annoyed I look at the profiles of people who buy them - some with hundreds if not thousands of badges - and I am comforted by the fact that I'm not them. If that kind of thing really matters you can view the global rarity of steam achievements and show the rarest ones on your profile.

I just like the idea of all the achievements counting towards something.

I suppose you could always go and sign up for an account to True Steam Achievements or something.

Vanquish incoming this month (probably).

[Tragic Magic]

Ah yeah.

[Albert]

What is that eagle logo that laga posted? I recognise it and keep thinking it's wh40k related.

[jiggles]

It's from Vanquish

[Albert]

Ah I see. Well don't I look silly.

Thanks!

[Squinty]

Some people seem to think Vanquish's gameplay systems are tied to the 30fps limit it has on consoles. I'd still buy the gooseberry fool out of it regardless. Not a very long game, but it's strawberry floating awesome the whole way through.

It's still my favourite TPS of last gen.
