Lenin go to super and play dyne if you wanna see how good he is

He there right now

Probably wonā€™t be making it tonight. Lemme text some people and maybe but no promises.

.

Dyne and good doesnā€™t belong in the same sentence, my personal opinion.

is anyone gonna buy Civ: Beyond Earth? I watched TotalBiscuitā€™s first glance video and while Iā€™m not sold on it, I expect like most Firaxis products it will improve a lot with expansions.

I like space! Itā€™ll never be Alpha Centauri but it could be the next best thing.

if there was a Civilization: Star Trek edition where I could play as the Klingons I would be all over it.

Iā€™ll get it when itā€™s half off or something over the summer.
If you have any interestin in 4X games check out Endless Space.

Checking out endless space later and I had no idea weā€™ve made it past AD in the Civs realm. I knew about alpha centauri but never knew anyone that played it. Cooollll

I like 4X games, though I donā€™t really play them that much. thereā€™s a few of the genre sitting in my library where I bought them, played three games, then never touched again. 4X is a genre that requires a lot of time investment all at once, I canā€™t always do that anymore.

Master of Orion 2 was my gold standard for 4X. Havenā€™t played Civ since 3 but Beyond Earth peaked my interest. A friend was recommending it to me a few days ago. Steamā€™ward ho!

Hello,

I just started 3.3 2 days ago and I heard a training mode was possible for PC players, can I have more info about it please ?

Hey man, welcome to SRKā€™s 3rd Strike sub-forum. ESN posted a couple of links some time ago, here: Chun Tricks: The Thread
Unzip both files (Iā€™d recommend unzipping the second ā€œ3fvā€ file into after the other, so you can put it where you unzipped FBA-rr). Youā€™ll have to set up FBA-rr so it can access your 3S ROM. It might give an error when loading, but donā€™t worry about that. After the game runs, on the FBA menu bar, go to Game > Lua Scriptingā€¦ > New Lua Script Windowā€¦ , browse for the file called 3rd_training_20120212.lua and then click Run on the window.

Once youā€™ve got the game and script running, you can select your character and start the game. Once a fight has started, you hold down 1P Start to give you a training menu. The explanations are in Japanese, but you can work it out. There is no way to make the opponent auto-guard, or turn the AI off, so I recommend selecting a character on the 2P side to have a dummy to practice on.

Note: when using FBA-rr for Lua Scripting, keep the Video Blitter to Basic. Enhanced basically crashes the whole program for some reason.

Thank you ! Everything is clear, but I have a little problem with FBA. When I go to set options in the menu, the game pause and I donā€™t know how ot unpause itā€¦ Thatā€™s ridiculous but I donā€™t find a solution. Any clue ?

try the pause button on keyboard above num pad

As simple as that ahah, thanks Dander !

Last thing, I canā€™t freeze health and time in training mode with your lua, is that normal ?

EDIT : Problem solved by using cheats (.ini one).

Now itā€™s train to practice my target shoryu combo ^.^

Gutter Trash singles lasts about 3 hours, if we did single elim it would probably last like 1 hour, iā€™m not sure if ā€œburn outā€ really applies here. But i have played in lots of tournaments where top 4 are delayed until the evening and iā€™m totally burn out by then and play like utter crap, but again not really a double elim thing. Iā€™m sure Ryan is referring to large scale tournaments and tournaments with a poor player - setup ratio (Rusty Parry for instance)

just finished my first game and canā€™t give Beyond Earth any seal of approval. if you havenā€™t bought it yet Iā€™d say pass on it! based on Metacritic fan reviews it seems Iā€™m not alone in this feeling.

Thatā€™s sad. Wanted a reason to play a Civ again. Thanks for the heads up.

yeah itā€™s just kinda bland at the moment. Civ 5 is okay but it has some pretty weak diplomacy and thereā€™s some stuff I donā€™t like much about it. itā€™s my least favorite Civ. and BE is essentially Civ 5 in space. plays more like a mod of 5 than a new game. maybe patches will fix it? but considering how itā€™s in the 5 engine and just how much overlap there is I think itā€™ll always be stuck in that groove to some extent.

if you want a reason to play Civ I always recommend Civ 4. itā€™s pretty similar to 3 but I think better in every way. whereas 5 and BE are a pretty different take on the series from 3/4.

What the actual fuck is wrong with the FGC? Now they are talking about playing some complete bullshit game called DFC which is yet another pedophile anime fighter that looks like garbage. This is getting ridiculous. How did we let it get this bad?

Donā€™t knock anime fighters just for the sake of knocking anime fighters, but do knock DFC because it looks like absolute garbage. Akira Yuki deserves much better.
