Re: Descent Underground - Kickstarter goal reached!

Now things are going to get interesting. I'll be honest I was surprised to see the funding go through, mostly because of their lackluster introduction at the beginning of the KS. I pledged $80 anyway, and know I am very glad I did. I am very excited to observe the development of this game through th...

Re: Descent : Underground. Did anyone here knew about this?

Back in 2012 I was excited to back star citizen and elite in anticipation that someone somewhere would reboot descent. It seemed inevitable especially since 90's fads are coming back both in pop culture and in the gaming industry. I thought SolC was the closest, in my opinion, to bringing that feel ...

Re: Descent : Underground. Did anyone here knew about this?

Personally.. I liked the idea of Sol Contingency a lot better. I may throw 30 dollars at this.. But I was really hoping to at least try SolC. I have backed both Star Citizen, and Elite. I just don't know about this new reboot yet. But the fact that it has something to do with Descent really peaks my...

The card runs like a dream and couldn't be happier. However I wanted to experiment with overclocking and try to get it up to maybe 680 speeds but u...

I've been playing the Caspian Boarder map on my new PC a lot this weekend. It's really fun and i especially love the sound effects. The game plays great on 32 man servers, and a tad bit laggy on 64 man. Tried Operation Metro on my ps3 and it was surprisingly enjoyable in my living room.
