Subversion by Introversion

Feeling nostalgic I was looking around the internet at various things related to the game Uplink (by Introversion).  Then I came across this.   This is the quote that really caught my attention:

You may also see a lot of Uplink in this game – which is no accident, as we’ve always considered Subversion to be the "Spiritual Sequel" to our debut game.

Aion Legion: Discord

So for those of you who are going to be playing Aion, I am starting a legion (Discord) for Elyos on the Nezekan server. Feel free to come join us =)


Update: We have changed to the Yustiel server due to Nezekan being changed to a GMT+10 server.

Sensics piSight™ HMD

Now that my Emotiv EPOC is on order, it's time to go for the other half of the equation... I've been wanting the Sensics piSight HMD for 3 years now and I think it would make an excellent addition to the EPOC.

Here's the current stats from their product page:

	Panoramic field of view (82° to 180°, depending on model) provides situational awareness, active peripheral vision and enhanced realism
	High resolution: Most models offer better than HD 1080p resolution, with up to 4200x2400 full-color pixels per eye
	A balanced design that is comfortable and stays cool.
	Over 30 models to choose from, offering the perfect fit for most performance and budget requirements

When I talked with Jim Bradford 2 years ago, the stats were a bit different.

It costs $30k+; half down rest in 3 months
Recommended 3 PNY (nVidia) FX4500 [X2 means 4 outputs]
which would drive the 12 screens (if outputs in 2400x600 mode)

Now it seems that it can be driven from 1 or 2 DVI inputs. I'll need to check back with Jim to see if I can get an upgraded recommendation on video cards and costs.

Vanguard Guild Website

Our Vanguard Guild Website is now active.

Who was wanting trial keys?

UPDATE: Vanguard Saga of Heroes

Well, we picked up our guild edition today. We will be starting the guild here shortly.

Along with it, we got 10 trial keys (good for 10 days it appears). If you want one of them (and are considering playing and joining our guild) let me know.

Oh, and we are playing in Kojan on the RP Preferred Server.

Simply Catan?

I noticed the google ad at the top of my gmail and... voila...
A beginner version of Catan for kids. It says it is for ages 10+.

Of course, even if the original game wasn't labelled as 12+, the Kids of Catan is listed 4+.

So, all in all.. not sure what their niche target is, but... it is Catan, so I relate it.

Vanguard

Well, they have announced that the full version will be available in stores on Jan 30th. MSRP $49.99 for normal edition and $89.99 for limited edition.

Of course, for those not yet running the pre-order, you can avoid going to the stores and get the pre-order as a direct download.

I have been testing the game a lot lately. It still has quite a few bugs, but has a lot of potential. Of course, they are also patching 1-3 times/day at the moment, so a lot might get fixed before the official launch date.

Dino is having the same problem running it that she had with City of Villains... not sure what it is... could be video card, or just the fact that the hardware is a couple years old. Think we are going to upgrade her box.

It appears that the current requirements for a guild are that we have 6 members... I have the in-game book to do it; but it requires that we all be grouped when I read the book. If you are interested in joining Eilas' Resource Investment Society (name subject to change over next 2 weeks) let me know and I will grant you access to that blog.

Our guild has a long-term goal of creating our own guild-created and guild-controlled city. Yes, player-built cities are possible :)

As a side note, we will be purchasing the $90 one, as it has some stuff to assist with running guilds. One of the things that it comes with is 10 trial keys. I don't know how long the trial keys are good for -- but if you would rather wait for the trial key in two weeks (instead of paying $10 for the preorder, which comes off the games price) then let us know and we will pass them out in 2 weeks when we get them.
