Rust: Kevlar, the OP Armor

So I was bored, so I decided to do some math crafting on the armor to find out just how strong the different armors are.

The armor values (Bullet) of the sets are:
Kevlar 85
Leather 40
Cloth 33
Rad-Suit 20

Each point of armor gives .53333333% reduced damage.
Kevlar 45.33% reduced damage, damage taken multiplied by 0.5466
Leather 21.33% reduced damage, damage taken multiplied by 0.7866
Cloth 17.60% reduced damage, damage taken multiplied by 0.824
Rad-Suit 10.66% reduced damage, damage taken multiplied by 0.893

So it seems that Kevlar is twice as good as leather, but in fact, these percentages are very deceiving and it turns out it’s a lot more than that…

multiplier = 100/(100 + %LifeIncrease)

Kevlar = 82.93% increased effective life pool
Leather = 27.12% increased effective life pool
Cloth = 21.36% increased effective life pool
Rad-Suit = 11.94% increased effective life pool

No Internet Sucks

Yeah so I’ve been the last few weeks without internet and I’m not sure when I’m going to get it back. Just letting everyone know, I’m ringing my ISP daily. Haha, see you guys soon.

X Rebirth

I would love to write pages on how this game looks amazing, but I think there is no way I can describe it better than a few videos.. Check them out.

Comes out 15/11. Singleplayer only so it’s not like we can play it as IPX, but whoa, looks incredible.

Start off with your single ship, trade, pirate, board enemy ships, grow your wealth, buy a fleet, buy a space station.

PoE Steam Highlight

If you would please point your attention to the Steam store, you will realize a game there that has taken the spotlight.

This is path of exile!

You are an Exile, struggling to survive on the dark continent of Wraeclast, as you fight to earn power that will allow you to exact your revenge against those who wronged you. Created by hardcore gamers, Path of Exile is an online Action RPG set in a dark fantasy world. With a focus on visceral action combat, powerful items and deep character customization, Path of Exile is completely free and will never be pay-to-win.

People compare it to Diablo, by saying it’s what Diablo 3 should’ve been. Personally, I think the game is very much like Diablo 2 and it’s deep customization with it’s HUGE passive skill tree and skill gem system is endless.

If you like action RPG’s, I definitely recommend having a look.

Make way for the Master of Stealth

Bored tonight, so I tried soloing framing frame on overkill stealthy.

Did it! :D
Wasn’t enormously difficult tbh and only had to restart once for day 1 and twice for day 3.

The Ship

Now I don’t know if anyone else has seen this game but I was wondering what everyone’s opinion of it is.

So you’re on a ship and around the ship you can find all sorts of weapons in the closets and hidey holes such as crow bars, pots, guns etc etc.

So while you’re running around looking for some nice weapons, you get given a target which is someone else on the ship and you use your weapons to take your target out. But of course, while you are doing this, someone else has you as a target as well. Your job is to take out your target before the round runs out. Another game mode is that when you kill someone, they stay out for the rest of the game and you get a new target. So there could be multiple people with you as a target.. Watch your back.

Don’t get spotted though! You’ll get sent to jail for a small amount of time which could be dangerous, as when you get released, your killer might be waiting for you…

Upgraded from a slug to a beast

So for the last few months I’ve had enormous trouble playing games due to the fact that I had a cheap laptop which was very very slow.

Well nooowww, I bought myself a computer and am ready slay zombies and rob banks in glorious high detail 1080p!

My specs:
Graphics Chip: Nvidia GT460
PSU: 700W Cooler Master Power Supply
Memory: 8GB 1.6GHz memory Gigabyte
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz
HD: 3TB Seagate Barracuda

All being played on a 24” LED monitor.

Alright, so it’s not enthusiast (not made of money here;) ) but it definitely does a job with rendering those zombies and creating those glorious blood splatters.
