NBA 2K15 half price

If anyones interested in getting 2K15, it’s currently half price here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/167960

Retail is $69.95 US which works out to be about $81 with conversion. $40 at the link above.

2K15 is a whole different beast to 2K14 and earlier on PC. It has a new mode called My Park.

It’s 2 on 2 or 3 on 3, where you control one player. It’s a great arcadey mode that anyone could get into. It would be a lot of fun to have 6+ IPXers in there playing that mode.

Here’s the first video I found on mypark. When I have some time later I’ll post another one…

Rust looks GOOD!

It’s been a while. No… actually it’s been a LONG while since I’ve played Rust. I’ve been preoccupied with NBA, and other endeavours.

But today I decided it was time to fire up some Rust and see how the new versions going. It looks really good. I haven’t kept up with the Devblog to see all these changes. But it’s very different and looks a heap more playable than last time I joined.

In 10 minutes of playtime I found:

- Some houses – A massive satelite dish, that I climbed to the top of (unsure if human made or part of the map) – Fought a deer – Killed a naked and stole his skull – Spent most of the remaining 9 minutes just staring at the beautiful scenery and wondering where to go – Until I found another house. Banged on its door for a while until a guy with a spear came out, speared me, stole my rock while I was dying, and left me to bleed out.

Think it’s worth giving another go with a bunch of people if anyones interested.

RUST!!!

Does Team IPX need a Zombie proof log cabin?

Saw this article on cnet recently and thought at last someone has filled this significant gap in the log cabin market. My only question is if you were going to get a cabin to survive the zombie apocalypse why on earth would you build out of something that can burn or rot?!

Zombie-proof log cabin has 10-year anti-zombie guarantee

by Amanda Kooser
21 October 2014

If the zombie apocalypse ever arrives, you’ll be happy you dropped a ton of cash for a cabin designed to fortify you against attacks by the undead.

You hear the horrifying groans. Decaying hands scrabble at the door, trying to find a way in. They want to eat you. You sit down on the sofa, kick your feet up and open a can of Spam. No worries. You’re inside a Zombie Fortification Cabin from Tiger Log Cabins. All you have to do now is wait in safety and comfort for the zombie apocalypse to blow over.

Gallery: BrickCon, The biggest LEGO convention we’ve ever seen

Full Story

Last weekend, the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall hosted BrickCon, one of the nation’s largest and longest-running public exhibitions of LEGO art and dioramas. While Ars’ staff suffers from varying levels of LEGO-mania, we all thought this convention’s 13th annual iteration might be a cool place to see a range of amateur and professional block creations.

This year’s show, in particular, caught our eye thanks to a hot tip about a Doom-themed installation, so we rushed in with our camera to snap a few choice hellions, and then we proceeded to catalog much of what we saw at the show. Take a look at our gallery for Technics, trains, war reenactments, pop culture minutiae, castles, space stations, boats, cars, and much more.

CS:GO for linux beta available and left 4 dead is now uncut

CS:GO finally available as a beta

i figured out how to block steam from downloading it from any server but telstra so i could actually install it with my 8 GB of data :) it runs well didnt see any performance issues. mic’s dont work yet(was the same with L4D2 in its early beta) and i had the ui screw up a few times but not a bad beta release

also L4D2 is now uncut in Australia. if you got the low violence version theres a free dlc to switch…. so much better uncut!!!

Borderlands Replaces GameSpy With Steamworks

A Steam community announcement has details on an update for Borderlands on Steam to replace the game’s defunct GameSpy multiplayer support with Steamworks. This page has instruction on how to update your copy of Gearbox’s role-playing shooter, including details for those who have not previously installed the game under Steam. The instructions say the update will come later this summer, but that first announcement indicates this is live now. Word is: “If you have a physical DVD of the game, don’t forget you can get the Steamworks version by running the “Granting Tool” in the “Tools” section of Steam.”

Chivary for Linux?

saw this posted on reddit today

https://www.facebook.com/Chivalrythegame/photos/a.375448502494830.86460....
http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/2ftlau/chivalry_coming_soo...

looks promising chivalry might be heading to linux ofcourse one of the first comments you see is some entitled windows user posting something like this:
“Can’t you just fix the bugs instead of focusing on idiotic shit like this? Wow… “ – Some Windows Bridge Dweller who is already enjoying chivalry and doesn’t want to share his toys

if it does come out it will probably be one of the ones i pick up next sale along with borderlands 2(and the pre sequel) and a million other linux titles that have yet to be announced :)
