I'M BACK! YEAH BABY, YEAH! OH BEHAVE! I'm all super hyper on getting this game out ASAP!

Sorry it's taking so long but I really appreciate the patience and everyone still taking the time to talk about stuff on the forum nearly each day. I think that just has to be said.

Thank you,
Lennard Fonteijn

SOLVE IT! NOW! I tried numerous of combinations, but it's fun to pull some of you guys in I guess.

People believe it's a find and replace (5 becomes -). But if you keep doing this, you eventually end up at exactly the same value (there are like 5 infinite loops).

Also, the l becomes l is suspicious, it might be a hint (see fourth sequence).

I want to remind you guys about some things regarding applauding/smiting. As you can read here: http://community.projectstealthgame.com/forums/index.php?topic=2951.msg61203, karma has been added to the forums just a few days ago and I am already seeing forms of abuse (Dread being in -22 and Agent being in +17). I would like to remind you guys, as stated in the aforementioned topic, that ANY form of abuse will result in a global server ban (and also a ban in-game once PS is released). We can see exactly who gave who an applaud/smite on which topic.

Other than that, I feel the karma-option should be disabled in the off-topic section, as it should represent how you are in the serious topics, not the non-sense ones.

I dedicate this image to Farley, for it being his old avatar if I remember correctly.

Took me some time to create, but it was fun to do. I will probably make a second one in the future to see if I can get an even better shape and less gaps.

If you want to give it yourself a go, get these two images:

http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh312/LennardF1989/Unsorted/page_2.png

Be sure to print on thicker than normal paper. Cut out the parts with a knife, as you can be a lot more precise with it, use the back of the knife to carve in the lines on which you're going to fold the paper. Use a dry and easily removable glue - like photo-glue or Pritt - for if you make mistakes. Last but not least, have fun doing it.

For more angles on my version, check:

Hey guys,

As you may have noticed steam is running a sale untill the 29th with new offers every day.

As you might also know, there is a huge difference between USD, GBP and EUR pricings and I think we could help eachother out getting the best deals where possible.

I, for example, want to buy Batman through someone in Great Brittian.
USD: 10.20
EUR: 10.20
GBP: 5.10

In this case, if I would pay in euro's, GBP is the cheapest, because it's 27% under the USD price!

So if someone can help me out, please, I'll send you the money back (in the right valuta, ofcourse) through Paypal. Please contact me before the timer runs out on Xfire/Steam/MSN/PM whatever.

Feel free to use this topic for your own requests!

Lennard

[Cooler Master Centurion 590]

I just bought the first and most important part, the Cooler Master Centurion 590



I loved the slick design of this one, especially because it has the power button on top-front (rather than on the side, which is piss-ugly - Yes, looking at your PC frvge :P) and the USB ports on the front, rather than on top of the casing (which seems to be very popular, WHY?!).

Once I receive the case I will order my other parts, a small gripe from the stack:

• XFX 5850 Black Edition (which I will later CrossFire with a second one)
• ASUS P6X58-E (with x58 Chipset - allowing x16/x16 lanes on SLI/Crossfire - S-ATA 600 and USB 3.0)
• Intel Core i7-950 (which yesterday dropped 50% in price, core clock at 3,06GHz, TurboBoost to 3,33GHz, overclockable to 4,2GHz with ease)
• Corsair 6GB DDR3-1600 (Made especially for the X58 chipset and the i7-9xx series)

This in combination with a Cooler Master Silent Pro 700w (with future upgrades in mind, current system uses less than 400 watts).

Notable:
Should run Crysis easily :P

Due to a certain topic I just have this urge to play Battlefield 2, who owns this game and feels like a good 32-64 player game over the weekend? The more the merrier ;)

There are loads of empty servers we can use.

Name your XFire account so I can invite you to the groupchat, it will probably take place Saturday around 8PM GMT+1 (reasonable for USA too, which would be 2AM or so - West Coast -). We'll probably use a Teamspeak server for the fun of it, too.

'nuf said. Subscribe as if your life depends on it! Pretty please ;D

Do people have problems with this?

SM2 stands for Shader Model 2.0 which is used by older videocards, whereas most modern videocards support SM3 or even SM4. So it does remove some sort of legacy support.

I don't really mind though, spares like 1/3 of the shader recompiling time... :P

EDIT:
You can check if you're videocard support SM3 by looking for the specification "Pixel Shader" and see if it is at least 3.0

I just bought Splinter Cell Conviction.

Why? Because I believe I can't judge a game before actually playing it (seeing it doesn't count) and downloading it and having to install DRM server emulators and shit is just too much of a hazzle (I thus indirectly support the DRM, argh). Besides, the coop seems fun, right?

I bought the normal version because the only exclusive thing you can't somehow get your hands on is a stupid SPAS shotgun. You can already download the "Making of", comic book and the soundtrack (and it's probably also released officially for FREE because of defective USB drives that came with the limited edition, lol). All other stuff can be unlocked by actually PLAYING the game instead of typing codes or texting Ubisoft and giving them even more money.

There, i said it, fuck you Ubisoft.

Does anyone here have a PSP? (and maybe XLink setup -and working, duh -).

I'm looking for people to play Fat Princess with, I'm also fine with other suggestions.

[A serie of topics in attempt to resurrect the forum]

A serie of topics in attempt to resurrect the forum

Introduction
Although pretty much everything has been discussed, but spread over quite a number of topics, it would be pretty awesome if everything is rethought (again) and bundled in one official topic. This first post will be updated reguraly with ideas, thoughts, stories, anything ;)

The first topic in the series: The Spy.

What about it?
What should the spy be able to do (animation wise)? Do you want multiple spy skins/models? If so, should they be unlocks like DA? What should the story/history of the spy be? Which gadgets should he have? Should there be a limit on how many gadgets he can carry? Should there be ammocrates for the spy as they are for the mercenary? Anything you can think up!

Note: Don't go really deep into the gadgets themself (mechanics), just say which ones you think the spy should have. Only new ones in comparision to PT/CT/DA should get a small description for later discussion. Each gadget will get its own topic for discussion!

What do we know already
- Works for some corporation, but not how he ended up there.
- Non-lethal besides neckbreak.
- Stealthy
- Cool moves such as diving, wallflip, back to wall.
- Can climb pretty much everywhere (freeroaming)

What does the community think?
- Multiple models, but only slight changes. Multiple skins would be cool, too.
- Random drop of items.
- 3 rounds of sticky shocker in one go. Recharge afterwards.
- Story: Private corporation, as long as it's not out of revenge.
- A spy humiliation move (LOL: teabagging with physics!)
- DA like animations and escape moves
- Disorientating gas out of wrist (See image 1)

[18th: Building the booth]

As promised, today I will be posting the images made at GamesCom. Each comes with a story, so read on. Yes, we know the booth looks horrible, that's our budget in action.

18th: Building the booth



It was supposed to be build already. We we're carrying a big-ass TV and all stuff that was supposed to be on the booth. After an hour or 2 of arranging, we had to go back to the camping, taking back all the stuff again.

19th: Press day





Since we had no rating, we had to cover all the screens as much as possible. Germany is a bitch, so even with this setup the USK came by and complained. We were pretty pissed about it, so we took a laptop with us to the USK booth and after about 2 hour we had a "All age"-rating.

20th: Public day #1







Since we now had an "All age"-rating, we could make the booth more "lounge"-like, so we bought some cheapass PR material (208 business cards and some URL's on the wall) and recieved about 70 people. We were demoing the Spy in lakehouse like whole day.

21st: Public day #2

All 208 cards were taken by the crowd, yay.


22nd and 23rd: Public day #3 & #4

No pictures yet, sorry. But we were sponsored by AluGraphics for two really nice mouse-pads.

Some general pictures.

Our "Holland Paviljoen"-logo, looks pretty kick-ass. (below us is the Triumph Studios logo from the Overlord and Age of Wonders series)

More photos about our stay in Koln/Cologne can be found at http://www.projectstealthgame.com/public/misc/gamescomfrvge/ . Have fun!

That's all folks!

[serious]

So, what's everyones serious thoughts about PS being at GamesCom? Will we be seeing you? Are you jalous some people get to play it earlier? Chance to grow playerbase? Etcetera

:)

[legal copy]

http://www.g2play.net/store/Unreal-Tournament-3-Steam-Key.html

Hereby I recommend G2Play to everyone, I've ordered multiple games from them (Most notable: 2x Left 4 Dead, 1x Orange Box, 1x Half-Life Classic pack - 10 games -) and gained Premium status (giving me access to free keys* and bulk discounts :D).

I believe Rambo got his UT3 copy from G2Play as well.

I suggest you get it now while it's cheap, because you really need a legal copy of UT3 to get PS to run at all, we have rules to mind (specifically: EULA).

* Only once in a while. No really, ONCE in a while.

I've been to the second show in the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam yesterday, it was awesome.

Too bad the real actor who plays "Parson Nathaniel" had some private problems, so we had a stand-in.

Both the first and the second show in Amsterdam can be seen on YouTube, tonight, at 20:00 (GTM+1 - 2 with DST... -), the third show will be broadcasted live on Radio 2 (Dutch channel). For those interested, this is the stream version: http://www.radio2.nl/page/player/breedband

Other people who attended to the show (anywhere around the world)? What were your thoughts?

Check it here:

http://www.gamersnet.nl/movies/splinter_cell_conviction/teaser_1/#reacties

They recently launched a new site for SC:C, displaying some mysterical text: http://splintercell.uk.ubi.com/conviction/

According to the dutch story, it seems Sam returns to E3 finding out everything is not the same anymore, bosses are in a political battle and he decides to leave.

I think the change of the summary can conclude they actually restarted SC:C from scratch, the voice of Michael Ironside confirms that, as one of the reasons he didn't want to work along was because of the fans not agreeing with Ubisoft (and money :P).

Ok, thanks to HYPER STAG BEETLE I have seen yet another anime, this time: Neon Genesis Evangelion.

And I have to admit... This anime is a brainfucker at some point, none the less, it's briljant and soo deep/psychological it actually makes you think about it all the time.

So, I feel talking about it now with people who have seen it. Ofcourse, if you haven't, you can also just go and watch, so you can participate, here are is link with all 26 episodes:

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.viewVideos&channelid=228087177&page=0

You can watch them in both English and Japanese (Yes, with English subs). I suggest the latter, just because Japanese are better in their role, voices are better and it actually makes more sense (also lipsync) than the English dub.

A word of advice, DON'T go look at wikipedia untill after you watched all episodes (and the movies), because it will blow the plot away for you! You probably need wikipedia's glossary to tie the lose ends together (as I said, it's a brainfucker at some points).

If you intent to watch, the right order of watching is:
Episode 1 to 26
Death and Rebirth (Only watch Death(True), or Death(True)^2, in case you can find the directors cut of the 21 to 24 episodes)
The End of Evangelion (Both parts, duh)

Now, for a short description. I won't spoiler yet, I'll say so when I will (I need to have something to discuss, right?), here goes:

---

The anime is about a world united into one nation (United Nations, BESIDES the US though, they are independant) after a long war, caused by the so-called "Second Impact", a big meteor hit Antartica, which created numerous of tsunamis killing half the worlds population. Due to scarceness, people started wars, but these were ended by signing the UN contracts and world was peacefully again.

15 years later, in the year 2015, 14 old Ikari Shinji (Shinji is his firstname, first name is some sort of surname) is being called to Tokyo-3 to work at his fathers government creation, NERV. Tokyo-3 is one huge fortress, build to protect it's citizens against the so-called Angels, powerfull creatures which were predicted to attack 15 years after the "Second Impact", reasons unknown. Just at the moment Shinji is in Tokio 3, the 3rd Angel starts his attack.

---

That's about the the summary you will get without spoilering more information or telling you half of the first episode. If you're interested, you should already have some questions by now:

What is NERV?
Why is Shinji asked to work for NERV?
What about the Angel?

So go watch NGE, you won't regret it.

Now for the sake of this discussion, I don't actually know a starting point, perhaps someone could open the discussion? Preferably from Episode 1 to 3, so that newer watchers can also join the discussion.

Hey all,

Epic made a deal with Steam and you can now use your retail key of UT3 to also get a Steam copy of the game!

Simply open up Steam, click "Register a game", enter your serial (including the hyphens -) and voilà, you know have both Retail and Steam in possesion.

For those who wonder, no, the game won't say your key is already in use if you registered to Steam. You can use both versions of the game anytime you want (just not at the same time, ofcourse).

Have fun!
