Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nope, not a project rifle!

But something probably just as time and money consuming.

A new game that I heard about called Fallen Earth.
It seems pretty awesome and other than the stiff riding on the ATV and the normal online lag, the game seems to be really cool.

Some game play.

Video part two is on the right column.

At first I was bawing because the game got my hopes up and then I saw the gameplay video and it went down when I saw third person camera.
But only temporary! Because near the end of the video and just before I clicked submit to my, 'God dammit I had my hopes up for this game but it's third person' complaint, the demonstrator said, 'This is third person and first person' I couldn't click cancel fast enough and a manly tear beaded in my eye.

Now, this is an FPS MMORPG.
... I'm still reeling from the potential awesomeness of this enterprise.
While I'm not looking forward to getting PKed from afar, I hope there are 'normal' servers, but anyway it would be nice to make a few friends and go out scavaging together or go on a raid on the raiders.

I am a bit biased, in the gameplay footage I saw a G36x which to me makes the game instant Win.

The game is much like WoW in the payment department.
You pay for the game, get 30 free days and for any time after that you gotta pay $14.99 a month, or pay 6 months recurring for a lump sum that comes out to be 12.99 or 13.99(cant remember which) a month or some such thing.
Buying time in bulk would be the best description.


Best thing about it is that I just heard about it so I haven't been waiting a whole year or two for it's release. However I will be waiting 8 more days.
Perhaps more if they're not on shelves in Target.
:/ I have a gift card. Otherwise I would have driven to Gamestop and preordered the game and would be beta testing it right now.



The game does have a selection of Melee weapons of course, and if you're into that, awesome!
I'd just be using melee as a backup to my backup.


And if you had heard about this game, why haven't you posted about it?

I'm a cheap, poor b*****d. I already have enough in the way of monthly costs. And a distinct lack of income.

Since I have time, money, and a distinct thirst for awesome, I might have to give this a look. But my laptop doesn't have a CD drive, so I don't know if it's possible.

This is Ober again, I'm on my 'I don't remember my password because I'm on my laptop' account.


Anyway, if you get the game after I do, would you put my referral number?
I don't have it yet because I don't have the game.

Be grateful you don't have a ******** Intel GMA950 soldered onto your motherboard like I do. My computer is well within the minimum specs to play Portal, but the Orange Box can't cope with Intel brand cards.
