The Flood / Which of these sounds the most interesting to you?
« on: February 03, 2015, 09:55:06 AM »
I have four main fictional universes I'm working on; 3 science fiction, 1 pseudo-fantasy. Which of these settings do you think is the most interesting?

Exodus
The one you have seen me post. Set in the year 2702, humans have dominated galactic politics for centuries and were utterly unprepared for the S'pher invasion. Now, they have one colony left, Exodus, and their war has finally reached it's turning point; the reclamation of Earth.

Hollow
Set inside a Dyson Sphere (Think of that forerunner planet off Halo Wars if you're unfamiliar with the concept), hollow focuses on the four main kingdoms that rule from within a planet and the truth behind how such a world was created- and the reason why ancient markings have been translated to call the place a Haven.

Oculus
Oculus is set in the 2300's- decades ago, the expanding human empire encountered another alien one- the Oculus. Ever since, humans have been confined to the inner Sol System, kept purely because the Oculus want to. Now, a rebellion started by a militant group unleashing a Terraforming Bomb on an Oculus world has started outright war between the two powers.

Final Light
Several hundred trillion years in the future, humans have evolved into multiple species spread out cross the galaxies. However, expansion of the universe long ago accelerated past the speed if light; the only visible star te those of our own galaxy. As te black hole era sets in, the final stars of the Milky Way are dying and the end of the universe is setting in. This is based off if a real predicted scenario called 'Heat Death of the Universe'.

Serious / What do you think of this?

YouTube


Concerning the latter half of the video, at the 5 billion years mark.

I think it puts a lot into perspective really. At how insignificant the evolution and cultural development of a species and even the life cycle of a star is when compared to the estimate for the end of matter as we know it.

What do you think?

Gaming / What do you think of this statement?
« on: February 02, 2015, 01:48:23 AM »
"Any game should be able to stand up on its single player alone."

Of course, the reasoning being that if an in line community stops playing a game/ the servers go down, you have spent £60 on a big paperweight.

Personally, I fully agree. I think that any game should have enough single player content to justify purchase with multiplayer as an added bonus. Any multiplayer only title shouldn't be a full priced release.

The Flood / Hey, gun nuts
« on: February 02, 2015, 01:35:53 AM »
Y'know how a weapon that has it's magazine loaded behind the trigger is a bullpup weapon, right? What do you call one where the magazine a loaded on top of te weapon? Case in point the M1 Garand.

I'm trying to think of something- the main service rifle for my human infantry (The M231) loads its ammo on te top side but I can't think of the name.

The Flood / Am I going insane?
« on: February 01, 2015, 03:13:32 PM »
This is my latest project in my scifi stuff. I'm naming every ship in the human fleet.

But here's the catch, it's took 4 hours to do this, and Sol alone has 20 dedicated defence fleets- I've done 4 and I'm struggling. Primus, the nearest world, has 7 fleets, Secundus and Tertius (Both same star system) have 15, and the rest have between 1 and five. This doesn't count Exodus itslef, which has a dedicated fleet of 1,000 at all times.

Am I going insane? Am I in way over my head? At least for the second one; fuck no. This is fun.

Right now, there's jut a red circle when you have unread notifications, but it's kind o annoying trying to figure out which one(a) you've seen before and which ones you haven't. Is there a possibility for it to have "1" or "2" an so forth to know how many there are?

The Flood / So my writing folder has over 300 documents
« on: January 21, 2015, 04:34:20 PM »
-11.5mb of FUCKING WORD DOCUMENTS
-304 Documents
-120 sub-folders

My Exodus stuff (My main science fiction universe)
-282 files
-117 folders
-11.3 mb

My fantasy stuff (I have a smaller fantasy project that is a dumping ground for my ideas tht I cant fit with my Scifi stuff)
-3 files

My stories folder (Actual narrative stuff)
-19 files


Ishould note that my Exodus stuff hasn't even begun 7 of the 13 species, and their technologies, backhistories, culture, physiology, and so forth. I am barely a third of the way through my human stuff, and have only covered 4 of over 200 star systems and their planets, as well as recounts of major events and stuff that I have written on notepads that need to be refined to go better with what I have so far.

Thought I'd share how much I have ^.^. I think I'll be in the thousands of documents by the time I'm considering being anywhere near done.

By major war, I'm talking WWIII levels, not the shit that's happening in the ME right now. I mean superpowers going at it.

Personally, I believe that there will be something major by the end of the century, at least. I don't have any evidence or proof, it's just one of those things that you geta feeling about and you don't kow why. But I don't think we, as a species, will be able to last more than a hundred years without major combat.

Posted in serious for obvious reasons.

The Flood / Are drawing pads good in conjunction with photoshop?
« on: January 17, 2015, 09:55:37 AM »
I have photoshop, but I'm finding using a touchpad on my laptop really fucking annoying (My mouse broke) and I'm thinking about getting a drawing pad to use for digital art. Are they worth it? How much do decent ones cost?

I tried out a friends and it did this thing where it would start drawing if you had the pen a few millimetres off the surface, which was really annoying for me- but he said his cost £30. Do they all do that?

I remember cheat saying he was considering it, any news on that?

There, 37 images, pretty much all of the UNSC Army, though with one or two of the Marines. The army in Reach looked so much cooler than the Marines IMO.

Gaming / RE: H2A Marine BDU

Just noticed this, and I love how the H2A marine armour is stylised/ the same as the Halo Wars one;

Halo Wars


Halo 2A

Specifically, the chestplate has the same shape (+ the addition of ammo pouches) and the little bit with the UNSC in block and the serial bar.

Awesome touch, I love that they remembered that. Though it makes more sense when you remember that blur did the cutscenes for Halo Wars, too, so I guess it's only natural that they use the same/ similar designs in both versions.

The Flood / When can we expect bungie to have a 140 character limit?
« on: January 17, 2015, 06:55:42 AM »
I've just been back to bnet for the first time in about six months, and holy shit, it is worse than I remembered. On top of #tags, we have @[username] now?

Actually, 140 characters there wouldn't be so bad now I think about it.

I wrote some technobabble about how the Covenant's active camo and the UNSC's SPI armour could/ can work IRL. Enjoy.
