Brian Rubin:

Nah guys, I’ll be exploding later after I have these chicken soft tacos from Del Taco.

Anyone here played this (STAR-BOX: RPG Adventures in Space) long enough to give it a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down?

A bit late in responding to this, but I finally got a few hours into this and, if you can get past the decidedly throwback graphics and interface, there is a ton of stuff here. You can board space fish and loot their innards, for chrissakes, or be killed by a swarm of space bees that have taken over a freighter (but if you get the queen’s stinger, it can be used to genetically enhance your character), or get paid by a collector for some exotic alien pelts on a nearby planet. It’s crazy, batshit so, and I really kinda love it in that weird way I loved Eastern European games during the mid 2000s when they were the only ones making space games. Love the quirkiness.

There will be vids all week of this this coming week, but yeah, in a very odd way, I dig this shit.

So, today’s random thought: You know which game I’d love to see remade/rebooted/just appear on GOG dammit? Millennia: Altered Destinies. God I love the fuck out of that quirky-ass game.

Paging Brian–I noticed that your latest SGJ podcast (126) is up on YouTube, but iTunes has gotten no love so far. :-( Any ETA?

BrianRubin · 2015-10-01T08:54:09.000Z

Today or tomorrow most likely, gotta get the audio file from my co-host.

Hey, Star Citizen popped up on Steam Early Access for $13. Under the fake name of “Angels Fall First”.

A 21.2 MB gif, by the by. Maybe you should link the gifv instead?

If that game is half as good as that .gif makes me feel, then I’m in.

Brian, did you ever get a chance to try out Beyond Sol? The user reviews are quite good.

Oh yes, did a multiplayer session with the dev a monthish ago, so, so fun:

Also did some single player this past weekend. It’s really a blast.

Interesting but why the heck did you leave that big chat notice on? Very annoying, it takes up a ton of screen space!

BrianRubin · 2015-10-01T13:40:14.000Z

I think it’s helpful to see the chat questions I’m responding to, and sadly that’s the best plugin I’ve found to do so so far.

RichVR · 2015-10-01T15:03:08.000Z

Surprised that I haven’t heard anything about Angels Fall First. It seems to be pretty solid. Wishlisted.

Ah, ok, you’re forgiven :)

RichVR · 2015-10-01T16:46:38.000Z

Okay, purchased. When I have some time I’ll get into it a bit.

Otagan · 2015-10-01T17:08:14.000Z

I’m going to be all over that as soon as I hear they have US servers set up.

Brian, how come you get to play Rebel Galaxy? I saw you just playing that on Steam. [shakes fist]
