EEEE, thanks to a lot of tweaking, and a lot of help from Joe from the Upper Memory Block podcast (which if y’all don’t listen to, you need to), I got the Roland MT-32 properly working. OMG Wing Commander 1 and 2, F117A Stealth Fighter 2.0 and TIE Fighter all sound just superb! It’s also neat to see the little LCD on the MT-32 blink and say which instruments it’s using. Such a neat little piece of kit! I’ll be doing a video comparing the basic SB sound effects with the MT-32 soonish. :)
Hello my friends, and welcome to another week of awesome space gaming! This week’s game of the week is the shockingly fun Iron Sky: Invasion. It’s nice to be pleasantly surprised after the crushing disappointment that was Stellaris. ;) I also hope to get some preview videos done this week, so keep an eye out for those.
On the podcast (Tuesday, 5:30 PM PDT), we’ll welcome back the creator and developer of the spacey MMO Ascent - The Space Game.
For Thursday night (also 5:30 PM PDT), this week’s poll has a ton of choices, so head over and decide what I’ll play!
Thanks so much for your time! :)
Of course Star Control 3 is winning.
I voted for Starbound, so this time I’m innocent. I mean, I’m always innocent. Hey, look at that cloud! So, how’s the weather today?
Hmm, I’d read that the Iron Sky game was hot garbage, and apparently it isn’t?
It’s shockingly not! I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. Maybe that’s because my expectations were really low.
Glad to hear it. I must confess though, that my comment was at least partially motivated by needing a good excuse to use the term “hot garbage,” which tickles me greatly. I think I first heard it used by David Abrams AKA CheapyD of Cheap Ass Gamer fame on his podcast (he’s from NYC, I think–is that an East Coast thing, does anyone know?).
Not sure if someone said it already, but GOG has a weekly sale going with the 4 Star Trek games they have on a 80% discount on the full bundle (60% otherwise):
Folks, I’m sorry I forgot to mention this yesterday, but for tonight’s podcast (5:30 PDT) covering Ascent - The Space Game, we also have some Steam keys to give away. All you need to do is stop by and engage in the conversation, and two random viewers will get keys! Hope to see you there!
BTW friends, if anyone needs a great stick, this is an AMAZING price on a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 on ebay. Like, amazing. If someone else doesn’t get it, I will. ;)
I don’t need five of these things, folks, so help save me from myself. ;)
You need seven of them one for each day of the week!
Hahahahahha nooooo, I have one I use and three backups.
You have one stored at an off-site location, right?
Sefety deposit boxes of course!

Brian - What the heck is this? I AM INTRIGUED!
House of the Dying Sun :
I remember when you were not yet my Dragon.
I am the only one
edit: Oh - its a namechange from Starfighter. I did wonder what happened to that.
The build I have says I can’t talk about it yet.
Has the House of the Dying Sun been the ruin of many a poor boy? ;-)
House of the Dying Sun - is that Mike Tipul’s Enemy Starfighter with a new name?
EDIT: just checked and yes, it is. Interesting.
