Speaking of Dubai, something funny happened when you, Son Ryo and I were playing it. I was in DFM behind one of the named aces, when he countered, and I countered the counter, so it zoomed in on my machine gun like it does. Then mid-maneuver one of you blew up the ace and I was stuck in machine gun camera for the entire rest of the mission. xP

Ask me about joining a co-op partner's DFM on that mission and the game helpfully flying me into the ground. That one mission in co-op is oddly buggier than everything else in the game, go figure. also for what it's worth, putting in a re-record vote. You don't want to start a thread on the wrong foot. What platform you do it on is up to you.

That happened to me TWICE that session, once in the middle of a DFM and once just after finishing it. What a well-programmed feature...

I still have flashbacks to a multiplayer match on that map where one of my opponents literally just lured you into DFM then would fly a specific track between two buildings that would cause the pursuer to crash into the ground between them EVERY. TIME. Unfortunately this was at the point in the game's life when there was only one or two servers running at once so I had to put up with it if I wanted to play.

Speaking of Dash Rendar: it too over a year to get here but Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is available on Steam now for the first time ever. Now you too can experience the sheer existential joy that is being Dash Rendar.

Look, just sign the stupid petition. I've got stuff to do.
It also made its debut alongside a Star Wars Humble Bundle, for the record. It's at the top-tier for non-physical stuff, but still, that's just shy of a buck each for fifteen games at maximum (and then another twenty for a shirt if you want), so if you're the kind of weird person who owns Steam but has somehow resisted the siren call of the constant sales and avoided picking up most of the Star Wars games partly by accident, it'd be worth getting.

Or you could be patient and wait for another three months. I'm pretty sure "too new on Steam" isn't a factor in Star Wars games getting a deep discount for May the Fourth.



Unrelated to Dash Rendar, I had an idea for an emblem to make in another game the other day. It's not quite an exact replica, I had to skip some of details because of lack of layers and it could always use a bit more work, but behold:

Given his arrest record, Wes Scantlin being arrested for disorderly conduct around fighter jets would not be at all surprising. A change of pace from DUIs, yes, but not too surprising.

AC5:

1. The Unsung War sings a lot, making it a filthy liar.
2. The narrator (?) from Zero is a pervert.
3. Missile Alert! CAN YOU TAKE IT ALL AWAY? Yes<>No Missile Alert! Missile Alert! Come on kid, Missile Alert! say something Missile Alert! already.
4. The Chunnel will ensure that the south will rise again!
5. The American kestrel is the smallest and most common falcon in North America, and though not as strong a flyer as many other larger falcons, proper training and weight control by a falconer allows many American kestrels to become effective hunters of birds in the size range of sparrows and starlings, with occasional success against birds up to approximately twice their own weight.

They have the same English voice actor, so I'm not letting them off. Besides, Brett Thompson is a bum.

I did not know they were the same. The characters have such different voices! But then I guess that's the reason for a good VA. I have some great fan theories about why Genette's voice/character completely changed for ACX, but we'll get there when we get there.

Well obviously but who has time for the boring practical explanations? I'm thinking more like he got accused of leaking classified stuff and had to go undercover for a while or same thing, but for Brett Thompson and he killed Genette and assumed his identity

Speaking of Ace Combats not directly related to the one with a currently-active LP thread, good news! I found out why my microphone wasn't working, so I'll be good for co-commentary on 5/Assault Horizon and/or finally getting around to LPing HAWX.


The gist of it is I'm an idiot. Turns out there's a jack on the rear of my computer which is near-identical in color to the microphone jack, is easier to reach than the microphone jack due to my current desk setup, but is not actually the microphone jack.

But seriously though, I actually need a thread title for Ace Combat 5, and as much as I'm enamored with "Donald Trump's America Simulator" for what a loving amazing long bomb joke it is, it's just not gonna fly, so I'm trying the floor open to submissions in case anyone has a funnier one they'd like to throw out there.

Me llamo Sarah Brandolino, the eighth Castilian of this magnificent marriage.
The only thing I can be sure of at this hour of watching anime non-stop is that the thread title needs to work the phrase "take it all away" in. I don't mean use that entire phrase but it could be like

...took all my away in ACE COMBAT 5: THE UNSUNG WAR

... denotes something I can't think of.

I had to post after getting a notice on my skype-o-phone.

e

The Yukes took all my democracy away in ACE COMBAT 5: THE UNSUNG WAR
As a demon, Ace Combat 5 uses its unsung war to take it all away
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War - This one won't be taken away <- the other thread just stop out of nowhere right?

I just feel it has to be there because it's to AC5 what what's-that-song is to Top Gun.
