Arma 3 Drops Beta Tag
Which means, its now released.
Also means its now full price of $59.95. When I brought the game back when it was alpha it was$39.95 $49.95 ( I forgot I paid for the Digital Delux edition )
This does mean that I will be buying almost all the DLC they release to make up for it as it was a steal at that price.
Impressions so far. This is by far the best Arma so far. Controls are slick, graphics are smooth and fast and the AI doesn't seem so cheap.
Since the last dev build I have had a massive increased in frame rate. The game ran well before, but now I have been hitting 120fps in flight over the main island. Could be the nvidia beta drivers I am running. Still get slowdown when smoke is around but slow down is 40fps.
While I am disappointed that the game hasn't launched with singleplayer there is plenty to do until up they release the first story mission which is in October.
Also the game comes with steam workshop so plenty of content to play. Not that I condone user made content as a replacement for official missions.

Mumble has replaced Teamspeak
There was a recent update to Teamspeak which added a 3rd party piece of software called Overwolf.
I personally didn't like the way this was handled as I don't trust Overwolf and its motives. So I have replaced Team Speak with the Open Source coms sotfware callled Mumble
Use the same server settings as Teamspeak to connect.

Homeworld: Shipbreakers no longer free to play
Instead its going to be a normal game. With no microtransactions besides dreaded DLC. ( Except Gearboxs DLC for Borderlands 2 was accually worth it ).
So yeah, we are getting another proper, homeworld. Hopefully they add singleplay story as well.

Alien Chest Burster
I love this stuff, more than CGI.
Why, Because you can't get this kind of reaction if your actors can't see whats going on
Only John Hurt knew what was going to happen in this scene, the actors just got a vage descrption that the thing would appear and it had teeth.
