  1. If I had to pick one thing it would be the audio. Someone really did an amazing job here. I've noticed so much attention to detail in the audio. For example, if you're carrying lots of water you can hear it splashing around. The sounds really make the game for me.

    That would be Glenn Jamison and Dave Chan. They're pretty amazing! As is the rest of the team, I think ;)

    This is one of my favourite threads to come back to. Thanks to everyone for sharing, and welcome to our new members!

  2. More for humor than anything, but:

    Don't go to buy water the weekend before a hurricane is coming.

    There won't be any.

    Ask me how I know.

    Of all the stuff I have, and all the gear, and preparation and skills I have, and readiness my family espouses, WATER is the one thing we probably don't have enough of.

    DUMB mistake.

    So with Karla coming for possible landfall this Monday AM, I went to the store to get 10+ gallons of water, and there's not that much water in my entire city.

    Apparently everyone in FL forgot what storms are like in this 10 year lull and lost their minds.

    Thanks - T

    This is actually a good tip. I used to live on the southeastern coast of NC, and hurricane preparation in that area (and certainly all along the southern east coast) is no joke. We always kept a stash of water and batteries, and stocked up on non-perishables when hurricane season started. Good to fill up the tank in your car before a hurricane too -- We went about two weeks without being able to get to a gas station after one bad hurricane...Maybe Bertha or Fran. Came in handy having that gas in the tank when we ran out of supplies; recovery time in the area was supposed to be ~ 2 weeks but took longer.

  3. 64 degrees, wow it sure gets hot up there in Canada eh? 8-)

    Nice screens in that album, lots of wallpaper material for sure. Do you have that one you use for the desktop in HD without the text?

    Please excuse my Fahrenheit ;) I moved to Canada a couple of years ago...I'm Celsius in public, but Fahrenheit in my brain.

    I couldn't find the file for my desktop on my PC, but I did manage to dig up the link from the user that shared it in our reddit sub.

    It's just a 4K shot of the main menu screen, which is pretty cool. If you've never taken a minute or two to watch it, it cycles through day and night as well as a couple of weather patterns. It's quite lovely =)
