Patch v3251 open thread

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

Now that the patch is out, and you have had some time to play around with it, what are your impressions? Are you happy with the patch, disappointed, or a little of both? Are there any changes that didn’t make it into the patch that you might still like to see in the [...]

Real life open thread

Monday, May 21st, 2007

This is off-topic, but so be it. We only need to do this once!
Grokmoo and I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park today. I graduated with a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Astronomy, while Grokmoo graduated with BSs in Physics, Math, and Astronomy (freaking overachiever). Needless to [...]

Pre-patch jitters open thread

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

Tis an open thread like every other! Feel free to talk about anything on your mind, though I presume that many people are going to particularly want to talk about the (apparently) imminent patch. Oh, and we haven’t announced this explicitly yet, so here it is: GPG has canceled development on the DirectX [...]

An easier way to link Supreme Commander replays

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Okay, as you may be aware, my previous attempt at this failed. But my current attempt is a success! I’ve had to modify the script so that it downloads the replays to this site’s server and creates the link to there, but it works! Basically, you put in a replay:-style link (the [...]

Neutrality and a plea for differing viewpoints

Monday, May 14th, 2007

I am biased. I have my own opinions, some of which are rather strong (exhibit A: the recent anti-rush rants). But Supreme Commander Talk itself is neutral. I suppose that sounds kind of silly, since what is the site if not for its creators, but dammit, I’m the creator, and it’s neutral [...]

An easier way to link Supreme Commander replays

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

I’ve created a quick-and-dirty converter that transforms GPGnet-specific links of the form replay:… into general HTTP links that can be accessed from any web browser anywhere. This isn’t so helpful on GPGnet itself because replay: links function just fine within the client, but it’s very useful for, say, linking to a specific replay in [...]

Last day of classes open thread

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Hey everyone, what’s on your mind Supreme Commander-wise? This is an open thread like any other. Oh, and today is the last day of college classes for Grokmoo and I — graduation in less than two weeks! Huzzah, almost out of here.
Anyway, here’s a topic of discussion if you can’t think of [...]

Which types of games do you like playing?

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

One thing I’m realizing as I read the blogs here is that we have a wide variety of different players. Grokmoo and I mainly come from the competitive multiplayer standpoint, but judging from the comments, it seems that a lot of our readers may have a different focus, and we’d like to put up [...]

Crazy weekend open thread

Saturday, May 5th, 2007

This is an open thread just like all the others, and hopefully, the last open thread before the patch. I had a feeling that the patch was coming out last week, but alas, I was wrong. Maybe this week’s the charm? Oh, and here’s an issue we need to resolve once and [...]

Kudos to the GPG forum moderators

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

We’re always quick to criticize when something goes wrong, but not so quick to give praise where it is due. Consider this the exception. A week and a half ago, controversy erupted over threads being deleted from the forums. Folks fled the official forum for other fansites, including this one, where they [...]
