So I'm very interested in gaming with like-minded people who also have powerful gaming rigs and connection set up. The purpose of this thread is to start a community whereby all new games that are released will be tested by us through multiplayer.

The purpose of this community is to play new games together from the beginning, test them and play them in unofficial servers or VPN as they statistically have more players than official servers. It is a community for us to adventure new games together without the hassle of searching for new communities again and again. When we are ready we will proceed with Whatsapp grouping and then teh tarik gaming session once we are fuly established!

I'm on alienware x51 R2 from dell.

My current games I'm playing:
- Shadows: Heretic Kingdom (Top-Down Action RPG)
- Assasin Creed Unity (3rd person Action-Adventure)
- Legend of Grimrock 2 (Indie puzzle/RPG)
- Ryse Son of Rome (3rd person Action-Adventure)
- The witcher 2 (3rd person RPG)

Neosage: Review of the month!

Neosage — Mon, 01 Dec 2014 16:55:07 +0800

I have set up my alienware, streamyx and sony vegas pro finally after 7 months of working for the first job year of my life.

Since all the requirements necessary for me to engage in monthly review of hardcore games are finally geared up, it is time to begin our game exploration with the first not so famous title

THE FOREST ===> http://survivetheforest.com/

News:
This game is a still in development game so it is fresh of the box each time they update (Next is apparently tommorow). The recent releases to this game updates now incorporate multiplayer but haven't got the chance to test it yet. I HOPE I GET TO TEST IT WITH MALAYSIAN USERS! WUHOO!

(Once I learn to port forward and host a game I will post the server ip address for all malaysians to join. For now, you can Virtual LAN party with tunngle and hamachi for its multiplayer content as per usual)

Introduction:
You crash during your flight transit with a companion child (to which the game does not explain your relationship with other than he clings to you while he sleeps in the plane). Upon waking, you find a half naked tribal outfitted man carrying the child away from you as you collapse.

After waking the second time, the game begins. Now you have to survive a forest of which you know little of (and with each update, the forest becomes less and less known) with the tools and items you find around the plane and within the forest. You must hunt for food, build a fire, rest in a self-made shelter, stock up on resource, etc before night comes. As day turns into night, the Forest turns from a spring laden bustling forest to a creepy hollow night where bands of unknown creatures lurk. Upon your survival journey you will come across strange and disturbing things from background weird noises and clicks to severed and hanging bodies of your ex-flightmates to man-eating creatures that look Human but have no genitals and their eyes glow yellow...

Make no mistake, you will never know what you come across as some of them run away from you, some are passive and not affected by you while others react to you according to your actions. Kill one and the rest may run away, some may begin encircling you in the most horrifying way possible with quick sneaky jerks, others may call backup, and some will dash towards you, leaping with a groan grabbing any chunk of meat off of you if possible. The main inhabitants of the forest are these humanoid creatures called cannibals and you may catch some eating another human 'if you're lucky'. No one has a clue as to the backdrop of the story of these cannibals. All we know is they group in tribes, place bloody effigies across the forest "with severed body parts" of what they kill or eat (some will be on fire), some wear these things on them which makes them scarier...

To survive, you must make use of a survival handbook that lets you place blueprints of structures. tools and traps on the ground before you proceed to build them with the items necessary. You must gather food, resource and weapons to arm yourself against this flesh eating tribals and survive for as long as you can. Although ultimately, the longer you survive, the harder the game becomes with more cannibals roaming the lands, and harder creatures popping up. The cannibals also look for signs of fire and come closer to one near their travelling vicinity.
Well at least you can call your friends for help now...

The best thing about this game:

I have often caught myself just staring on the screen rather than playing this game. The graphics, ambient occlusion, freakishly realistic lighting and texture are none that I have seen before. The realism of the graphics detail makes this game all the more scary because it feels more real. Trees break in real small pieces before they tumble and fall, the moonlight shooting through the trees actually pass thru miniscule holes between leaves before flaring out in each hole (much like the effect light has in real life) and touching the round with very sharp shadow. The lines of the light can be seen easily and intricately as it moves along with the moon as time passes. The water even reflects light from the fire near you which is reflecting from your axe at night. The light dances on the stone sharply and precisely as fire burns too. Its exceptional graphics is seriously this game's highpoint.

It's free roam survival with an abundant crafting list of items, tools, structures, food, etc. Basically all you would need to survive in a place without civilization. The game merges the survival aspects with today's indie build and craft games. This might later lead to Co-Op village mode much like minecraft with seriously better graphics and way more intense gameplay.

For such a high powered game, it comes in a neat less than 1gb space. You can dl it in torrents or buy the game to support the developers. It will pretty soon be incorporated to Steam.

Summary:

The Forest, an upcoming High-End Multiplayer Survival Horror Game is a must try for all survival, horror and FPS Build and craft game fans. Its pure genius of merging a lot of the functional game genre and functions together in one game makes this fresh unique game one of a kind!

Medical Marijuana

Neosage — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:37:49 +0800

I would like a serious no judgement debate on the effects of legalization of medical marijuana, I repeat "MEDICAL" marijuana in Malaysia.

In a doctor's point of view, every too often, a clinical eye examination of veterans or people above the age of 50 often results in the diagnosis of Glaucoma. Glaucoma has too many similar clinical symptoms to a few other veteran eye diseases. Some diagnostician regard Glaucoma as an old age disease that is common.

Funny thing about glaucoma is it is preventable through ingestion of marijuana but only "BEFORE THE CLINICAL SYMPTOM OCCURS" which is blindness.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1772142/

My father is diagnosed with 20% Glaucoma and hes known for his hot temper to boot. Cannabis is a known depressant also famous for its calming and anti-emetic effect. As a medical professional and also trying various treatments for my father's glaucoma diagnosis, I have come to the conclusion the best treatment for my now 70+ year old dad would be medical marijuana. He's slowly losing his eyesight and he deserves some happiness in his life now that he is in the golden years of life where people suppose to reap the rewards and enjoy life till the end.

This, I feel would go the same for you folks out there who might experience similar situations. I am against misuse of drugs but in the medical point of view, we use drugs all the time. Hence why I believe, it is time we as a nation make a raw challenge to the question of the prohibition of drugs versus the freedom of human life and rights.

This debate will be the ground for facts for everyone wanting to know the truth of the matter:
- Provide your facts with links wherever possible
- Avoid personal attacks at all cost, argumentative towards an opposing point is acceptable
- Provide honest life experiences but avoid metaphorical or metaphysical relations
- Pseudoscience is a liability we all face so I won't judge until proof is questionable

In your opinion:

if all drugs have the overdose and maximum threshold efficacy level then anything we ingest in high concentration can be a drug when it causes biological effects, that includes all allopathic therapy or the entire medical drug prescription. How can we say legally that medically any drug is not usable based on the dynamic hormonal structure of our bodies, pathological developments and age/time?

How is marijuana not a medical drug? Other than treatment of glaucoma, marijuana is also known to treat severely dyslexic individuals. Their symptoms are hyperactive stimulation of nerve nodules to create excessive impulses to the brain causing them speech impairment such as excessive stuttering and twitching. Cannabinoids depresses these nerve stimulations which is the same effect that causes the calm sensation when in experimented euphoric states under its influence.

In all honesty, I wish in no way to alter the entire perception of your way of life, simply the freedom of perception. Your principles should be your own choice so that you may respect the choice of others because you have one too - Neosage
