FTL and a new Valve title.
Earlier this week I managed to complete FTL on hard mode, was quite an experience. But what does FTL have to do with rumors about a new Valve title? Instead of trying to paraphrase and steal the work of another site I'll link to it directly.

Could Valve be looking to move in on the space mmo market? Who knows! What I do know is that I'm quite excited for this and can't wait to hear more. While GamingBolt says that this only a rumor, I doubt it's anything less than Valve's next big game judging by all the work you can see being put into it from the concept art.

Babel Rising and War of the Roses
I managed to get past the level I was having trouble with the day after I made my last post. To keep things short so I can move on to my next topic I will describe the next three levels as short as possible: tedious, repetitive, boring, and uninstalled.
Next.
War of the Roses is a medieval war game published by the same people who brought you Mount and Blade. The game is basically a copy of the multiplayer gameplay from Mount and Blade ported over into a new engine as a stand alone game. The game has also taken a note from the Call of Duty franchise, the select and create class menus look like they have been freshly ripped from Modern Warfare. The game boasts two modes, conquest and team deathmatch. Team deathmatch is self explanatory for anyone familiar with online video games. For those not familiar, Team deathmatch pits two teams against each other and the first to reach a preset number of kills is the winner. Conquest is also simple, each map has an odd number of points to capture, holding more points than the enemy team fills your meter, hold points and fill your side of the bar to win the match.
There are about five classes to play as and three custom slots to make your own classes with. Custom classes are the core of this game since you can easily make a custom class that would wipe the floor with any of the five default classes. Arrows and bolts regenerate over time so archers never have to worry about running out of ammo for too long. melee is still a game of picking your swing direction and block direction. There is about seven maps to play on.
I would love to make a recording of myself playing the game, unfortunately my computer can just barely run the game as is. However it DOES run it smoothly enough to play so I am one happy camper. My video card is an old Nvidia 8800 GT and the minimum recommended by the game is Nvidia GeForce 9800/AMD Radeon 4830 My CPU is an E4600 2.40Ghz and the second core is overclocked to 3.20Ghz. Of course, I would never recommend buying a game if you do not meet the minimum requirements, even if the game has been running smoothly for me does not mean you will get the same results, good luck!
A tip before I go, Press V to flip down the visor on your helmet to protect your face, yes this matters in the game as attacks do damage based on where they hit, even your face.
Aim for the jugular.
