Spin Tires! We roll like this in Mother Russia!

[undercovergeek]

My backlog is prohibitive though...

that sounds quite painful

[Staggerwing]

There's this stuff you can take for that. It's available in powder or pill form but you shouldn't leave the house w/out extra underwear for at least 8 hours after a dose, just in case...

I dunno, this looks sort of fun for only 10 clams.  And it's early access, so more features are planned, right?  I think it's worth a look.

+1 I'm very tempted.

I'm just worried where it might get like Take On Helicopters.

I know a few people liked it - maybe a lot - but I found it rather bland and the missions were just "there"...nothing really inspiring tbh.

I didn't get too far into TOH, so I could be a bit overly harsh there

Oh my god!!!!!

I just stopped playing ToH. Easily, the worst mission design I've ever seen.

I just performed my first successful winching operation to get a vehicle out of the mud.

Jarhead is right. You need to be interested in the subject matter to like this game. Everyone else would just find this boring.

I used to go "muddin" off-road after work, in the wee hours of the morning, with some friends.  Found the edge of some mysterious gov't location with huge fences possessing dire trespassing warnings, running right to the edge of the Missouri River.  Even had some heavily tinted and unmarked car chase us out of some old cemetery near one odd looking facility in a clearing there at 5 AM.   ???
But we mostly got very hammered and occasionally stuck in some nasty situations requiring serious winching.  To me, it was just a moving party, but a couple of them took it quite seriously.  You would have to, with the investments they put into their trucks. ;D

[jomni]

Just learned another new trick.  Rocks are bad.  And most especially the big rocks which can embed themselves under deep mud.  Your truck can easily get stuck on a strategically paced rock that you can't see, in narrow passages and deep mud.  Some trucks can carry a crane attachment.  You can use the crane to move the rocks out of the way.  O0

Wonder why there are paths not touched by vehicles?  The ones between trees and bushes?  Not only is there little space to move, the ground can be soft where big and heavy vehicles would easily sink and get stuck.

I saw Spintires this weekend, too, and put it on the wishlist, but no way am I paying early access for this (even at only $10).

Still, I can hear some interesting strategic development going on. First, send a lightweight capable scout to mark out problems, then send problem solvers, then send the actual transport.

[JudgeDredd]

Well $10 is about £7 - but that's not the price I saw on Steam...the price I saw was £19.99 which is more like $30.

I may well have sprung £7 for it!

In Soviet Russia, tires spin you!

No, wait a minute. That's physics, not Soviet Russia.
