    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    <strong>[ Review ]</strong>

    <p>Every once in a while, we get a game that stands above all othes in its genre. Today, that game is Ship Simulator EXTREMES and <a href="http://www.tacticularcancer.com/content.php?id=67">we give it a whirl</a> :</p><blockquote><p>I click next and get presented with the weather screen. Our options here are pretty intense. You can choose from a number of presets like "Clear Sky" (STALKER lol) or "Windy". Because I'm pretty intense, I decide to forgo the preselects and go with a custom setup. </p><p>I make the temperature a freezing -20 and set precipitation to its maximum right hand value: Hail.</p><p>Because this is X-TREME, we ramp it up with FOG as well.</p><p>And WIND.</p><p>Clouds I decided to leave on Nimbostratus, with middle clouds off and high clouds set to Cirrocumulus. Yeah, have you ever gone boating with Cirrocumulus high clouds? No. No I bet you haven't.</p><p>We were going to ship all right. We were going to ship in the X-TREMES.</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://www.tacticularcancer.com/content.php?id=67">Read what is perhaps</a> one of the most intense gaming experiences I have ever had in my entire gaming career. </p><br/><br/><strong>Read: </strong><a href="http://www.tacticularcancer.com/content.php?id=67">Taking the shipping experience to the X-TREME</a>

    was trying to hit the golden gate bridge with a tanker in one of the earlier ship simulator versions... had a similar experience... no explosions, no destruction, no superman trying to stop me

    i went back to flight sims for terrorist training purposes

    I love how enthusiastic this review is for what is very clearly a terrible game. The end was the best.

    Its' hilarious and ambiguous as hell. I still cant tell whether it's a backhanded compliment or just plain mockery.

    Since it's DU we are talking about, I weigh in on the mockery option.

    Yes, very clearly, very terrible...



    Also, the "review" is not getting funnier if you read XTERME 5 million times.

    I see the herp derp decline has finally hit TC head on. Let us make fun of quirky niche simulators and lament the abscence of explosions to keep our feeble little minds occupied.

    If you have an issue with me mentioning the name of a game in a review about that game, take it up with the creators of the game.
