No Man's Sky

I want a tape deck for my spaceship. I need some kickass tunes to fly around with.

That sounds like a mod opportunity there. Get into your ship, put in 65daysofstatic, Disturbed, The Living Tombstone, Aviators, or maybe something like Owl City or Malukah, and cruise the stars listening to nice music.

I was thinking something more like this

The mod thing does bring up a question though, get this for PS 4 or hold out for PC because I get the feeling this will be one hell of a game to mod with.

I always preferred video game music from games about jets, for some reason:

See, If you're going to use a song used in Eva, you have to also use Gap of Dream, even if only for thematic purposes.

What, not this beautiful work of art?:

This is the only dogfighting music I'll need.

I prefer this version, and I don't even like Country.

This is basically going to be playing 24/7 for me.

I'll most likely be playing my own mix of sci-fi music: a mix of music from Mass Effect, Blade Runner, Stargate Universe and random "sci-fi sounding" songs.

Heh, I'd copy Zephram Cochran and play Magic Carpet Ride. Still not getting this one, but I liked the topic of music to play while driving a starship.

Well, if a mod to get a music player for your ships does crop up, I'll probably be playing something along the lines of this:

You know, I'm probably just going to call my first ship Arin Hanson's Magic Grump Bus, and she'll be paired with such vessels as Jon Jafari's Parrot Finding Boat, Danny Avidan's Big McLovin'-Mobile, Ross O'Donovan's Irish Steam Train, Suzy Hanson's Lovey Lady Car, and Barry Kramer's Undying Pimp Hand. Someone else can take Normandy and Normandy SR-2.

And yes, they'll all be Game Grumps references.

I think a good name, if we're still doing this, would be Gunstar, and I'll play this when I'm shooting things:

Fun fun fun!

Seems fine to me, as long as:

1. You get sensors that give you at least a semi-decent picture of a world without having to land on it

2. The worlds without life still have *interesting* stuff, in terms of weather and geology

It almost seems to me that they are trying to make the game more like an actual universe than a fun game. Not sure how to feel about that.

Well... of the planets we know about, how many of them have interesting stuff on them? Us and Venus as far as I know.

That's what I mean. This is the whole realism vs. entertainment thing.

Isn't that what the space battles are for?

True. Guess we'll wait and see.

I mean, the game's supposed to put you in the shoes of an interstellar explorer, right? You're not going to make a universe-shaking discovery like an advanced civilization every day, are you? It sounds like the universe will be more like Spaceman Spiff than Star Trek in population density.

Also true. I only meant that if players spend all of their time travelling from wasteland to wasteland, the game would get boring pretty fast. But I hope I'm wrong.

10% of planets have life. 10% of life-bearing planets have "advanced" life. 1% of planets have "advanced" life.

To quote the devblog linked on page 3:

Now, lets do a little math:

1% x 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 = 1.84467441e^17

1% is a fucking massive number.
