Spintires - The Ultimate Off-Road Challenge in Kickstarter Games Sins Forums

This is one that I highly recommend. The working beta is an absolute blast with it's terrain deformation and the effects that has on your vehicle's ability to maneuver (or move!) There is tire deformation, vehicle chassis flexation as well as the vehicle simulation itself. Pretty neat package overall and it's only going to get better as they clearly list out many of the game-play features they will be adding. There is also an older technology demo which features some early concept

[quote who="kryo" reply="44" id="3356526"]At best, it'll still be at least somewhat inferior to casting or milling.[/quote] From what I have seen on most of the metal 3d printed prototypes I've managed to work with is that they are slightly weaker than heat treated 17-4 SST H-900 (41-46 HRC) in that they will have after heat treat a 38-40 HRC min. For most applications this difference in HRC is a non-issue, though I can certainly imagine situations where it would not be ideal.

burtakal, you should be able to right click on the avatar, save it to a location on your computer. Then in your account options here on the site you should either be able to upload it or, having uploaded it to a separate site ( www.imageshack.us ) be able to link it within your profile. Let me know if you need some additional help and i can post a step by step guide with pictures.

Haven't seen this yet and probably will wait until it comes out on rentable media. Looks interesting at least. From the previews it feels fairly familiar, though I'm not sure if the movie plays out differently from what can be guessed from the trailer.
