Bay 12 Games Forum

Heh, it turns out that Valve actually asked Notch over to hire him, if my Swedish serves me correctly:

Valve blev så imponerade av Markus Persson att de bjöd över honom till USA för ett möte nyligen. På samma resa blev han också bjuden till Bungie, bolaget bakom Halo-spelen.

– Jag får inte berätta vad vi pratade om, men Valve var nog mest intresserade av att rekrytera mig. Det var smickrande, men jag var inte intresserad.

Strange how he didn't mention that in his blog or Twitter.

Arbglblgl! Wow, just wow. I'd like to join the people with exploded heads, but I think there's enough blood and fragments on the walls already.

Has Notch said anything about this in his blog yet? I'm pretty sure a lot of people would find this equally amazing.

Off to try this on some old forts of mine.

Hey, a great comic, thanks for sharing . I didn't know they exist.

Well the first came out only some hours ago, so no wonder 

Nice comic. And I think I would say that even if I hadn't played the game yet. And then it would get me super pumped about the game.


In other news, I noticed that the non-discounted price for Left 4 Dead 2 is now 20$/€, which is pretty damn low. If they put a discount on when Sacrifice hits (as they probably will), it'll be absolutely, ridiculously, unavoidably low.

Wait, I don't think I've used my identification ability on the Reactor. Or the Elemental Armor. If I have time for only one, I'll check out the armor.

Cool! Pictures! Cool! Two-year anniversary! Cool! Fate point I forgot about!

Now to come up with a cool action. I guess I'll default to helping others.

I help Jay Kayell with the armor and shape it with my tools to make it suit him better.


Ooh, we're nearing 100 000 views.

Before we forget with time and have "ghost teams" created like a few of those that are listed but didn't played during the tourney, should we remove the team/captain entries now from the rcfiles , or wait a few days in case there are stats being built ?

I'll let mine hang for some time at least.


Nice job making those lists Akhier! I'll add the exclusive Bay12 ones to the OP.

Absolutely humongous thanks to all the players! There was lots of fun to be had, many triumphant moments shared in the thread and all around great team spirit. I would've never expected a 33 player turn-up in the tournament when I started the thread. You all did great, even if the opposition was way stronger this year.

Some final congratulations especially to the first time victors (myself included, whee), but also a big one to those who've managed the feat before. And not forgetting those that got their first rune and those that managed to get their best games in the tournament.


A special mention to Demos AKA Dr. Feelgood. With an all-rune win and two others in a streak, he got more points than anyone else from Bay12 and thus is rightfully the 2010 Bay12 Crawl Champion!

The second place goes to Blyxx, 190 points behind Demos!

Aand the third place to tinymouse! Woo, nicely done all!

--------

I think we all had our fair share of Crawl this month and a break might be inevitable, but I'm sure Bay12 will be participating again next year, I already have some ideas on new kinds of teams.

Go Bay12!



^{I'll leave the thread open for a few more days if there's someone who wants to have a say.}

P.S. This thread became the 17th biggest thread in Other games! 1111 replies in 6 weeks. Wow.

Nice one Frumple!

My own SpEn met a bitter end (caused by overconfidence yielded from their extreme power and some plain old stupidity), but I'm happy you made it through! Also, starting in the university is making me have a lot less time to play, but there aren't many days left of the tournament either. Eli has been working hard on making sure no one knocks him down from the list, but we might have a chance to overtake his clan. I'll keep beating some low scores, not trying to knock his off. At least every score will be another 5 points.

Though I wish I had just ditched Nemelex for Jiyva in the SpEn game and just gotten the 50 points from the rune. But that's the spirit of the game, no second chances.
