Bay 12 Games Forum

This page makes me think a new Texas Hold 'em is coming. The "Coming soon" and the "1" are quite telling.

The first one was an interesting thing, and I'm sure Telltale has made loads of improvements on this one. It'll be fun.

All this collaboration with the companies makes me wonder if one day there'll be a huge "WHOOMP!" sound as Telltale disappears and Valve suddenly comes out with an adventure games division or just loads of people that know how to make them.

I just started a MDEn, the newest Nemelex Choice, as that seems actually winnable. After this game ends, one way or another, I'll concentrate on bringing Eli down, and/or Blacksmiths over LostArtBrewing in the high scores.

Wish me luck.

And oh yeah, we're doing good, many victories, dozens of runes and high scores, hundreds of uniques and ghosts, thousands of points and millions of turns. Also, the score of the Bay12 teams combined would make the second place in the clan list, that tells how insanely good and devoted the best players are.

Minecraft! On Skype! Would be greaaat fun.

Not free though, but it would be to suppport a poor (not anymore) Swedish indie dev.

PC Gamer posted it's huge interview, it's in two parts: one and two

There's a lot of interesting stuff in there, but the part I found most intriguing was this:

And we have guys who read Something Awful, because we try to read TF threads on every forum we can find, basically.

Dun dun dun, it might be that Valve has been listening to us all along. And as they have even invited Toady over, it seems like a fair chance. Soooo,

Hi TF2 Team!  You're doing good and your plan of making happy customers has worked really well with me! Tell Gabe and Robin I said hi, and that one Finnish guy too.

*cough*

Oh yeah, the interview happened on the 8th of August and Robin thought they could get the update out this month or just a bit over that. We might not need to wait for September 31st after all!

Anyway, I can't seem to get past the early game. It's kind of boring playing through the start over and over  again, leading to me not paying attention as much as I should, leading to having to start over again. A vicious cycle of really stupid deaths.

I had that happen to me too before the tournament. I broke it by playing a good character overly safe. Throwing rocks and weapons at everything before they got to me. Always drinking a potion or teleporting away when there was even a small chance to die. Never staying in a branch or level too long when there was something that could kill me.

Then when I started feeling pretty good about my character, I broke this rule and went after Nergalle in Crypt with a shining new axe of holy wrath. So I died.

Hey, congrats tinymouse on the first Bay12 Sprint win and Demos for the sweet streak! And Baruk for an unlikely escape.

I seem to be having luck with the combo characters. My Naga Monk died at 40 000 points and just now I had a Vampire Gladiator that just refused to die until I pulled out all the stops. I just rushed through blindly the early game, found the Temple, chose Xom for the hell of it, found a dagger of distortion and started flailing everything with it, then started to ascend stairs as fast possible with the aim to reach Slime and a Jiyva altar. I actually did reach Slime, though I died shortly after with 5000 points. Melee Vampires that keep their blood levels way up are actually scarily effective, I even took two ghosts down on the way.

Holy damn, didn't except getting this far with a Naga Monk, though I played it safe with Chei, using the Naga's natural slowness to build up piety before throwing on ponderous armor. Then I cleared a few levels and kept finding armor, lastly even a naga barding. I'm now wearing all 5 possible ponderous armors and the stat boost is huge. Strength 29 and Dexterity 31 on a XL:10 character, pretty nice.

I'm way past the score to beat, but I hope I'll get far. Finally a great Cheibriadonian!

Yep, DF is pretty known in Finland. I've said it before, but a stranger actually interrupted a discussion I was having with a friend only to ask if we were talking of Dwarf Fortress. Which we were.

And on another occasion, after watching a movie with a group of six people, someone mentioned DF and it turned out every person knew the game from different sources.


Oh cool, Dwarfish actually has the words to write my last name. So, you can call me Eshimid from now on. And if we end up in the same fortress and get to first name terms, Lashėd is pretty close to that. Lashėd Eshimid.
