Anyone has feedback on port royale 2?

It's like a slower version of Patrician. If you played Patrician you won't enjoy this

Correction: If you played Patrician and liked it you won't enjoy this.

People who like Patrician tend to dislike Port Royale and vice versa.

New suggestion: Fort Zombie

Classic zombie apocalypse. You claim a safehouse. Barricade it. Find food, weapons, armors, ammo and help other survivers escape. Pathfinding is horrible but it's a great game.

Yep. fantastic game. Was pretty rough on launch but they've fixed a lot of the problems and now its a lot of fun.

It's a bit laggy on my computer. It can run Crysis just fine but my computer can't endure the perfect graphics of Fort Zombie I guess.

Fuck triangles.  Seriously.  Never liked the suckers.

Exactly. It's just a damn triangle. Why the hell do I have to learn them if I'm going to be a... let's say a lawyer. This education system thing is pretty fucked. Seriously, does a lawyer need to know about trigonometry? In my country, they do. I wish I lived in somewhere else with a better education system.

Gearhead 1 & 2 has joinable factions, and is free.

The story of Gearhead 2 tends to be influenced by which faction you join.  The story is heavily influenced by which faction the game randomly generates as the Enemy faction (which can be most of the factions).

Warning: It won't play on Windows 7 computers, as far as I can tell.  It's one of the few things I miss about my old computer.

I don't believe you.  Mostly because it runs fine on my Win7 box.  And my Linux box.  Most trouble I ever had with the thing was it occasionally segfaulting during character creation.  I forget which (or both) OS it did that on, though.

Gearhead 1 didn't run on my windows XP

Wow. That's just... wrong.

... I tried to get into the roguelike genre, because I was somewhat tired of the possibilities (outside of combat) that the current version of DF offers. I'm a complete illiterate on this matters, but I had read about a game called ADOM and decided to try it out. After reading through the manual and actually creating a PC, though, I faced the sad truth... the combat seemed so bland to me, so void. "You hit and slay x, x misses you, you are losing blood!, you die". And I wondered, where could I find a roguelike with a combat system as superb as DF, but with more adventuring possibilities? Could anyone help me with this?

I understand what you mean. I first got into roguelikes because of DF and it's combat system. Combat is really realistic in DF but you don't have much chocies with adventuring. Unfortunately, there aren't much games with good combat system. Most of the roguelikes follow the "you attack. you miss. goblin hits you. you take 5 damage. you die" way. In some roguelikes you have HPs for each part of your body (like Cataclysm) but that's it. DF is the only game where you can destroy a random dude's sensory system.

I understand why you didn't like ADOM too. Roguelikes will get pretty boring after all that dungeon-crawling. In most roguelike games you just go x levels deep into a dungeon. You should try out different types of roguelikes. Unreal World's combat system is pretty good but there isn't much fightning in the game.

Spoiler: The guys who advocate The Game on TV also look like this. (click to show/hide)

That outfit should tell you all you need to know about the legitimacy of this as a relationship strategy.

Yup. These guys look like they have sex all the time

You just have to find a girl like yourself and become friends with her. These things take time (if you are not a one-night-stand type)

You shouldn't care much about what your friends say about your looks. A friend of mine told me that I look more handsome without my glasses but my ex-girlfriend told me my glasses make me look "like a philosopher". Which made me feel like "Is it a good thing?" and she said "Yes". Every person is different. A girl may like the intellectual look and another girl may like the badass look. Be certain, you will meet a girl who will like you and your looks. Personalities are lot more important in relationships though.

In a day which you don't have school/work, get up very early in the morning (like 6 AM) and take a walk in the streets or a forest if there is one at where you live. You won't regret it.
