38 on heavy. Got ubered by a medic and managed to break a hopeless stalemate at the last cap point.


Also in the news:

Does the Third Degree (Pyro Axe) have ANY downsides compared to the basic  axe?

A MMO that is NOT ripping everything off WoW (i'd say everquest but we all know the most popuar MMORPG) is worthy of a try IMO.

If only my PC weren't a heap of trash.
Meh.

Flatspace. While you don't get to have a whole lot of followers unless you get a carrer. (Something that is IMO nearly impossible)

However dying horribly just happens every several minutes no matter how hard you try.

One enemy happened to have high tech homing missiles?
Bam you're DEAD.
Random shot damaged your engine/reactor?
You're dead (not quite but usually you're dead meat at this point unless you have someone with skill in maitenance (or a robot) and the attacker decides to stop shooting at you.
You accidentaly hit/bumped any vessel docnig at the station?
All station turrets open fire at you and the station itself sends around 10 fighters to kill you for good.

It's a VERY brutal and unforgiving game.

Oh  and did i mention it has permadeath?
Happily you can turn it off...

How much blood would be necessary to contaminate a water supply? If every dwarf was a vampire would they still suck each other dry? Can dwarves drinking contaminated water even become vampires in fortress mode?

Vampires don't suck blod from other vampires.
Yes dorfs turn into vampires by drinking from contaminated wells in fortress mode.
I don't know how much vampire blood is needed but i'd guess all you need is a single splatter.
You can mince in a whole vampire with serrated disks tho.

While the topic is about breeding pokemon.

Could anyone explain me the reason behind it?

Obviously to breed pokemon you need a male and female of the same pokemon (with some slight exeptions like Miltank-Tauros ETC.)
You get an egg that later hatches into a lvl 5 pokemon of the same race as its parent(s).

Could anyone explain me why should i care about breeding the darn things if i obviously had to catch both male and female of the same race beforehand? Why not use the potential daddy/mommy pokemon and riase it instead?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Steel substitute
« on: June 28, 2012, 07:54:07 pm »
Ok best substitute for Steel?
Candy.

If you don't want to use candy then it's either bronze or iron.

Shield material does NOT matter when blocking.
A wooden shield will be as good at blocking as a Steel one.
HOWEVER.
Sometimes dwarves with shields will attempt to shield bash the enemy and then the weight of the shield matters a lot so making shields out of heavier materials is not totally foolish since a artifact platinium shield can cave chests in.

Hah i was almost sure the trolls at valve decided to nerf pyro for the Pyro "update".

I liked the franshise.
Bought a N64 just to play coloseum and Pokemon Red
Caught Mewtwo in GBC Red (played on a N64).
Beat the Coloseum with m very own caught pokemon.

Then i turned 14 and moved on to other things.

later i tried against people online and learns only one thing.

The older pokemon fans i saw are often minmaxing douchebags with hillarious builds no standard pokemon team can even dent.
Once someone had a Magikarp oneshoting everything i had after a short setup i pretty much couldn't prevent nless i had just the right team.
I so gave up and went back to playing TF2 and Navyfield.

3055
So wait... you use the roasted items that drop... and make a crate out of them?
And of course the crate needs a key right?

Oh valve you effing troll.

3056
Now they will implement the guard dog and make a "meet the" for it 6 years later.

3057
Dun dun dunnnnn.

Anyway.

Brony Pyro - The landscape seems to be modelled after blizzards secret "unicorn" level rather than FiM. It's WAY too pastel to be based on FiM. But then again blizzards secret level had some homages to FiM so it's not entirely unrelated.

Female Pyro - It's a running joke at this point but there are several hints that he might be female... but personally i just hear a guy under this mask.

I had a self imposed challenge in Fallout 2 not long ago.

The Challenge was:
Be as violent as rationally possible (no spontanous town exterminations... cept for vault city since they're arseholes) without using ANY weapons.

Turns out a thought out brawler Chosen One is actually ridiculously strong in lategame.
On the oil rig i just ran around and punched everyone in the right arm cripling it and making their awesome energy weapons USELESS.

All thanks to the following perks:

HtHEvade (AC bonus equal to 1/12 of your unarmed skill)
ExtraHtHAttacks (2 AP for a punch)
Slayer (100% Criticalllls)
Tag! (grinded up my Unarmed skill to 150% and used tag on it giving me 300% unarmed)

I'd take "Better Criticals" too but i made Perception my dump stat but in hindsight i don't think i really needed the 8 (and later 10) luck and Better Criticals would make the game even more lulzy  as a punch in the head or eye could instakill everything.

Needless to say... i killed King Arthurs Knights with this character.
Barely survived the first salvo but as more and more arms were snapped and heads bashed their damage per turn dwindled.

No chance in taking on the final boss alone tho. Even insane AC can't save you from his burst gun.

I like how it works in Mount & Blade.

There are several pretty bad items like butchering knives but in general nothing is obviously best.
And the game has no BS enchants that make this bastard sword a milion times better that that bastard sword.
One might be dull while the other is masterwork but with a bit of skill you can still bash the brains in and out of people with a non masterwork sword making Masterworks more of a status symbol for the filthy rich and/or lucky.

It's probably one of the reasons i disliked "Native expansion" since everything the dark knights have is straight up best.

Simply put:
Unless you play on 1/4th damage masterworks won't save you and i like it.

Well Interstate is kinda similar to carmageddon so that's one thing to look into.

Twisted metal is also similar (armed cars).

Hard Truck: Apocalypse (some say it's terrible but i disagree) Heavily armed trucks armed with everything from shotguns and machineguns to plasma cannons and missiles.
