Bay 12 Games Forum

Game i wish existed: MegaMan Legends 3, full stop. Complete with Roll/Tron dating sim.

The reason I don't think it goes in other games is because it's a discussion about the games themselves, playing the games, whatever strikes your fancy. And also, the tabletop games thread is here too.

Personally, I play Magic the Gathering; mostly EDH/Commander and Tiny Leaders. I'm the kinda guy who has more fun building and Tiny Leaders is fun for me because it adds an extra layer to think about, the CMC *converted mana costs, of any cards in the deck have to be 3 or less, including your commander.

I'm also into just collecting cards I find interesting or fun. As maybe an added influence, maybe as a fan of Warhammer 40k, I have a natural calling for human creature types, so the 2 decks I'm running now are mostly White (not racism) Humans with support from maybe neutral Artifact creatures or other types of white creatures, like angels or spirits. Maybe its just the awesomeness of buffed humans facing off against demons and eldrazi and sometimes winning outright.

My white commander deck was borne out of the mono-white commander 2014 set and the red/white commander 2014 set. This one is actually a combo of all white creatures with a little red, mostly human, but includes Kor, Cats, Human, Angels, Giants and Spirits. Kinda the whole "the united races of good stand against the great evil" thing. Also includes Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Nahiri, the Lithomancer, 2 heroes to help spawn weenies and basically act as micro tanks cuz an opponents not just going to let you spawn free tokens every turn. The commander for this deck is Gisela, Blade of the Goldnight cuz sources dealing double damage to opponents is awesome and opponents sources doing half damage to you is also awesome.

The tiny leaders I have is custom built with some leftovers and is majorly human focused. Human soldiers mainly with human cleric support and various ways to add counters and spawn tokens. The commander for this one is Mikaeus, the Lunarch cuz putting 1/1 counters on everyone every other turn is cool, even cooler with Kytheon/Gideon, Battle-Forged there to untap him once a turn. Lots of soldiers that buff other soldiers or other humans in here. Think a smaller military detachment to the above deck and you're on the right track.

So yeah, that's basically my poison, come talk about your favorite card game and/or entertaining anecdotes about games you've played or general memes about the card games themselves.

Just had a 6-man Hollywood match where we were all Soldier 76 on attack. It was the greatest thing.

Whenever their Roadhog tried to hook one of us, we all focused fire on him and kill him before he shotgun blasts our comrade in the face. And then one of us put our heal areas down and he shift runs into the area and gets back into the firing line. Whenever we got flanked, 2 of us focused fire on the flanker and the rest kept the rotating line pushing the payload forward. We ended it by rotating our ultis at the spawn doors, killing squishys as soon as they appear and quickly wearing down any tanks.

Jimbo's Rimworld Protip of the day:

Remember to properly vent your power generator rooms; I accidentally created the sauna from hell by having a closed off steel building filled with generators that instantly caused any of my settlers who walked in to drop of Heatstroke and anyone attempting to rescue them also getting struck down by the heat.

Jimbo's freebie tip of the day:

Remember to encircle your turrets with sandbags for protection. 1 improvised gun turret with sandbags singlehandedly took down a 4 man raid by itself with minimum damage in my game and it was glorious.

My Friday to Sunday day off, I bought some Steam sales.
Creeper 3 was some fun time sink, but then I got stuck in the world where you need energy and shield tech.

I bought about $20 worth of a bunch of less than $5 games also. 

I played a lot of Guild 2: The Renaissance.  I initially keep getting a black screen. I fixed it by editing the config file and set the show intro to false. 
And there's plenty of YT let's play that includes some opening strats for scholar, patron, craftsman, and rogue by "My Dry Bread" something.

Crap, I installed another space game (edit: Cosmonautica), where you start with a ship, buy upgrades, (hire pilot, cleaner, repairer, shooter, cook, science), and do trades or missions within the inner planets.  I still need to research to learn how to travel to mid, and outer rim planets. 

I picked up Space Pirates and Zombies SPAZ 1, Orcs Will Die 2, and a few more.

I'm still on the fence if I should pick up Age of Empire II HD, or bite the pack that includes AOE III+ all the others.

Picked up Guild II Renaissance for 99 cents and I've logged 50 hours. It is, in my opinion, the greatest game to ever suck. It's offensively buggy, many systems are grossly oversimplified, and I hate the turn system but most of the ideas and mechanics are really wonderful.

Most of my fondest memories of the game are running my wife's criminal empire from in front of my gem mine (it's a goddamn cheat). All the miners due to the physical work, have really high combat stats so if we get ambushed whoever started it gets rekt.

Bought so far: 
Sims 3 +DLC on steam.  Been waiting to do that for a few years now.
CKII DLC, the latest ones.

I've been thinking about the Sim 3, but even 75% off, the entire DLC costs 100 bucks!

CK2 DLC, thanks for reminding me to check this.

Ya know, I was watching the animated shorts for Overwatch while waiting for Steam to unclog today, and I wondered, why did they make Warcraft as a movie instead of just making an Overwatch prequel movie? I mean, they had the assets and voice actors and the overall plot written anyway (not to mention a whole department making a movie already at the same time as Overwatch's development), so why not work on a movie on the side? A kids Pixaresque movie release of Overwatch a week before release would have doubled as marketing and would have thrown hype levels to the point everyone's collective wallets would spontaneously explode.

At this point I'm just patiently waiting in the bedroom while she does her hair.

LoL more like she went straight out of the bathroom and looking at me in the eyes said - "no bjs till I'm fifty"

It's like you met this girl on a dating site and you two seemed to hit it off really well. From her pictures she looked super fit and she seemed to carry herself off well. Not to mention you got to talk to her friends and they made you think she was great. When you decide to meet however, turns out she doesn't have money for the cab fare to get there so after some hesitation you decide to just pay for that.

She arrives. She looks pretty but she's shallow and extremely materialistic. You get the feeling she's not all there. She's fun to be with at first, but soon you realize two things. One, she seems to be just repeating what people have said before. Two, she's actually only 14-years-old. You were just completely bedazzled initially by her looks to notice.

So after an awkward first conta- meeting, you finally drop her back off at her place. You're feeling a bit regretful at the whole affair and kinda want your cab fare back (along with the other expenses she managed to accrue along the way). The door opens and 'lo and behold. Her dad is there. It's motherfucking Crusader Kings II. He's shirtless, abs glistening with sweat like he just finished another exhilarating workout. Hair parted in that perfect way that accentuates his perfect face. his eyes brimming with the spark and wisdom of age. He smiles a bit at you, knowingly with a dash of smugness that comes across as just beautiful in every way. There are a few scars on his chest which mark the signs of his intense battle to get to where he is. His hand decorated with the blood of the heathen. His magnificent DEUS VULT under the towel that he greets you in, huge in size and bursting with... DLC.

You take another look at Stellaris. She eyes you coquettishly, though you can't help but remind yourself how young she is, especially when compared to her father.

You realize what she might be when she becomes an adult, her pedigree might take her far.

But for now, you toss Stellaris into the bushes and jump into the arms of Crusader Kings II.

Post this as a steam review. More people deserve to see it.

You mind if I quote steal that for my steam review of the game?
