Bay 12 Games Forum

Well, I figure I might just list the contents of my wishlist. Has anyone played any of these, what did you think, and do you still play them?

These I have played:

Risk of Rain: I call this excellent. There's a demo, iirc, so check that out. Do still fire it up occasionally, though I cheat like a so and so. It's fun. I've probably beat it over a dozen times so far. Couple times even legit

King Arthur's Gold: I think some folks around here like it? I played a little before it was pay or whatever, was kinda' interesting, but too early in the dev cycle to really sink into. No clue what it's like these days.

FATE: Unless there's a second FATE running around, this is basically an old diablo clone with just about everything that entails. More or less the precursor to the torchlight games. It's not terrible, per se, but not something I'd recommend. Aim for torchlight (or TL2) instead. Either are basically FATE but magnitudes better.

Shadowrun Returns*: Eeehhnn... I've got it. It's probably better now, what with player made content, but the original incarnation was less than glorious. Definitely not bad, but lacking in a certain oomph. It's also pretty low spec. Runs fine on a 2.1 ghz dual core, 4 gig ram, shitty integrated graphics card. Haven't played in a while, though.

Hammerwatch: I really liked this. Never got around to playing multiplayer, unfortunately, which I'd still rather like to do one of these days. If you remember and liked Gauntlet, there's a very high chance you'd enjoy at least a few hours of this. Definitely fire it up occasionally, though I still haven't sat down and beat it. It's pretty enjoyable.

Revenge of the Titans: Played a little, either a demo or something less than licit, don't remember. Was kinda' interesting, but a bugger to cheat on, which left me less interested Not a terrible TD, overall.

Where do you live? I picked up both omnibuses for about $50 each at Barnes&Noble O_o

... bloody hell that is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on a single book thingy. Fifty bucks for four books is bleeding insane, to say nothing of the madness that Amazon was proposing. For trade paperback stuff, anyway. I knew the prices were getting away from folks but damn.

I know my price instinct for books is distorted by thrift/used book stores and the last time I bought from a major bookstore chain being like in back 2000 (as in literally the year 2000, not between '00 and '10.) or something, but seriously...

I went ahead and took the risk of ordering them used. Hopefully they won't miss any pages, or reek of spilled coffee.

Could yar har it if there's missing pages, I imagine, if you consider it a viable option now that I've dropped some money on it. Pretty sure all of the gaunt's ghost stuff is floating around these days...

And I would have to be a woman to be a sugarmomma

Or maybe Will just wants you to put on a pretty dress first, I'unno.

... y'know, it's sorta' been bothering me. If it does come down to conventional warfare, why would it be WW3? Russia seems to be pissing off or cutting ties with pretty much everyone, not just the west. If things do go hot, what coalition is going to follow the belligerent nation into the fire, especially considering most other non-western powers have serious economic ties with western ones? Russia seems to think it can weather the almost certainly incoming recession that's going to come from pissing all over international diplomacy, but why would anyone else want to follow them down that path?

Its good that he is finally putting up the source code. He mentioned 'veins of the earth' discussed here. I dont see any forums on the incursion site. Where is this discussion?

Over here. Though yeah, as per Rob's mention, most dedicated veins of the earth discussion is probably going on elsewhere.

... reading through the thread, serg?

Did I mention I once had the opportunity to listen to a talented young lady do mozart on snare drum? It was pretty damn incredible. I still kick myself occasionally for not picking up a recording of it.
