And I got jealous so started playing that again Reading about it here has caused me to redownload it again. Although I will say that I've started playing Blackguards, the early access, and have really enjoyed it so far. I'll probably run through Global distrust to get some Tycoon reputation. I'm maxed with the Eden Initiative, but still need the other two. So far I had only heard from people who didn't like Blackguard...

It's a good game.

If I win the lottery I'll buy the IP, then we'll have a kickstarter

I can't stop you from buying it for me, but I think you could spend those 6 euros more productively than to give me a game I won't play, just so the percentage of people on your friend list who own the game goes up.

I can't connect to Steam :/

What is your name? What is your Quest? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

It really is as if they made a world-wide competition though about the ways Lara can get hurt and then realised they couldn't decide who should win and used all the entries.

Tried to play some more Tomb Raider. Who even came up with this crap?

Hmm that dungeon looks as if tumerboy was having fun mucking about with the environment

Tried to play some QTE Raider. It has pretty visuals.

You should make your own Max Payne in Game Dev Tycoon

I have been hearing good things about it but haven't played it myself.

Yeah, Multi-Deadlock can slaughter you if you have multiple small unions. Especially if the enemy has some nasty AoE it can use more often because of the more Unions. I still haven't encountered Bluejaws Bastard wont spawn in my game. Or he is one of those "spawns only once" enemies and I missed him when he did. The fight that was truly silly awesome for me was the big rare dragon thingie in the desert.

Whn my dogtags weren't working it was because I had put them in the wrong way round... Way too easy to do with this design.

Well, you have a key in your inbox now

If Rush and Baulson had their healing abilities as well, then things would be better Have you got any other formations you could try?

I think it is story based. I am battle rank 92. I can have 3 Unions (groups) and 15 Units (characters). So I have them split into three groups of 5. Apparently all battle rank does is dictate the xp/stat gain from fights and what level abilities enemies use.

So the Square christmas surprise included Steam keys for Tomb Raider, Just Cause 2, Hitman: Blood Money and Dungeon Siege 3. Anyone need a key for Dungeon Siege 3?

That is the first tough fight in the game. Alternatively you could swap out Oakes for a healer if you have one (there is a fairly good Mitra one, McGrady, in the guild you hired Oakes). Though that wont save you from getting one-shot :/

Better metric than binary

Finished reading Redshirts fairly soon after starting it. That probably means it was fairly good.. Or at the very least a pleasant read. Very Scalzi, if that is a thing to say about a book written by Scalzi. Like everything he has written besides the Old Man's War series, it is better than the Old Man's War series. Had a good laugh at the fact that he deffinitly decided that if he can't come up with names, he will celebrate the fact and not hide it at all anymore. Some of the character names are Abernathy, Kerensky, Dahl... even Q'eeng is pronounced King...

I never managed to finish it. All the crafting and min-maxing would mean stupendous amounds of farming and grinding, so that is out of the question. But I always mean to get back to it. I just want to do all the quests, including all the character specific ones for people in your party.

I realy like the Qsiti as well. Oakes, the mercenary you can hire early on, even though he is no special character is one of my favourids. Probably because he heroically charged a huge dragon and cut it to ribbons Make sure you keep an eye out for the special characters. The combat gets tedious later on when the novelty wears off. All the trash fights get old after a bit. This game would really have benefitted from less fighting. The fights against unique rare monsters can be a lot of fun though.
