When you're a stranger Faces look ugly When you're alone Women seem wicked when you're unwanted Streets are uneven when you're down When you're strange Faces come out of the rain When you're strange No one remembers your name

That would have been true forum art.

So as not to derail the "Pictures" thread any further than we already have, replying to Keyrock here. Not to derail this thread any further (okay, I will), but what is this Contrast you speak of? (and to not be completly off topic here either) I am playing "waiting for Contrast to release": Other than that I am playing Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender

I'll let you know how Contrast works out when that comes out soon.

At least you are left the title of the movie

Yes, I have a huge list of point and click adventure games to play through for non-violent enjoyment. Murder simulations more and more seem like the "easy way out" for the gaming industry. You do not need to come up with anything actually interesting if you just let people shoot stuff. So I really enjoy it everytime someone makes a game that lets you do something that isn't just adrenaline through virtual combat situations. Then again... I am currently shooting robot-fishies that try to stop my milk mining operations...

This one goes out to Lady Crimson: The Milk Must Flow! Marine Milk Mining Operations: The map: Spotting fishies is dangerous work:

That was the realization that had gotten me really depressed after hundred+ hours on Freelancer: that I was spending all my time studying to get a "good" and "respectable" job and all my spare time pretending to be a virtual delivery boy.

Not sure. I cam here late too. But remember that thread in which Prosper was wondering if his online behaviour could affect his job prospects in an internet sensitive work environment? Seems he doesn't anymore...

Yeah, it's not looking too good fundingwise. A real shame.

The new The Mandate trailer:

I haven't seen much of her personal story. I enjoyed Ophelia a lot (seems to be widely agreed on on the interwebz as the best story) and thought Aida was ok. I want to see the story of the elven princess, but she is so annoying...

Now all we need to do is find someone who owns/has played the game and can answer that question.

Who did you marry?

Seems to work for the expansion as well.

I think the decissions in Act 1 are fixed to give the tone. Later on I have gotten different ones. And it is randomw hich of the personal stories of the generals trigger besides some necessary ones (Lady Catherine's equal pay). Relations to races is important on the strategic map. They affect your support in countries which translates into more or less recruits at barracks. So if you have a barracks in a country with average support you can get maybe 3 or 4 units per turn there. If support is really low it could be just 1 unit, while at 100% you'd get 8 I think. My strategy therefor is to have Barracks and Gold Mines in regions that support me, while putting Taverns, Parliaments and Academies in those that don't. And yes, seems you too are going down the Lizard story arc, the way I seem to keep doing. There was a video about player choices in Dragon Commander (SPOILERS): My greatest annoyance with the game? That I can't zoom out in the world map.

It looks interesting but I have a dislike for first person adventure games. Steam just gave me a 90% voucher for Two Worlds II... And I am still not tempted to buy it (ok I own it, that may have something to do with it).

Not my experience. He quite quickly came around with transports and those spiderthingies who do shoot airborne. Nothing hit-and-run didn't fix, the AA-turrets are worse. Anyway, second RTS battle was a joke, blizkrieged the enemy in 7 minutes. Took so long since I paused, otherwise it probably would be 2 minutes. So easy. Third RTS battle again was nuttricion. U shape, bases on both sides, middle point the interesting thing. Enemy did try to drop some enemies on my shores, but those were easily slaughtered. Wiped up the middle, he surrendered. And that were the 3 RTS-battles of Act I. Did the rest on auto-resolve, much better. Started Act II and already lost quite a few units in the first turn! Figured those ships on the water, since in neutral, where to be captured. Instead shot down my transport holding 5 troopers. ****. Also 2 other transports where apparently on the map (didn't see them), and retreating one got ripped apart. Next round I landed somewhere, only to learn they had no load. So it's the long way back to my country again to fill it. Great start there... I think you mean "attrition ", "nutrition" is something else The oceans aren't controlled by anoone, but the units still have the faction colour *wink wink* And with the transports: Hah! *smug grin* I had told you about those. Nobody notices them What do you think of your council?

Act 1 the AI is forgiving on normal. So he only sends troopers after you at first. Since they can't shoot airborn targets you are fine. Later on it wont be that easy. The idea is to grab recruitment citadels as fast as possible and hold them against the enemy. On casual you can just play in Dragon form. On easy it works unil Act 3. Then the opponent is likely to have far too many troops in each territory. The difficulty levels mostly affect how aggressive and how fast the AI builds units.

Seems so. got mine as well a couple of days ago

On some of those screenshots the old lighting seemed more crisp. In the end it comes down to personal taste.

Still need to get rid of those

The steam pop-up informing that "Melkathi is now playing Chainsaw Warrior"

Hmm I have to watch these eventually to see which one has my guest appearance.

Yay!
