Gorth

Shipping the game in a little crate shaped box would be a nice touch

...is there such a thing as an adopted Christian? I'm a follower a Pragmatism. I believe in what gets the job done, hedonism, scepticispm, moral relativism and everything included. Unfortunately, roast boar and mead seems in short supply here Down Under Edit: Happy "summer" Solstice to those living up north.

As MC said, it is not that it is particularly hard, it is just a surprise the first time those moving rings sneak up on you from behind and whack the living out of you. Poor Isaac suddenly becomes a 10 square meter rug on the floor My Second attempt ended with me starting a grappling contest with a necromorph before making it all the way into the wedge. My third attempt only succeeded because I had bought a supply of air cannisters, otherwise I would have suffocated on my way. Of course, I did take my time not wanting to rush headlong into an ignominous death again, hence a bit of waiting (and using precious oxygen) to get the timing right. I think I am falling in love with the Ripper. My tools of preference are the Line Gun, Ripper and Flamer in about that order

Yes (on both accounts). I got caught by surprise the first time, walking cautiously from the elevator shaft to the exit. Nice death animations though Edit: The roguelike is Nethack. Life is short and brutal in Nethack. Poor Sir Gorth made it to dungeon level 4 and died from quaffing an unidentified potion while surrounded by enemies (a potion of paralysis as it turned out).

Start of old thread End of old thread Out of money, my horse has run away and I am hungry. I hope those carrots in my baclpack taste as good as the look...

I am normally a sucker for "unique" versions (i.e. LE, CE, etc.) unless they are outrageously overpriced. I fully expect a CE version to have a Mke Thorton action figure included. Additional wardrobes and companion figures sold separately from SEGA's online store

Why did I have to read this thread?!?

Finally got there and back again in Dead Space. Got outside the big asteroid, placed the stuff there that I was supposed to place there and rushed back inside. Simply "running" and dodging necromorphs instead of messing around with them. Just to be ganged up upon when back inside and killed by a mob that had superior numbers of heads, limbs and tentacles on their side. Where is my save anywhere feature dammit?

Ask the designer of the forum game to include some proper choice and consequences?

That would be cheating, wouldn't it? Sort of like looking up a walkthrough on the internet (no idea what the ranks are, really)

Two months?!? Wedding rings... Had a few days off this week. Could feel my mind starting to crack on the surface, seeing little moving shadows on the walls etc. Got some much needed sleep and a break. Even got to post a little. I should do that more often

I finished IWD not that long ago with a team that included a Fighter/Thief. He did a great job of scouting ahead and being an advanced observer for the fireball flinging mage. I never really used him for the backstabbing part though. There was indeed something about him occasionally being stuck with the hide button unselectable. Small nuisance, but didn't make the game "unplayable" (I wondered if it was a Vista/DirectX thing).

I tried it for all of 30 minutes on a friends xbox, trying out a bit of conversation, fighting and the Mako... wasn't too impressed. It felt like Kotor rehashed, which would have made it a great game in 2003. It did manage to get me searching for classic arcade games, as I remember how fun the original Moon Buggy was

I think that was his point. Those cars don't encourage responsible driving Way back in time, a friend of mines dad sold his Jaguar a few weeks before my friend got his drivers license and bought an "ordinary" car for the very same reason. I don't think my friend ever forgave his dad until several years after, but at least he lives to tell the tale.

I've never seen a "lets play" thread before, so wasn't quite sure what to expect or do I did download and install the latest 1.13 mod though to try it out, so something did come out of it

One of the few things left on my "to-do" list

So did John Bonham. Those guys sure knew how to party...

I started a new game. SO no. Not yet. :/ What happened? The Drassen Counter attack?

Thread pruned a bit. Lets see if we can't reduce the noise levels a bit? >_ On topic: I fail to see any semblance with Mass Effect, in fact it makes me wonder if people that compares it that game have played that many crpgs? If anything, it seems to have a lot more in common with VMBL sans the setting/vampire theme. Or is it just because both games runs on the same Unreal engine licensed from the same third part, that people thinks that there are superficial similarities?

What he said In my younger days, I tried to classify and compartamentalise everything, but eventually I realised that I was trying to hit a moving target. These days, I try to classify music by less stringent things like mood or purpose instead. When needing to wring a bit more effort out of myself, I play a bit of Led Zeppelin, Accept, Dorothee Pesh, Kiss, Joan Jett etc. When feeling moody, I play gregorian chant or stuff like Clannad, Enya etc. When relaxing, very slow stuff like Kitaro, Sarah Brightman, Vangelis etc. When background "noise" is in order, some Stiltskin, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Garbage, The Primitives etc. When feeling introspective, I put on some Fleetwood Mac, The Cult, Queen, Pink Floyd etc. And so forth. Just example bands, plenty more where they came from.

Still playing Dead Space. Keep hitting my head against a wall here... or rather an asteroid. Nasty asteroid. I get my butt handed to me In my defence, it is a very BIG asteroid I managed once to get past the moving metal rings without getting split into an upper Gorth and a lower Gorth, just to die once I got outside. A group of necromorphs ganged up on me and turned it into an exciting contest to see who killed me first, physically inflicted damage or asphyxiation (sp?) Looks like I am in for a lot of reloads

Hey look, it's a crate! Just kidding. Nice to see some love for the isometric perspective.
