Tale Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Woo, I think my Portal 2 is going to arrive today. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Morgoth Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Finished Portal 2 singleplayer. I liked it better than Portal 1, but the end song was kinda lame. Rain makes everything better.
Orogun01 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Finished Portal 2 singleplayer. I liked it better than Portal 1, but the end song was kinda lame. So you could say that it wasn't a triumph? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Hell Kitty Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I'll probably buy The Next Big Thing when I get home. I have a soft spot for Pendulo adventures.
SadExchange Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Finished Portal 2 singleplayer. I liked it better than Portal 1, but the end song was kinda lame. How long did it take you? I'm at 3 hours right now and feel like I'm quite far as opposed to others who said it took them 9 hours to complete the SP.

Going by the achievement times it took me 5.5 hours which seems fairly accurate.

Tale Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun The gels are providing far more interesting puzzles than I expected. That last one took me a while. Wish the lasers had been this good. Edited April 21, 2011 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Tale Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Beat Portal 2 single player last night. 5.5 hours according to Steam. Steam doesn't seem to have caught all my achievements. No matter, I was planning a PC run of single player anyway. Who's down for co-op tonight? Edited April 21, 2011 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
HoonDing Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I'm close to finishing Darkstar One. I had abandoned the game 2 years ago in the middle of the story missions. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Enoch Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I think I'm starting to get the hang of Civ 5, the rules of which changed a lot after a big patch last month. Started a game as Egypt on the medium "Prince" difficulty level, thinking about doing a Cultural game. Had a rather nice location for Thebes (coastal without too many workable water tiles, lots of grassland, some hills, 3 Silver, 1 Incense, and 3 Cows in the workable area, but no river), and didn't find any other nice city locations in the immediate vicinity (i.e., nothing that would grab more than one luxury or have a particularly high hammer production). So I'm going one-city Culture. I've figured out Research Agreement blocking (an arguably exploitative strategy whereby you research 25% of a tech yourself, which eliminates it from the random-selection options after a RA is completed), and developed a much stronger understanding of the various Social Policy options. For Cultural strategies, I've found a few big keys so far: get to the Renaissance Age as quickly as possible (Astronomy seems to be the easiest tech to make a beeline for) to open up the "Freedom" Social Policy tree. One of the Policies in that tree reduces new SP costs by 25%, so the earlier you get that, the faster you'll progress through the rest (and the rest of the tree is very good, too-- halving the food consumed by Specialists and doubling the Culture produced by any city that contains a World Wonder). Archaeology is the next target Tech, because it enables the National Wonder that increases a city's Culture production by 100%. What I'm currently struggling with is that I don't have a good feel for what portion of my Gold (most of which is made by selling all 4 of my local resources) should be going towards buying off Cultural and Maritime City State allies, and what portion of my Gold should be going towards Research Agreements with the other Civilizations. I also need to decide what my 5th Social Policy tree is going to be-- I've taken Policies so far from Tradition, Piety, Patronage, and Freedom. It'll probably be Liberty, if just for the free Great Person, but some of the bonuses in Commerce would also be useful.
Malcador Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 (edited) Hm, should check those patches out. Something about the game just didn't click with me, not any the "big" stuff either. Edited April 21, 2011 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
