  1. Shadow of the Horned Rat

    As mentioned, around half way through the game you'll get an ultra-super-plus spanking with spank-spinkling, and a side order of spank. There's no way to avoid it, and there's no mistaking it when it happens. But apart from that mission/cluster of missions (there's a few different ways it can...

  2. Shadow of the Horned Rat

    Not really. As long as you can figure out how to destroy the skavens in the "pays for skaven heads" missions, you'll be fine. Assuming your economy hasn't tanked utterly already, and all your units are still alive.

  3. Shadow of the Horned Rat

    SoTHR has a sucky interface, and it is soul-crushingly difficult and unfair. I'm pretty sure it's the only game that has ever made me howl in frustration. Yet I've beaten it twice, and failed miserably on something like ten different occasions. No chance I'll LP it. Even if I had the time, I...

  4. Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity

    It's a bit of a resource hog, yes. Especially if you use prettification mods (integrated in Distant Stars). But if your machine isn't a laptop or older than the game, it ought to run fairly well. Does on our machines anyway. You haven't played very much, have you? :P It doesn't...

  5. Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity

    Not at all.oaSE is node-based: maps consists of a number of points of possible contention, each with a variable amount of resources and links to a variable number of other points of contention. This means map control consists in part of capturing the nodes with the resources you need, capturing...

  6. Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity

    Yes, but the KKKonsensus is BBS in this case. SoaSE, on the other hand, is pretty fucking great. It's a node-based, research-heavy RTS with unusually large to almost-uniquely large map sizes, pretty graphics, gameplay options you'll almost certainly have to tweak, and outstanding competitive...

  7. Just reinstalled Morrowind, entered it as vanilla, and puked

    Vanilla, the faces are equally fugly, but otherwise Oblivion's are much, much better looking. Include mods and Morrowind's playable races suddenly looks a whole hell of a lot better than Oblivion's. Uhm... "The fatty portion of milk, separated as a soft whitish or yellowish solid when milk...

  8. StarDrive, a potentially interesting 4x game in need of cash

    If you're smoking half a cigar faster than you can brew a cup of tea, you're doing at least one (but more likely both) of those things really, really wrong. Beyond that, all I can really say is that I managed to go buy 2 bottles of juice and a pack of tobacco last winter and be ready to...

  9. StarDrive, a potentially interesting 4x game in need of cash

    LuLz, SEVs is the definition of bad AI. Seriously, it's the go-to example of bad AI for, it seems, almost everyone who've played the game. But an even bigger problem with SEV, is that turn processing is shockingly slow. People often talk about having time to go make a cup of tea while a game...

  10. StarDrive, a potentially interesting 4x game in need of cash

    In this particular case ignorance really is bliss, so you really shouldn't have thanked him. SEV is a broken mess. Stick with IV.

  11. The Ending of PST

    My memory is a little fuzzy on the subject, but I don't think living entities could suffer the fate TNO did. I've always assumed he was dead before ever arriving at the front lines. As for his ultimate fate, I'm pretty sure the various factions promoted most of their critters from the...

  12. Legend of Grimrock - new DM clone in the works

    From everything I've seen so far, it is an exact replica of Dungeon Master's combat system, including the "unique rune-based magic system" (dear Grimrock devs, you might want to look up the definition of unique). If you want to try it out, I'd suggest DMJava over the original games. The...

  13. Fuck YES!

    Was there more to Sephiroth than mommy issues and a hefty doze of teh crazies? Also, if you really have to reduce Irenicus to the absurd, wouldn't "artificial boy wants to be real" be more appropriate? - The whole elf fucking/cloning business was, after all, just an example of the...

  14. Fuck YES!

    What made Sephiroth a good villain? - Admittedly I don't remember the game very well, but wasn't he a loon who wanted to fuck the world because he couldn't fuck his mommy anymore? Irenicus was easy to understand, and I'm guessing most BG2 players at the time could relate to him (I know I...

  15. Potion drinking in RPG is fucking stupid

    But that seems to be all we agree on. I'm not a fan of binary damage states [aka: fine/dead; aka: HP] and non-locational damage [aka: getting my face impaled is the same as getting my arm impaled]. As mentioned previously, we're a bunch of guys who've spend a not insignificant amount of time...
