Something for the lulz - a Sol Invictus story

but the number of good games out is steadily diminishing, mainly due to fucking piracy.

I wish people would just support the fucking industry if they love it so much.

Not that I don't agree with what you're saying, but aren't you the guy who used to frequent the rpg codex and had a Warren Spector quote in your sig about something like the negative effects of piracy being bullshit?

How the times change.

I just googled the quote, and it's

"I never minded piracy. Anyone who minds about piracy is full of shit"

Who gives a shit? If you're from the RPG Codex, I have to say that you guys need to learn to let things go. As far as I know, people at the RPG Codex are still harping on about how Oblivion ruined RPGs and how MMORPGs are the bane of existence and everything. The place is trapped in a temporal stasis in which the hope of Troika Studios developing Fallout 3 still remains strong.

Oh yeah, and some people still seem to have a grudge against me over there. But really, why should I give a fuck? What's the point of bringing this shit up? This thread isn't about you or me or the fucking RPG Codex. It's about The DRM in Mass Effect. Stay on topic, usedpilot.

I was what, 16? I had no fucking idea what I was talking about back then and I should've probably kept my mouth shut on more than a few occasions.

I'm not. I just remember when I used to lurk there. I probably hate that place more than you.

Well, good. That's good to know. All they do is pretty much whine about every RPG that comes out and why it isn't as perfect as their beautiful Fallout 1 and how Baldur's Gate is "dumbed down" and so on and so forth. I got pretty tired of them during the Vampire: Bloodlines days. Apparently Troika could do no wrong.

I visited the place a few weeks ago and found that they have this whole uncomfortable arrangement between furries from the Elder Scrolls forums, 9/11 truthers, Ron Paul supporters and neo-nazi sympathizers, and Cleve Blakemore appears to be a regular poster now. He also has a following of people who agree with his ideas. What the fuck?

A slice of fried gold there.

I wonder if he'll be looking back and saying the same sort of thing a few years from now?

 

[Chefe]

I didn't know he was still around.

Is this a decline of the Codex thread, or what?

 

[Jaime Lannister]

Why the grudge? It sounds like he hates the "I have a moral right to pirate games with bad DRM" crowd as much as you do, VD.

 

[Vault Dweller]

He hates a lot of things.

I don't think he posted it about the DRM issue.

 

[Amasius]

Hail the king of flip flopping!

Actually, that's pretty much spot on.

No doubt. Quote material.

 

[Suicidal]

neo-nazi sympathizers

Yes, Rex, everyone who disapproved of your Clive Blakemore drama being in the news section supports Nazism.

and Cleve Blakemore appears to be a regular poster now. He also has a following of people who agree with his ideas. What the fuck?

Ohnoes, Rex! Your mortal enemy is corrupting the minds of Codexers! Without you, no one can fight his spreading influence!

What was the response of the Codex hivemind to Bloodlines when it came out? Any super-thread you can link me to?

 

[ghostdog]

Well he doesn't seem to know who Mr.T is, how old is he now, 18?

 

[Korgan]

OMG. I'm 17, and Russian, and know who Mr. T is. Good fucking riddance. Sol, that is.

Lies, you were 2.8... stick to the facts, plz.

Some people liked it, some people didn't like it.

I take it all back:

BLOODLINES RULES!

You're free to pan the game if you want, before trying it, as I have. Cynicism can be a healthy mental activity, after all. You'll be even happier to find out that the game will surpass every single one of your RPG-geared expectations and present itself as, clearly, one of the best RPGs in years.

 

[sah]

I have learned a lot from this thread

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

And there was much rejoicing.

 

[JarlFrank]

I have learned a lot from this thread

A little lesson in history?

 

[Nicolai]

The codex has nothing on rpgfront.com, obviously.

Hot or Not reference? I feel so old school to even have gotten that.

I think he changes his mind again when he discovers the underdeveloped hack 'em up parts.

I thought you left? Welcome back anyway

He did not leave, he is less active.
