Codex Gaming

[Surgey]

Hm. Well I thought it was good. Still, I guess if you didn't like Guild Wars, you might not enjoy DDO. I thought it was better than GW, though.

I found a game some of the space sim enthusiasts might like:

Allegiance

 

[denizsi]

I posted this also in Tribes thread: Soldat. it's 2D, fast, easy to control and free*. It kics ass, you have to give it a chance.

*: Well, it used to be free, but you can still play it with some restrictions. The only significant thing is you are limited to 640x480 until you purchase it.

 

[Surgey]

You're also limited to playing games with just your close friends if you don't want to play with a bunch of cheaters or retards with M79's.

In the meantime, what can I play with you freaks using dial-up?

Online pong.

Oh, also, satellite is almost always super expensive, from what I've seen. They do that to make sure that there are SOME disadvantages to living in a fortified compound out in the middle of nowhere.

I live half a mile form a casino, and a short walk from the telephone/cable box, the idiots just are far too lazy to do anything.

I hate dial-up, if satelite is good for downloads then it is better than dial-up.

Also, LAN REQUIRES NO CD-KEYS/NO UNIQUE CDKEYS, SPREAD THE WORD

IE, Use Hamachi.
Bored drunken rambling removed, especially since you guys arent playing Tribes.

EDIT: I removed the link. Piracy is a no-no, folks! I probably won't even give it to you, even if you PM me or ask me on IRC for the link!

I beat the Codex at Worms, and here is pictoral proof.

 

[Fez]

What is that mess meant to be?

 

[Admiral Rimjob POOBUM]

What happens when you printscreen Worms: Armageddon, apparently.

 

[Fez]

You could try running a screen grabber to see if that works better. The benefit with that is that you don't need to paste the shot each time.

 

[Nicolai]

Fraps works pretty well.

 

[Admiral Rimjob POOBUM]

I would have, but I had no intention of taking screens... when I saw his last worm neck-deep in water with 1hp left on my turn, I just couldn't help but screenshot the poor thing. Could've put an amusing caption on it.

 

[Nicolai]

It's the future of gaming, baby

 

[SlavemasterT]

It's the future of gaming, baby

What is it, exactly?

 

[Nicolai]

Online D&D, sugarbuns.

 

[Fez]

That looks pretty good. How are you finding it so far and how does it compare to P&P?

 

[ixg]

Man, it's hell working with a lizard and a guy who chases dopplegangers.

 

[kingcomrade]

That looks pretty good. How are you finding it so far and how does it compare to P&P?

I was playing with them originally but it was terribly boring so I quit. I've never played P&P though so I can't compare.

 

[Sovy Kurosei]

I missed a session.

Unfortunately I had more fun with the fighting than the roleplaying. It would have been kind of boring if it weren't for Nicolai's antics. Then again I play a fighter and they don't do much else than fight. Yarr.

 

[Surgey]

You damn powergamers. Still, D&D is pretty combat-based, to be fair. But there are skills for non-combat stuff. For a bunch of guys who like to avoid combat in video games, I'm really rather surprised you guys want combat so much. I mean, you guys really seem to not like how many RPG's nowadays don't let you avoid combat.

EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention you can hold the middle mouse button to SCROLL THE MAP. That entire encounter with Chryssagram was at the TOP of the map.

 

[kingcomrade]

Well without combat its just LARPing.

 

[Surgey]

Minus the live action part. And since when do RPGCodexers hate roleplaying? I don't get it.

 

[kingcomrade]

No, it's still LARPing. I wish I had saved most of the stuff Jas was posting when I was there.

 

[Surgey]

He was being in-character. I don't get what your problem is.

 

[obediah]

I'm gay and lame enough to be willing to give online D&D a shot. As a bonus, you don't have to smell any of the people you're playing with.
