  1. Neptune's Pride

    Hearing about this game on the latest podcast made it sounds pretty awesome, so count me in.
  2. Wizaaaaaards!!

    "I am Rob WIzard, Sir Cowabunga of Clubs.
  3. Books, books, books...

    ^Speaking of Stephenson, I have Cryptonomicon sitting on my to-read list, waiting for some hapless person to devour in its' gazillion pages.
  4. Wizaaaaaards!!

  5. Transistor

    Presumably the rest of it is still a lot rougher then the polished bit near the beginning they're using in the demo.
  6. Having just played him in a single draft game, I've concluded that Dragon Knight is the greatest thing.
  7. Welcome to the video games industry.
  8. General Video Game Deals Thread

    GOG has Miasmata on sale for half off.
  9. DOTA 2

    Had the best Dota game I've ever played tonight (Which isn't saying much considering I've been really playing less then a week, but still.). Both team pushed themselves into the bases, engaging in tons of teamfights along the way. Two Spanish-speaking members of my team, neither of whom had typed a word of English the whole match said (In broken allcaps English.) that they'd defend the base, allowing us to to charge into the Dire base and wreck everything in sight. I (Playing Skeleton King.) used my stun to let the other racket up a tone of kills and tanked the creeps with a fully level Vampiric Aura. All in all, it was pretty badass. This game. . .
  10. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Hello fellow semi-new people!
  11. eReaders - What is everyone's thoughts?

    I own a Kindle, but still buy most of my books in paper form (Used bookstores are heaven on earth.). I still use it to read public-domain stuff, considering "Absolutely Free" is a price that's hard to beat.
  12. Games that nail atmosphere and immersion

    ^ Now I remember I have to actually get around to playing that game sometime, dammit. The original Fallout had a absolutely brilliant post-apocalyptic theme which I feel Fallout 2 and to a lesser extend the more recent games have missed.
  13. Crusader K+ngs II

    I'm a little miffed that the earlier start date is only a bookmark and not a full addition to the game's timeline, but it still seems cool. Pulling a King Alfred and uniting England against the Norsemen will be pretty badass, as will actually getting to play as that one pagan prince in Sweden.
  14. Crusader K+ngs II

    I jumped in without even touching the tutorial and did reasonably fine. As long as you ignore buildings and science the game isn't terribly hard to figure out.
  15. Discworld

    Considering my avatar is Commander Sir Samuel Vimes himself, I'm certainly a fan. I really need to get back to my odd reading them, right after i finished the ten or so books in my backlog right now. . .
  16. The ship: fruitcake steam cruise.

    Another person with tons of Dota keys and no fruitcake here.
  17. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned in this thread before, but has anyone played else Awesomenauts?
  18. New people: Read this, say hi.

    *Reads* Hi!
