    I feel lame for forgetting this already, but what is the name of that flash (and now itouch) game where you run and jump along the building tops. I just can't seem to spell it right for google to know what i'm talking about. Calibant? Cabilant?

    Is anyone playing this still? I picked it up last night and stayed up till 3 am playing! I can add that the community seemed pretty good. I got called a noob a few times, but it was petty light hearted:)

    If anyone has any good tips or online guides i'd love to hear them. The tutorial was nice, but it didn't prepare me at all for playing against people.

    Ah, it's kind of like the helicopters in GTA games, or... G-Police! Once you're brain is used to the controls, it feels effortless.

    Waaa. I found my G-Police disk the other day. I think we got it with a Voodoo 2 or something. Is it worth a boot up?:)

    Arcanum aged badly? That sucks. It's been on my play-eventually list for a long long time, ever since a good friend said it was one of his favorite games when he was younger.

    That sentence was badly realized.

    Well, maybe the universe will help you get over it, but I can be a gameplay junkie.

    Maybe try Wizardry 8? I'm currently playing it for the millionth time. I might even finish it this time.

    Can the peeps who are interested in this game post. If we have a few I'll start up a game in the next few days. We don't need 12, but if anyone from the 1s game wants in on another then nps.

    I'll update as we get moar.

    Lets set a deadline for this time Wednesday. I'll go with less than 12 then.

    Aaaaaagh. I frogot to buy Dues Ex and now it's back to full price><

    Super lame.

    Has anyone mentioned the countless awesome indie games that you can get on the PC? Right now I'm more than addicted to Desktop Dungeon and the Dwarf Fortress tutorial!

    Yup. Anywhere from 3-12. 3, 6 and 12 can have symmetrical spirals too.

    IF we want to get a 2nd game going, i have credits i can use.

    Edit: From what i can see, your money is paid daily at the time of the gamestart. Everything else trickles in over the 24 hours, but i'm not sure of the intervals.

    I'm assuming you are the light blue here. I'd convince Dark Blue to head south. Play up that there is a void between ye which will be difficult to attack accross at an early stage. Ask for minimal garrisons to be left at your closest point and that no other ships be allowed there.

    Red and Yellow will naturally attack one another due to the close borders. If i were you I would sit back for a while and colonise all the stars to your NE, first of all blocking all access to them and then working back in. Keep all your neighbours sweet - again you have void zones with red and yellow - and see what happens.

    In the meantime build up your research in the one that lets your ships fly further untill it is nearly done. then stop it. When you go on the attack immediatly finish the research and then send out your ships to mop up whoever is weaker of red and yellow (hard to say which since purple doesn't seem to be playing).

    That's what i would do. I could be horribly wrong:P

    God damn space puffin Bojo!

    yeah that sucks, I'd side with any thumb and honor that agreement before doing anything like that. It's good to know other peoples games play out similiarly to one and another, it means I'll learn faster and adapt. Should be interesting.

    Na, you need to be brutal in these games. You guys need to play some Diplomacy!:P

    I used to really like exams because i was good at cramming. nanananana.

    My worst was the one where in never went to classes and wasn't able to get any notes from anyone and had to learn random items from a 500 page book. Luckily it was only around 20% of the final mark in the module, but it taught me early on in my university carreer to actually know what was on the course before the night before the exam:P

    Don't do it guys. this has been boning my life for the last few weeks. Finished Normal on with all the 12 normal characters. 0 ranked. 3 finishes on each of the various other game modes and 0 finsihes with the 2 special characters i've unlocked.

    If anyone needs any tips just poke me*. there is also a wiki out if you need to look up what different gods do etc.

    *not that i'm any much good

    King's Bounty was a whole lot of awesome too. Chris Remo raved about it a while back and i picked it up on the Steam sale. unfortunatly, not having a console i'm a bit lost as to what the differences between PC and console gaming, apart from the cripplin pain that my soul endures when i try to play a fps with a gamepad.

    Try and get Wizardry 8 if you are mad into RPGs. Hell, you can just make it into a party building game without ever actually playing the game.

    System Shock 2. It's a bit fiddley to get working on XP but it worked for me eventually. So worth it. The phycic monkeys haunt me ever since i heard them in the demo way back when.

    The Settlers 2. This is the oldest game in my collection that i still play regularily. I could spend all day watching the little people go about their economy building shizzle.

    Grim Fandango. Robert Frost baloons.

    All of Valve. Just get the orange box if you can't decide. Honestly, HL1 is showing it's age, but its still gleeful fun.

    World of Warcraft. 11.5 million people can't be...
