So, would anyone be interested in a screenshot filled (Links, mind you. What I have in mind would explode the page), semi-in character write up of a massive Civ 5 game? The main rational behind this is for people that haven't decided on Civ 5 yet to get a little help. And laughing at other people being miserable failures is always fun. (I'd likely play on Immortal or the one before and die miserably.) So, what say you?! (No throwing your ears at me, please.) Edit For An Additional Thought: Maybe I could do it on our first MP session, even. Then it'll be 8 crazy humans, instead of a crazy human talking to himself.

I bow to your superior knowledge of little rubber deathtraps.

I'm all for waterskiing, or wakeboarding or what have you, but an innertube smacks of stupid. (As does this posts spelling, according to Chrome.)

I'm always tickled when I can see things from 'space'. I'm glad we already have giant pits in the word for people to fall in and die when health works again.

Hold it. They actually got the license for BG? (I am moderately amused by the monk bit, I admit.) Edit: Just watched Chapter 3. I am the thrilled. If they've got the license for 1, I'm sure they have it for 2. Now to go occupy my time until. . .9 and a half hours from now.

My only, only gripe so far, is that they didn't keep Leonard Nimoy for the voice work. Oh. Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks "And we will call it. . .this land!" when he says a certain thing in the cinematic.

*Raises hand* Trying to decide what to build next. Might do a proper large Moria replica.

I have to wonder why you would even attempt such a thing in the first place.

That was I. There's an excellent chance that now that he has a company (well, more or less has a company) that he'll be able to fix odd things like that.

While this isn't going to stop be from buying games from them (they do have a really excellent selection), I'm not exactly thrilled with this.

Manse is mostly done. http://s217.photobucket.com/albums/cc95/Orvidos/Orvidos%20Minecraft/ It's erm. . .I didn't remember to check the clouds. It's along the beach to the left if looking at the community chest. No fireplace accidents in my home!

. . .Hermie. . .why is your flood made of pressure plates?

Slimes maybe? Also, if this is not the most terrifying patch note/sentence you have ever fucking heard, get your head checked out; Skeletons can ride Spiders The server, she lives!

It was such a nice house too. . . And perhaps.

Huzzah! He re-enabled sound downloading. Had to redownload the client during the weekend and not having sound was getting to me. Now the next question, has our server dropped out?

So, I just captured my first city in Civ 5 and the game went into explode-mode. But I'm up for MP whenever.

The Wiz(zz)a(aaaaaaa)rd's Tower is complete. Yes, the tower has a mouth.

I keep meaning to engage Patters in some sort of Minecraftian discussion and/ find out what kind of bloke he is, but I always remember around an hour after he's off for the night. Got some screens of our Valley of the Vietcong before the server reset because of the weekend griefers.

I'm aware. What I wasn't aware of was the formulae for clay -> bricks. I kept throwing away the base element of the chain because I thought it was an oddly graphic'd graphite stack. Godsdamnit. Kingz. . .what texture pack are you using? It looks similar to. . .Dookuz? Whatever his name is' RPG texture pack, but it also seems to be finished, unlike his.

I'm fairly un-thrilled about the whole deal because there are games I got from GOG like Lords of Magic and Aquanox (which, admittedly, the latter is now on Steam) that I will never find in stores again. I also had high hopes they'd eventually nab the rights to digital distribution for the Infinity Engine games. Bah. And humbug.

Another server. He has since amended his name to Patrick and is apparently an admin. Ah well. My floating castle in the sky is complete, and pictures will come eventually. I really, really hate having to make the entire thing out of cobblestone.

Thiiiiiiis. One in a million is not particularly long odds, even considering only America. Thanks Thompson. Jerk.

Patters, there's someone on my server parading about as you! Work continues apace on my Netherese city.

Well fuck Jake, thanks. I've never actually considered that fact before. Godsdamnit. That said, mmmm, free sleep.

I have essentially become the Vietcong in my server. I have a vast underground empire, all of which connects to my mini-Moria. A few minutes ago, I accidentally came up in someone's house. But I think I'll leave it, because their floor is cobblestone and easy to replace whenever I feel like using that particular tunnel.
