  1. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    Tropic 3 & 4 are the same game with a few extra frills. 4 does not solve 3s problem of being impossible to lose without some serious effort, nor does it solve the general repetitiveness of 3s building.
  2. The Secret World

    Little baby men complained that they got ganked constantly.
  3. Hitman: Absolution

    Well that video sold me on the game, and I chuckled a fair bit at Lenny. Murdoc, I am 100% sure there are at least 5 towns somewhere in rural areas of the United States who are about decades behind, culturally. Probably more.
  4. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    Cyl is the only one with a name so far, if I remember correctly.
  5. Crusader K+ngs II

    Kersch has you covered again. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3487258
  6. The Secret World

    1: No more so than the usual quest chaining. 2: Very! The voice acting is great, the writing, from skill names to dialogue all is fantastic, you keep finding cool things every time you leave a hub. It is a static world however. 3: Not nearly as much as you might think, but loot is still a thing. You won't be barred from doing a dungeon by some sanctimonious prick for not having the perfect items though. Clothes are entirely cosmetic, talismans and weapons are the actual gear. Addendum: It is still probably not worth the money. They removed the open PvP in White Sands Isle a while back. I retired my hunter that I kept specifically in White Sands for almost two years, a sad day. They also removed it in the area under the palace, but that wasn't the place for "cool kids" to PvP in Tortage anyway. The quest gap has been wholly fixed by updates now, but I ran into it back at launch.
  7. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    PSA: If you want to buy something and it is not on special/front-page sale, wait until the last day. It is a cosmic law that anything you buy on normal discount will go on the front page the next day.
  8. I blame playing solo Gondar against Clinkz/Omni, but I really can't claim having played well. No worries! It was just a bad day for DotA for me.
  9. Steam Summer Sale 2012

    I would totally be up for the occasional CK2 MP session.
  10. A new Kickstarter by Pendulo Studios

    It just seems messy, don't worry about it, I am crazy.
  11. A new Kickstarter by Pendulo Studios

    My opinion stands. A temp subforum maybe?
  12. Homophobic?

    I only just realized this went from a sort of mocking thread to Morality Squad FOB.
  13. Homophobic?

    S'cool. I guess I didn't stress my point well enough since you seem to agree with my point that racism isn't that kind of thing anymore. Yes, words have a history and it's that history that gives them a great deal of their weight, but racism isn't a goverment institution anymore(*), or anything like that. I'm just going to bow out here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plz-bhcHryc&feature=player_embedded (*There are a trillion disclaimers that needed to be added to that statement and I'm sure you all can adequately cover them.)
  14. I'm in no way I coder but I believe you have my Steam if you want to rattle some mechanics/ideas around. Good luck!
  15. Oh that's right, in vanilla smelting cobble just turns it into regular stone. There's that plan out the window. Technic allows cobble -> sand -> glass | V 1:1 sandstone I'd hardly call lava scarce though.
  16. Generate cobble, smelt into glass, run the furnace on lava buckets.
  17. A new Kickstarter by Pendulo Studios

    Hey, guess what needs to stop happening. A thread for every Kickstarter we like. Could we get a merged Kickstarter thread? As for the game itself... well.
  18. Movie/TV recommendations

    Beverly/Troi/Westley episodes are the worst thing.
  19. Worst Kickstarter Ever

    What, have they become not-a-cesspit since I was last there a couple years ago? (I'm mostly joking, but my time with PA people in EVE was marred with constant mild annoyance.)
  20. Worst Kickstarter Ever

    To be fair, Jerry and Mike make a living on being crass and occasionally insightful. Like you said, it's probably just because Kickstarter is a thing with a lot of press right now. As for mocking PA's supporters... Don't visit their forums. Most of it, at least.
  21. My big problem with trading with random people is that a lot of people out there will rant and rave about "Trade uncommons for uncommons!" but are happy to fleece people. Basically the entire TF2/DotA economy is wacky.
  22. Worst Kickstarter Ever

    As odd as this is, you seem to have so easily forgotten Your World. E: Or the other MMO Kickstarter with a shitty tech demo that plans to be released as a box + subscription game... in 2016.
  23. I think there are already a couple frequented Mumble servers, we'd just have to standardize which one to use.
