It was one of the best games ever. I think I only ever played it with a software renderer (I was graphics card underprivileged), and it was naturally a super dark game. I would always have to crank up the brightness to give myself virtual night vision. The game engine was literally called the dark engine.katamari Damassi wrote:LOVED that game.

OMFG, I finally worked up the courage to play through it a few years back (yeah yeah my first time playing I was a huge pussy and skipped all of the OC levels).
The worst thing, about those 4 OC levels is that IT NEVER FUCKING ENDED. JFC. Back and forth, dodging zombies. GRRR. My boyfriend is an ass and he got some chainmail and started rubbing it in order to scare me. I really hate the undead Hammerites:(

Anyway, this is another instantiation of the patented Chris Mooney "Republican brains be stoopid, science prooves it" and "Relgisous brains be stoopid, science prooves it" template.
And I don't know why it should "make Atheist+ and Gamers+ ecstatic"- isn't this sort of thing a bit too close for comfort to Dawkins' tweets about how few Nobel prizes go to Muslim countries?
In my experience Mooney has always been in the camp of Science Proves Conservative Brains Are Damaged and Stupid and constantly pushes any kind of crap that forwards that agenda.

Actually no. You're not. I loved SS2. but not as much as I loved the first game, which was a lot more ultima-in-space and a fairly gentle pace. I always felt that SS1 was largely unrecognised compared to the genre wrecking-ball of its younger sister.Pitchguest wrote:I have a confession to make. I never played System Shock 2 during its original release. (I know, I know, a gamer faux pas!)
But I did buy it on GOG a few months back and I installed it hoping to redeem myself. Let me just put it this way: I've become way too used to modern games. Because holy fucking shit. The game is way too fucking complicated. I'm sure at the time when I was more accustomed to games being that way and I actually think I would have made sense of it much sooner due to the contrived way games were conceived back then, but now? I came to a point where I had no idea what to do. Enemies were swarming me. I ran out of bullets. The upgrade system is crazy. I could link waypoints on the map multiple times that would show up in the game but showed no way how to disable them so they were eventually clogging up my screen. Um. Yeah.
I didn't even get half way. I still have it on my computer, haunting me, compelling to play it all the way through. But each time I fire it up I run into the same problem. I refuse to look through playthroughs on YouTube because I want to figure that shit out for myself, but I was just astounded on just how complicated it turned out. Even the original Deus Ex wasn't this convoluted.

Well, that was the problem. Bioware should have focused on making fewer realms that could carry more players but they screwed it up. Since SWTOR didn't have Cross Realm capability like WoW, after a month or two after release the PvP suffered because people who had gone through the main campaign, done all the stuff, main quest, raids, etc, they quit, leaving realms emptier and emptier. After a while they were faced with several dozen dead realms or dying and they didn't have an exit strategy, and they had no plans of merging them either which meant that players who were playing on dead realms had to reroll on the more populated ones.Tribble wrote:I played the month that came with the game and have never looked back. There was no fucking 200 of unique class story hours per class as per the BioWare press release sucked down as gospel by the fucking reviewers. It only took 40ish hours to get to end game and 75% was rehashed for every character.
Every world, almost without exception had four areas, each of which was structured like this:
Main Quest (world to world, class based)
Planet Quest (that world only, area to area)
Local Side Quest (that area only)
Local Side Quest (that area only)
And the bullshit always making you face the boss up close in the initial start. Really kind of hard on the goddamn ranged/sniping Smugglers and Bounty Hunters!
Anyway, it could have been a great MMO. Instead it was totally mediocre and people dropped it like flies. We had over 200 people in our guild. By the last day I could play, less than 10 were still active in any meaningful way with the rest rarely logging in at all.
Which is why North America has gone from 214 servers to 8. And, at best, the traffic is merely 'standard' during peak and 'light' the rest of the time. And Europe is even worse. Only 3 servers left out of 180+, all of which are English language servers with the French, Spanish and German language servers being closed.
Munchkin? It's more than a board game, if that is what you mean. I've got a ton of the card decks, and expansions, and have loads of fun with the game. Play it a lot on our Saturday Night get-togethers.BlueShiftRhino wrote:@ another lurker - All I really meant is that the various god powers and such make AoM much more fun that AoE. When you've got six or so drunk or stoned gamers around, it can be quite fun.
On the other hand, if you don't know Jackson's board game Munchins, you're an incomplete person. There's no other way to put it.

Charities and religious groups often offer free meals, and the Feds provide EBT, but hell this article suggests that even food banks are part of the patriarchal system oppressing mothers. And EBT is problematic. It can be used for terribly unhealthy foods, but it can't be used for medicine.So let’s move this conversation out of the kitchen, and brainstorm more creative solutions for sharing the work of feeding families. How about a revival of monthly town suppers, or healthy food trucks? Or perhaps we should rethink how we do meals in schools and workplaces, making lunch an opportunity for savoring and sharing food. Could schools offer to-go meals that families could easily heat up on busy weeknights? Without creative solutions like these, suggesting that we return to the kitchen en masse will do little more than increase the burden so many women already bear.
That's not the actual 'why' (at least as I learned it). The actual why was France's army was feudal, disorganized, and the command structure a disaster while the English Army was a professional, well-organized and well-commanded army. Early on the differences were recognized, however, it took a lot of major defeats for the reforms attempted by King Jean and then Charles the V to sink in and started changing the French army.Garlix wrote:In France, bearing a sword was the symbol and privilege (oops!) of Nobility right until the Revolution. You see paintings of salons from the late 18th century - and you can recognize the nobles as they actually carry a sword in the goddamn salon!James Caruthers wrote: One thing I noticed in medieval romance was the accounts mostly used weapons and armor as emblems of rank, which goes to the rigid class system. There weren't many stories I can think of where the knight used something other than a sword (arming sword) or lance, even though some of the stories were written in the late medieval period, when arming swords were falling out of favor and militias were becoming the future. This reality would have been at odds with the courtly ideals and beliefs a knight would have had about class structure.

Meanwhile in Medieval England, millions of commoners had longbows and were required to learn how to use them proficiently, leading to predictable ass-kicking of our precious heavy knights and mercenary crossbowmen during the Hundred Years' war. Thank god for gunpowder (and Joan of Arc-ekicker :dance: ).
