SCOTTISH ALIENS!!!

>_>

Djay will know what I'm talking about. Niff too if he's bothered to explore Alpha Serpentis or any of its neighboring stars.

[niff]

i'm still laughing at the spathi

funniest race ever

[Notesurfer]

The Druuge remind me of Doom for some reason . . .

EDIT: SPOOOOOOOORE!

Also, Draxas, how long does it take for the Shofixti to regenerate? I gave the maidens to Takana, but nothing's happening. \-:

[Draxas]

The Spathi are my favorites in the entire game. Greatest dialog ever. 8)

As for Tanaka and the maidens, well, repopulating an entire species takes some time, even for what are essentially sentient mice. Give him a few months, at least.

[Notesurfer]

The Spathi amuse me to some degree, but I love the Orz because their cadence reminds me of my best friend's when she's being sarcastic. Hilarious stuff.

Incidentally, do any of you guys still play Kingdom of Loathing?

[Draxas]

I've been thinking of getting back to it. Haven't played in ages, though.

[niff]

i play nexuswar but not KoL these days. and sometimes i log into urbandead. nexuswar is amazing though. donating soon

[Notesurfer]

Just curious - I tried Urbandead but I couldn't get into it. Pretty interesting/innovative game though . . .

EDIT:

OMFGRADICALDREAMERZ11!!!1!

Seriously, I am an idiot for putting off playing it for so long. Sure there's really no "gameplay" to speak of, but it's still a total chrono nerdgasm. >_>

[Ranger]

what game are u playin'? and if you haven't tried audiosurf yet god help you

[Draxas]

I saw a link to Audiosurf, but it requires installation of Steam just to get the demo. Looks cool, but oh well.

I actually picked up all 3 of the games mentioned earlier in the thread. Urbandead has a cool setting, but I'm not really all that keen on it; the pace is super slow, and the only way to earn XP is through combat (that I'm aware of, anyway), which makes it an arduous task to get anywhere in the game if you didn't take a combat-oriented archetype right from the get-go. I'm still level 1, and spend most of my turns praying (and frequently disappointed) that my attack is going to score a hit. Never mind actually KILLING something...

Nexuswar is a bit better, at least. I don't feel quite as constrained by the system, since there are plenty of ways to get XP without fighting. I think my only real problem with the game is that I always seem to wake up dead every time I log on. Then again, the game is basically about merciless slaughter if nothing else, so what can you do?

I can't figure out why I ever gave up on Kingdom of Loathing, however. The game has undergone huge expansion since the last time I played, and is still endlessly entertaining.

If anyone is looking to team up, I have the same unsurprising handle for all 3 games (hint: look to your left). Drop me a message if you want to team up.

[Notesurfer]

Drax, I sent you a message in KoL. I'm pretty sure that I've set it up so that you can join my clan if you so desire. Pardon my uncertainty: I haven't used my clan hall for its intended purposes in quite some time, as you can still reap the benefits of being in a clan if you have no members. Regardless, you may wish to join temporarily to get the extra adventures and other perks.

[niff]

if you don't feel like dying in nexuswar, join a random open faction. ridleytown resistance front if you're neutral, pirates of r'lyeh or the shining ones if you're evil, and.. well, i don't know much about good factions, but i'm sure there are some open ones out there. you can hang out in their stronghold when you don't feel like dying lots. although it doesn't really matter level <10. get killed and your items get broken, good for repair work for XP. get killed when using engineering, new targets to restore/disconnect power and repair doors. get killed when you're pure combat.. more people to fight in different areas. stuff like that.

my characters:
Niff - master invisibility void walker
Vandal Cleaver - vampire-line revenant
Grunfeld Bach - rifle wielding eternal soldier or seraph
Maximillian Strauss - wizard, can't decide between caster or battlemage

[Notesurfer]

I'm trying to play bloody Nexuswar, but the friggin' game lags so much it's pretty much impossible. \-:

[Draxas]

Huh. Nexuswar runs pretty quick when I'm on, it's Urbandead that's seriously laggy for me.

I did get your message, and thanks for the booze. I'll check out the clan later on when I play tonight.

As for dying in Nexuswar, well, it really is only a minor inconvenience... Which doesn't make it any less annoying. Still, I may join a clan, but probably not.

[niff]

i use the enhanced interface and it works perfectly fine for me. legacy (classic) is slightly simpler and quicker, but enhanced is fine. but maybe due to timezones i'm not online at peak times? who knows.

fun game. nearly 19 with my main character
