For future reference, if you get stuck without flint and steel on the wrong side of the portal, there is a method to relight it without doing the ghast-dance. It appears below inna da spoiler in case you would rather figure it out for yourself. You'll need a burnable block or two and a location whic...

Holy cow. Thanks for the heads-up, Icy. This looks very interesting. The older I get, the more I think about this sort of reality: where dungeons are not amusement parks. Looking forward to this one, now.

Hello everyone. I'm not around much in the community anymore, but this is still my favorite forum. So, I thought I would pop on to say that I have a coupon for half off of Crusader Kings II. I know that folks here would get some enjoyment out of a game like that, and I already own it. Just reply her...

I bet the X game you want is their, it just going to take time before you find it. haha Man, I hope so. I've already got my chips in, so I won't fold on Rebirth. I also believe in Egosoft, so I'm holding out hope. I'm still trying to give it a go because I'm wondering if it won't grow on me somehow...

Thanks for the note, Icy. Agreed. If the question seems aggravating or stupid, just ignore it. No need to open fire. Those old-timers who want to be helpful can do so, and the truly trollish nubcakes will get scooped by FC. He doesn't need any help there.

-snip- Look, man, it's just an opinion. Take it or leave it. If you want to wait for the reviews, then wait for them. No need to snap. I don't think (nor did I write) that the game is shit. It isn't. It's solid. It's just not what I was hoping for, and that was my error because Bernd was quite up f...

Alright. I've played this a bit, and I'll tell you this much. The bugs WILL be fixed. Egosoft has a great reputation for sticking with their games. X:R won't be abandoned, and anything that is gamebreaking or even annoying will be resolved. However, (and this is a big one) if you played X3 and expec...

I don't see his plan. I respect that, man. It's just that, being in a creative field myself, I tend to be more sympathetic, I suppose. So, I just thought I'd toss out there that it may not yet be time to break out the hate. There are plenty of good experiences to be had. After all, it's not like it...

I would encourage a little patience here, man. It is free to play right now, and Schema has openly acknowledged the balance issues. They are on his radar, and he has a couple of really good theorycrafters helping him. We will see what he does with it. It is in open alpha, and even though the meaning...

Ulfengaard shook his head as he field dressed the wolf's carcass: the seventh of these noble creatures he had killed in as many days. Steam rose from the fetid pile as he looked over the remains, searching for some usable portion to salve his conscience in the killing. Sadly, the corpse was nothing ...

Just an update, guys. I'm not trying to drag this out, but I just haven't died yet. I've had a couple of close calls. I was chasing a cow, not paying attention, and I fell into a very deep sinkhole. I was already hungry, and I didn't think I would make it back out. But, I had enough supplies availab...

Sure thing, man. I also was confused by this 'wtf-thrusters in the middle of the ship?' thing. I've rationalized it by thinking of them more as subsystems for the thruster assembly rather than the literal thrusters. I make the actual thrusters out of other materials (ice crystals, for instance, for ...

I just wanted to post a follow-up to all the technical facts. I've had many of these stories over the course of my play, but I thought I would just cite one. I was comfortably docked at an ice planet. I had decided, instead of using the salvaging beam, I would walk out of my ship's airlock (yes, I h...

Alright, so I have a problem. I sometimes get the 'shiny new game' syndrome. I pick up something new, and I get all excited. Then, the novelty wears off, and I find that the game wasn't as great as I thought it was to begin with. In order to avoid posting too soon, I've taken time with the game Star...

Also, happy ending to my story: XCOM is back on sale along with DLCs. Anyone who missed the chance at this earlier, you've got another shot at it.

I'm in, too. Nice idea.

Nice story with a good lesson: be paranoid, very paranoid. Sometimes, it won't make sense. Other times, it will save your life. Better the latter than the former. Thanks for the story. Enjoyed it. :)

Deadlight is on sale on Steam, which makes this a bit of a dual post, but this thread seems the better place.

Has anyone played this zed game? Worth buying? Reasons?

Sometimes, the list of games to vote for for the next sale is just uninteresting to me. Either I have the ones I would vote for, or there aren't any that look good to me. If you're in that boat at the moment, please consider voting for XCOM in the next 15 minutes. I totally missed that sale yesterda...

Good job. Welcome to the fold. You'll find one of the deepest and longest-running game experiences available. Enjoy!

I missed it and the DLCs by two minutes... two lousy minutes. :(

I think he was referring to the fanboy, not cpw. And, the fanboy was definitely flamebaiting.

+1'd it. Awesome, Kahr. Just awesome.

Just expressing interest here, too. I'm really enjoying CKII, and it's gotten me hooked on other strat titles I wouldn't have considered before: Fallen Enchantress, Distant Worlds, and The Guild 2. Not all are directly related, but CKII opened the door for me. I'm really interested in EUIV, so I'll ...

Now granted, Fight Club aside, he joins my Nicolas Cage rant from Icy's LP about actors that used to do cool movies that sold out and now do shit ;) True dat. For Reference: I loved 'Interview with the Vampire'. It introduced me to Anne Rice and the entire Vampire Chronicles series which was just a...
