That was a fail?

That Kid just headbutted the world between his leg and head!

Unless it is the world that failed

That mysteriously didn't answer my question...

Since your not really speaking... does that mean Soulwynd is a child?

It means he's from /b/, and apparently too stupid to talk, but not stupid enough to spout memes at us.

I find very little more annoying. In which I should ask her to stop and put Spoiler tags over her pictures

I, sadly, find it a bit too funny how people can be easily moved into annoyance by simple things. Then of course, comes the insult wannabes, which are funny on their own. I was going to post a chill macro in case you're all actually serious and, in that case, potentially insane, but I saw this marvin macro that I couldn't resist.

In homage to teh[sic] win in subtle offensiveness, referring to me as her, I will put it in spoiler tags.

Unless he actually thought I was a girl, in that case, I must call his sister over for a pajama slumber party. Maybe with some pillow fights. *gestures*



But back in the rogue-like subject, I reminded myself suddenly of Guild, if nobody has mentioned it yet. You control 4 characters and can have plenty more in the backburner, you also own a guild house and there are some quests. No overland map however, the main interface reminds me greatly of old bbs games, but the gameplay one is basically very adom-like.

Oof I go away on DF for a couple of days and yet more gaming ideas! Thanks for staying on topic and for the great responses. I will be playing games until Im 90 at this rate, great stuff lol

I have actually been going through vid tutorials for DF at the momment and I have kinda went from thinking "Hey I can understand why this is good" to "Man this is great!" and am slightly  addicted to it :)

I will just respond to the comment about my social life, yes I am a bit anti social thats because I partied mega hard from 15 to 19 and then ended up realising I could do things with my time which meant I could learn and have things to show for my money, like Software/games, I got into PCs and have never looked back. I realise you were just having a laugh though :) thats cool! I am a bit anti-social(actually very because I resent the cost of going out these days plus all the violence and knifings amongst other things so Im a proud hermit and its kinda ironic I am playing dwarf fortress and making an underground fotress haha) and I did actually used to love FPS/violent games but I kinda got sick of them, as mentioned before on these forums I used to even have utterly stupid preconcieved ideas about people who played RPGs until I got to know a person at college (who is a great friend of mines now) who was like "Just try these rpgs" and now I cant settle for anything less :) N.B Soulwynd its fine , no worries , I dont take nothing bad out of anything on this thread so it would be best for everyone to try to stay on roguelikes and such, I conceed , I am anti social and do need to get out more hehe

Ok back onto rogue likes! Im currently looking at dungeon crawl and I WILL try all these, its just I plan to go on DF for a while, its great because even though I didnt mention this initially I didnt think I would get into DF this much! However being older now I always know not to make a judgement on a game until I can play it and because of this mentality I end up getting into hundreds of weird and unique games/genres

Actually guys/gals one final thing, now I am unsure of whether some space text games have been mentioned in this thread but there is a privateer one + some others on the forum which look really cool. To be honest prior to comming to this forum I had never even heard of space text games but some of them look really damn deep!

I would be interested to try this also at some point, another good find as I like to play some of the older games, see where it all began, hehe its funny how I have quite a decent PC , you would think I would never play text games and only the latest and percieved greatest titles , however all thats happened is I can see graphics for what they are.

Eek.  I feel the need for a new roguelike, but I'm having a hard time since I seem to have played most of the big ones.

I want something that has original ideas (the symbiant class in ToME was a really cool idea, and I'd never seen anything like it before), but that handles smoothly (DoomRL handles like a dream, unlike the *bands which always struck me as a bit clunky).


Hrrmph...  Hell, if someone could just find a more open-ended DoomRL (I don't know, have randomly generated areas of the base that respawn monsters or something) I'd be happy.

My internet is being a piece of shit today, going up and down non-stop, like teenager hormones.

So I've been playing crawl again, I had a vampire necro get to high level, fun stuff, too bad I couldn't get a death log from it, too many enter key presses too fast. :(
