Elemental's Excitingly Excellent Random Banter: No.CLXXVII (177)

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Is 24 hours of random computer games. We played Age of Mythology for a bit, and I died early so I put stupid music on. Wacky hijinks occur when people get sleepy.

And in other news, typing while you're a little tired is tricky to be typo-less and to make things make sense. And such.

I tried doing an all-night with AoM. We ended up going out to make several kilos of poutine (2 kilos of fries, half a kilo of cheese, and 2 packets of poutine gravy), and played about 1, and then switched to watching wrestling.

currently at 11:30 hours. 12:30 left to go. Currently AoE 2. It's fun. I have a big army. I'm being all peaceful and @!"£. It's nice. I hide behind my walls while everyone else beats people up.

[Amiel]

Uh... I did watch The Ring when I was 13 and I'm not scarred for life.

Where did you watch it? In the cinemas or from blu-ray or DVD?

While scarred for life is an embellishment, watching it at the cinemas at unspeakable volumes is scarring.

And this is coming from a guy whose favourite genre is horror.

Back when I played AoE 2, I didn't know how to play, so I would only ever play with the near-infinite resources mode on, then create armies of longbowmen and trebuchets and destroy AI's.

Wait, that ISN'T how you play Age of Empires?

I spawn lots of rocket cars, spam laser guys and super Canadian bears and then launch them at my enemies for profit and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Did you sing as you did it? *needed to get that out*

[AsteriskAmp]

Then why is your eye twitching and why can i hear you whispering 'Eat my family'? Obvious bad joke is obvious bad >.>

Eye twitching is due to lack of sleep, the whispering is missing a "with", which is just the way I invite people to lunch.

Age of Empires 2, also know as medieval Sim City.

Cinema, cousin who was one year younger than me took me, we went with her father. It wasn't traumatizing, though I'll admit I was scared of VHS for a while.

Oh Canada! But the Canadian bear is from elsewhere.

Counterstrike with friendly fire on is amsuing too. Mwahaha!

pew pew pew. Shooty people. Put bullet. Etc etc.

I think I need energy drink of some kind, but all the ones here are revolting. Hmm. Conundrum.

Try Counter-Strike Beta 1. Not only did it have friendly fire as the only option, but Ts and CTs looked alike!

Sometimes the server would crash too. So, what did they do? Write better code? No! They wrote a program to restart a crashed server.

[Cobra_Ikari]

...longbowmen and trebuchets? Psh. Cavalry archers is where it's at. I can't remember what I'd back them up with, though. Tarkans, maybe? Or mamelukes?

[Teddy]

Cavalry archers? Pft, my armies were castles and cannon towers. The enemies didn't stand a chance. What, you mean that it's possible to play without aegis on?

I assume you tower-hop your way to the enemy base? Or do you just rush over a bunch of villagers and pop them at the enemy walls/in the center of town?

[Elemental]

While I admit that I am as fond of fortification as the next person. Constructing towers up to the enemy base seems to be far too annoying to be allowed.
Instead, I like to train a great army of various cavalry and destroy everything that way. Of course, trebuchets are practically a prerequisite of getting into anyone's base.

[Amiel]

Cannot argue with science

[Rawhide]

It's page 50 and not one person has claimed it...

[Elemental]

Well, I can't.
But surely, someone else around here can?

[Amiel]

If no one wishes this burden, then I can shoulder it for the common good :)

[Triscuitable]

Eh, I guess I'm not that enthusiastic.

That depended on how far my villager could get without being attacked.

Well, it requires a monstrous economy and the "aegis" cheat, so it's not a problem you'd encounter in a multiplayer game unless you actually were playing with cheats, in which case I'd call it fair game.

EDIT:
Missed the new thread. Amiel, it's seems you've forgotten to post a link, bro.
