MoonCat's Magnificently Mythopoeic Random Banter #154

[Worira]

I'd really like to enjoy Dwarf Fortress, but I just can't get past the godawful interface. And I don't just mean the ASCII, I do enjoy roguelikes.

I do love Minecraft, though.

[Moff Chumley]

I'm with ya there. Bad Company 2: Vietnam is where it's AT.

[Zaydos]

This is sure to garner some hate, but I do NOT enjoy Dwarf Fortress at ALL.

It's just not a type of game I enjoy. Same with Minecraft.

Same here. Especially now that I know it encourages kitten killing.

[Worira]

It doesn't encourage kitten-killing, it presents a realistic look at the perils of avoiding having your pet spayed or neutered, and the inability to provide proper care that can result!

[absolmorph]

Aha! There you are *pounchs apon Absolmorph!*

Ah..Zaydos, ouch. That's gotta suck. And yet you still like dogs? Wow. As for some cats being more loyal then dogs, I've seen it. Though sometimes cats can be so mean.

EDIT: Aw, Gwyll beat me to it on the "evil cat" remark.

Meep!

I kind of want a cat. Perhaps once I'm living somewhere of my own...

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Same here. Especially now that I know it encourages kitten killing.

It just come naturally, with how the game is set up. The kittens spawn so darn quickly, and you can't get rid of them after, cause they attach themselves to a dwarf who is kitty-brain-washed into protecting the kitty, and then you have more kitties than dorfs! The only way is to cage them when they're born, for processing. Same with most animals, really. Puppies I usually let go, because you can train them to be war dogs, or hunting dogs, and actually do something useful, and a couple of cats can be useful to hunt down rodents, but it just get's out of hand, and basically makes the game unplayable after a certain point, due to sheer slowness.

It's taken me a LONG LONG time to get into the game, partly due to the IMMENSE complexity. Especially now that irrigation is mandatory if you want to get a farm going...

[LaZodiac]

You've...got a good point Skeppio.

Worira, yha, that's pretty much half of why I hate it.

Unfortunatly Moff, that's a game I don't particularly like either XP

EDIT: Absolmorph~ *pets*

What, I like absols. They are awesome.

[Eruantion]

Hence innefficient for evil. It's by making you melt into an easily manipulated puddle that kittens win my noble friend. Those are good too. Tuxedo cats always have a special place in my heart.

No one gets my references... *mumblemumble* (5:12, if you actually watch this)

[Moff Chumley]

Eh, it's one of the very few games I'm truly good at. Vietnam, Bad Company 1, and to a point, Halo Reach. Any other shooters, I'm mediocre at best.

[LaZodiac]

The only shooter I'm good at (and put effort in) is the Metroid Prime series, and the Mass Effect series.

Delicious infinite ammo (except for Mass Effect 2 )

[Eruantion]

Do you happen to play Reach online?

[Kneenibble]

Well, given Blackadder, I imagine such an idea might be viewed less seriously nowadays. On the other hand, Blackadder might prompt people to think of the possibility...

I still haven't seen that, in spite of my terminal Anglophilia. If you'll forgive my painting awfully broad strokes, it's one of the least well known of the classic British comedies in Canada, grouped with fellows like Monty Python or Fawlty Towers or Mr. Bean or that kind of thing.

But if there was a seed of a Richard III Society in Canada in the 70s, I'd be willing to bet there's still a kernel now. I mean there's a UK-based website for it.

Why, Thoughtfur? Why is my heart torn between this broad-grown scion Dominion and its gracious mother Empire?

[Moff Chumley]

My brother's been commandeering the Xbox these days, which means ALL BLACK-OPS, ALL THE TIME, but when he's not doin' his thang and I'm not schoolin' newbs at BC:2V, I'm playing Reach.

Also, Kneen, watch Blackadder. Thank us later.

[CynicalAvocado]

on fps games, my tactics are as follows

1. grenade spam
2. shotgun spam
3. rocket spam
4. bullet spam

for some reason i always get kicked from servers

[Moff Chumley]

I love how, not only are those completely acceptable ways to play CoD, they're some of the only realistic ways.

Ah, I'm sorry to hear about that. Perhaps you can try counseling? Call of Duty is a rampant addiction these days. Yeah, I never get a chance to play nowadays.

I wonder why...

Yay!
I've pretty much adored them since I first saw one. I still have the first two Absols I got, which were both gifts from a friend.

I'm okay at shooters when I get my mind into them. Generally, I'm that guy who always has a negative KDR but advances through sheer stubborn will.
Something I got from my father, I think. He plays CombatArms regularly and is a fairly high level, but he's horrible at it.

[Orzel]

I suck at shooters unless I use a LMG or shotgun. I was awesome when MAG came out.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Vietnam is where it's AT.

Hahahahahaha. No.

[CynicalAvocado]

I wonder why...

oh, and if it moves i kill it. regardless of team affiliation

[LaZodiac]

Ah, right. I also play TF2, but am utterly horrible at it (not only because my laptop is obviously not able to play the game well at all, despite it saying I can play max settings easily)

I'd..actually recomend you never play TF2. It's not really all that fun, unless you're really good at FPSes to begin with.

[Eruantion]

xD man, I can't stand players like you! Are we talking CoD or Reach or what..?

[Moff Chumley]

Hahahahahaha. No.

[Orzel]

At least he's not the stand in the doorway, never warn anyone, and get the enemy too close guy.

[Worira]

I disagree on not playing TF2, at least because of skill. The classes require widely differing quantities of technical FPS skill, from the Sniper, who is almost entirely based on twitch aiming skill, to the Medic, who can be an excellent addition to your team with the right strategy, even if you can't actually aim.

Also, the tech requirements for TF2 are a strange and nebulous thing, shifting according to what poorly optimized update has most recently been put into the game.

[CynicalAvocado]

Spoiler

Show

[LaZodiac]

Ok, good point by Worira. I guess I'm just speaking from personal expierance, where tech issues plus my own lack of skill makes the game near unplayable.

Also, hehe, haterade.

[Rawhide]

cheese

I wear the cheese. It does not wear me.

[MoonCat]

Bluh. I hate the medication I'm taking right now. Absolutely DISGUSTING! And I need to take it three times a day.

[LaZodiac]

Look on the bright side MoonCat, it's not Bucklys!


Unless it IS Bucklys, in which case "Oh god no I feel sorry for you *hugs*"
